MAY NOT COMMIT CHILDREN.
Municipal Court Has no Power to Send
Children to Home at Sparta.

Judge Clifford E. Randall Of the mu-
nicipal court has received a letter from
the Wisconsin state board of control
notifying him that he has no power
under the jurisdiction of his court to
commit children to the Wisconsin
Home for Dependent Children at Spar
ia. AS yet Judge Randall had made
no commitment to this home but mu-
nicipal courts in other parts of the
state had assumed jurisdiction along
this line. Under the ruling of the
state board of control the children
must be sent to this home by either
the county or the circuit judge. In
this county the practice has been to
have the commitment made by the
judge of the County court.

The police have been instructed to
arrest any one found throwing ashes or
other rubbish on the streets of the city
for the street commissioners men to
remove and there are indications that
this time the order is "meant'' and
that no officer will be excused for over
looking offenders in this respect on his
beat no matter who they may be. We
hope SO anyway. 1t does not require
any great stretch of the imagination to
picture what the streets would look
like if all householders used the streets
as dumping ground for their ashes
and rubbish and if we are to have
clean and sanitary city this ordinance
will have TO be enforced against all
alike. Furthermore, we believe that
public sentiment would uphold the
strictCst enforcement of this ordinance
and that it would not take more than
one or two arrests and convictions in
the municipal court to do away with
this nuisance of people throwing
things in the street entirely.

The annual rush of ice cutters, gath
cred from anywhere and everywhere,
into the county for the annual ice har-
vest will be on shortly, and as in years
past they will probably be permitted
to come into the county without any
medical inspection whatever. This an
nual invasion is a serious menace to
the health of the people of the coun-
ty under present conditions, in the
opinion of many physicians, and the
fact that there has been no serious
outbreak Of contagious disease among
these men as yet is no guarantee that
there may not be one any day Every
year there is talk of doing something
in the way of compelling them to
submit to medical examination before
coming into the lake districts but lit
tie or nothing is ever done and it will
probably, take an outbreak of an-epi-
demic of some kind to convince the
people of the county that they should
demand that every possible precaution
should be taken to prevent the gangs
OF ice harvesters bringing contagious
diseases into the county. The condi
lions under which they live and work
are favorable to the development of
any germs they may have with them
and in the event that an epidemic does
break out there is nc guarantee that
the county will not have to pay all the
expenses of fighting it at present and
there will be nothing small about the
bill either. There may be legal diff
culties in the way Of the county going
INTO this medical inspection on its own
responsibility but an order from the
state board of health could be easily
procured that would have all the force
of law on the subject and which
would give the local authorities power
to enforce any regulations deemed
needtul to protect the public health.

The sloping walks in the library
park are great temptation to the
small boys and girls to make their
"slides" there but the park trustees
will have to order ashes or salt put on
the slides whenever they are made
even at the risk of being accused of
spelling sport by the children. Owing
to tho way in which they are built the
walks in the park are unavoidably in
bad condition great part of the win
ter and the chances that the city may
have to stand damage suit by some
body falling on them are numerous
enough without adding to them by
permitting the children to have their
slides there.

A bond circular directs the atten-
ton Of investors to the very low prices
at which municipal securities and
other excellent securities, for that mat
ter--are now selling. Thousands of
men aud women of small means are
able to purchase bonds in the small
denominations offered-$500 and less
and thus feel what has been called
the magic of property" which yields
return.
1t is an excellent thing for munich
palities and counties and corporations
to "peopleize" the securities they is
sue. 1t is an excellent thing for the
average man or woman to own first
rate remunerative securities. Such
ownership makes for sanity, for pru-
dence, for honesty, in many different
ways. 1t is a safeguard against I'M
fair legislation and thoughtless agita-
ton.
Tho greater the number of persons
having "a stake in the country the
better for the country. The greater
the number of sane investors the hard
er it is for get-rich-quick swindlers to
entrap victims. Sound ideas concern
ing investment Of savings and legiti-
mate earnings of accumulated capital
have been one Of the most valuable of
French assets, moral and economic.
They would be as good an asset here.

