The vote on the sewer question at
the election Tuesday was much more
favorable than the most enthusiastic
advocate of the proposition could have
hoped for. 1t is the first step for
ward towards the greatest public i'm
-provement ever undertaken by the
city and one that promises much for
the future growth and prosperity Of
the city. Reduced to its simplest
terms the proposition is that the city
cannot expand and grow without sew
ers and that trunk sewer is the only
practical plan so far brought out to
give the necessary sewer accommoda-
lions to the outlying sections of the
city. The vote shows that the peo-
pie of all the wards of the city are
progressive and in favor Of growth and
expansion.

stop the JOY Riding.

The insensibility of the joy rider to
everything but the speed craze has
resulted from time to time in passion
ate denuhication and in demands for
restrictive laws and, the punishment OF
reckless drivers.
The temper of the public is indicat-
ed by frequent expressions Of the wish
that these dangerous persons who
should not be at large might be club
bed or dealt with even more effective
Nv Fines are considered wholly In
adequate for their reformation, and
rather in the nature Of license.
The subject calls for the closest at
tention from those who are interested
in the automobile industry and in
rational driving. 1t is foolish to sup
pose that the list of serious and fatal
accidents can go on increasing with
out giving rise to a very determined
movement to eliminate the cause.
Every man who offehds against the
speed laws shares the responsibility
for the harm that is done; every auto
mobile club, every manufacturer should
realize that a warfare is being invited
that mayolead to very burdensome re-
strictive measures.
1t would be good policy for owners
and makers to form a law and order
league for the suppression of the In
dians.-Record Herald

The interest that was taken in the
election is indicated by the size of
the vote east, for the returns show
that everybody voted who had right
Ito and probably few that did not,
but it is rather unusual for the in
terest to continue as, it has after the
Votes are counted and the results de-
termined. Ordinarily everything drops
back into the accustomed rut the day
after the election, but this spring there
is about as much discussion Of the
probable effect Of the campaign on
the future. of the city going ON now
as there was before the votes were
counted. This means that the peo-
pie generally have been stirred up this
year as they never have been before
to take a direct personal interest in
the affairs of their city. It does not
make so much difference which side
many of the men who are now in
vestigating conditions for themselves
for the first time took on the license
question, either, for the interest they
are now taking in the affairs of the
city is bound to result in much good in
the future if it can be kept up. So. far
as the good of the city is concerned,
anything is preferable to the indiffer-
ence hitherto displayed by numbers
of leading citizens who up to this
time have done anything but lead.

There was a case tried in the cir
cult court this week which shows as
plainly as anything could the need Of
reform in the jury system or in the
methods Of procedure in civil cases 50
that the time of the circuit court and
the jury need not be taken up in the
trial of cases where the amount at is
sue does not equal the expenses of the
court for the time consumed in dispos-
ing Of it. The case in question has
already been tried twice and although
the amount involved is only $25 it has
already cost the county hundreds of
dollars aud the end is not yet for I'M
less the parties to the action agree to
settle out of court it may have to be
tried again. 1T would probably be
impossible to limit the right Of appeal
even where the amount is under 800,
but the laws should be changed 30
that majority vote of the jury could
return verdict. The principles of
right and justice involved in these
small cases are as sacred as in larger
ones, but there is something wrong
somewhere when the cost of disposing
of them is so out of proportion to the
amount involved and it does seem as
if a way might be found to handle
them by which the rights of all inter
ested parties might be protected and
yet reduce the cost to the taxpayers
very materially.

SEE NEED OF LEGISLATION
Big Cost 60 County for Trial of Petty
Cases Causes Much Comment

Men who take an interest in the
trial of cases see an immediate demand
for legislation to prevent the bringing
of petty eases into the circuit court.
After spending two days in the trial
of the suit of DR.. J. B. Spalding against
the Kent Motor Car Company in which
the amount claimed was $25 the jury
failed to reach an agreement and the
men in the court room were convinced
that the people of the county would
have been big gamers had they paid
the claim and the costs. The case
was formerly tried in the municipal
court at a cost to the county of about
$50 and the cost of the trial in the
circuit court was more than $40. The
officials are not suggesting just what
course should be taken, but this case
is TO be tried again and it will cost
Kenosha county more than $3.50 to set
tie petty difference of $25 between
the litigants.

Farmers should eat
more oatmeal.

