NIDDLE.CLhsS KING.
George Of England Shows Great Ee'
aard Tor Opinion Of Masses.

England, or at any rate, London,
has dubbed George V 1.-The middle
class king This designation is
ment to be complimentary. The
kings ways are democratic and his
interests "prosaic." He invites
"plain people" to dinner; he takes
an interest in housing and town
planning, particularly inquiring in
to the accommodation planned for
the poorest of the inhabitants; he
has visited the post Office and watch
ed the clerks and carriers at their
routine Sports and display have
little attraction for him, and aristo-
cracy fears that he unduly insists
on Responsibility" and bourgeois
morality" His libel suit to estab-
lish the falsity of the bigamy charge
that had been peddled against him
for many years was striking illus
tration of his regard for the opinion
Of average humanity To the
royal "superman" such a charge
would have mattered little.
1t will be recalled that at the time
of the Kings accession many of the
progressives gloonily talked about
this tory utilization and tory sym
pathies." 1t was even said that he
would side with the peers in their
struggle to maintain their political
privileges in spite of advancing
democracy and urgent constitutions
changes. These fears and doubts
appear to have been dispelled. A
''middle-class King" is just the
kind of king Great Brittian needs
today. Such a king will no: stanC
in the way of reforms decreed By
the people. Such king will act
'constitutionally'' and give no en-
courgement to the bourbous in The
upper house.-Chicago Record-Her

War ON LOAN SHARKS.
Bank is Proposed for Rescue OF Boz
EGHeFS.

The people Of Atlanta are now Of
fered definite ard permanent rem
edv for the loan-shark evil. A num-
Der Of BUSH ess-n,inded citizens with
the community S good at heart, have
devised plan whereby wage earners,
when overtaken by emergencies, such
as often befall them, may borrow
small sums at legal rate of interest
and repay the loans in small Install
ments. In it's results, this plan will
be broadly philarthropic, though in
its methods it will be strictly bust
ness like. It will prove source OF
continual good to the city and of
liberal profit TO it's investors.
These two aspects Of the plan are
especially notable-its advantage to
the Atlanta public as we'll as to the
individual in need and the opportu-
nifty it presents in the way of a
sound investment.
The evil that spring from the So
called loan-shark system do not end
with the men and women who are &C
tually victimized but they are visit
ed, in the long run, upon the entire
community. They constitute vital
civic problem that particularly con-
Germs the employer Of labor, the
merchant and business interests at
large. The fact is any condition Of
affairs that Weakens or works an in
justice upon any portion of COM
munity hurts the community as a
whole.
1t, therefore, becomes the public s
duty and public's opportunity to
support this plan to end the abuse
Of the loan-shark system. Atlanta

The Power OF q Word.

Though no one can see the end of
what he says and does, the harvest
times comes some, some where.
Words that the speaker soon for
gets may be like seed sown on good
soil. This proved to be SO with the
words one boy spoke many years
ago. After an outdoor evangelistic
in New York, clean-cut Christian
young man came up TO speaker and
said: Il was one of the worst boys
in New York. One day, a boy who
kept himself clean and who had a
good home, invited me to go with
him to his house. While | was there
his mother asked him to do some
thing, and he answered, Yes mother
dear His reply struck me hard
for | had never spoken to my moth
er in that way. | went home, and
when my mother spoke to me,
said, Yes mother dear All the
members Of the family laughed at
me, for nothing like that had ever
been heard in our home before.
Bnt | made up my mind that l
would go on speaking to my mother
in that way. From that time my
entire life began to improve. And
thus one boys kindness to his moth
er is still bringing forth good fruit
in the life of a man. Words that
spring from a good heart are bound
to bring forth good fruit. The

how TO CURE RHEUMATISM

1T Is An Internal Disease And Re.
quires An Internal Remedy.
The cause Of rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be
formed in excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Liniments WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay the proper treat
ment, and allows the malady to get a
firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
rheumatism than paint will change the
fiber Of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of cases,
1t has effected the most marvellous cures;
we believe it will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the poisons out of the system, tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumaeide strikes the root of the dis.
ease and removes its cause. This SPLEEN
did remedy is sold by druggists and

LOBBY COST s1,o4o.ss.
Local Railway Go. Files Account of
Money Spent Seeking Legislation.

