SPECIAL TAX.
A Plea for the Children and the
Schools.

A Plea for the Children and the
Schools.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Three new elections called
for special tax districts in Robe
son! When l read that in The
Robesonian l said "Hurrah for
Robeson!" | was glad for the
children and proud for Robe
sons future, and what made me
gladden. still was this: One of
these three districts | call mine
and the children mine. for with
them | labored and for them.
How could | help but rejoice if
something better is coming for
them? |
| am concerned for these cleo
tons. that they be carried, one
district in special, but for the
others also since we are all for
Robson and Robeson's chill
dren." | want to have a say to
the voters and what l have to
say shall not be prompted by
any personal motive. | am al
teacher, but when district
votes special tax it will then be
able to employ teachers better
prepared than |. Notwithstand-
ing, | hope for and expect to see
the time when Robson county,
which now leads the State, shall
have special tax or every foot of
her soil.
Mr.. "Holdback" will bitterly
oppose anything for progress.
He lives in every section, as does
his brother. "Tightwad," who
holds the dollar till the eagle
screams. These two men must
oppose special tax. Just let
them oppose and puff and fume
to their hearts content. They
will disgust many doubter, be-
sides it is bad sign when they
are in favor of anything.
1t is the honest doubter we
want to reach. He says, 1--WE
are not able Mr.. D, how much
money do you waste in a year?
Now how much tax do you pay
for schools? Are you able? Il
see," says Mr.. D, but l can't
send to but four months school,. !"
What does child do on a farm
under ten years of age? Ii a man
can't send his smaller children to
school, all the time there is any
school, he should be ashamed to
tell it. When any man has to
live off of the labor of little chill
dren the same man is fit can
didate for charity or a fit candi-
date for the chain gang.
The worst obstacle against
which we must fight is the man
who has no children. O the
selfishness of people! O that
people cared something for their
neighborhood! Because a mar
has no children himself is nc
reason why he should not vote
for schools. Any man is b ne
fitted by anything that ben. tit;
his country. Many men are sci
ling their farms at ten dollars ar
acre and moving to where
there are schools, buying farms
Where the land is no better fol
thirty dollars an acre. The re
suit is that they only have on
third the acres they had, yet man.
men are glad to do it for thei
children's sake. What shall i
profit man? Any sense in that
Why, no; he ought to have bull
the school at home by special ia
and kept all his acres, and le
the other men move into hi
neighborhood to help build u
his old home. One man says h
favors schools but wants to pa
his part by individual subscril
ton. Now | doubt not that
only blind. If any man favo
schools is there any easier, be
ter way than special tax? A.
child can see that it is a light
burden where ten men are pu

VIM. FINLEY Of Cleveland, o., Gets in
Bad in Kenosha and is Arrested

William FINLEY of Cleveland, Ohio,
employed as dock worker was before
Judge Randall in the municipal court
this morning charged with making a
disturbance on the street. FINLEY
was preaching on the street near the
First National bank at the unseemly
hour of 1880 last night and he had no
license as a minister He was picked
up by Police Officer Euting and taken
to the county Jail. He admitted in
court this morning that he had pos
sibly made little noise and that he
had no license as an exhorter. He
declared that he had not been able to
get into drug store last night and
had gone into q. saloon when he took
too many drinks for real preacher
and that this fact was responsible for
his condition Judge Randall assessed
fine of dollar and costs with an al
Sternative of ten days in Jail.

ToURTELorTE GETS DIVORCE
Judge Belden Hands Down Decision
Awards Real Estate to Husband

Henry A. Tourtelotte of the town
of Pleasant Prairie was granted di-
vorce from his wife Belle Tourtelotte
in the circuit court this morning and
in addition was awarded the title to all
the real estate which he had held in
common with his wife to whom he was
married four years ago. Mrs. Tour
telotte did not appear in court nor
was she represented by an attorney
and the decree was practically granted
by default. The grounds alleged were
desertion, Tourtelotte declaring that
his wife had left him two years after
they were married and had shown no
willingness to return. Both of the
parties to the action are widely known
throughout Kenosha county.

