Gov. McGovern dominates
J. Sholts of Sparta to
Succeed Rickeman
suGDEN WILL ALSO RETIRE

Gov. f. Z. McGovern Friday re-
moved Capt. George E. Rickeman of
Racine as state fish and game warden
when he sent to the senate the name
of John A. Shots of Sparta. The NOM
nation was confirmed by the senate
and the new warden will 60 to Madi-
son and prepare to take over the Office.
The removal of Capt. Rickeman was
not surprise as it was the belief of
all who know Gov. McGovern that he
would appoint one of his lieutenants to
the important position. The governor
has machine to build up and he is
doing it. There were some who believ-
ed that Gov. McGovern would permit
Capt. Rickeman to serve out his term,
which expires in June, but those who
were on the inside knew that the gov
ernor would remove Capt. Rickeman
as soon as he had decided whom he
wanted for the position and Friday
he selected John A. Sholts of Sparta.
Capt Rickeman has made the most
efficient game warden the state ever
had and it was because of that eff
cheney that people throughout the
state urged Gov. McGovern to reap
point Capt. Rickeman Hundreds of
letters were sent the governor endors-
ing Capt. Rickeman s administration
and urging his reappointment. The
answers received were brief, blunt and
not encouraging. Then William Kesse
of Racine became an applicant for
the position and he received strong en-
couragement from William Essman
who managed McGovern s campaign
and from others but the Racine man
was turned down.
]. Fred Sugden of Racine who has
been chief deputy game warden and to
whom much credit is due for the sue
cess of the department., could retain
his position. if he so desired but he
will resign when Capt. Rickeman steps
out and will accept lucrative posi-
tion in Racine.

Economy and efficiency are great
words nowadays, They are good
words too, but it is possible to over,
work them. The question is never how
much you can save, but always how
much you can gain. There is always
a point where the effort to prevent
waste becomes mere waste itself. Not
infrequently that point is soon reach.
ed. -
The American carpenter s waste of
material, for example, shocks Euro.
pean. Instead of piecing together
three three-foot scantling to get nine
feet, he saws foot off a ten-foot
length and throws away the remnant
He might save considerable lumber
but the time he used in doing it, at
fifty cents an hour, would cost more
than the. lumber; and If you reduced
his wages so that his time cost less
than the lumber, would that be any
oOCiUl san Lie IdIEOduS COulQ maui
freight at about half the present rates
and make a profit if they handled all
freight i'll the same way they do soft
coal; but what would be the value of
twenty million tons of fruit and vege.
tables year if handled in coal cars
on coal-train time-schedules?
There is a sort of waste that is the
highest kind of eficieney-wastine
the less valuable thing in order TO save
the more valuable. Our carpenter Is
scrap-heap is bigger than the Hungar-
ian S but his children are better off
There is no virtue in the economy that
looks only to what may be saved. We
see no reason to believe that sort of
economy is likely to become a preva
lent vice in America, and we are right
glad Of it. The efficient mind easily
reeonciles itself to waste, the correc
tion of which would produce a net
loss.-Saturday Post

ing % to 10 in favor of the local

tertained at an athletic party and
dance, the event proving one Of the
most pleasant ever given at the audi

OUT OF WORK AND DESPONOENT
Pabst Had Shown Signs Of Dementia
and Drank Large Quantity of the
Acid Just After Returning to His
Home on Wednesday Evening.