The Kenosha Electric Railway COM
pany has fled with the secretary of
state at Madison statement of the
expenses of the company in lobbying
for legislation during the recent session
of the legislature. The total cost to
the company was $1,o40,36, The prin-
cipal legislation sought by the COM
pany was the passage of the law valid
ating the lighting ordinance of the
company in Kenosha and bill to sub
nit to the referendum franchises turn
ed down by the state railroad com
mission. The former bill was passed
and is now a law, but the other wss re-
ported for indefinite postponement.
The work of the company in the legis,
lature was largely in the hands of At
torney Walter Drew of Madison. No
money was paid to any of the Keno,
sha people who appeared before the
legislature in support of the bills
sought by the railway company. Of
course the city attorney and Mayor
Scholey appeared in favor of the two
bills, but they appeared as officials of
the city and as such they were not
required to file statements as lobbyists.

Complaints are coming in again of
numerous escapes from death or seri-
GUS injury at the Ashland avenue
crossing of the street railway and it
would not take much agitation to have
demand made on the council to have
Prairie avenue declared a boulevard
and all cars required to come to a full
stop before crossing it at this point.
The company has stringent rules and
regulations which are supposed to gov
ern the approach of it's cars to this
crossing, but like all rules they are
not always obeyed. 1t is only a ques-
tiop of time, under the present condi-
tions, when there will be serious ac-
cident at this point which will un
doubtedly be followed by a demand
for more safeguards for the public and
the people who are advocating bring
ing the cars to full stop at this cross
ing hold that it would be better in
every way not to wait until the in
evitable accident comes.

COMPLAIN TO COMMISSION.
Patrons of G & M. Electric Object to
Closed Stations.

Formal complaint will be filed with :
IN few days with the state railway
commission at Madison, against the
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric R. r.
The complaint is signed by several
residents who have occasion to use the
lines of this company between Kenosha
and Chicago. The Offices of the rail-
road company between this city and
Chicago at all the stations along the
line are closed after ten O'Clock in the
evening, thus making it impossible to
purchase tickets on any of the four
cars running on the line after that
hour. AS result all patrons board
ing the cars after ten O'Clock are
obliged to pay extra fares on account
of not having tickets and it is as a
result of this extra fare collection that
the complaint has been arranged. The
railroad commission has already taken
up this matter with the officials of the
electric line, but nothing has been done
to remedy the matter. With the lodg-
ing of formal complaint against the
line, however, it is anticipated that
the question of whether or not extra
fares shall be paid on the lines of the
company in the future will be definite
~ and satisfactorily arranged.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1911-08-24

Patrons of the electric railway lines
who object to paying extra fare at
night hours when the stations are clos
ed and it is impossible for them to
purchase tickets will probably win
their fight when they take the matter
before the state railway commission
as they are preparing to do. 1t is not
probable that the commission will go
so far as to order the railway conf
panies to keep stations open for the
late trains for the traffic would hard
" warrant the extra expense which
such an order would impose on the
companies, but it is certainly an impo-
sition for the companies to collect a
penalty for failure to buy tickets when
there are no tickets for sale. It may
be that under the new extra fare law
passed by the last legislature the COM
panies have no authority to grant any
concessions, but whether an order or a
permission is needed to relieve the
travelling public from this unjust tax.
one should be forthcoming from the
commission.

JOHN H. BRINE AS SUCCESSOR
Mr.. Skiller Gives Up Work After
Being in Employ of the Company
for More Than Twenty-Five Years
No Plans for the Future.

