Common knowledge in Ohio.

(Citizens' Bulletin Of C~incinnati.)
The Bulletin is amused at the az
fected surprise OF some people at the
revelations Of the prostitution Of the
ballot that are being made public In
consequence of an investigation that
is now In progress in connection with
a contest over the election of can
didates to the Genera Assembly. What
the investigation is disclosing has been
common knowledge for years. There
IS not a man in Cincinnati with q
thin1bleful OF brains who does not
know that the Cox organization has
been in the minority, SO far as legal
votes go, for the past ten years. On
q square. fair vote. one free from
fraud, it could not today carry a
single ward OF the city. And yet there
are men who affect to be respectable
who accept nominations on a ticket
that can only be elected" by methods
that shock the moral conscience.

claim that they agreed to take care
of only the natural waters of the
creek, that the water from the mills is
not a part Of the regular flow Of the
creek and that therefore the bass com
pany should pay them for taking care
OF it while the sewer building is in
progress. Technically they may have
some basis on which to base their claim
owing to the wording of the specifca-
tions and to the fact that in the con-
tract it was not specifically provided,
as it should have been, that the water
from the mills was to he considered
part of the regular water of the creek.
But it is difficult to see on what
ground they would have any moral
right to claim anything from the brass
company. AS stated above this water
from the mills has been 1.Aning
through this creek to the advantage of
the city since 1907. It was running
there when the estimates on the cost
of the sewer were first made and it
was running there when the companies
bidding FOR this sewer contract made
their own estimates of the cost of TAX
ing care of the waters of the creek
while construction work was in pro-
gress. 1t was included in all of the
estimates and such a thing as making
"a separate agreement with the brass
company to take care of this water
from the mills was never thought of
by most of the aldermen when the con-
tract was under discussion. It was
taken as matter of course that all
the water flowing through the creek at
the time the contract was made and
ON the amount of which the estimates
of cost on this item of the work had
been based in the city's figures would
be considered as the NATURAL flow of
the creek. Some of them may have
thought of the present turn of affairs
and of the possibility of making the
brass company pay for taking care of
this water. 1t looks now as if they
did. Some of the city officials must
have been parties to the plan of max
ing the council collection agency in
the attempt to shake down the brass
company. If not how is it that the
sewer people were so certain that they
could put a resolution through the
council revoking the permit of the
brass company to run this water
through the creek? Tt is true that the
resolution was never introduced, but
| it might have been had not the firm
stand of the officials of the brass com
pany shown that they proposed to fight
any attempt to collect through the
council.

GET A STATE CHARTER
Italian Catholics of Kenosha
Organize an Organization
For Social Benefits
MAY EXTEND TO RACINE LATER

Seeking an uplift of the Italian race
in this city and Eacine the members
of the Roman Catholic church among
the Italians of the city today secured
a state charter frDm the secretary of
state for the organizing of the San
Michele Archangeo Catholic society
which will have it; headquarters in the
rooms above the Pastime Theatre on
Rowland avenue. The society is or
gained without capital stock and while
the headquarters ire to be in Kenosha
the state charter specifically gives the
organization the right to extend it's
workings to Racine and to organize a
branch among the Italians of that city.
The incorporators of the new organiza-
ton are Natalina De Angels. Eugenio
Veno and San Coaforti. According to
the charter the membership in the or
ganization is to bs limited to members
of the Roman Catholic church. There
is no capital stated in the charter and
it is stated that M dividends are to be
paid to any Of tie stockholders. The
members are to be elected by majority
vote. 1T is expected that the new So
ciety will take an important place
among the societies organized by the
Roman Catholics Of Kenosha aud it is
expected that it vii have a very large
membership among the Italian people
It is said that steps leading toward the
establishment of the Racine branch of
the society will be taken at once. The
first meeting of the newly Incorporated
organization will take place on Aug.
80 at which time officers will be elected.

The inspectors of the state dairy and
food commission are starting prosecu-
tions whenever necessary to enforce the
pure food law, but they would much
prefer to secure compliance with the
law without resorting to extreme meas
ures and in this city they have been
remarkably successful. There is a very
general effort on the part of the deal
ers in all kinds Of produce to comply
with the law and the reason is not far
to seek. The people generally have a
very good understanding OF the require
ments of the pure food law and they
are demanding better sanitary condl-
tions in the places where they trade.
They demand cleanliness and any lapses
from the high standard set by the law
are instantly noticed and are followed
by a loss of custom. To the credit of
the great majority. Of the dealers it
may be said that they have been quick
W uObG
which business must now be conducted
and that they have made great effort
to meet the demand for better sanitary
conditions and that any violations of
the pure food law on their part are due
rather to misunderstanding Of the
provisions of the law and It's require
ments than to any deliberate attempt to
evade it. There are, of course, excep-
tions to this rule and they are the ones
which require the attentions of the in
spectors and from the thoroughness
with which the inspection is being car
ried on it is probable that all of them
will, be forced to change their ways or
be forced out of business because of
lack of trade following an exposure in
court of the unsanitary conditions under
which they are conducting their bust
ness.

Police Attempting to Find Some Trace

The police of the city are making an
effort to get some traces of Antonio
Bonofglio, who resides at 961 Garden
street and who has been missing from
his home since last Wednesday even
ing. The missing man is twenty one
years of age, but he appears to be much
younger. He left his home between 6
and o. clock Wednesday evening stat
ing that he was going down town to
do some shopping and since that time
nothing has been seen or heard of him.
Relatives of the missing man fear that
he may have met with foul play. The
man is an Italian and has always borne
good reputation. It is said that he
was not accustomed to frequent saloons
and the relatives can give no reason
for his long absence. The police have
not been able to get any trace CT the

WILL VISIT KENOSHA
State Inspector Will Seek
Better Compliance With
Dairy and Food Laws
PUSHING PURE FOOD CAMPAIGN

William f. Scott, inspector for the
state dairy and food commission, will
pay visit to Kenosha in the near fut-
ure to compel better compliance with
the new dairy and food laws, and par
ticularly of that statute which prohi
bits the display of food and vegetables
on the sidewalks unless covered. Al
though dealers generally are co-operat-
ing to insure cleanliness in this way,
there is still great room for improve
ment. The dairy and food commission
is enforcing its powers Of prosecution
to bring about more ideal condition.
The law requiring the covering of
food supplies on the sidewalks in front
OF a store contains provision exempt
ing vegetables and fruits which have
to be peeled before eating. This provi-
sion is considered unfortunate and the
inspectors point to watermelons piled
on the sidewalk where they are exposed
to street contamination of various
kinds to the certain injury of health.
There is a current belief that at the
next session of the legislature a bill
will be promoted to bar all foodstuffs
from sidewalks.
If dealers would go beyond the letter
of the law and raise their displays
above the level of the sidewalk great
Improvement will have been made, says
Mr.. Scott and everywhere he goes
around the state he is urging dealers to
take this advanced step. In this cam
paign of education for purer foods, the
inspectors are having the aid of many
careful householders who refuse to buy
goods that are exposed on sidewalks.
Copies Of the new dairy and food
laws are being sent out to health boards
and others interested by the thousands
and nothing is being left undone to aid
In a general enforcement of the laws.
