Although approved by the people by
majority Of over 10000 votes 1t is
stated that the constitutional amend
ment permitting the state to approprl-
ate money for the purchase of land
for public works, ETC., fails because OF
the failure of the legislature to observe
certain necessary formalities before
submitting the question to a vote OF
the people of Wisconsin at the last gen
eral election. The, resolution providing
for the submission of this question,
like a lot of other important business,
was neglected at the last session and
left over for the special session which
it was supposed would be called this
summer. In consequence of this neg
lect the question will have to be placed
on the ballot again at the next general
election. The fact that the voting on
this question would be without any
effect must have been known before it
was placed on the ballot but putting it
there was the best possible way to as
certain the views of the voters with re-
gard to the amendment. If it was
left on the ballot for that purpose
the results were certainly definite
enough to satisfy any one and the next
session Of the legislature can go
through the necessary formalities for
putting this amendment on the next
ballot with the practical certainty that
it will be carried.

In his condemnation Of the produc-
ton Of notorious opera in his diocese
Archbishop s. G. Messmer takes occas-
ion to quietly define for his church the
limit to which the plea of - artistic
merit" made in behalf of any work
should be allowed to influence his peo-
pie and the words Of the archbishop
might well be taken to heart by the
people of all denominations. He says:
"All the pleas put forth in the name
of art cannot overrate the demands
of sound morality and Christian prin-
ciple. Measured by this standard
there are other works that should
speedily be barred.

1t is not to be wondered at that the
Milwaukee merchants have at last
walked up to the benefits of the trade
OF this city and that they are reach
ing out after it by means of free ex.
cursions and by every other means in
their power. The only wonder is that
they have not been after it before.
There is only this to say about such
a proposition as the merchants of Mil
waukee present to the people of Ken
osha' In the first place we are of the
opinion that altogether too much trade
goes out of this city for the good of
kenosha and it's business interests and
that the largest proportion of the goods
bought outside the city could be pur-
chased here for the same or less money
than is paid outside and with greater
assurance that the goods would !! sat
lstaetory in every way, for the home
merchant can be found at his place of
business every business day in the
year, anxious only that his customers
should be satisfied with his goods and
ready to do everything in his power to

ARREST A SHOP LITTER.
Mrs. Fl. Beardsley of Chicago Arrested
for Petty Theft in Kenosha Friday.

The first case of shop lifting in Ken
osha during the present holiday season
was brought to light on Friday after
noon when Mrs. H. Beardsley Chicago
woman was arrested at the store of T.
J. Dale On Main street charged with
the larceny of silver mesh bag valued
at five dollars. The woman had come
into the store with a Kenosha woman
and while the clerks were busy she
had taken a mesh bag. A saleslady
working on the second floor of the store
saw the woman take the bag through
a sky light and she at once reported
it. Chief O'Hare was called and the
Chicago woman claimed that it was
her first offense. She begged so hard
that Mr.. Dale announced that he would
not appear against her and she was
released with the understanding that
she would leave Kenosha at once.

FOR TEN YEAR CENSUS.
One Amendment to the State Constitu-
ton Carried at Recent Election.

ton Carried at Recent Election.
The census Of Wisconsin will not
be taken every five years and only
when the United States government
has the census of the several states
taken will the population Of this state
be known as the proposal to amend
the constitution by providing for the
doing away with the taking of the
state census was carried by vote of
54,932 against 52,634. Until complete
returns were received from Milwaukee
county it was believed that the plan
to do away with the taking of the
state census had been defeated but the
returns from Milwaukee county turned
an adverse majority of l 500 into real
majority for the proposition of 2,29S
The vote on the proposal to increase
the pay of legislators from $500 to
1000 shows that it was defeated by
a majority of 32,125, the vote being
44,153 for to 1928 against.
The amendment to permit the state
to appropriate moneys for the purchase
of land for public works, etc., carried
by vote of s62,468 to As, 924, ma
jority for the amendment 1854. This
amendment fails, however, because Of
the failure of the legislature to take
the necessary steps to submit it to a
vote. The resolution providing for it's
submission should have been acted up
on by the legislature of 1907. It was
put over, however, to await the action
of a special session which it was sup
posed at the time would be called in
1910. The special session was not
called and now, although the electors
of the state have given approval, the
amendment fails.