came to Kenosha the Unitarian society
was disbanded and no services had
been held for years but she gathered
up the scattered threads of the con-
gregation and brought in many new
members. Under her pastorate the
Henry NJ. Simmons church, one of the
finest churches in the West was built.
Not only as a church woman but as g
worker in many fields was Miss Buck
revered and respected in Kenosha and
she gave her best efforts to many
movements for the uplift of Kenosha.
In many ways she was the most distin-
guished woman ever residing in Ken
osha and her influence left deep I'M
print on the city. With her compan-
ion Miss Murdoch she took an active
part III many of the organizations of
the city particularly the Kenosha Play
Grounds association and the Kenosha
Woman's Club and these two organiza-
tions by her resignation lose one of
their staunchest supporters and best
advisers.
The Rev. Rowena Morse has been
employed to fill the pulpit of the Hen
ry M. Simmons church for one year
and it is very probable that she will
be retained as the permanent pastor
of the church. She is a woman of dis
tinction and high literary ability and
in the few months she has been in
Kenosha she has shown herself able to
take the place of her distinguished pre-
decessor.

Any one who has the money to spare
and is willing to pay his taxes now in
stead of waiting until February will
be doubly welcome at the offices of the
city treasurer any time now. The city
treasury is empty, the schools are run
ming on borrowed money and the city
must have money from the new tax
roll to meet expenses so that the man
with taxes to pay who has any idle
money will confer favor by settling
up at once. The city needs the money,
there is no doubt of that but just why
all the money raised last year is gone
and where it went to is something that
the men who paid it in will have to
figure out for themselves.

TO FIT UP COUNCIL CHAMBER
Old Furniture Will be Used Wherever
Possible Until City Has a Balance
Which Will Warrant Other Expendi-
ture.

The finance committee acting with
the building committee of the Common
Council has decided that no large
amount of money will be spent in the
furnishing of the new city hall and
when the new building is opened the
first of March it will be furnished for
a large part with the furniture now
owned by the city. This joint commit
tee has decided that every possible
cent will be saved in getting the build
ing ready for the occupancy of the
city and it is thought that the ex-
penditure for furnishings will not ex-
coed $4,000. 1t will be necessary to
purchase new furniture for several of
the Offices including the office of the
City Treasurer, that of the City At
torney and for the Police and Fire
Chief s offices as none of these offices
have furniture enough to furnish the
new rooms in the building. 1t has
been practically decided that the coun-
Gil chamber will be fitted out complete
and this will be done in proper style.
The old chairs and desks in the pres
ent council chamber have been, doing
service for more than ten years and
some of them for twenty and they
show the result of long usage. The
furnishings in the present Mayors of
fee are in excellent condition and
suitable for use in the new building
and the furnishings of the Office of the
City Clerk will be fit for use. How
ever. it will be necessary to purchase
a full set of new files for the vaults
in this office and it is probable that
new files will be purchased for the of
fee of the City Engineer. 1t is not
probable that the city at this time
will provide for the furnishing of the
various committee rooms or for the
lifting up of the room designed as
meeting place for the board of educa-
ton. The school board will use the
new council chamber for a meeting
place for the present at least but in