Although the farmer of today is able
TO buy almost anything he wants to
wear or TO eat he isn't paying enough
attention to food values when it comes
TO his own table.
II he has been watching the extern
slve researches and experiments on
the question OF the best human food
for muscle and brain he will heed the
advice from all sides to seat more
Quaker Oats.
Quaker Oats is mentioned because
It is recognized in this country and
Europe as the best of all oatrneals.
Feeding farm hands on Quaker Oats
means getting more work out of them
than If you feed them on anything
else.
For home use It is packed in regular

THE THEATRE AND THE PEOPLE
Richard Burton of the U. of M. Speaks
in Kenosha Thursday Evening

One of the best lectures ever given
in Kenosha was delivered last evening
by Richard Burton at Guild Hall, und-
er the auspices of the Womanis Club.
A large audience assembled to lis
ten to the lecture and from his in
PRODUCTION by Mr.. E. L. Grant I'd the
end of the evening the most intense
interest was manifested.
Prof. Burton spoke of the old Puri-
tan prejudice against the play house,
which, although dying out is still felt
to some extent. He believes the
drama to be the fifth great influence
in human life, the other four being
the church, the school, the home and
the library and showed how important
it is that only clean, wholesome, up
lifting plays be presented in our thea
tiers and spoke of a number of such
which have been successfully given to
the public in the last few years.
He deplores the popularity of the
comic opera and the vaudeville, whose
influence is not for good morally or in
tellectually, but believes that the ma
jority of the people would come to
prefer the higher drama if they could
see it at prices which they could afford.
Prof. Burton is forceful, rapid and
eloquent speaker and sincerely believes
what he breaches. The Woman s Club
is to be congratulated that they were
able to procure this most successful
lecturer.

GIVE McGTvERN $500
Jury in Circuit Court Fixes Price of
Assault at that Amount Wednesday

The jury in the circuit court which
heard the evidence in the personal
damage suit of Bernhard McGivern
against Andrew Tennessen brought in
a sealed verdict late Wednesday night.
The verdict was opened in the court
this morning and it gave MeGivern
damages to the amount of 5000. The
verdict was in the nature of a com
promise, some of the members of the
jury being in favor of giving Meow
ern the full amount demanded while
others insisted on verdict for the
defendant. The amount was finally
reached by ballot. 1t is possible that
the case will be appealed to the high
er court.

Real Estate Truths
Real Estate Is Climbing
in Kenosha

There are very few good high-cTass
pieces of property for sale here. If you
don't believe it try and buy piece that
suits you.
There are about 20 persons in Kenosha
who are willing to buy LOT that, if it
suits them, will pay from $4,000 to
$4,000 or from Sc, 500 to $4,000 for
house and lot, but very few are to be
had.
Most people underestimate the size of
vacant lot. A lot 5Ox15O feet when
vacant looks 80 be about 4Ox1OO feet,
but put a house on the same lot
and it looks to be about 90 x 100 feet.
Compare a vacant lot with lot OF the
same size which has house on it and
see how much larger it looks.
For example, take the lot facing the
park at Prairie Avenue, it is OVER
SO $50 feet as it stands, but it
looks to be about 40 feet wide, put
house on it and it will look like big
lot, it is for sale at $4,000 per front
foot or $4,000.

Government to Send Census
Schedules in Order to Get
Better Line On Products
WILL COVER RURAL ROUTES

A great increase in the accuracy of
the census returns from the farmers,
considerable saving Of the working
time of the farm enumerators, and the
removal Of much Of whatever misap-
prehensions and prejudices may exist
among farmers with regard to the
census are the important results ex-
pected by the United States Census
Bureau to follow the use of the Ad-
vance Farm Schedule, which has
been adopted and will be circulated,
through the rural postmasters, among
the farmers "a short time before the
actual census taking.
The employment of this advance
schedule is distinct innovation in
census methods. 1t is the logical and
practical outcome of the Census Bur
eau's persistent effort for some time
past to give the farmers clear and
comprehensive preliminary knowledge
Of the farm census questions and to
induce them to keep written records
of their farm operations and equip
ment in readiness for the call Of the
enumerators, beginning April Is next.
Four million copies Of the schedule
will be printed and the distribution
of them among farm owners and
tenants will be entrusted to the farm
enumerators soon after they are com
missioned.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
promised the assistance of his depart
ment in the effective distribution Of
the schedules, and he will issue in
structions relative thereto to the rural
postmasters. They will be required
to address and forward to the farmers
receiving mail at their Offices the adj
vance farm schedules supplied them by
the enumerators.
In a note to farmers on the front
page of the schedule, Census Director
DuFand states:
q In accordance with the act of con
gress, the census of the population
and farms in the United States will
begin on April Is, 1910. On or soon
after that date an enumeration will
call at your house for the purpose of
obtaining information concerning your
farm.
"Many of the questions which viii
be asked you concerning the equip
ment and operations of your farm can
not be accurately answered by
you without considerable thought and
the making of careful calculations
or estimates. Therefore, this form
has been sent to you in advance, so
that you may study the questions at
your convenience and have the ans
wers written down before the enum-
orator comes.
you are earnestly requested to
read this form and Instructions care
fully, to write down the answers to
all questions that apply to your farm,
and to keep it until the enumerator
comes. By doing this you can save
yourself much time and contribute
greatly to the success of the agricul-
tural census.
"Besides the information concern
ing your farm, the enumerator will
also ask you the names, ages, and
other facts concerning the members of
your household"

