BURGLARS STEAL TROPHY.
Ed. Harnler Loses Trophy When Burg
lar Visits His Boarding House.

There are more ways than one of
getting trophies and Ed. Harmer, the
champion motorcycle rider of this city,
has discovered this fact to his sorrow.
Report has been made to the police
that burglars entered the boarding
house of Mrs. John Gasser on Exchange
street and among other rooms entered
was that of Harmer. The burglars
passed over lot of things but they
took the trophies awarded to the Ke-
nosha rider in the recent Buffalo
Chicago run. Harmer was not the
only victim of the burglars as they
visited several other rooms in the
house and got away with jeWelry of
considerable value. 1T is believed that
two men who were at the house earlier
in the evening looking for a room are
the guilty parties. They managed to
get into the house and later on it is
thought that they returned and being
we'll acquainted with the conditions
they had no trouble looting the rooms
and making their getaway. AS yet the
police have not been able to find trace
of the men.

POLICE TO USE BLOODHOUND.
Modern Methods of Thief Chasing to
be Used in Kenosha Department.

Kenosha police are to have modern
methods in the chasing of criminals
and in the future men who seek to
avoid arrest by running will be traced
by a bloodhound Robert w. Allen
has purchased one of the hounds and
ne has placed it at the disposal of the
police, departmental the city. Last
Saturday afternoon Assistant Chief of
Police Herman Schuettler of Chicago
came to Kenosha to try out the Allen
dog and he was enthusiastic over the
results. The Chicago police officer is
deeply interested in hounds as thief
catchers and he declared that the Allen
dog will be a great addition to the
Kenosha force. In the tryout on Sat-
urday local negro agreed to pose as
the criminal for a fair compensation
and he was given two hours start of
the dog. Chief O'Hare, Assistant
Chief Schuettler and other members of
the party followed in automobiles.
The dog traced the negro three miles
and had him in a tree when the officers
arrived and released him. Incidentally
the player victim was deeply impressed
by the showing made by the dog.

There is no incumbent of any office
in the state that the men E'higher up''
cannot get in time if they go after his
place in earnest and most of the men
who hold purely political offices bow
more or less gracefully to the newt
able when their time comes and step
down and out whom an intimation is
given them that their positions are
wanted for some one else. Some of
the office holders who love a fight man
ago To hang ON for a time at the ex-
pense Of considerable worry and money
spent in employing counsel, but in the
end it is always possible to invoke
some rule or regulation, which posi-
bly, they may never have heard of,
to fit their cases and they are ousted.
No man suffers any loss of reputation
either for being dropped from any ap-
pointive political Office for the rules Of
the game are well understood by the
public and it is the natural and Gus
tomary thing for the party in power
to replace all office holders that can
in any way be ousted from their posi-.
tions with it's own henchmen, no mat
ter how many civil rules the legisla7
ture may place on the statute books
of the state. An office holder may be-
removed "for cause" and wax righte-
ously indignant conceiving that his
reputation has been attacked and re-
solve never to get out "under fire.
if he can help it, but the real under
lying cause in ninety-nine cases out
OF every hundred changes is that some
Of the faithful want the job. That is
well understood and most people reeog-
nize the right of the officials in power
to fill positions with their own men.

URBAN GROWTH SETS RECORD
Growth of the County Failed to Keep
Pace With that of the City But it
was Above the Average Growth in
the Rural Districts

The department. of commerce and
labor at Washington this morning gave
out the final figures on the 1910 census
so far as Wisconsin is concerned and
a lot OF important points are now given
out which were not included in the
earlier bulletins sent out by the de-
partment.
The latest bulletin considers the
population of the state and the various
counties from many standpoints and Ke-
nosha county is given a high rating in
the list The city of Kenosha with Gil
increase of SAL is shown to have had
the largest urban increase in popula-
ton during the census period Of ten
years. The rural population of Keno
sha county is shown to have increased
IA per cent in the ten years. The
increase in population IN the county
has in no way kept pace with the in
crease in the city and there are many
counties in the state where the in
crease in the rural districts was large
ly in excess of the increase in this
county,
the report shows that Kenoshay For
est, Price and Sawyer countless were
the only four counties in the state to
have an urban increase of fifty per
cent or over. The rural increase in
Kenosha county was between and
Is per cent.
Among the counties having total
population Of more than 80 people to
the square mile are Kenosha, Racine,
Milwaukee, Sheboygan, Winnebago,
Brown and Lacrosse counties. In the
rural portions of Kenosha county it is
shown that the population to the
square mile is from Is to As people.
It is interesting to note that Keno
sha county's growth both in the city
and in the rural districts is above the
average growth Of the various portions
of the state.

various divisions of the county as cor

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1911.

