The annual meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Kenosha Country Club
was held at the offices of Cavanagh &
Barnes On Tuesday evening and A. HI.
Lance was elected to succeed Oliver G.
Hutchinson as president of the club
for the coming year. Chester d.
Barnes who has served the club in the
capacity of secretary and treasurer for
a number of years resigned his position
and Morgan Price was elected to this
Office. Charles w. Allen was named as
vice president of the club for the new
year. Oliver G. Hutchinson and Peter
Fisher sent in their designations as
directors of the club and A. III. Lance
and Morgan Price were elected to fill
the vacancies in the directorate. Sew
eral changes were made in the fees of
the club for the year and the cost Of
the family memberships was advanced
from $25 to $35 a year while the cost
of individual memberships for men was
placed at 500 and the individual mem
berships for women were placed at $40.
The fee for locker accommodations was
increased from two to four dollars for
the season. The Board decided to ar
range a series Of fees for nonresident
members and these will be charged at
the rate Of $40 for family memberships
and $15 for individual memberships.
Monthly memberships for non-residents
were arranged for, it being understood
that the monthly fee for families would
be $40 and for individuals $3.50. It
is expected that the charging Of fees to
non-residents will result in the receipts
of the club for the coming year being
considerably larger.

ger. He snapped it twice without fir
ing but at that time the courage of the
victim began to ooze out and he admits
that he feared that the next snap
might result in the revolver going off.
Then the two men went at him and
while he held up his hands they went
through his pockets. The $37 in bills
was IN his trousers pocket. The men
made no effort to secure anything but
money for Rheinhart had a valuable
watch and several other pieces of jew
elry but they were not molested. "Now
you go back where you came from and
keep still' shouted the larger of the
men and at the same time he held the
revolver IN menacing manner. The
victim again obeyed orders and start
ed south along Exchange street while
the two men ran over toward the lake
and disappeared in the darkness. Rhein-
hart lost no time calling the police by
telephone and notifying them of the
robbery. He declares that the men
were well dressed but admits that he
was too frightened by the close prox-
unity of the revolver to take good
look at them, The crime is very sim
liar to other holdups committed in the
city during the past few months and it
looks very much as if the crimes were
the work of local talent. The police
admit that they have no clew to the
identity of the men.

THE LITERARY CROP.

The growing Discrimination to
more intensive method Of cultivating
the literary crop is evident to all OBJ
servers. The idea seems to be spread
ing that all that is necessary to pro-
duce great results Is simply to scratch
the surface. This unfortunate cir
cumstance is one of the most serious
features of the literary situation" In
addition to all this, it is generally
known that for several seasons there
has been a general scarcity Of seed
We mean original literary ideas-over
the whole field. 1t is popularity Of
literary crop-culture that this does
not in any way affect the quantity OF
the product But it affects the quail
ity immensely Summing up, we
should say That the literary situa-
ton" was extremely discouraging to
conservative investors. Unfortunate
iy, the government issues no special
estimates as to this important crop,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. 1t is
therefore impossible to give its pres
emit condition in the usual percentage
form. It liz certainly lucky that the
other crops of the country will be
large enough to keep the balance of
trade from turning heavily against us
this year. II we were forced to rely
on the literary crop for export pur-
poses there is no telling what might
happen.

The holiday shopping season PASSED
this year without the detection of any
organized gang of shoplifters working
in the city although it is probable that
every merchant in the city could tell
tales, if he cared to, of individuals
caught taking goods from counters dur
ing the rush and released with a warn
ing without any notification of the
crime being given the police. 1t is the
fact that so many people whose actions
can be accounted for only on the
grounds of mania are caught at shop
lifting that the merchants have adopted
the policy of silence and it is the ex-
ceptlon when one of these cases gets
into the police courts. 1t is also a fact
that little publicity in these cases
would do away with half of the thefts
SO long as the losses do not run over
certain percentage, however, it is
considered better business policy to
keep quiet but there are limits beyond
which it is not wise to, go in testing
tho forbearance of the merchants. Some
Of the merchants are of the opinion
that this limit has been reached in
certain cases and they are about ready
to move for an entire change Of policy
in handling all shoplifting cases in the
city. 1t would certainly be radical
departure from long established custom
to call in the police in all shopliftine
cases but that may be done and we are
OF the opinion that this course is the
only proper course to take. We never
could understand why merchant
thought himself obliged to tamely sub
nit to being robbed and have had little
sympathy with the policy of covering
up al such cases. The certainty that
no prosecutions would follow detection
has been responsible for the great in
crease in the number Of these thefts
and no one but the merchant can be
held responsible for this feeling

The final figures on the sale OF the
Red Cross seals in Kenosha are not
ready yet and it will be some time be-
fore all Of the returns are made and
checked up but every one interested in
the fight against consumption will be
glad to know that the committee IN
charge of the sale in this city has
every reason to believe that the splen-
did record of last year will be broken
and that there win be funds available
to carry on the campaign. The sale IN
this city may not enable Kenosha to re
tain its position near the head of the
list on per capita sales but if the sales
check up as well as the committee an
ticipate now there will be no reason to
be ashamed Of the record made.

The combination of light snow and
icy walks is bad one and the city
will be lucky to come through this
storm without d damage suit or two.
Of course there is no possible way the
city can guard against accidents under
the conditions but that never seems
to make any difference to the people
who fall and are hurt. They can al
ways find a lawyer who will assure
them that they can collect for their in
1uries and who is willing to take their
case on the chance of getting some
thing out of the city on a contingent
fee basis. The contingent fee as ex-
planned by great lawyer is an ar
rangement whereby the party bringing
the suit gets nothing if he wins and
the lawyer gets nothing if he loses.

