hen0Sn2 SGlll mas q cnduce 10 secure
county school for teachers under the
present act of the legislature should
any of the twenty-six counties getting
in their applications for schools before
Kenosha fail to meet all Of the require
ments but should this chance be lost
and this county be shut off temporar-
lily, the leaders of educational work in
the county believe that an opportunity
will be afforded to secure one of these
schools next year at the latest. 1t is
declared that, following the liberal
policy always shown towards educa-
tional institutions in the state of all
kinds, the legislature will amend the
present law at this session and increase
the number of training schools under
it so that every county willing to COM
ply with the conditions laid down in
the law may have the benefits of one
of these schools and increasing the
number of schools is likely to appeal
to the members of the legislature as
the only fair course to take. The state
should not deny to any county the
benefits it gives to a favored few and if
these schools have so much to recon-
mend them, every county in the state
willing to bear its share of the expense
should have The same proportionate as
sistance from the state in maintaining
one of them as every other county. All
should be treated alike and the legis.
lature can safely trust the boards Of
supervisors of the different counties not
TO establish any schools where they are
not needed and where they will not re-
turn value received for the money ex-
pended in the increased efficiency of
the teaching forces of the counties. It
may be found wiser and more econom-
ical for some of the more sparcely set
tied counties of the state to combine
in providing for one of these schools
but the teachers of these counties
should not be shut off from the benefits
Of the training schools because their
counties were not able to make their
arrangements in time to make an ear
" application. If they are it will be
found that the training schools are
shut out of the very places where they
are most needed.

MORE DEPUTIES NAMED.
Sheriff Andrew Stahl Names a Number
Of Deputies from Kenosha Factories.

@&NAASSAAsN
Sheriff Andrew Stahl has fled with
the Clerk of the Circuit court eertif-
Gates of appointment for eight new
deputies for the county. Most of these
men are men employed at watchmen in
the various factories of the city and
it has been customary for them to be
named as deputies to the sheriff with
the understanding that their duties are
limited to work in the plant where they
are employed. Nearly all of these ap-
pointments made by the Sheriff have
been with this understanding The
list of deputies includes Conrad Shear
er, Mat P. ST Joseph Huck, William
Spotzman, Michael p.,caiulewski, John
Riedenbach, John A. Petersen and Hen
ry c. Bohle. The new deputies have
all fled then official oaths and are
now on duty.

DEATH OF NELS JACOBSEN

Nels Jacobsen, aged 70 years, one
of the oldest and best known of the
Danish residents of the city died at his
home on South Oak street this morn
ing after long illness. The deceased
suffered a stroke of paralysis nearly
a year ago and less than week ago
he suffered a second stroke.
s Mr.. Jacobsen was born in Denmark
May s, 1882 and came to Kenosha sew
enteen years ago. He had since resided
here. He was a member of both the
DANA society and the Kenosha chap
ter of the Danish Brotherhood.

The experts have finished the work
Of auditing the books of the state board
of control and have turned in re-
port to the governor in which it is
stated that all of the accounts of the
board are in first class order and that
all receipts and expenditures have
been honestly and correctly reported.
With regard to the diversion of funds
from one account to another in some
of the state institutions where repairs
and improvements have been made, in
regard to which there has been more
or less criticism in some quarters, the
auditors agree with the members of
the board that these transfers of funds
were necessary and that they were
neither illegal nor i'll advised" The
audit has disclosed that the system of
bookkeeping used by the board has
not kept pace with the growth of the
state institutions and more modern
methods of accounting are recommend
ed. In this case as in so many others,
the, only criticisms made are against
the system of bookkeeping for which
the board is not responsible and do not
reflect in the slightest degree against
the honesty or integrity of the mem
bers of the board and it is probable
that the methods of accounting will
now be changed in conformity with
the recommendations of the experts.
The trouble all arises from the fact
that when a system of bookkeeping is
one put in use in any of the state de.
partments, no one has the authority
or will take the responsibility of
changing it and it runs along from wear
to year until its faults are disclosed
by an audit 1t would not be a very
expensive innovation, considering that
these audits are ordered from time to
time and all cost considerable money
when they are made, to keep a travel
ing auditor constantly in the employ
of the state who would be required to
visit each state institution in turn and
work. onits books, making such changes
in the SYSTEMS Of accounting in each
as the growth of the institutions or
changed conditions make necessary.
Such an official would keep the books
up to date in every particular