They might have had a panic III Ber-
lin this fall. There had been specula-
ton and overtrading. Credit was I'M
der a>severe strain. Some eighty mil
lion dollars of treasury notes were
maturing The war clouded political
horizon caused France to draw in her
money, and the amount Of Partisan
funds lying at call in Berlin was estl-
mated at two hundred million dollars.
In some parts of the empire signs OF
uneasiness among bank depositors ap-
peared. The failure Of the Bank OF
Egypt did not help matters.
The gravity of the situation appears
from the fact that in a single week the
Imperial Banli ,st thirty-One million
dollars in its cash reserve. This is a
rather larger loss of cash reserve than
the New York associated banks suf-
fered in October, 1907, when they re-
sorted to clearing house loan certifi-
Gates and restricted cash payments
leading to a wholesale dislocation of
the country's banking system There
was no restric ton Of cash payments at
Berlin, however. On the contrary, in
six business days the Imperial Bank in
creased its loans and discounts by one
hundred and forty-fve million dollars,
and in order to do so increased its note
issue by ore hundred and fifty-four
million dollars.
Thus, Notwithstanding the severe
strain and the large loss of cash, Octo-
Der settlements were met without a
hitch and Berlin paid back to Paris a
hundred and fifty million dollars of
call loans. Ten days later the discount
rate at Berlin had fallen to four per
cent.
al Of which shows how great CEN
trail bank can deal with crisis. What
would have happened here under like
conditions? Perhaps another suspen-
sion of cash payments; another break
down of the banking system; another
six OF eight months of business dol
drums-because we haven't the appara-
tus to meet a crisis. We know we are
rather more liable to fiscal confagra-
tions than any other great nation; but
we rely upon nothing but a volunteer
bucket brigade to put them out Sat
urday Evening Post.

ton to the state game warden

4
ton to the state game warden at
Madison.
Warden Shots said that the reason
the dates of the open season for deer
were not printed on the licenses this
year was that the legislature had not
determined the matter by the time the
licenses We're printed. If the game
warden had waited for the legislature
to definitely decide the dates, which
was matter constantly considered,
the state printer could not get out the
licenses by the time they were needed.
The omission of the dates, the warden
considers to be immaterial as any one
can easily secure a copy of the hunt
ing laws and inform himself thereon.

The Ward and Hermann Bowling
Team from Kenosha journeyed to
Lake Forest on Monday evening where
they defeated the strong Lake Forest
team by a score of 2724 to 24SS The
local team bowled consistent ten pins
and Lake Forest never had chance
after the first game. Knutz pulled off
something unusual in the bowling
game by bowling three games of 1856.
Hermann with 20l and Ebert with
202 had the high scores of the evening.

With the big increase in the number
OF hunters in the field during the
short open season and the high power
rifles they all carry, deer hunting is
becoming more of a sporting PROPOSE
ton every year, one of the pursuits
that is likely soon to be classed by the
insurance companies as extra hazard.
Gus, but Kenosha will send the usual
large delegation to the north woods
this fall. Here's hoping that the luck
holds for all of them and that they all
come back with all the game the law
allows and with whole skins.

PRESIDENT STARTS
 IN LONG JOURNEY
His Swing Around l3.000-MIie Circle Began Friday on
 54th Birthday.
TARIFF AND OTHER ISSUES
Will Be the Principal Subjects of the Presidents Various
 Speeches En Route.

Beverly, Mass.-President Taft left Beverly Friday (his 54th birthday on his second swing around the cir cle." In the opinion of many of his friends the trip promises to be one of the most important ever under taken by chief executive. He him. self has said he will indulge in but little political discussion, but it is ad mitted that opportunity for such dis cussion will not be merely offered, but probably will be thrust upon him. That he would accept the gage of battle if some "heckler' in his au- dience threw il on the pIatfrom is hardly doubted
 That the presidents political for tunes may depend to some extent on his journey is acknowledged by many men close to the administrations.
 On the list for the present journey the president has set down the tar fir and the tariff board" as two subjects for formal addresses.
 His Vetoes of the wool bill, the cot ton bill and the farmers free list bill have not been set aside for separate speeches, but that they will be dealt with in two general addresses is highly probable. The tariff may prove after all the leading topic, although that is not the presidents plan.
 Other subjects 10 be given consid- eratiCn include reciprocity, conserva- tion, the peace treaties. marriage and divorce, the trust problem. finan- cial reform. the Panama canal, reform in judicial procedure, Alaska and the government departments. The presi- dent coatemplates spending most Of his speaking hours in talking of the less political subjects. Doubt that he will be able to follow such a program has been expressed in some quarters already.
 The swing" will be about 13,000 miles in length. Twenty-four states will be visited and in IS the president will speak. In Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa, Missouri, Montana. Idaho. Cali fornia, Oregon. Washington, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin he will spend many of his busiest days. These states are labeled '.insur- gent" by those who keep the political books. New York, Colorado, Wyo- ming, Utah, Illinois and Pennsylvania will not be slighter, but in those states the president will not have to work so hard.
