After a few more rich and promi-
nent people have been hauled up and
compelled to face the humiliation OF
paying heavy fines Tor smuggling it
will not be considered quite so much
Of a joke on the transatlantic steam
ers to attempt to cheat the revenue
officers at the port of entry. Those
who have been caught and mulcted III
heavy fines do not deceive anybody
but themselves by their explanations
Of how they came to be "caught with
the goods on them lin the language
of the criminal classes on a par with
whom these rich smugglers deliberate
ly place themselves-and they richly
deserve all the punishment they are
getting The arrest and conviction
Of these smugglers is one Of the first
results OF the thorough overhauling of
the customs service undertaken by
President Taft and carried through in
the face of powerful if yelled opposi-
ton.

Tt is rather remarkable that such a
state of affairs as has been shown to
exist in the Wisconsin State Board of
Agriculture by the report of the audit
ing committee which has been going
through the books of the board could
have been allowed to run along for
such long period of time without Civ
ing rise to criticism enough to bring
about an investigation especially as so
many ambitious gentlemen have been
on the watch for chance to get into
the Hmelight by reforming something
all the time the board has been per.
hitting its business affairs to run along
any old way. 1t is not contended that
the audit of the books of the board
has disclosed anything dishonest or that
any prosecutions should follow, but the
report of the auditing committee does
disclose the fact that it is high time
that change was made in the methods
OF accounting used by the board. The
members OF the board could hardly
have been blind to the faults of the sys-
tenn of bookkeeping used in the bust
ness of the board but this is probably
ease of permitting things to go
ahead the same old way simply because
none of the members of the board cared
to exert themselves sufficiently to bring
about changes. 1t takes much force
OF character and energy to overturn old
established methods of doing business
IN public or private office and appar
emily all of the members of the board
were content to leave things as they
found them rather than to undertake
the task of inaugurating new system.
The sins of the members of the board
IN this case appear to be rather those
OF omission rather than commission and
as stated above nothing of a criminal
nature has been disclosed by the audit
OF the books Of the board unless lax
business methods which put premium
on dishonesty and bad management of
public trust such as would not be
tolerated in the private affairs Of the
men responsible for it for a minute
comes under the head of criminal care
lessness' Now that the report of the
auditing committee has shown what is
needed, it is certain that all of the ac-
counts OF the board will be put in first
class order and that the methods COM
planned of will no longer be tolerated.
IN this case as in so many others all
that is needed is little publicity

The street committee of the common
council has yielded to the wishes of
the Ashland avenue property owners
and the paving is to be put down on
that street along the old lines. 1t is
believed that the slight changes will
save all Of the shade trees ON the sides
of the street and it is a pity that SINH
lar action to save the trees was not
taken on some Of the other streets
which have been graded in the past
year or two. The outcome Of the
protest of the Ashland avenue people
shows how simple and easy it would
be to preserve much of the beauty Of
the city had we park commission
with the power to make any slight
changes in the lines or grades of the
streets as necessity arose Tt often
happens with the rigid adherence to
line and rule in making public i'm
provements that property is often dam
HSCu A%CHCl Glou IIlp1ON6u ny Inc pay
ing operations undertaken by the city.
Certainly the destruction of line of
shade trees in front of any piece of
property reduces its selling value very
materially. The council must pass or
dinances that apply to all alike and
yet it does not look to be good bust
ness sense to adhere to strict rules
when slight changes would save prop
erty owners hundreds and thousands Of
dollars without putting cent of addi-
tional expense on the city. The solu-
ton of how to get the improvements
without damaging property owners lies
in the creation of park commission
and some day we will have such body
in Kenosha, but it is to be feared that
we will not become enlightened enough
to see the need of such commission
until much irreparable damage has
been done.

Mr.. Biddle's millions carry no weight
in the roped ring. Not only on Thurs
day afternoons, but on other occasions,
the fighting is for keeps as conse-
quence, the society man has had black
eyes, cut cheeks, and bloody noses
time and again. Three or four of his
ribs are permanently displaced in con-
sequence of an encounter that he had
with a man who outmatched him in
reach and weight.
AS will be seen, the room bears on
it's walls many trophies of the ring
and it's opponents. If these same walls
could speak, they might tell many in
teresting tales of the bouts in which
Mr.. Biddle spared with famous heroes
of the "mits." Thus he has faced Bob
Fitzsimmons, Corbett, Jack Johnson,
the present holder of the heavyweight
championship; AL Kaufman, and so
forth. AS a hard hitter, the possessor
of clever foot work and finished sell
ence, Mr. Biddle hardly yields place to
any other amateur boxer in this coun-
try.
Like a good many other pioneers of
new movement, Mr.. Biddle has had
to pay the penalty of advocating the
novel idea that properly used athletic