George j. Pabst, aged Is years and
a well known young man of the city
committed suicide at his home, 261
Lemon street just before eight O'Clock
Wednesday evening when he drank a
large portion of the contents of a two
ounce bottle of carbolic acid. Pabst
never regained consciousness after he
took the acid and although a physician
was summoned he died in great agony
a few minutes after the physician ar
rived. Pabst's wife and little son
were in the house at the time he took
the acid but they could not prevent
his action Pabst had given no warn
ing to his friends that he contemplate
ed suicide but for several days he had
been acting queerly and his friends
and some of his relatives had reached
the conclusion that he was slightly de-
mented.
Pabst had been employed as car
penter at the plant of the Badger
Brass company but since the storm on
last Sunday night he had not been
able to get any work at the plant.
Wednesday morning he left home at
the usual hour but he did not go to
work at the factory. He came home
just before six o'clock Wednesday ev-
ening and on his way home he stopped
at the Lamb drug store and secured
two ounces of carbolic acid explaining
to the druggist that he desired to use
1T for washing purposes. Pabst is al
legged to have had some trouble with
his wife when he reached his home and
after FEW words with the wife he
drew the bottle of acid from his peck
ct and drank the contents. Mrs. Pabst
summoned aid from the neighbors and
DIR. George E. Thompson was hurriedly
called to the home. The unfortunate
man was still alive when the doctor
arrived but he was unconscious and it
was seen that it would be impossible
to save his life. A portion of the acid
was removed from the stomach but
enough had been assimilated to bring
death The remains were turned over
to the coroner but as DR.. Thompson
had been present when Pabst died the
coroner decided that the conditions
did not warrant the holding of an in
quest.
The dead man was a son of Julius
Pabst, formerly alderman of the fourth
ward and he had lived in Kenosha
since childhood. He was a pattern
maker by profession but recently he
had been working as carpenter. He
had been Respondent for some time on
account of the fact that he had great
deal of sickness in his family and it
is thought that worrying over these
troubles had caused him to become
temporarily deranged. He is survived
by his widow and one SON

Kenosha people interested in the
fight that is being made against tuber-
culosis in the state met at the Y. M.
G. A. auditorium on Friday evening to
hear the report of the local committee
on the sale of stamps during the re-
cent holiday crusade. In addition to the
report there was a vesy interesting adj
dress on conditions in Kenosha by
Miss Sarah Ryder, the visiting nurse
who is spending a month here. Miss
Ryder described at length some of the
conditions she had found in the city
and declared that there was a great
need for immediate work to prevent
the spread of tuberculosis among the
foreigners of the city. She told of
visits to several of the tenement hous-
es Of the city where she found people
suffering from various forms Of tuber~
culosis and many of them did not know
anything about the ailment.
Dr. Hoyt E. Dearholt of Milwaukee,
president Of the Wisconsin committee
in the battle against the white plague
was also speaker at the meeting and
he told something of the educational
work that is being done by the State
committee. The work is to be widely
extended this year as result of the
liberal sale of stamps during the holt
day crusade and it is expected that
the educational work will be one of
the big features.
Dr. Dearholt congratulated Kenosha
on the showing it has made in assist
ing in the big movement.

The disclosures following the investi-
cation Of the ice cream business by
the federal authorities should spur the
health officers of the smaller cities to
activity to secure pure ice cream for
their communities and their efforts
should be seconded b. every retail
dealer in the product. The retailers
are interested in the outcome of the
present crusade for their own protec-
ton for while most people like to be-
lieve that the retailers are themselves
deceived in the quality Of the goods
they purchase from the wholesalers
when these goods are proved to be fl
thy, adulterated and unfit for food the
retail business is bound to suffer. The
consumer looks to the retailer to pro-
tect him in the first place and then to
the health department but when he
finds that the dealer has himself been
fooled and the health department has
been caught mapping his only protec-
ton is to cross the article off his list
of food products.

The fling of election expense ac-
counts by the chairmen and secretaries
of the party campaign committees is,
as with individual candidates, to all
intents and purposes merely matter
of form but it is a form which must
be complied with for all that and the
delinquents in Kenosha as in Milwau-
kee are undoubtedly liable under the
law. The failure to file the accounts
being merely an oversight, however,
and there being no intention to evade
the law in any way on the part of any
delinquents, they will probably be
permitted to file the accounts at once
and the whole matter settled without
any action being taken by the district
attorney.

We trust that the contest over the

We trust that the contest over the
Office Of district attorney in this coun-
ty now under way will lead to a most
thorough investigation of the condi-
tions surrounding an election in Ken
osha even if it becomes necessary to
summon grand jury to go into the
whole subject of illegal voting in this
city. We believe that most Of the peo-
pie Of the city have sort Of a hazy
idea that there is some illegal voting
at every election but, if this fight goes
to finish, the extent of the frauds at
election which will be brought out will
surprise most of the easy going peo-
pie of this city or we are very much
mistaken. 1t is all very well to con-
tend that many of the men who voted
fraudulently "did not understand
what they were DOING and that they
were "innocent victims'' but how
about the men "higher up who VIC
timized the voters? Is there any one
in the city innocent enough to believe
that these leaders did not know what
was being done?,