The state of Wisconsin is far in ad-
vance of most OF the states of the I'M
ion in the care of it's deaf and dumb
children and the state school at De-
lavan is one of the very best of its
kind in the country. 1t is equipped
to take charge of the education of
these unfortunate children and fit them
to earn their own living in every walk
In life and, in spite of the tremen-
dous handicap of their misfortune, to
make them good and useful citizens.
All these advantages are practically
free for the state pays for board, room,
washing, -4ght. heat, tuition, and books
so that the expense for the entire year
for any child need not exceed five dol,
lars and parents of deaf and dumb
children who fail to send their children
there are doing the little ones a great
wrong. 1t amounts to depriving them
of their chance in life by denying them
the education that will enable them
to compete with the more fortunate
who have the use of all their faculties
on somewhere near equal terms. Nor
need the slight expenses involved in
sending a child to this school deter
any parents from making application
for the admission of their deaf and
dumb children, no matter how poor
they may be, for we are certain that
the small amount needed in addition
to the regular expenses assumed by the
state would be eheerfully contributed
by any of the charitable organizations
OF the city or by individuals. Under
the circumstances there is not the
slightest excuse for any deaf and dumb
children of Wisconsin being deprived
of an education and we hope that any
one who knows of any afflicted child
ren who are not attending this school
will make it his business to INQUIRE
into the matter and take up the cues
ton of sending them there with the
proper authorities. 1t is a small sac
rifce of time only that will be re-
quired from any one and little inter
est shown at the proper time may be
the means of saving some unfortunate
child from the darkness Of utter ignCr-
aSee.

This is a good time for representa-
tive body like the Commercial club to
take account of the progress which the
commission plan of municipal govern
ment has made since Galveston adopted
1T. There are now ninety-seven Ameri-
can cities which have voted ont mavors
ana aldermen to the end that thew
may be more simply, economically and
effectively governed. 1t will not be
long before the one hundred mark is
reached.
The geographical distribution Of the
nlnety-seven cities is most uneona1
Forty-nine of them are in the three
states of Texas, Kansas, and Okla
noma. That is not surprising. A Tex.
as city led the way, and Kansas and
Oklahoma are always eager to trv ex-
perlments. Next to Oklahoma with it's
ten commission governed cities comes
Iowa with its eight. Not single civ
IN phe great states of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania has
adopted the commission plan. New
England is more progressive. Five
Massachusetts cities have been won
over to it, and last mouth Norwich
Conn, voted to give it a trial. In the
south bakers dozen of cities are
working under the new plan.
1t has made greater number of
conquests than might haxe been ex-
pected IN SO short time. It has had
to contend against the reluctance of
the majority to change long estab.
llshed and familiar forms of Govern.
ment. There has been arrayed against
1t the active hostility of local politi-
clans, who see in it serious interior
enee with their business. That ex-
plains why the last Illinois legislature
passed law deliberately botched so
as to make it unacceptable. Give III
lnois a decent law and the voters of
many cities would avail themselves of
1t speedily. From Illinois it would
spread into Indiana and Ohio, which
have been singularly apathetic.
The reform in municipal government
which has made so promising a be-
ginning will not spread over the coun-
try like a prairie fire and then die
down. 1t will make steady progress.
After it shall have been generally
adopted by the smaller cities, misgov.
eminent may goad some large city in.
to trying it.-Tribune.

Western Golf Assn. to Hold
Annual Meeting in Chica-
go i'll January
WILL ACT ON YULE RESOLUTION

Formal notice was issued on Satur-
day by the Western Golf Association
Of the annual meeting to be held at
Chicago on Jan. q, meeting at which
there may be many matters of the
greatest Importance to western golfers
to be decided. Not the least import
ant is the resolution of w. L.. Yule
of the Kenosha club presented last
year, but postponed at that time, in
which there is provision made for the
change Of the name of the association
to the American Golf association, and
the branching out of the organiza-
ton from sectional to national as
ISOLATION.
There is every reason to believe that
there will be no excuse for the change
Of name and scope, for the United
States Golf association will meet in
Chicago on Jan. 4, and will take action
to change its form of government and
to recognize the west in manner
which will probably prove so satisfac-
tory to western golfers that the west
erners will not think it necessary to ex-
pand.
AT the national open tournament in
the east late last summer, report was
printed of probable war between the
United States and the Western Golf
associations, referring to the coming
Chicago meetings, but it seems practi-
cally certain at this time that there
will be no war. The east appears to
be in spirit to recognize the west,
and this spirit, if carried out in the
changes desired in the gu. S. Ct. AZ
constitution will prevent any danger
of the rumored war.
Of special interest to Milwaukee in
the Chicago meeting is the fact that
Oliver G. Fuller, president of the Mil
waukee Country club, is the nominee
for treasurer of the western associa-
ton. Il. L. Boyd, also of the Milwau-
kee Country club is slated for member
ship ON the nominating committee for
the following year.
Detroit and Denver are the appli-
cants for the next western ssn cham
pionship and Denver is i probable
winner, being in the race against Min
nikahda Of Minneapolis for the 1910
tournament, but being defeated by the
Minnesota club.

