REPUBLICAN efficiency WILL
Be The TEST.

Delegate Kuhio interviewed in San
Francisco repeats the declaration of
war against Governor Frear. Local
indications of alienation of support on
which the Governor has hitherto de-
pended are numerous. Elements for
merly enthusiastic In their support
of the Governor have become luke
warm and Indifferent But for the
present there is no candidate oppos-
ing the Governor. and until the oppo-
sition centers ON someone its activ-
tiles will not amount to much.
Meanwhile, what of the Republic

Delegate Kuhio says he will oppose
the Republicans If the Governor ia re-
appointed. Such an opposition would
be the most dangerous the party has
ever faced. Kuhio could defeat the
Republicans If he once set about to
do IL.
Under these circumstances there is
just one safeguard for the Republic
cans. while the Executive head and
the Legislative head are fighting 1t

public office

MAY GIVE UP MILK BUSINESS
New Prices Published on Thursday
Fail to Meet With the Sanction of
Producers and They May Decline to
Sign Contracts.


Dairy farmers in Kenosha county
and in fact in all counties of the So
called "Chicago Districts are up in
arms over the new schedule for milk
which was made public on Thursday ev-
ening and it is declared that the farm
ers in some of the territory will aban-
don the business if the amounts to be
paid are not increased and that the
people of the big cities will be forced
to drink black coffee without cream af-
ter the new schedule goes into effect.
The farmer who produces the milk will
under the new schedule which goes in
to effect on April 1st, get an average
of 25s cents a quart for his milk dur
ing the coming summer season. The
same milk will be sold in Chicago and
other cities at rate of eight cents a
quart. The prices to be paid per hun
dred as posted at the various plants of
tha Borden company in the county are
as follows:

The main purpose of the special SEES
sion Of the board Of supervisors which
is called for the 28th of the month is
to prepare some sort of remonstrance
against the rebuilding of the powder
mills at Pleasant Prairie to be present
ed to the legislature with the object
Of helping along the passage Of the
bill now before that body regulating
the manufacture of explosives in the
state but there is nothing in the call
which will prevent the supervisors TAX
ing up other pressing business at that
time. That being the case, if any of
the supervisors believe that there is a
strong demand for the establishment of
an agricultural school in Kenosha
county, the matter Of making an appli-
cation for one should be brought be-
fore the board at that time. Between
now and the date set for the special
session of the board, the supervisors
'can easily ascertain the feeling of the
people Of their towns for or against the
proposition to establish such school
and if it is found that there is sufficient
demand for one to warrant action by
the board, the preliminary step Of MAX
ing the application should be taken at
the special session. A delay in making
an application for one of these schools
until the November session of the board
may make it possible for this county
to secure one, no matter how strong a
sentiment in favor of school develops
between now and that time, for the
supply is limited. The legislature pro-
vided for state aid for ten of the
schools and six of the number have al
ready been awarded. The conductors
of the farmers institutes have undoubt-
edly stirred up much interest in these
schools. during the past winter and it
is probable that more than four other
counties are already figuring on ways
and means of establishing one of them.
No business in connection with this
school other than making an applica-
ton for one need be taken up at this
time.

A movement is on foot in Milwaukee
to form an association of taxpayers for
the purpose of watching and if possible
regulating the management of munich
pal finances and the idea is one that
might well be adopted by every city in
the state The need of some such or
ganization in Kenosha is too apparent
TO call for any argument. AS it is now
the property owners on any street who
have the nerve to fight for their rights
have to submit to all sorts of abuse
and Safeguarding when they submit
their grievances to the council but an
organization including majority of
the taxpayers of the city would be
strong enough to at least get a respect
full hearing.

The present roily condition OF the
water in the city mains is attributed
to the explosion, the explanation given
being that the shock stirred up all OF
the sediment resting on the bottom OF
the lake for miles out from the shore
line. The water certainly has been
dirty and while those cities which have
daily analyses of the water made re-
port that it is healthy enough condl-
tions may be altogether different in
the vicinity of Kenosha and it would
do no harm to boil all the water used
for drinking purpises until it clears
again or is pronounced absolutely safe.