The long delayed repairs to the
breakwaters are to he undertaken at
last and the harbor and breakwater
committee of the council is advortis-
ing for bids for the work needed on
ESQ feet of the shore protection.
Should the committee succeed in get
ting satisfactory figures from the con-
tractors it will be possible to complete
the work this summer before the fall
storms set in and it is highly impor-
tant ,hat this is done for in the pres
ent weakened condition of the break
waters any severe strain is almost GER
tain to result in a breach which would
cause heavy damage. The money to
pay for these repairs has been put
in the annual estimate of taxes and
paid in by the taxpayers several times,
but the socalled "credit balaneeO in
the breakwater fund has been mostly
written off in favor of some heavily
overdrawn account at the end of the
year and in the present condition of
the city finances it is hardly probable
that there will be any money on hand
to pay for this work when it is com
pleted and the amount win have to be
taken out Of next years taxes. How
ever, this repair work must be done
If the city is to be saved much heavier
expenses than these repairs will cost
and the money for it will have to be
raised some way. 1t would have been
much more economical to have kept
the breakwaters in good repair all the
time out of the money raised FOR that
purpose, but that is not the way the
city does business.

ROB TREVOR STATION
Robt. Murphy, st. Louis Man,
is Arrested on Charge of
Robbing $500" Depot
HE IS CAUGHT At CAMP LAKE

The depot of the Wisconsin Central
Railway at the village of Trevor in
the town Of Salem was the scene Of
daring robbery just before noon We'd
nesday when a man alleged to be
Robert Murphy of st. Louis made his
way into the station through an open
window and forcing open the cash
drawer managed to get away with
fifteen dollars in money and several
railway tickets. He was not taking
any chances and before he left the
station he arranged the company
stamp and stamped the tickets so that
it would be possible for him to use
them. Later in the day Murphy was
arrested at the Getting Brothers Ho-
tel at Camp Lake by Deputy Sheriff
John Mutz. He was brought to Ke-
nosha Wednesday night and when ques-
toned by the district attorney he
made damaging statements which were
practical admissions of his guilt.
These coupled with the fact that tic
ket to Burlington, Waukesha and Sill.
Yer Lake all bearing the stamp of the
Trevor Office and dated on Wednesday,
were found in the pockets of the man,
leaves little cause for doubt
The station at Trevor is in charge
of agent Samuel Carlson and after the
arrival of the trains at the village
Carlson takes the mail and carries it
to the postof1ce short distance from
the station. He had gone to make his
customary trip on Wednesday when
the robbery took place. He had just
sold to the deputy sheriff some milk
tickets and had received a ten dollar
gold piece in payment for them.
Mutz and several other Trevor men
started out in an effort to capture
Murphy and the first thing that the
deputy sheriff found in the pockets
of the man was the ten dollar gold
piece which he had given the agent
in the morning. When he was being
brought to Kenosha Murphy did good
deal of talking about the robbery of
the station at Antioch which took
place few days ago and when accused
Of having been connected with this
robbery he declared that he had read
the facts in regard to the robbery in
the papers and that at the time he
was in st. Louis.
1t is said that other stations along
the 500 - line have been entered.
The Antioch robbery was the most
serious crime of the series. At that
place the safe Of the company was
blown open and considerable money Sc
cured. Murphy claims to be % years
of age and claims to be stranger
in this part of the country, 1t is
probable that a continuance of the
hearing will be taken by the district
attorney this afternoon in order to
give him a chance to further investi-
gate the identity of Murphy.

DRIVE TRAMPS OUT
Police Having Lots of Trouble on Ac-
count of Influx of Migrants to City

The police are having their own
troubles at present. There is scarcely
a day that from six to dozen vag-
rants and questionable characters are
not driven out of the city. AS rule
many of these characters are picked
up at night and are escorted out of the
city the next morning with the threat
of term in jail if they return.
AS result many burglaries, holdups
and assaults, doubtless have been pre-
vented. Every member of the police
force has been notified to keep a sharp
lookout for questionable characters of
all kinds and to have not the slightest
hesitation in making arrests where
there is appearance that a man can
not give a satisfactory account of his
actions and presence in the city.
Chief of Police O'Hare is of the
opinion that the activity of the police
in Chicago and Milwaukee has driven
this rough element in both directions
toward Kenosha and declares that only
by keeping them moving can the city
be kept comparatively free from crime.

Be COURTEOUS SAYS THE N. W.
Bulletin Service Continues to Lift Plane
Of the Conduct Of Employees

Because railroad officials have come
to realize that, accommodation and
quality of service have much to do with
the amount of patronage which cor
porations receive from the public the
Northwestern railroad in a recent issue
of the Bulletin, the subject of courtesy
and discourtesy towards the public are
treated of at length from the stand
point of agents, trainmen, and officials.
The object of the brief articles on
this general subject is to emphasize the
Importance of treating the travelling
public in the most considerate and
courteous manner possible. Nowadays,
railroad employees who fail to come up
to the eompany's demands along the
above lines are severely disciplined,
and sometimes discharged.