There are runners that the men who
work in the ice harvest in this county
are organizing and preparing in every
way possible to engage in a big battle
with their employers as soon as the
harvest gets fairly started and if that
is the case Kenosha county will IN all
probability have to spend considerable
money preserving the peace until these
differences are adjusted satisfactorily.
The big ice companies say that the eff
fort to organize the ice cutters means
nothing and that everything will be
as peacable as usual in the ice
fields during the harvest but for all
that, we would prefer to have any pos
sible differences over wage scales or
anything else adjusted before the men
come into this county. If the men have
any grievances against the companies,
the chances of trouble in this county
will be much lessened if an under
standing is reached before the men
sign on for the harvest at the different
employment agencies now engaged in
getting the gangs of ice workers to-
gether for the harvest. Perhaps the
possibility that numbers of deputies
might be required for service at any
time this winter was one of the things
the new sheriff had in mind when he
refused to make contract covering
all of hts expenses with the county
board.

Uncle Same will give you a choice of
three ways to get your mail-by car
rier, through the general delivery, or
in a rented box at the postoiiice-but
having once decided on which one you
prefer you must stick to it and if you
are on the carrier list the clerks at the
postoffice will no longer be required TO
search through the sacks of the carriers
for your letters when you call at the
office. It was found that ninety per
cent of the people who had the sacks
searched for them got nothing and the
heads of the department decided to do
away with lot of useless labor for
the clerks by making the rule that PEG
pie on the carrier routes must wait
for deliveries.

WILL GO TO ALAMEDA, CAL.
Trustees of the Church to Meet on
Wednesday Evening to Take Formal
Action in Acceptance of Resigna-
ton of Well Loved Pastor.

The Rev. Florence Buck, pastor of
the First Unitarian Society who was
recently granted leave of absence of
year by the board of trustees of the
Henry M. Simmons church will not re-
turn TO Kenosha as at the morning SER
vice at the church on Sunday a letter
was read from Miss Buck in which she
presented her formal resignation as
pastor Of the society. In resigning
her dear friend the Rev Marion Muir
dock was such that it would be impos-
sible for her to return to the lake
shore climates and that she felt that
it was her duty to continue the asso-,
Citations of a life time by remaining
on the Pacific slope. Miss Buck ex-
pressed deep regret that she would not
be able to return to Kenosha and re-
sumo her very pleasant relations with
the First Unitarian Society of this
city but under the circumstances she
asked that the resignation be accepted.
The letter was heard with deep regret
by the members of the congregation
and the board of trustees will hold
special meeting on Wednesday even
ing at which time the resignation will
be accepted and Miss Buck dismissed
as pastor of the society here. This
action will leave her free to accept
call to the pastorate of the First Uni
tartan society of Alameda, Cal, which
she has already accepted provision
ally. The new pastorate is in one Of
the most prosperous of the districts on
the Pacific coast and the church at
Alameda is one of the strongest in the
West. Since leaving Kenosha Miss
Buck mas spoken in many Of the lead
ing churches on the Pacific coast and
her services have been eagerly sought
by several Unitarian societies.
The resignation of Miss Buck closes
a pastorate of more than nine years in