On the showing made in the stats
tics of the carrier service at the local
post office just compiled at the request
of the postmaster general it should not
be a very difficult matter to secure adj
ditional carriers to handle the rapidly
increasing business at this point. The
statistics show that the popular notion
that the carriers have a "snap'' is a
mistaken one and they also show that
the local carriers walk as many miles
in covering their routes, make as many
calls, and carry as many pounds of mail
matter per man as those of any offices
in the country.

You would not think it would be ne
ccssary for the police to issue formal
order to bicycle riders to keep off the
walks now that the streets are in per-
feet condition for their use but some OF
tho riders are apparently determined
to take as a right what has been grant
ed them as favor and the formal no
tiee that the laws against riding on the
walks will be enforced from now on,
has been published To the credit OF
the great majority of the bicycle riders
it may be said that they appreciate the
favor done them in allowing them to
ride to and from their work on the
walks when the streets are impossible
for wheels and are careful not to abuse
it.

SEWER RESOLUTIONS PASSED
Last Act in Securing Funds for Trunk
Sewer Meets With Unanimous APP
prevail of the Council District Or
dinance Read.


The city of Kenosha has abandoned
the fight to validate the contract of
Chris Petersen for the paving of Eliza
beth street from Ashland avenue to
the city limits and at the meeting of
the council on Monday night the coun-
Gil by unanimous vote decided to drop
all litigation, cancel the contract with
Petersen and advertise for new bids
for the paving of the street. The work
of securing a new contract will be
rushed as rapidly as possible and it is
expected this will make possible the
completion of the work by the end of
the present year. The action of the
council was taken without debate. The
decision of Judge Turner in which he
declared the specifications on which
the bids were taken were insufficient,
left but two courses sopen to the coun-
Gil. One was to carry the case to the
supreme court and the other was to ad-
vertise for new bids. Attorney Stewart
had admitted that he believed there
was little chance of winning in the
supreme court and he suggested that
asking for new bids would be the
course of least resistance. It is prob
able that this decision Of the council
viii meet with the sanction of the ma
jority of the property owners and it is
not improbable that the calling for
new bids may result in the property
owners saving some money. If the
history of the paving of Ashland ave-
nue. is repeated the property owners
will have no reason to object on the
delay occasioned by the advertisement
for new bids. The advertisement will
be published this week and the bids
will be opened within the next three
weeks.

Many powder mills have blown up
with greater loss of life, but with less
damage to property than those at
Pleasant Prairie. No previous explo-
sion was so widely felt and did damage
through so extensive an area. 1t was
supposed by those who built and own
cd the plant that it was so far remov-
ed from all habitations except those of
the men who worked in the mills that
if there were to be an eXplosion-and
the possibility of one is. always present
there could be little loss of life or
property. Doubtless their reasoning
would have been sound but for the en-
ormous stocks of dynamite and giant
powder which were stored in this out
of the way hamlet.
Now we have been given striking
lesson of the violence of air waves set
in motion by great explosion, and the
distance they can travel and be felt
The blast at Pleasant Prairie broke
windows in Chicago and filed its peo-
pie with aimless alarm. Consider the
spectacle of the inhabitants of a great
city rushing excitedly to and fro, ask
ing one another what was the matter;
the police, the fire engines, and the am
balances seeking for bomb explosions
that had not happened, for fires that
did not exist, and for injured people
who had not been hurt. The spectacle
had it's amusing features such as there
always are in half-panie stricken
city, but one does not crave their re-
petition.
We have to have the powder and high
explosives of all kinds. Civilization
demands them. The dangers attaching
to their storage and transportation
have been appreciated and laws and
ordinances passed for the protection of
the public. 1t has been thought suffi-
cient to regulate the quantities stored
in populous cities. Apparently we
shall have to go step farther, and re-
gulate the quantities kept in store at
the points of manufacture The dam
age done in Chicago outside the shock
to the nerves of Chicagoans, who have
been, perhaps, little demoralized by
frequent bombs, was trivial, but the
devastation wrought nearer Pleasant
Prairie was great. There is a sad list
OF injured and much destruction of
property.
We cannot compel the powder manu-
facturers to set up their mills and
storeLouses on the uninhabited plains
of the remote west hundreds of miles
from civilization, but we can prevent
such an accumulation of explosives as
that which rent the air at Pleasant
Prairie, and startled far distant cities
from their composure.- Tribune