The plan of supplying the foreign
born residents of the city with books
printed in their own languages adopt
ed by the library, long ago passed the
experimental stage and it has proved
great success from every standpoint.
More books in foreign languages are
constantly being added to the shelves
and the foreigners show that they APP
preeiate the efforts of the library to
supply their wants by the use they
are making Of the books. It is not
usual in cities the size of KenGsha to
extent the work of Libraries in this
direction, but it is the aim of the di-
rectors of the library here to supply
every want of every resident of the
city so far as it lies in their power
and the demand forthis class of books
shows that their efforts are appreciat-
ed.

The permission just granted by the
postal department to use the rural
mail boxes at all cross roads for sign
posts solves problem that has vex-
ed the authorities OF every county in
the state for years. Heretofore no
matter how expensive or substantial
sign posts have been erected at the
cross roads they have lasted only a
short time because of the work of van
dals who always made it their business
to tear down and destroy them, but
now that these signs are to be placed
on a mail box they will be in way
government property and under the
protection of the government officials.
Uncle Sam has little sympathy for van
dals who destroy his property and the
penalties for defacing OF marring mail
boxes are so severe and so strictly en-
forced that the most reckless vandal
will think twice before tampering
with these signs when they appear on
the rural mail boxes.

PROFESSIONALLY many of the better
element among the saloon men are in
favor Of the proper regulation of the
saloons, the remedying Of the condi-
tiohs complained of by the elimination
of the tough joints and dives which
have been responsible for putting the
business in its most unfavorable light
before the public, and in general of
conducting every saloon in the city
in the, manner calculated to give as
little offense as possible, but it remains
to be seen whether or not they have
influence enough to put their views
into practice. In justice to the sa-
loon men who favor peace and quiet
instead of fighting and turmoil for the
next two years time should be given
them to demonstrate what they pro-
pose to do and how much influence
they propose to exert in their associa-
ton and among their fellows to carry
out the pledges and declarations made
before the election. Customs and
privileges that are the outgrowth of
years are not changed in a day, but
it will be shown in very little while
whether or not the saloon men were
sincere in their promises It is evil
dent that some of the saloon men were
laboring under the delusion that the
election just passed settled the license
question for all time in this city, but
wiser and saner counsels may prevail
after the first flush of victory has
passed

Moving day is at hand and the warn
ing sent out by the Wisconsin Anti
Tuberculosis Association against NOV
ing into a house where there has been
a death from tuberculosis or a case
of the disease, without first ascertain
ing that the proper precautions have
been taken is a timely one and if
needed by all movers will materially
reduce the number Of new cases of
consumption The association states
emphatically that there is no danger
in moving into a house where there
has been case of tuberculosis pro-
vided proper precautions have been
taken, but it urges every family con-
templating a change OF location to as
certain with certainty either that there
has been no consumption where they
propose going or if there has been to
make sure that the home has been
properly cleaned before their coming.
This custom of perfectly healthy per
sons moving into a house alive with
tuberculosis germs has been one of the
most prolific sources Of the spread of
the disease and yet this cause Of the
spread of the disease is one of the
most easily preventable with which the
association has to deal for the cost
of making the new home perfectly safe
and sanitary in this respect is almost
nothing In the case of all eontagi-
Gus diseases which must be reported
to the health department, the physi-
clans in charge or the officials Of the
health department are supposed to
supervise the necessary precautions
against their spread and to make all
safe for any one who may afterward
occupy the apartments of the patient,
but in dealing with consumption the
simplest safeguards are shamefully neg
lected in many instances and one Of
the principal objects of the state wide
campaign of education Of the Anti
tuberculosis Society is to impress the
danger of unrestricted intercourse be-
tween consumptives and healthy per-
sons on the public mind.

LAST OF THE CLIPPERS.

That the last Of the world-famous
Baltimore clippers has gone to the
bottom Of the sea is the meaning OF
the terse wireless message from Dia-
mond Shoal Lightship Tuesday that
the barkentine Good News, Capt.
Peter Eriksson, had foundercd off the
southern coast. Captain Eriksson, OF
Baltimore; his daughter, Miss Eliza
beth Eriksson, and the crew of 10
men were picked up by the British
steamer Metis and landed at Norfolk
Tuesday. The Good News, the last
survivor of the romantic days when the
white-winged clippers Of the ChcSa-
pcakc were the first in with tea from
China, coffee from Brazil or rounded
the Horn with the 49S. had sailed
from Philadelphia May $ and found

were forced to take to the open boats
in turbulent sea. They were tossed
about day and night until the British
steamer MetiS hove in sight and res

Thus was wiped out the late model
OF the ships that sailed 5000 miles to
