Police to Aid in Collection of Milk
Dealers Licenses in the City.
The milk dealers licenses under the
city ordinance must be paid by the
first day of May, but up to- this morn
ing not single one Of the dealers
had made an application fer license.
The city clerk has been instructed by
the council to collect licenses Of every
man in the retail milk trade in the
city and he will have the full force of
the police department behind him in
this effort to collect. If the licenses
are not paid for before the first of
May the names of all the offending
milk dealers will be secured and they
will be promptly arrested and prose
cuted under the ordinance. For sew
eral years the milk men have shown q
willingness to overlook the payment of
this fee to the city, but this year the
effort to collect is to be made one that
will bring results. The licenses are
issued in order to give the health de-
partment a chance to keep tab on the
dealers.

UEGORATIONSsET new RECORD
Hall is Resplendent in National Colors
and Hundreds of kenosha People
Join in Merry Dance Until Early
Hours of Morning.

The ceremonies attending the dedi-
cation of the new city hall closed in
a blaze Of glory on Monday evening
when Kenosha officials were the hosts
to the people of the city at the first
dance ever given under the direct aus
pieces of the municipality. 1t was the
official dedication ball given at Ger
mania hall and it was one of the great
est parties ever given in Kenosha. At
the dance all class lines in the city
were wiped out and for five hours
men prominent in all lines of business
together with their wives and daugh-
ters touched shoulders with the work
ing men, 1t was community dance
from every standpoint and it proved
to be one of the most enjoyable parties
ever held in Kenosha. Financially the
dance was a great success and the
money raised at the dance will be
ample to meet all the expenses in
cation of the new city hall.
Germania hall was a riot of pat
riotism for the occasion and the dec
orations of the hall which were de-
signed and put up under the direc-
tions of Mrs. Peter Obertin put every
thing ever seen in the hall in the past
into deep shadow. Thousands of
yards of bunting and festoons were
used in completely hiding the walls
while about the hall had beer arranged
a score of pretty little canopies in red
and white and blue. Over each Of
them was hung a flower basket Of blue
which was filled with red and white
carnations. There were no jarring col
ors in any part of the hall and every
part of. the decorations carried out the
patriotic scheme. The stage at the
east END of the hall which was used
by the musicians was completely hid
den with a wealth of palms and flow
ers. The design of Mrs. Obertin was
decidedly clever and the decorations
of the hall was one of the features
of the big dance.
Music for the dance was furnished
by Schmidt s orchestra of ten pieces
and nearly every dance met with
hearty encore.
All of the officials of the city were
present at the party and Mayor Scholey
headed the receiving line The crowd
came early and stayed late and in ad-
dition to the great crowd of people
from the city scores of visitors came
from Racine and Waukegan and even
Milwaukee sent down a goodly delega-
tion. Refreshments were served in the
dining room during the evening and
this room was decorated in the same
patriotic decorations seen in the main
hail.
TThe committees in charge of the
dance have not as yet been able to
figure out the returns, but nearly $500
worth of tickets were sold before the
doors even opened and the door sale
was unusually large for the evening.

DEDICATION 4 GREAT SUCCESS
thousands Attend Afternoon Ceremon
les While Almost as Many Enjoy
the Hospitality of the City at the
Evening Reception

The formal dedication Of the City
Hall on Saturday afternoon, notwith-
standing the biting winds that blew ov-
er the lake from the east and the abb
sence of music proved to be one of the
most interesting and highly successful
municipal functions ever held in Ken
osna and the people who attended the
dedication ceremonies-and there were
more than $500 of them-will long re-
member the day.
The ceremonies on Saturday after
noon were most like big reunion of
the people of Kenosha. 1t had been
announced in the morning that scores
Of visitors were coming from other cit
les but the visiting delegations were
few and far between and outside Of the
delegation of twenty from Racine head
ed by Mayor Walter S. Goodland and a
few stragglers from Waukegan and Mad
ison the function was one particularly
for Kenosha people. The legislative
train which was to have brought many
members of the legislature from Madi-
son was evidently sidetracked at Mil
waUkee but the absence of the out of
town guests did not in any way inter
fere with the people of Kenosha enjoy
ing to tue full the opening of their new
municipal home.
There yet remains one of the most in
teresting features of the dedication and
this evening the officials of the city ex-
pect to entertain great crowd of peo-
pie at Germania Hall when the first
municipal ball in the history Of Ken
osha will be given. Mayor Scholey and
the members of the Common Council
will be on hand to receive and the mu-
nicipal dance will be made one of the
most interesting social gatherings ever
held in Kenosha.
The exercises on Saturday afternoon
were featured by the great interest tax
en- by the people of the city. Thousands
Of them visited the new building and
stood in the chilly air and listened to
the addresses by the officials and other
we'll known citizens of the city
The program was opened with fer
vent prayer by the Rev. George E..
Gormley, Assistant Pastor of st. James
church and following this Frank H. Ly-
man read his very interesting historical
account of Southport and Kenosha.
Then came the formal ceremonies of
turning over the building and these
ceremonies proved decidedly interest
ing. A. 2. Niche of Milwaukee, Gen
eral Manager of the General Construc-
tion company responded for the COM
pany and in turning over the keys to
Alderman James Filben, Chairman of
the Building Committee, Mr. Niche de-
clared that the company had tried to
do its part to give the city Of Kenosha
the best public building in Wisconsin.
He declared that the company had car
ried out its contract to the letter and
that it was proud of the finished work

