~RR DHILE il cannot be denied that
the splendid presentation Of
AAx when Knighthood Was in
w Flower which was given by
the Columbia Players last
week had much to do with the capacity
audiences which greeted every perform
ance, II is also evident the character
Of the play had much to do with the
pleasure of the people that went to see
It.
Whether it be that most Americans,
despite their boa sted democracy. dearly
love lord the fact remains that tales
of "old England romantic as well as
historical, always arouse a latent interest
that seems much out of the ordinary.
It is doubtless this interest that made
ROBIN Hood one of the most persistent
1y successful light operas ever presented,
and wherever when Knighthood Was in
Flower" has been given, and 1t has been
given in many places throughout the
country by stock companies since Julia
Marlowe laid 1t aside as a starring We
hicle. unusual enthusiasm has been
aroused.
Americans love the old English tales
whether told I'm books or in plays and
that is more than half the battle for sue
cess in both.
And that suggests another thought
namely that the success OF the Columbia
Players productions for three years past
has been very largely due to the selection
of the plays by the management. 1t
shows, too, why that success continues
even with changes in the personnel of
the PLAYERS. The players are an impor-
tant factor but so the plays and the
manner In which they are produced as
well.
Reminders that the new theatrical sea-
son is at hand comes in the announce
ment of the opening in the near future
~ the Academy. the Lyceum. the Ma
jestic and the Gayety theaters. The
Lyceum makes a new departure with a
new active manager. a. c. Mayer, for
merry of the Casino, the veteran Manager
Herman remaining in an advisory ca
pacity, while the Majestic will inaugurate
its new season with the Holden Players. a
stock company that has won an excel
lent reputation at the Baker Theater, in

The members of the county board
certainly made their resolution against
the powder company which is to be pre-
scented to the legislature as strong as
they knew how and there is no doubt
but that the resolution reflects the SEN
timents of the great majority of the
people of the county. The people OF
the county, especially those in the vic
Unity of the plant, are afraid that any
attempts to regulate the plant will not
be effective and that the manufacture
and storage Of powder under the SUI
pervision of the state, should that be
decided upon, will be no safer than I'M
der the supervision of the officials of
the company and most people will be
inclined to believe that this view of
the matter is the correct one. 1t is
hardly to be supposed that the state
can show the men in the business of
manufacturing explosives anything
new in the way of precautions or that
the plants are not now and always
have been, safeguarded in every poss-
ible way. The powder men themselves
have learned an expensive lesson and
never again will there be such vast
stocks of explosives accumulated any
whore as went up in the explosion of
March 9th, but that is poor consolation
for the people of the county who are
afraid Of the whole business. There is
no installing the sentiment of the PEG
pie of the county towards the plant
and nothing is likely to change it and
any suggestions that will make the
presentment of their case before the
legislature stronger will be received
and acted upon without delay,

The suggestion that Kenosha county
build new court house made at the
special meeting of the board Of super
visors ON Wednesday afternoon was
merely tentative one and did not
cone before the board in a formal way.
Tt came when the plans for establish
ing training school for teachers and
an agricultural school were under dis
cussion and it was urged that the pres
emf county court house building which
the county has outgrown and which
has well nigh outlived it's usefulness
for the purposes for which it was erect
ed, could be converted into a perfect
home for these two schools at very lit
tie expense and that from $4,000 to
100000 could be saved in this way on
the cost of new court house which
some of the supervisors believe will
have to be erected in the near future
anyway whether or not the new schools
are built. The suggestion that the
county build a new court house was
made i'll a wholly informal way but il
seemed to be very favorably received
by some of the supervisors. The mat
ter cannot come up again in any form
until the November sessions of the
board and in the meantime all of the
supervisors will have plenty Of time tt
talk it over with their constituents anG
see how they feel in regard to it. VIZ
do not believe that there is at this time
any sentiment in favor of the erection
of new court house in the county tt
speak of but the feeling for or agains
the proposition viii have time to solid
ify before November. However til,
court house idea is received by the PEG
pie of the county, the suggestion tina
it may be necessary to erect this new
building in the near future should no
be allowed to interfere with the plan
for the schools. The teachers sehoo
was practically decided upon befor
this court house plan came up and i
the supervisors believe that the peopl
Of the county want an agricultural
school. we should have it too. This coun
ty is rich enough to afford both school
if the people want them and believ
that the benefits from them would b
great enough to Justify the cost Of es
tablishing and maintaining them.

First Report of Officials Tn
der Fee System Shows
City Will Be Gamer
REGISTER OF DEEDS LEADS

The Register of Deeds, County Clerk
and Clerk of the Circuit court have
made out for the county board their
first quarterly reports of the fees earn
ed in the various Offices and these re
ports indicate that the county is going
to make money by the plan Of paying
the officials straight salaries rather
than allowing them to take the fees of
the Office The most interest is shown
in the fees earned in the Office of the
Register of Deeds. This Office is count
ed with being the most paying office in
the gift of the, people of the county,
outside of the judicial Offices and the
office of sheriff The salary of the
Register of Deeds is $3.50 year and
the quarterly report of fees collected
indicates that the Office will earn con-
siderable more than this amount for
the county while the county's expenses
in maintaining the Offices are to be de-
cidedly small.
The first report Of Register Of Deeds
Leo III. Flasch shows that the total re-
ceipts in fees for the quarter was
$550.17 and the expenses chargeable
to the county were $3.50, all of which
was expended for postage. In the Of
fee of the County Clerk the receipts
in fees was $94.15 the largest item in
the report being the amount received
for the issuance of licenses to marry.
There is also a good sized item for the
issuance Of hunting licenses but only
a part of these fees go to the county.
This is the dull season for hunting Ii
censes and it is expected that reports
in other quarters will show large
amount received from the issuance Of
these licenses.
The report of Clerk of the Court De-
Diemar shows that the total fees re-
ceived in his Office during the three
months were $4,000. Of this amount
$63 was received from fees paid for
naturalization papers and the. county
will have to share this with the gov
eminent, the lion s share going to the
government. The fees in all the offices
for the three months are about up to
the average for this time of the year
but it should be taken into considera-
tion that this is the smallest quarter in
the year from the standpoint of fees re-
ceived and it is expected that at least
two of the other periods will show
large increase in the reports of the Of
ficiaIs.
The new scheme to work for a
straight salary and turn the fees into
the county is approved by the officials
but it has met with some criticism by
people who patronize the Offices and
these people have been forced to pay
fees for many little services which in
the past were rendered gratis by the
officials. The county board has, how
ever, declared that all of the fees must
be paid and that the county officials
can play no favorites in enforcing this
rule.
The plan has eliminated the credit
systems for the officials and all fees
must now be paid at the time the SER
vice is rendered by the county officials.