The average property owner gives up
for his sprinkling tax harder than for
anything else. To pay for sprinkling
in the dead of winter is almost as hard
as to settle for coal bill in August.
Of course the easiest way to collect
this sprinkling tax is the way it is
done now, putting it in with the reg
ular tax receipt, and that is the method
of collection which will probably be
used always, but a whole lot of kick
ing would be saved if way could be
found to let the man who has to pay it
settle when he is getting the benefits
of the work of the sprinklers and when
the heat and dust make him realize
that he is getting somewhat near the
worth of his money.

DEMOCRATS TO BEAR BURDEN
Result of Last General Election Switch
es the Response bility for Getting Out
Vote at the Primary Election This
Year.

The twenty per cent rule by which
dozen candidates for ward Offices
were denied a place on the ticket at
the city election a year ago is not 60
ing to be a DOGGY for the republicans
this year but on the other hand the
responsibility for getting out the vote
at the primary election is switched to
the democracy of the city, Under the
law the candidate whose name goes on
the ticket for the election must Sc
cure at least twenty per cent of the
number of votes cast at the general
election. A year ago the balance was
largely with the republicans Of the
city but the recent victory of demo
cracy has changed things all around
and now the democracy must hustle.
The big vote for democratic candidates
in the general election will make it
necessary for every democratic candi-
date at the city primary to get pro-
portionately large vote or lose a place
on the ticket.
This fact is shown by the report of
City Clerk Harrington prepared this
morning to be used as guide for can
didates in the circulation of petitions
before the primary election. The dem
ocrat who aspires to the office of AS
SCISSOR or Justice of the Peace must
secure not less than AZ nor more than
157 signatures to his petitions the num-
Der being nearly double the number
required year ago. On the other
hand a republican can get his name
on the primary ticket as candidate
for a city Office with a paltry thirty
signers and the limit of his signers is
10l. The social democratic candidates
for city Offices will need but twelve
signatures OH the petitions.
The effect of the election is felt even
more in the wards and in some Of the
strong democratic wards the republ
can candidates for wa-d offices will
need but two signatures on his petit
ton while one name will be sufficient
to place in nomination the socialist
candidates in a majority of the wards
of the city.
The law provides that candidate
shall have not less than 8 per cent nor
more than 10 per cent of the number
of votes cast at the last general cleo
ton and the report of the clerk shows
the following figures in the various
wards. The first column is the three
per cent, the second the ten per cent
and the third the number of votes ne
cessary to make nomination stick
under the twenty per cent law.

Also while the advisabilit,

Also while the ACCESSIBILITY of MAX
ing amendments to the statute under
which the municipal court operates in
this county is being investigated,
few figures on the amount the proposed
changes will add to the expense of
maintaining the court will be welcome.
The reports of the court show that it
is doing very well as it is and in case
the amendments suggested add largely
to the cost of maintenance there will
be good many people in the county
who will favor letting well enough
alone.

1t is reported that the ice harvest is

1t is reported that the ice harvest is
about completed and that large gangs
of the laborers are leaving the county
daily and most people who are familiar
with the conditions in the ice fields,
at any rate those who derive no profits
from the presence of the harvest hands,
will be glad to see them go. The an
nual invasion always presents posi-
bilities of big trouble'' in more ways
one and the authorities are always re-
heved when the harvest is over and
the army of invasion departs.

Reports from all over the col

Reports from all over the county
state that the ice harvest is going for
ward rapidly and that the crop is one
of the best harvested in the history of
the industry in this section. Ice may
be cheaper next summer. The accent
is on the may however, for it will
be remembered that there was record
crop in the county last year and it
will also be remembered that consum-
ers paid record prices for it.

Candidates for nominations at the
spring primary are getting into the
field early this year and this indicates
that the primary election in March
will be the iveliest the city has ever
had in an off year. If all the men who
have announced that they will seek of
flee stick to their declarations, the
voters are going to have a wide lati-
tude in the selection of their candi-
dates.
