iety for better state of affairs in
my own county, am greatly inter
ested in the discussions which are be-
ing carried on through the columns
of your paper There are a few pro-
gressive rural communities which
have system and thus some degree of
certainty as to where finances are
coming from with which to keep long
term schools going. Most of the
cities and towns levy tax sufficient
to buy equipment and pay all ex-
penses of running school.
= do not write for argument, be-
cause [ could not enter into a debate,
but I write to reply to very reason
able, and possibly influential gentle
man who had a letter in The Jeffer-
sonian last week about local tax He
says he is not hurt by the tax he
pays, although he has no pupils to
receive the benefit. He takes a very
unselfish view, but he finds objec-
lions on the part of patrons who live
on the border line of his large dis
trict. Those remotely situated pa
irons want school convenient Who
can blame them? They pay as much
tax as any one, why not force the
trustees to give them a teacher over
there in their backwards? Because
the district cannot afford to have but
one school. Because three or four
teachers in one big central school
can do more and better work than
three teachers in three separate
schools. Suppose there are seven
grades in each school Suppose all
unite. Only seven grades for three
teachers. See how much better work
can be done. Instead of having
separate school buildings, shabby and
unattractive, have one large build
ing. Have pictures and flowers and
make it as much like home as posi-
BILE. Take the extra money you are
about to spend to run those border
schools and pay some one to carry
the children to the large school. This
has been successfully done in Geor-
gia, and the attendance of those who
go on wagons is better than that of
those who are near enough to walk.
Another reason why you do not
want schools near each other is be-
cause the little side schools furnish a
refuge for unruly pupils in time OF
storm. Several little schools near

broad plans and purposes are perfect
nuisances and keep up division and
strife all the while.
I have long since learned that one
teacher with half dozen grades may
hear lessons, but never teach.
My plea is for large districts, fewer
and better schools, trained teachers.
Shame on Georgia that she does not
appropriate enough money to provide
quarters for all who knock at the
doors of her only two training
schools for teachers. No wonder
Georgia is so illiterate when in so
many rural sections patrons are con-
tent to take girls who never saw in
side book on pedagogy or read even
the current events, or a young man
who has not even finished the
seventh grade. The former is i'm
posing upon helpless humanity long
enough to make enough money to
buy her trousseau, the latter is bound
for business college or some other
pursuit.
But how get the means to pay
trained teachers, build a beautiful
up-to- date schoolhouse; put pictures
on the walls; buy a piano; build a
dormitory for teachers and few
Students; buy industrial equipment;
dictionaries, maps and so on? Local

STRONG OPPOSITION TO BILL
Rivers and Harbors Measure
pected to Have Battle

Strong opposition is to develop to
the passage at this session of the river
and harbor appropriation bill in which
Kenosha is interested to the amount
of $4,000. With liberal contribu-
ton of fat those now at work framing
rivers and harbors bill expected to
be able to force it through, but the
powerful committee on public expendi-
lures in the senate has issued the edict
that the public treasury will not stand
any such appropriations. Tt is esti-
mated that the federal tresury must
confront a deficit of something like
half a billion dollars and that in the
face of this congress must keep down
appropriations to necessary items and
then boil down the amounts to the
lowest reserving for some future day,
when the state of the finances is better,
appropriations for river and harbor i'm
provements and public buildings.
A heated fight is certain to ensue,
which will develop whether the powers
that control the senate will be sufficient
ly powerful to carry the day.

Supreme Court to Hear Argu-
ment for New Trial of Muir
der Case at Madison
BRADLEY ATTORNEY HOPEFUL

| Attorney Calvin Stewart who repre-
sented John Bradley who was convict
ed of murder in the first degree at the
| last March term of the circuit court
has been notified that the supreme
court of the state will hear the argu-
ment for a new trial for Bradley on
! February 4th. In the action the state
will be represented by Attorney GEN
eral Frank L. Gilbert and District At
torney r. Y. Baker and it is certain
that a bitter argument will be made
to prevent the decision of the jury in
the lower court being altered in any
way. Attorney Stewart has filed his
brief in the case and he demands a
new trial for Bradley on the ground
that Judge Belden refused to give
certain instructions to the jury.
AT the time Bradley was arraigned
in the court the district attorney re-
fused to file any information against
him except that calling for trial
for murder in the frst degree and
when the evidence had been heard by
the jury he insisted that the court
should instruct the jury only as to
conviction on a charge of murder. At
the time Attorney Stewart urged that
as there was evidence of a quarrel at
the time of the shooting that the
court should instruct the jury in the
various degrees of manslaughter, but
these instructions were not given by
the court. When the verdict was re-
turned the twelve men .on the jury
sent recommendation of clemency
to the court but there was no course
under the verdict but to send Bradley
to prison for life. In his brief At
torney Stewart has made much of this
communication from the jury to the
court and he insists that this indicates
that had the jury been instructed that
it could find Bradley guilty on one of
the various forms of homie eide the YER
dict would have been different one.
The same attorneys are to take part
in the argument of the case of the
State VS.. Charles Loescher in which
Loescher seeks new trial and for
this reason an effort is being made to
have both eases argued on the same
day.