Charles E. skiller for many years
general superintendent of the plant of
the Chicago Kenosha Hosiery company,
has resigned his position and has sever
ed his connection with the plant. John
III. Brine has been named as his success
sor. Mr.. Skiller gave up his desk at
the plant on Monday and is now plan
ming to take a long vacation before
going into another field of labor. He
is interested in the affairs of the
Kenosha Knitting company, but he has
not as yet decided to give his entire
time to the business of that company.
Mr.. Skiller has been considered one
of the fixtures of the hosiery works
and ne has been connected with the
plant for more than twenty-five years.
Back in the eighties when the plant
was located at Rockford Mr.. Skiller
entered the employ of the company
and he worked for a number of years
learning the business from the ground
up. He was advanced to the position
of head mechanic of the company and
in this position made the first models
for the automatic knitting machines
now one of the features of the big
stocking making plant. He was one
of the first of the employees to come
to Kenosha from Rockford and was
active in the planning of the Kenosha
plant when it was first built. Ten
years ago he was made assistant sup
erintendent of the plant and three
years later he was named as general
superintendent. No man in the en-
ploy of the company had more init
mate connection with the business than
did Mr.. Skiller. His retirement came
as a surprise to the employees and to
many of the officials of the corpora
tion. Widely known in the business
it is probable that later Mr.. Skiller
will go into the employ of some other
big corporation engaged in a similar
line of business.
The retirement Of Mr.. Skiller has
made way for the advancement of a
Kenosha boy. John Fl. Brine has been
in the employ of the company for the
past thirteen years and he has won
high place of merit. He started work
in the plant as topper" and ad
vanced rapidly until with the retire
ment of Mr.. Skiller he was regarded
as the logical man to take his place.
The retirement of the superintendent
will not result in any other changes
in the makeup of the force at the big
plant.

TAXI AND Touring CAR COLLIDE

A fortunate collision between taxi
cab driven by Frank Nelson and a
touring car filed with people and driv-
en- by some unknown man, took place
at the corner of Church and Wisconsin
streets just after seven O'Clock We'd
nesday evening, but as no one was in
jured in the accident and the touring
car escaped without being damaged the
man driving it hurried on through the
city without leaving his name. The
touring car was coming east on Wis
consin street and Nelson with his taxi
cab was running south on Church
street. Both had lamps burning and
both were running at low rate of
speed. The taxi was slightly damaged
and it will be in the garage for cou-
pie of days. Nelson escaped without
any injury and there were no passen-
gers in the taxi.

People who have been automobiling
in Europe over the best roads in the
world are coming back to this country
and asserting that the great trouble
in this country so far as roads are con
cerned is that Americans after building
good roads let them deteriorate for
want of care-that on this side of the
Atlantic we do not understand the
necessity of vigilant maintenance of
our roads after they have been built.
A recent writer remarks that in Eu-
rope the roadways are divided into
comparatively short sections, each of
which is controlled by section gang,
provided with supply of broken rock,
gravel, sand. or other road-mending ma
terial, conveniently distributed in piles
along the roadway. Each member of
the gang has his wheelbarrow, pick and
shovel, and as soon as the slightest in
dication of breakdown such as a rut
or hollow is detected, repairs are made
before the damage can proceed any
further. He says that a century of ex-
perlence has proved that this is the only
way in which road can be maintained
always in absolutely frst-class condi-
ton; never was the truth of the old
adage ga stitch in time saves nine''
more strikingly true than in this mat
ter Of the upkeep Of public thorough
fares
So much is the excellence of road
way dependant on maintenance, it is
asserted, that the use Of oil or some
other Of the many excellent binders =
that are now available would make it
possible to maintain many an unim-
proved roadway in as good, if not bet
ter condition than that of the old
eEaper-and-roller highway, which in
yariably went to pieces after the. first
two Or three frosts and rains of the
winter Evening Wisconsin.