There was nothing particularly strik-
ing or sensational about the presidents
message to the congress and it has been
declared TO more closely resemble the
report Of the chairman of a great COM
pany to his board of directors and
stockholders than anything else but
there is one section Of the message in
which he lays down broad general
policy for his administration which has
been widely read and quoted. The
paragraph is as follows:
Except, as above, [ do not recon-
mend any amendment to the interstate
commerce law as it stands. do not
now recommend any amendment to the
antitrust law. In other words. it
seems TO me that the existing legisla
ton with reference to the regulation of
corporations and the restraint OF their
business has reached point where we
can stop for while and witness the
effect of the vigorous execution of the
laws on the statute books in restrain
ing the abuses which certainly did
exist and which reused the public to
demand reform. If this test develops
a need for further legislation, well and
good, but until then let us execute
what we have. Due to the reform
movements of the present decade, there
has undoubtedly been a great improve
ment In business methods and stand
ards and in the earnestness of effort OIL
the part Of business men to comply
with the law They are now seeking
to know the exact limitations upon
business methods imposed by the law,
and these will doubtless be made clear
er by the decisions of the Supreme
court in cases pending before it.
l believe it to be in the interest of
all the people Of the country that for
the time being the activities of gov.
ernments in addition to enforcing the
existing law, be directed toward the
economy of administration and the en-
largement of opportunities for foreign
trade, the building up of home indus
tries, and the strengthening of conf
dence of capital in domestic invest
ment.

LUMBERMEN meet.
Listen to Addresses on the Subject of

Kansas City, Mo. Jan. 25.-D. Aus

principal address at the opening ses-

Lumbermen's association.
Mr.. Latchaw spoke on Forestry and
Lumbermen."
ssIt is proposed" said he, "that the
formation of state forestry associa-
ton shall be undertaken. similar to a
very effective organization of this kind
in Louisiana and to be inaugurated at
state meeting to be called in St.
Louis some time in April 1t is the
purpose. through this association. to
enlist the support of every friend of
forestry in Missouri and through the
small membership fee to create fund
for the spread of educational literature
along forestry lines.
"After all, the tree problem, the
problem of meeting and ultimately

er becomes interested in the subject.
The land owner must be enlightened
and enlisted. He must be induced to
plant trees where trees ought to grow
and where he can afford to let them
grow. In the great prairie states, es-
pecially, 1t is not so much a question
of conserving forests as a question of
planting trees where none grow now.
Every state should have f0reS-
try department headed by a technical
forester The department should
have an appropriation large enough to
establish and maintain one or more
nurseries: to prepare and widely dis
tribute literature on the value and
care of trees and on the classification
of trees with reference to soil or other
conditions; to distribute among the
farmers and others, from such nur-
series. as many trees as may be want
ed for planting, either free of charge
except for expressage-or at a rate
no wise discouraging to the planters"
Harry A. Gorsueh, secretary, in his
annual report said:
at is for you, lumbermen, whether
you be manufacturers or dealers. to
promote consistent forestry policies,
not only because by thus doing you
make provision for the future of your
own business but also because by so
doing you promote the public welfare.
You should take a hand in determin-
ing what the formulated policies of
your state shall be. You have poten-
tialities in these directions that should
be employed
Secretary Gorsueh urged that all
western towns should have wooded
parks 1.-THE growing of trees for park
purposes said he, will not contrib
ute directly to the timber supply for
commercial purposes, but the growing
of trees anywhere is an effective OBJ
ject lesson in forestry culture"

annual address. said the association
was in a dourishing condition.