PLAN FOR BIC WORK
Baptists to Start Movement
for Moral and Intellectual
Uplift of Foreigners
WORK WILL COVER WIDE FIELD

A missionary movement of more than
usual interest is to be started In Ke-
nosha on Sunday when the Rev. DR..
Ketman, district secretary of the Bap-
fist Publication Society will come to
Kenosha to inaugurate movement
for the education of the foreign born
people in Kenosha. The work as
planned will be especially among the
Italian and Polish people of the city
and while it will necessarily be of a
sectarian nature it will be on a very
broad plan and it is expected that
great results will be attained in rails
ing the moral and intellectual stand
ard of the people of these nationai-
ties in the city and the surrounding
territory. The plan has been worked
out by the Rev. S. F. Dimmock, pas
tor of the Baptist church here and
he has the full support of the board of
trustees Of the church. The move.
ment is to be continued for an in
definite time and the detailed plans
for the work will be arranged at the
meeting at the Baptist church on Sun
day evening at which Dr. Ketman Will
be the speaker. The expenses of the
work will be largely if not entirely
paid by the Baptist Publication Socie
ty. 1t is planned to have weekly
meetings for the various nationalities
at which speakers will address the peo-
pie in the language of the native land
and make an effort to bring to them
a better realization of the government
and the customs of the United States.
It is planned to carry this message
of uplift into the homes of the people
and in time it is possible that special
church will be erected for the use OF
the people of these nationalities.
The work of educating the foreign
born people of the city has been tried
by the Y. M. c. A. and by the board
of education and while both Of these
movements have been more or less sue
cessful none of these movements has
been able to reach the great mass of
the people of these nationalities.
They seem to be unwilling or at least
backward in entering the night schools
and up to the present time no plan has
been devised by which the promoters
of these schools have been able to
take the schools to the homes.
The men of the Baptist church who
have worked up the plan are enthusi-
astic over it and they believe that it
will result in great good for the city.

WHITCHER TO RUN FOR SHERIFF
Former Sheriff is Being Groomed to
Seek the Republican Nomination and
He May Have No Opposition at the
Primaries

District Attorney Robert Verne
Baker, who has gained record in the
Office in Kenosha county second to none
in the state, formally announced this
morning that he would be a candidate
10 succeed himself and ne will seek the
nomination at the September primaries
Petitions for the nomination of Mr.
Baker will be sent out within the next
week
In speaking of his candidacy this
morning Mr.. Baker said; CATER look
ing at the matter from many angles
l have decided to be a candidate for
reelection. There are SO many things
that I have planned for the office that
I feel that 1 should seek another term
in order to complete them. / want to
say however, that if am nominated
and elected that this will be the last
time that L will seek the Office,
have given much OF my time in the
past six years to this office and feel
that after two years more Of this sort
of work l shall be forced to give it up
for my private practice
The announcement of Mr.. Baker will
put quietus on the candidacy Of sew
eral young attorneys who had planned
to seek the office as it is regarded as
pretty certain that any man who de-
feats Attorney Baker for the nominal
ton will have to go some. His record
in Office has attracted attention all
over the state and he has strong fol
lowing throughout the county.
Chaotic conditions still rergn in re-
gard to the race for sheriff on the Re
publican ticket and it is reported to-
day that Charles H. Whitcher, former
sheriff and one of the best known men
of the town of Bristol is planning to
enter the race. Mr.. Whitcher refused
to state whether he would or would not
be a. candidate on Thursday, but stated
that he would come to Kenosha within
d week and at that time announce his
plans. His friends declare that he
will be a candidate and say it is pos
sible that he Will have no opposition
for the Republican nomination. 1t is
declared by people who are on the in
side of the political situation in the
county that James Nielsen of Somers
may not run for the Republican nomi-
nation if George Kreuscher seeks the
nomination on the Democratic ticket
and it is said that Kreuscher is wait
ing to see just what steps will be tax
en- by Mayor SchoIey to enter the field.
Some Democrats in the county seem to
be fearful of the work that Scholey
will be able to do in the city and for
this reason they are asking just what
he is going to do before they start
out for the nomination.
Candidates Stahl, Anderson and
Schilz do not seem to have any fear
of the scholey influence and it is de-
clared that they will be in the race to
che finish.
But it is two months before the
time for the petitions to be filed
and lot Of things may happen in that
time
