Only time can tell whether or not
the public service corporations have
really succeeded in sidetracking the
ordinance providing for putting some
of the wires under ground, but the
managers of these same corporations
seem to be pretty well satisfied with
the present status Of the ordinance
and they probably know how powerful
they are in the council and just whom
they can depend. ON in that body. AS
a matter of fact they probably know a
great deal more about that than the
Hpeople ever will for the friends of the
corporations in the councirwill not 90
on record if they can help it and they
seem to be able to run matters in that
body just about as they please. AS is
invariably the case where great public
Improvements are proposed, there are
difficulties in the way Of inaugurating
the work of burying the wires, but they
are not insurmountable or rather thew
ought not to be. Other cities have
succeeded in getting this work under
way and what can be done in other
cities should be possible to do here.
Surely our aldermen are just as devoted
to the interests of the people and Just
as competent to deal with the repre-
sentatives of the corporations as. the
aldermen of those cities which have al
ready started the work Of burying the
wires? The opposition Of the corpora
tions is only natural. It is merely a
matter Of business with them. They
do not propose to invest any more
money in their plants in this city than
they have to and the burying Of wires
| is much more expensive job than most
people have any idea of. As for the
people there is no disposition to deal
unfairly with the corporations or to use
the laws of the state to force them to
make any tremendous. increase in their
investments in Kenosha immediately.
All they want is TO see the work of
putting the wires under ground start
ed and they will be content if only a
little of this work is done every few
years as the necessity FOR it arises.
But most of them believe that it is
time the work was started and the ordi-
nance now under fire appealed to them
as a fair and reasonable attempt to
get a great public improvement under
way without doing any injustice to
anybody. Giving the corporations
four years in which to complete the
improvements in a comparatively small
district is not an arbitrary exercise Of
power in the eyes Of the people and it
will be difficult for them to understand
why the opposition of the corporations,
which is. to be expected, should have
more weight with the council than all
other considerations involved.

The storm has laid waste more than
the orchards and gardens. Our false
summer had tempted the birds to outfy
their usual gradual migration north
ward, and the treacherous return OF
winter must have minated many.
Any one who has heard the note of
bird bereaved of its mate will feel
what this tragedy is, now poignant,
how real, how like our own suffering
through loss. This is the tie that
binds us more than any other, prehaps,
to one another, and to respond to the
heartache of simple creature of the
woods and fields is to touch the deep
est of the mysteries.
We assume that birds and beasts
have no souls. Yet between this
grieving bird and it's mate has existed
relation so personal as to be what
we proudly cali human. The sorrow
Of bereavement cannot exist without
love, and the pain in the note Of the
bird is a sign that in the greatest ex-
perience known to the soul of man
the bird is sharer. To realize this is
to change ones conception of the uni
verse.
In one of the profoundest writings
of De Maupassant he describes the iso-
lation of the soul, the mood in which
the human spirit feels too keenly it's
separateness. Loneliness, the revolt
Of the heart against this inexorable
fact, the hunger of the self for some
response from without self, is perhaps
the strongest emotion we feel. Yet

air and the beasts Of the feld.-Trib-

There are signs everywhere that the
election of a Social Democratic mayor
in Milwaukee has infused new life into
the party all over the state and that
the leaders of the party will make the
most vigorous campaign for state of
fees this fall that they have ever made
in the state. If the Socialists sue
coed in fulfilling their campaign pledges
made in Milwaukee and are able to
so into the state campaign "point-
ing with pride to the record made in
that city they are likely to cast the
heaviest vote ever polled by their
party in Wisconsin and this new ele-
ment of uncertainty in the coming
campaign is already being taken into
account by the leaders of the two old
or parties.

1t will be rather a new experience
for the city attorney to appear in
court on The side of the defense in a
personal injury suit, but if he works
as hard for the city as he used to when
pressing the claims of his clients
against the city and others for per
sonal injuries the interests of the city
will be well looked after. Since all
of the sidewalks of the city were given
such a thorough overhauling there have
been comparatively few of these suits
started against the city, but the new
head of the city IS legal department will
probably get chance to show WHAT
he can do in that line before his term
ends.

PRIDDIS is NAMED.
Appointed By Mayor to Sue
ceed Himself as Police and
Fire Commissioner
NO CHANGE IN BOARD MAKEUP

May Day has brought no change in
the make up of the Kenosha Board OF
Fire and Police Commissioners as
Mayor NJ J. Scholey on Monday night
sent to the common council the ap
pointment of John Priddis as police
and fire commissioner to succeed him
self. The appointment is made for a
term of five years and it began on
May 1. Commissioner Priddis is at
present at Burlington, but he will be
home within the next few days and
will undoubtedly accept the honor con
ferred upon him by the mayor.
Commissioner Priddis is the veteran
of the commission. Administrations
have come and administrations have
gone but he has held his Office as secre-
tary of the commission since the or.
ganization of the commission. He
was first appointed by Mayor Charles
Pfennig at the time of the organiza-
tion of the commission and three years
ago he was re-appointed to the office
by Mayor James German Mayor
Scholey has followed in the footsteps
of these officials in naming him fo1
the third term He will probably re-
main in his Office as secretary of the
commission as there is no member of
the board who has taken such a great
interest and who is as well versed in
the work of the commission as he is.
The commission is now made up of
President 2. G. Simmons, Secretary
John Priddis and Commissioners John
j. English, Joseph Banaszynski and
John Bruins. The law under which
the commission is organized provides
that it shall have at least two Republi-
cans on it with a view of keeping it
non partisan. The prevailing political
party has always had a representation
of the majority of the commission, but
its work has never been Of a political
nature and politics has cut little or no
figure in the work of the commission.
Under the provisions of the city
charter the commission must meet for
organization within the next week
and at that meeting it is probable that
the plans Of the commission will be
outlined for the year. AS there will
be no change in the make up Of the
commission it is not probable that
there will be any change in the policy
laid out by the commission.
The commission during the past year
has taken a strong stand for better
discipline among the members of the
police force and the employees of the
fire department and it is expected that
this policy will be strictly enforced
during the coming year. The de-
mand of the board has resulted in the
officers of both departments insisting
that the men walk decidedly straight
and the demand has in most cases met
with a cheerful compliance from the
men in question.

he should make it his personal business
to see that these additions are made
to the lists of the enumcrators at once.

upon, it was placed as near what was
then the geographical center of the
city as it was possible to get it.
