AS TESTIMONIAL TO PATRIOTS
Suggestion Presented to the County
Board by William H. Harrison
Meets With Much Support Among
the Members of the Board

A movement leading to the erection
of a permanent memorial to the men
of Kenosha county who served in the
federal army during the war of the re-
bellion was started this afternoon
when William H. Harrison of Randall,
as a representative of many of the
members of the grand army in the
city and county, appeared before the
county board and presented a memorial
asking the board to take some action
to name a committee whose duty it
shall be to make provision for having
the names of all soldiers of the county
together with their rank, their COM
panies and their term of service plac-
ed or the walls of the Kenosha county
court house. The memorial follows:
Memorial
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
Of Kenosha County.
Gentlemen
We, the undersigned Old Soldiers of
Kenosha County do hereby respectful
ly request and recommend that your
Honorable Body appoint committee
of five, to consist of not less than two
Old Soldiers to consider and recon-
mend some device or way whereby the
name, company, regiment, rank, date
of enlistment, and the date of final dis
charge, company, regiment and rank
Of every Old Soldier who enlisted from
or was or should be credited to Keno
sha County during the Civil War may
be placed upon the walls of the court
house in the County Judges Court room,
Register of Deeds, county clerks Of
fee or some suitable room that the
said Honorable County Board may
designate. There to remain as a per-
petual record of the patriotism Of the
people of Kenosha county in the ter
rife strife between the states from
1861 to 1865 and make their report at
the next annual meeting of the county
board.
The question was discussed by the
board and some action will probably
be taken before the adjournment of
the board.
The movement is one that has long
been considered by the men in the
county who had part in the great
Civil War and it is thought that men
who have taken an interest in the af-
fairs of the grand army would be will
ing to give literally to fund for the
carrying out of the plan.
The placing Of the names of these
men ON the walls of the court house
would make one of the most interest
ing historical works ever attempted in
any county in Wisconsin. In some
of the counties Of other states this
work has already been done, but few
counties in Wisconsin have seen their
way clear to slgnally honor the men
who fought in the Civil War by the
placing of such tablets. Where the
plan suggested has been followed
bronze tablets have been set up.
1t would be an easy matter to get
most of the historical facts needed for
the memorial as nearly all of these
facts are in the hands of the war de-
partment and it is certain that the
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic in the county would furnish
all the information needed.
The action of the board will be
watched with interest not only by the
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic but by all PATRIOTIC citizens
of the city and county.

Had the Racine County Board of
Supervisors or the trustees of the in
sane asylum seen fit to make a search
ing and public investigation Of the
management of that institution at the
time when charges of cruelty to in
mates first came out and taken
such action as was warranted by
the evidence produced much of
the notoriety which will undoubt-
eddy follow an investigation of
the asylum by the state board
of control might have been avoided
and the Racine county supervisors and
the trustees of the asylum would have
appeared in much better light be-
fore the public. Tt should not have
been necessary to call on the state
board Of control to straighten out the
affairs of the institution at all. What
ever changes or reforms are necessary
should have been made by the Racine
officials and made as quietly and as
expeditiously as possible. The big
gest mistakes in connection with this
matter were the holding of a secret
session to hear the evidence on the
cruelty charges and the refusal of the
Racine supervisors to admit repre-
sentative from the Kenosha Board of
Supervisors to the hearing If there
was any intention on the part of the
Racine officials to- apply the "white-
wash' brush to asylum affairs and
hush up the charges they took the sur
est way to defeat their own ends for
the holding of secret session and the
failure to admit the representative of
the Kenosha board aroused more dis
cussion and suspicion that everything
was not as it should be than any num-
Der of open hearings would have done
especially if the intention Of the Ra-
cine officials to sift the whole matter
to the bottom had been made manifest
from the beginning. Furthermore,
the Racine supervisors must have had
a very poor opinion of the manner in
which their brethren in Kenosha per
form their duties to expect them to
submit to being barred from the hear
ing on asylum matters when all of the
insane from this county are confined
in that institution. They might have
known that the Kenosha supervisors
would insist ON the fullest inyestiga-
ton of all of the charges conducted in
"a manner satisfactory to them and
whatever action they deemed neces-
sary to right matters and in case they
failed to get such action from the Ra-
cine officials that. they would go over
the heads of the asylum trustees and
demand action from the state authori-
ties. AS to present conditions at the
asylum the friends and relatives of the
Kenosha patients confined there need
have no fears that they are being
abused now. They are undoubtedly
being given the best of care and at
tention with this investigation pend
ing. AS for the future the state
board of control may be depended up
on to straighten matters out at the
institution should any action be re-
quired after the evidence has been
heard. It should be borne in mind
that so far no evidence tending to sub
stantiate the charges has been produc-
ed and that the present troubles may
be due more to the mistake in iudg-
ment of the Racine supervisors in at
tempting to keep matters secret than
to actual conditions at the institution.
