V|NDICATES COW|E
F.G.C owie, Convicted on Con-
spiracy Charge Pardoned
by Gov. McGoyern
DECLARED TO Be INNOCENT

F. G.. Cowie, formerly widely known
in Kenosha on account of his connec-
tion as a detective with the famous
Kenosha arson case which conferred
about the burning of the plant of the
American Bedding Company in Keno
sha nearly twenty years ago and later
convicted on a charge of conspiracy
in the circuit court of Waukesha
county, has at last won a vindication
and on Thursday Governor McGoyern
issued to Cowie a full pardon. In issu-
ing the pardon the governor declared
that he was convinced that Cowie was
innocent Of the charges against him
and that it was pleasure for him as
head executive of the state to do the
greatest thing in his power to remove
the stain placed upon Cow1e For years
Cowie and devoted wife had been
working to establish his innocence and
evidence had been gathered which show
ed conclusively that the verdict of the
iurv which convicted CoWie was wrong.
Cowie laid this great mass of evidence
before the governor only a week ago
and the governor as soon as he had
examined the evidence directed that a
full pardon for Cowie be prepared. Not
only did Cowie present the evidence
that he had gathered himself, but he
had statements from Judge Agnew of
Waukesha who was district attorney at
the time Cowie was convicted and from
Judge Arnlin who was the special prose
cutting attorney in the case, both men
declaring that they were fully convinc-
ed of the innocence of CoWie and re-
GREETING the fact that they had not
been in possession of the full evidence
in the case at the time they had in
sisted on the conviction Of the detec-
tive.
Cowie had many friends in Kenosna
and these people have always held that
the conviction Of the prisoner was a
mistake. Among the congratuatory
message received by Cowie on Friday
on his return to Waukesha were sew
eral from well known men of lIenosha
who had been notified of his pardon
BY kilograms.

PREDICTS BIG VICTORY.
City Atty. Stewart Tells Mil
waukee of Approaching
Landslide for Democracy
SAYS PEOPLE MUST DICTATE

A prophet is not without honor save
in his own country and Calvin Stewart,
city attorney of Kenosha has proven
this fact by coming out in Milwaukee
as the real little prognosticator OF a
Democratic victory in Wisconsin for
next fall. Mr.. Stewart gave his views
of the coming campaign to Milwaukee
papers on Thursday and they are now
being played under scarce heads
Mr.. Stewart said:
"The great care of the party must
be the selection of it's leaders. Men
must be chosen to represent the party
as candidates in whom the rank and
file of the party have confidence. IF
this is not done the election will be
but another Democratic defeat.
~ live III section which, outside
of Kenosha county, is generally con-
sidered strongly Republican, but + can
say this, that all through the First
Congressional district there is a grow
ing Democratic sentiment of very
healthy character. The people even
in this strong Republican district are
ripe for change, but as I say, the
Democratic party must be careful as
to it's leaders and must put men in
the field whom the rank and file of
the people consider in sympathy with
the Democratic sentiments of the day.
The movement must be Democratic to
the core and not a mere movement
which seeks to take advantage of tho
weakness of the opposition.
Mr.. Stewart believes right step is
being taken in starting the Demo-
cratic organization work early. He
declares that he believes also it will
be found that Democratic support will
be found in sources never dreamed
of and that it will be discovered that
the sentiment of support for the Dem
ocratic party will be stronger the COM
year than ever before in the state.

PLAN GREAT SAVING
Change in Payment of PEN
sions to Civil War Veterans
to Effect Big Saving
T0GET. CHECKS NOT VOUCHERS

A saving, estimated at 100000
annually to the pensioners of the
United States and eventually about
$1S0,000 a year to the government is
contemplated by simplfed plan for
the payment of pensions without
vouchers which Commissioner of PEN
sions J. L. Davenport submitted to the
secretary of the interior in his annual
report made public on Sunday.
During the year $15T $50, 160 was
paid as pensions, decrease of $5,49S,-
154 from last year, making the total
amount paid in pensions since the
foundation of the government $780,
3S1,730. There were 55,185 names drop
ped from the roll and 26,200 added,
leaving net loss of 2S,9s5 pensioners.
The total number at the end of the
year was SCOOPS, the smallest since
1892. Methods of economy resulted in
a decrease of the cost of administration
by $140,546, the amount being $2,517,-
127, the lowest since 1882.
Commissioner Davenport's plan
which was devised at the request of
congress, and which will require the
passage of a law, would greatly simpli-
fly the methods of paying pensions, re-
suit in the mailing of pension checks
on the date upon which the pension
falls due, eliminate the cost to the
pensioners in large majority of
cases of the execution of pension
vouchers, which varies from 81 to So
yearly; decrease to a considerable ex-
tent the work in drawing and mailing
Of pension cheeks and eliminate the
sending of 100000 letters yearly
through the mails, saving about $4,000
thereby.
The plan coBtemplates payment di-
rect by checks mailed to the last adj
dress of the pensioner. Besides the in
dorsement on the back of these checks
the government would require certifca-
ton by two witnesses as to identity.
In few instances Commissioner Dav-
export said vouchers would still be re.
CURED.
The number Of soldiers and sailors
ON the pension roll at the close of the
fiscal year was $4,000; dependents and
widows 321,642 and army nurses 4O6.
There were 529,884 survivors OF the
civil war, 35,243 having died during
the year. 1t is believed that only
about 25 per cent of the estimated
2,213,365 individuals in the United
States service during the civil war are
now living, the death rate of the sur
vivors being now slightly in excess of
6 per cent yearly. The average age
Of survivors is now about 20 years.
The last pensioner of the revolu-
tionary war, Mrs. Phoebe NJ. Palmeter,
daughter of Jonathan Wooley, who
served i'll New Hampshire company,
died at Brookfeld, N. Y, April 25,
1911, aged 80 years.

VICTORY AND DEFEAT.
Opening Football Season Sees Kenosha
Teams in Action on Sunday.

Kenosha football teams opened the
1911 season with victory and de-
feat ON Sunday afternoon. Out at
Rambler Park the Kenosha Centrals,
the stnrdiest band of boy players ever
organized in Kenosha defeated the
Waukegan team by score of 10 to 5
and iii Racine the Kenosha Regulars
lost to the Racine Monarchs by a
score of 20 to G. The Waukegan team
was no match for the Centrals and the
local players had the best Of the con-
test from the start and kept the Wau-
kegan players on the defensive all the
time.
In the Racine game the Kenosha
team showed badly the lack of team
practice aud three of the touehdowns
made by the Racine team came from
fumbles made by the Kenosha players.
The Kenosha boys will have to get
down to daily practice if the team is
to be successful during the season.
The Regulars plan to open their season
in Kenosha next Sunday afternoon.

There is no way to kill these roots

way to proceed is to cut the tops off
below the surface and then with the
utmost carefulness hoe off all sprouts

die during the first autumn and will
