There may be some joke is connection
with the arrest of an inspector Of the
state railroad commission whose actions
aroused the suspicious of the people
in the western part of the city, but few
people and especially the women who
were frightened into calling the police
will be able to see where it comes in.
Not all the unknown characters prowl-
ing about the city are inspectors by a
good deal and it will do no harm to
have the police look all of them over
whenever they have an opportunity.
The commission probably gets better
results from these secret inspections
than in any other way or they would
not be made, but it would do no harm
20 give the inspectors credentials that
satisfy the people with whom they are
brought into contact in carrying out
their instructions. The object of these
inspections is not likely to be defeated
by having the inspectors work a little
more ia the open, either, for all of the
customers Of any public service cor
pofation would be perfectly willing to
keep the fact of the presence of the
inspectors in a city secret unless the
corporations are more popular in other
cities than they are here.

WAR AGAINST POSTAL CARDS.
Vulgar and Suggestive Postal Cards
Cannot be Mailed.

Frank r. Hitchcock, postmaster gen
eral has issued general order to the
various postmasters in the country to
observe greater strictness in barring
vulgar and suggestive picture postal
cards from the mails.
It is claimed that number of
large concerns in Europe are manu-
featuring such cards. These cards
are to be confscated and sent to the
dead letter Office and the senders
punished.
This order also stipulates that any,
one in the postal service connected in
any way with selling or sending such
cards upon being found guilty win
be dismissed This ruling is directed
principally against the stations
i'll the cities. These stations. are
mostly drug stores, where postal
cards are sold.
Copies of the order have been
mailed to all of the sub stations.
The fight against these suggestive
cards has always been waged by the
postal department. The postal au-
thorities claim they are powerless
to stop the sale of these cards. That
is a matter for the state authorities
to take up.
But when once they are mailed the
postal department. will get after the
sender The merchant who tells pros
pective purchasers that these can
be sent through the mails is just as
liable to punishment as the sender.

An able and admirable woman ex-
presses the wish that teachers in the
United States may rise above a
" bread and butter" attitude toward
their profession. With no invidious in
tention whatever we suggest that the
wisher herself probably rises high
above that attitude by virtue of pos
sessing very comfortable fortune.
The teachers average wage is fifty
dollars a month. An individual teach
or, with fifty dollars in hand, finds
himself or herself completely surround
ed and engulfed, so to speak, in a
bread and butter attitude. The land
lady-an eminently worthy and respect
able person-not only wants hard cash
for board and lodging, but she wants
exactly as much of it from a teacher
as from a burglar.
The teacher, with an innocent desire
to protect her Uranium from the
weather, visits millinery shop. She
finds that perfectly hygienic head
piece can be procured for a dollar and
ten cents, but the one that becomes
her costs six dollars and quarter;
and If she hash t the price the bonnet
goes to the burglars lady. How can
she help thinking bread and butter
when everybody with whom she deals
treats her on strictly bread-and-
butter basis?
Saint Francis, to be sure, gave away
all he possessed-even to his clothes,
Other exceptional individuals have
done the same; but the habit has
never proved even mildly contagious.
and only the very exceptional individ,
ual can persist in it alone.
Perhaps what we need is a big start /:
and if the hall million school-teaehers
were just as willing to work for forty
dollars month as for sixty, because
they could do just as much good to
others, the landladies and milliners
might begin to fall in line, When the
general public, however, that employees
sehool-teachers, is thinking so con
stantly and intently about bread and
butter that it refuses to tax itself
enough to pay them good wages, is
there really much hope that the teach
ers will soar above bread-and butter
attitude9- Saturday Post.

make them particularly good for his

The sting of defeat was not felt by
the Kenosha bunch as Allen put up a
grand fight and deserved almost as
much credit as Allis for the brilliant
golf which marked the close of the
tournament.
Kenosha did not get the lion S share
of the trophies in the meet CHS year,
but at that many of the cups and
medals remained in Kenosha. The
Yule trophy was brought back to the
keeping of the local club and the mem
bers of the team including G. G. Allen,
Gordon Yule, Malcolm Kehlo rand G.
d. Barnes and R. p Cavanagh, each re-
ceived one of the handsome medals for
their victory. c. w. Allen and G. G.
Allen took the Pater-Filius Cup. G.
C. Allen got the runner up cup in the
state championship flight, G. D. Barnes
won the President s Cup and Gordon
Yule and Malcolm Kehlor each got a
medal for getting to the semi finals.
The Kenosha club members however
won high praise from every golfer at
tending the meet and there was great
deal of satisfaction in the expressions
of pleasure left behind by the depart
ing golfers on Saturday night and Sun
day. Without an exception the Wis
itors declared that the tournament had
been the most successful ever held by
the Wisconsin association and the Ke-
nosha committee in charge of the
event were highly complimented
The links proved to be so attractive
to the visitors that many of them re-
manned over Sunday in order to get a
final round
1t was to be regretted that the rain
on Saturday afternoon put an end to
many of the final matches that had been
arranged for, but at that there was
enough golf for all in the four day s
tourney. For those who wanted to see
professional golf the management of
the tournament arranged for a meet
between. eight of the professionals of
the state to mark the close Of the week.
Bob Simpson, the Kenosha professional
won the match but not with ease. In
fact he wen on the last green but there
was pleasure in this fact as the COM
petitor was his brother Jamie Simpson
of the Blue Mound club. The Simpson
brothers played grand golf and they
were just one stroke apart, but this
stroke brought the lion S share of the
purse to the Kenosha champion. The

The postofice department has served
notice that hereafter there will be
more rigid enforcement OF the law
against sending obscene or suggestive
post cards through the mails and that
while the government is powerless to
stop the sale Of these cards the OBJ
ioc5ionable matter will be more rigidly
barred from the mails than ever be-
fore and that an effort will be made
to apprehend and punish the senders.
A constant warfare has been waged to
keep the mails clean Of obscene matter
and any increase an the amount of this
matter appearing in the mails is sure
to be followed by more active cam
paign for its suppression by the post
office officials and the present activity
of the department. is due to the fact
that obscene post cards of foreign man
ufacture have been appearing in the
mails to q considerable extent of late.