Officials Search in the Snow
Banks for Some Trace of
Missing Farmer
STARTED TO WALK TO BRIGHTON

Relatives of Jorgen Fredson are
now working on the theory that the
old man who disappeared from Keno
sha on the night of Tuesday, January
18th, has persisted in the snow and
searchers are covering the ground be-
tween Kenosha and Brighton with a
hope of finding some trace of the body
of the old man. The son and other
relatives of Fredson seem to- think
that this will prove the solution of
his strange disappearance. The of
6cials who have been following up the
case have discovered that Fredson was
seen at the station of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway Company on the
night of his disappearance just after
nine O'Clock. He stopped and talked
with the baggage man at the station
and was evidently waiting for train
for the west. He said something
about walking home and it is thought
that he started out to walk from Ke-
nosha to Brighton. 1t would have
been almost physical impossibility
for any one to have made this trip
on the day in question At the time Fred
son left the Northwestern station he
was under the influence of liquor and
IN his condition it is not thought that
he could have weathered the storm for
more than a half an hour. For this
reason it is thought that the old man
fell In the snow and persisted after
he had gone couple of miles from
Kenosha. The men at the Northwest
ern station sought to prevent Fredson
from starting for home on foot, but he
insisted that he was able to walk the
distance and started out in the storm.
The officials have been pretty well
over the roads between Kenosha and
the village of Salem where Fredson s
horse had been left on the morning
of his disappearance, but absolutely
no trace of the man has been found
and no one has been found who saw
him on the night he started for home.
There was no one with Fredson when
he was last seen at the station and it
is thought possible that he made some
disposition of the money which had
been paid to him during the after
noon of the day.
The son is now in charge of the
farm in Brighton and he is still hop
ing that the father will be found
alive. 1t is probable, however, that
the departure of the snow will reveal
the body of the old man somewhere
between here and the Brook farm in
Brighton.

STOCKHOLDERS TO CONTROL
Reports Indicate That the G. & M. is
Making Money Under Receiver

Management of the affairs of the
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric Rail
way Company will soon pass into the
hands of the stockholders of the cor
poration, if reports, in railway circles
are true.
For more than two years the bust
ness has been in the hands of "a re-
ceiver and an effort made to get the
company on paying basis. The
claim is made that the road has been
making money, some months last sum-
mer the receipts far overreaching the
expenses of operation.
The facts of the financial tangle
have been paraded in the newspapers
of the country; also how former Presi-
dent Frost was crowded out and Others
who in the first place promoted the
enterprise. Mr.. Frost still has an
Office in Chicago and the belief pre-
walls that sooner or later he will be
in control, but good judges state that
is in the remote distance.
Stockholders, most of them wealthy
Canadians, believe that if they took
over the entire road into their own
hands and elected set of expert rail
way men to the offices that the road
can be made to more than pay the
interest on the bonds and also the
operating expenses and gradually work
out from the heavy obligations which
handicaps the business.
All talk about the company making
an effort to get line into Racine, has
been denied by men in authority.
They state that would be poor bust
ness judgment, for the Beggs line
makes an excellent feeder to their sys-
TEN.
Many contractors. who have been do
ing work for the railway have not yet
been paid for the same, but have re-
ceived assurances that soon the whole
obligations will be settled and the
road operated under the management
Of the stockholders.

KENOSHA LABORERS TO HELP
Plan Adopted by State Federation of
Labor is Similar to the One Used
in Ohio With Decidedly Interesting
Results.

The Wisconsin State Federation of
Labor is planning a general movement
in all cities of the state where there
are strong union labor organizations,
Ito begin war upon the meat trust, and
to take steps to have a boycott de-
clared by the people of these cities
against meat. The state federation
will begin its fight in Milwaukee and
carry it into all other cities of the
state after a mass meeting is held in
Milwaukee. After strike has been
made at the meat trust it is probable
that strikes will be made against
trusts manufacturing food stuffs and
which have lately reached the highest
price ever known.
1t is the plan of the Wisconsin State
Federation of Labor to persuade the
people to cease eating meat until the
price comes down. 1t is claimed that
recent governmental statistics on the
price of meat showed that retail deal
ers in New York were making a profit
of Is per cent while those of Milwau-
kee were making a profit of 40 per
cent and back of the retail men came
the packers who were taking even
larger percentage of profit.
In Kenosha the prices of meat have.
advanced for some months. Beef,
pork, veal, lamb, mutton, poultry,
bacon and even the price of liver,
have scared until meat now is a lux
ury. The dealers declare that they are
compelled to advance prices because
of the prices demanded by the pack
ing house companies.
In Ohio legislative investigation is
being made and there is a boycott
against meat dealers in many cities
of that state. The legislative commit
tee has declared that the law of sup
ply and demand is not responsible for
the high prices of meat and food
stuffs. The production of hogs, but
ter, eggs and potatoes in the last ten
years has increased faster than the
population and it is claimed that the
present food prices have been brought
about by manipulation.
In five years the production of but
ter in Ohio has increased 1,91S,517
pounds and eggs 100000 dozen.
There were 100000 more hogs raised
in Ohio in 1908 than in 1892 but de-
spite this fact, the price of hogs is
now at the highest point ever reached.
In ten years, the production of wheat
fell off 100000 bushels in Ohio and
corn fell off 100000 bushels. There
were $4,000 less cattle raised in Ohio
in 1908 than in 1899
The Ohio investigators have learned
that before they can investigate the
causes of the present conditions, they
must first make a thorough study of
the economical production and trans
portation of foods. To get the sta
tistics desired for the study, they must
appeal to the federal government and
also the fortyfve other states. Ohio
statistics, while fairly satisfactory SO
far as they relate to acreage and
crops, are silent in regard to idle
labor.
The Ohio state departments will be
called on for figures relative to labor
and wages in food manufactures, trans
portation charges from the western
packing centers, most of which have
undergone great change in recent
years, express charges for milk, but
ter, and eggs, as well as farm pro-
duce.