An examination of the prices shows
that the farmer will get just about one
third the amount paid for the milk by
the consumer.
Secretary Greer of the Milk Produe-
ers Union gave out statement today
in which he,>said: "That means thar
the farmer is again to bear the burden
of reduction while the price to the con-
sumner remains the same. It also means
that many of the farmers producing
milk will abandon the business for the
simple reason that it not be a paying
business any longer. There will be an
other scarcity of milk this summer as
a direct result Of this price. It is just
the same scale as was paid last sum-
mer."
In Kenosha county the new scale was
posted on Thursday and as yet but few
of the farmers have signed contracts.
Many complaints are being registered
against the schedule but it is expected
when the time comes that the big ma
jority of the farmers viii sign the con-
tracts and continue to sell the milk to
the Borden and other allied companies.
1t is probable that public meeting of
the Kenosha County Union will be call
ed TO make protest against the sched-
ule but in the past these protests have
rot proved of great value.

AWAIT announcement APRIL |

Employees of the Chicago Milwaukee
Electric Railway company are anxious
ly awaiting April l as on that day w.
@. johnson, operating receiver of the
road, will become the official head over
all departments and as Mr.. Johnson
has declared that the operating expens-
es of the company must be greatly re-
duced, the employees fear that the or
ders to be issued will hit them.
1t was learned today that the motor
mon and conductors employed by the
company feared that the daily wage
scale would be reduced and also that
a less number of cars would be oper-
ated. If this is done not only will the
employees be hard hit when they receive
their pay checks bat several of them
are likely to lose their positions. The
company pays thirty cents an hour to
trainmen. That is a higher scale than
is paid by any interurban line in this
SSCeloh VI 1uO SouAt1 Ou Tie Mill
waukee, Racine and Kenosha line the
minimum scale is twenty-six cents an
hour. While it is not known that the
wages of the trainmen ON the Chicago
Milwaukee line will be reduced, it is
matter which is troubling the en-
ployes. When Mr.. Frost opened up
the line he declared that he not only
had the best electric road in the coun-
try, but he intended to pay the en-
ployes of the company better wages
than they could receive elsewhere for
the same work. 1t is true that train
men on the Chicago Milwaukee road are
not worked as hard nor are their res
possibilities as great as on the Mil
waukee, Racine and Kenosha or other
interurban lines.
Mr.. johnson is busy at Highwood.
making his plans for the cutting down
of expenses in order to make more fay..
orable reports to the court and to the
stock holders and bondholders.

Island Grade to Stand.

The council had the usual argument
ON the grade of Middle street on Wash
ington Island and while a majority of
the members of che council protested
against the grade as recently estab-
lished there was not sufficient mum
Der in favor of the new grade to make
possible the repeal of the grade ordin-
ance passed some time ago and it is
probable that the grade will stand.
However, the council is to have an
other round of argument on the ques-
ton as an ordinance for a change in
the grade will be brought in at the
next meeting of the council.
The council voted to bring an action
against Fred Elk to force him to remove
dirt which he had piled on the orphan
asylum lot. The city has now com
pleted it's tax title to this property
and elaborate plans have been made
for parking it. In order to carry out
these plans considerable money will be
spent. Walks will be built around and
through the new park and trees and
shrubs will be set out. All contracts