CANNOT ANTEDATE VOUCHERS.
Nosaries Public to Lose Commission If
They Continue to Violate the Law.

Complaint was made to Gov. Nc
Govern by Capt. F. II. Magdeburg, pen
sion agent at Milwaukee, against the
frequent practice of notaries in ante
dating vouchers. The law specifically
forbids such an act. The complaint
was directed against Frank I'll. Deni-
son, notary at sheboygan, who dated
July on a voucers effective July 4.
The postnark of the voucher however,
read July ;.
Capt. Magdeburg submitted the mat
ter to Gov. McGovern, and Denison
was served with an order to show
cause why his commission should not
be revoked. He filed an affidavit, stat
ing that he became "mixed up" in
regard to the date, inasmueh as July
p fell on Sunday and July was
holiday
Gov. McGovern notined DeniSon that
his license will not be revoked but any
like transgression will bring to him
revocation. Capt. Magdeburg expects
to send the papers to the United
States commissioner of pensions for
such action as that official may desire
to take.

All Towns Except Randall
Were Represented at High
way Meeting Tuesday
WORKINGS OF LAW EXPLAINED
(From Tuesdays Daily


The fact that the farmers of the
various towns in Kenosha county are
interested in the new highway legisla-
ton of the state was shown this morn
ing when more than twenty town Of
ficials representing every town in the
county with the exception OF the town
Of Randall gathered at the court
house to discuss the new road law.
Martin Torkelsen of Madison, one OF
the representatives Of the state high
way commission, was ON hand to ex-
plain the workings Of the law and when
he left just before noon the officials
of several of the towns were busy
making arrangements to call special
meetings Of the town board to make
possible road tax which would insure
state aid to the county.
Mr.. Torkelsen went into the provi-
sions Of the law at length and told the
town officials just the steps that must
be taken if Kenosha county is to re-
ceive any state aid in highway build
ing. He showed that under the law
any town in the county could claim
state aid provided that tax for high
way work was levied before the first
day of September. Another plan sug-
gested was the calling of special
meeting Of the county board at which
a levy for road purposes could be made
for the entire county. Kenosha is en-
titled to 1920 if this amount is APP
propriated by the towns or any of
them.
The town officials were supplied with
necessary blanks for the calling of
town meetings and if special meetings
are to be called the blanks must be
signed by at least twelve. tax payers
in the towns. The town of Bristol was
the first to get these petitions in cir
culation but it is thought that meetings
will be held in every town in the
county with the possible exception of
explained to the officials that it was
not necessary to use the blanks pro-
vided by the state, but that any sort
of petitions might be used so long as
the state law was followed in the call
ing of the meetings and the provision
for road money made in keeping with
the provisions of the.law
The officials Of the town of }Somers
were very much interested in the ex-
PLANTATION of the workings of the new
law and it is thought certain that
Somers will be one of the first towns
which will seek state aid. 1t was stat
ed that number of the counties in
the state had taken no action to claim
the state money and some of the
counties expect to get largely increas-
ed appropriations by the division of
the surplus fund, This is one of the
possibilities for Kenosha county and
as the percentage Of tax paid in this
county is large a percentage of the
surplus set aside for the county will be
CORRESPONDENCE large. Informal meet
ings Of The town boards will be held
later in the week at which time some
decision will be reached as to lust
what action will be taken.

MANY TROPHIES LEFT HERE
Tournament Ended Saturday Night in
a Blaze Of Glory and Kenosha Com
mittee in Charged is Praised for its
Success.

Ned Allis, the brilliant young golfer
OF the Milwaukee Country club, won
the Wisconsin state golf championship
in the closing round Of the eleventh
annual state tournament played on
the links OF the Kenosha Country club
on Saturday afternoon, defeating G. G..
Allen, the champion of the home club,
by a score of 3 up to play. Allen
lost, but he lost with all honor for the
new champion set a pace for a few, of
the holes in the last round of the tour
ney which would have defeated cham
plon OF champions and it is probable
that it will be a long time before his
records on these holes will be equalled.
Allen also played brilliantly but
against a card such as Allis had for a
part of the last nine holes no goller
in Wisconsin could have put the Mil
waukee boy out.
Allen was two up when the pair
started on the last eighteen holes for
the championship, but his lead which
was increased to three on the very
first hole was very short lived and at
the fifth hole of the second round Allis
had squared the match and from then
on he was never headed. Playing golf
better than Colonel Bogey he was
beating Aliens par and under DOGGY
golf at nearly every hole. Allen had
a bad break at the sixteenth. At this
time he was dormie three, but still had
a chance to win. His chance was les
sened when his ball caught in the sodden
turb of one of the mounds along the
course, but even after this he might
have won the hole but missed put
gave Allis chance for half and the
great match was over.
There is no doubt but that the driv-
ing rain storm which prevailed during
nearly all OF the last eighteen holes of
play gave Allis better chance than
Allen. During the play Allis had been
over running the holes and the rain
slowed up the greens just enough to