The volunteer officers Of the Civil
War retired forty-odd years ago, be-
coming again the plain farmers, law
ycrs, carpenters and merchants that
they had been before their fellow farm
ers and merchants who composed the
great volunteer army, elected them to
be lieutenants, captains and colonies.
The volunteer officers, with very few
exceptions, had no special skill or ex-
perience in military affairs. They had
to learn the job Of soldering exactly
as their old neighbors, the enlisted men,
learned it. What they gave to the
country at the outbreak of the war
was not any special ability to solve the
military problem with which the coun-
try was confronted, but only the same
devotion to the cause which the enlist
ed men gave in equal measure. After
the war officer and private resumed
their old stations in civil life side by
side until, after the lapse of more
than forty years, an attempt has been
made especially to distinguish, honor
and reward the services of the officers
as compared with the enlisted mel.
The bin before Congress to create
Civil War officers retired list and to
place thereon, with pay, surviving vol
unteer officers, is only an attempt to
extend the pension system in decided
ly Objectionable way. 1t proposes to
recognize a distanction between officers
and men that never, in fact, existed.
1t attempts to say-what, in point of
fact, is not true-that the officers as
class have a claim upon the country
whichis distinctly superior to the claim
OF the men as class. 1t introduces
military caste for the purpose of pay
ing pensions when there was no such
caste in fighting the battles. We don It
wonder that many Grand Army men re-
sent it bitterly.-Saturday Post.

HAD A MERRY TINE
Members of Kenosha Lodge
K. of P. Confer Degrees
and Banquet in Racine
STATE LEADERS PRAISE WORK

The members of Red Cross lodge of
the Knights of Pythias took night
off Tuesday evening and went to Ra-
cine to be entertained by the members
of the Racine lodge of the order and
the gathering was one of the most note
worthy gatherings of Pythians ever
held in this section of the state. Dele
cations were present from many lodges
and many of the state officers of the or
der were in attendance. During the
earlier hours of the evening the team
of the Kenosha lodge conferred the
degree of Knight on class of candi-
dates and after the work was over a
banquet was served at which covers
were laid for more than two hundred
members of the order. Short speeches
were made by the state leaders of the
Pythians and the members of the Ken.
osha team were highly praised for the
splendid manner in which they had ex-
emplified the degree work of the or
der. Among the Kenosha Pythians who
spoke at the post prandial exercises
were S. M. Jones, John H. Blair, Con-
rad Shearer, Eric Herth, Charles H.
Ernst and Fred Fisher.
The KenoSha Pythians had a special
car for the trip and they returned tc
Kenosha early this morning They
are high in their praise of the hospi-
tally extended to them in Racine. It
is probable that the members of the
Racine lodge will be the guests of the
Kenosha lodge at an early date.

That the south is making extraor-
binary progress industrially is no
secret. And the census shows that
some states down that way are ex-
panding In population at CORE
spending rate Alabama reports a to-
tai of 2,138,O93, gain of 1879 per
cent, and Florida total of 751,139,
an increase. of AL per cent, during
the ten years from 1900 to 1910. The
number of inhabitants is not large
compared with that in some Of the
greater states, but the growth is ex-
ceptional. And Alabama and Florida

NAMES FOUR DEPUTIES.
Sheriff Stahl Makes First Appointments
of Deputies for the City Tuesday.

Sheriff Andrew +. Stahl made his
first appointments of deputies for the
city on Tuesday afternoon and four of
the deputies have filed their appoint
ments with the Clerk of the Circuit
court and have taken the oath of office.
The list includes Nicholas Fonk who is
to act as Turnkey at the county Jail,
Benjamin F. Stahl who is named as
undersheriff and Frank Senne and Theo-
dore Werve who are named as deputies.
Although the sheriff has named his list
of deputies for the county several days
ago the formal appointments have not
been made and none Of them have fled
their oaths of Office. It is understood
that the list of deputies for the city
will be decidedly short one.

Around. Town

Mr.. Editor:
Your telegram reached me enroute.
! had received your letter while at the
front saying there was sensation IN
town. ! did not realize how serious It
was until | reached South College
avenue It's a sensation all righr-any
fool would know that-then why in the
word did they paint tle name Of it? 1t
looks TO me as if the paint could have
been used to better advantage in hid
ing that 'tauras." Well, | have been
down to Palm Beach to recuperate my
social prestige-rhen when the trouble
in Mexico came on, | fastened to the
'front.'. Those Mexicans are sly folks,
YOU never know what is the next
move. | being a resident OF Newark,
did not have so much trouble. First
they want receiver appointed. then
thev don't, Just according to what you
want. They would have war there in
minute but Isidor Rayner OF Mary and
put his foot down on it.
So | came back and the first thing
| heard was the Notary Pub'ic-they
couldn'r get bond and several other
things | would not dare print-ne,- :
tiier would he, but he will say them. l
tried to quiet him to find out what the
trouble was, and al / could get, NO
.compromise-rope all bought-nevel
wanted sewer" and all such. After l
got home | found that the real trouble
was a cross between The public de
damned" and Run 'em out Of town
As a matter Of fact, don't take either
side. The public is always damned
your experience at Dover very likely
made that plain to you. Then the
other side if you run 'em out OF
town" there would not be enough busi-
ness in town to buy a ce.luloid collar,
The new council is in, hear, and are
meeting every evening, learning how
to be indignant and swear in foreign
tongue. believe they are good mn
and if let alone will do good work. My
prayer is that they may be delivered
from their friends.
It's a fight all right. | guess the
spirit of Cooch's Bridge is more proin-
nent than that OF Appomattox when