STILL ON THE TRAIL.
Officials of County Kept Busy Forcing
Gypsies to Get Over the Lines.

The gypsy bands seem to like Keno
sha county and although they were
driven out of the county on Monday
evening the sheriff s Office received
many complaints this morning declar-
ing that the bands were in camp both
north and south of the city and depu-
ties were sent in both directions to
force the bands to move They will
not be allowed to establish a camp in
the roadways any place in Kenosha
county and the deputies have orders
from Sheriff Stahl to give an assurance
that they will not be back tomorrow
None of the gypsies was seen in Keno
sha, today but the police were ordered
to see that every wagon striking the
city was kept moving.

son SHOT FATHE R
Jos. Renik of Pleasant Prai-
RE Wounded by Son as Re-
suit of Sunday Accident
BULLET P|NKED HIS SHOULDER

Joseph Renik, aged AZ years, resid
ing two miles south Of the city on the
Ashland avenue road, was shot and
seriously wounded just after one
o. clock Sunday afternoon by his son,
Edward Renik, aged ten years. Renik
was shot in the right shoulder, the
bullet from a twenty-five calibre. rifle
ploughing it's way into the muscles of
his shoulder. DR.. c. H. Beemer was
called to the house few minutes af
ter the shooting and although he probed
for the bullet he failed to find it. Dr.
Beemer declared today that Renik
would recover, but that it was possible
that his shoulder would be stiff as a
result of the injury.
The Renik boy and a companion
named Erie Wussow, IA years of age,
had been playing about the yard at the
Renik home. The Wussow boy had
brought over the rife and Renik was
aware of the fact that the boys were
playing with the gun. The boys had
been popping away at bottles and cans
for half hour before the accident
took place. Renik was cleaning up
about the yard and stepped directly
in front of the rife when the boy was
shooting at tin can. The bullet went
wild and struck the father. Renik fell
to the ground and blood flowed freely
from the wound in his shoulder.
The boy believing that he had fatally
wounded his father became hysterical
Renik managed to make his way to the
house where he suffered considerably
from the loss of blood. He was very
weak when the physician arrived, but
as soon as the wound had been cared
for he recovered his strength and it
was seen that there was no danger
of the wound resulting fatally.

RIGHTS ARE NOT
THE ONLY RIGHTS WORTH
FIGHTING FOR

For an ignorant and poverty-strick-
EN- race of people, whom freedom sud
denly falls upon without effort upon
their part, to begin a campaign for
the supremacy of political rights with
an intelligent and wealthy people is
as foolish as general who would
undertake to capture the capital OF
a belligerent nation before he con-
quered the forces between his army
and the city besieged There are
other rights worth fighting for, and
many of these rights must necessarily
be captured and exercised before we
pitch the battle in earnest for the full
enjoyment of our political rights
Among these rights might be men
toned the right to possess and enjoy
good and helpful character; the
right to enjoy the respect and con-
fidence of your neighbors; the right
to own property and possess your
part of the worlds wealth; and the
right to be industrious, thrifty and
law-abiding These characteristics
must be developed and well establish
ed before we can secure any perman-
ency in the political equation Of the
community where we live Charac-
ter, wealth and intelligence is the
bedrock upon which you must rest
your fight for your manhood rights
in spite of your conventions, resolu-
tons and the falacies of fool Negro
leaders. We have no desire to be
understood as advising and abandon
ment of any right, political or other
wise, either expressed or implied in
the law, but we do wish to be under
stood as advising that the race cease
to subordinate every other right for
politics and the superficial, until we
develope some capacity for self
government and make some visible
progress along material and tangi-
BILE lines We believe the Negro ought
to vote, but we do not believe that
any Negro or white man should vote
who is not intelligent or honest
enough to use his vote for the highest
good The right to have a good char
acter, become industrious and make
an honest dollar far outranks the
naked right to march to the polls and
put in vote You may hold conven-
tions, resolute and paw, but until
charity begins at home, and you get
character, money and BRAINS, you VIII
always be without your political
rights. Political rights is the
sequence that logically follows the
obtainance and maintenance of these
