We believe that the action Of the
county board in making an appropria-
ton for q memorial to the soldiers and
sailors who went from this county to
the war of the rebellion will be APP
proved by the people of the county
generally and we know that the super
visors will join with them i'll the hope
that the arrangements made for the
memorial are entirely satisfactory to
all of the veterans. The record of the
services of each veteran which the com
mittee Of old soldiers appointed by the
board will prepare will become increas-
ingly valuable historically as the
years pass by and source Of unending
pride not DULY to the descendants of
the men whose names and deeds are
preserved ON this honor roll but to
every patriotic citizen Of the county.
The committee in charge of the work
of preparing the memorial recognize
the necessity of having this record az
accurate and complete as it is posi-
BILE to make it and they can be de-
pended upon to carry out the trust i'm
posed on them, in fact much of the
data for the memorial has already been
prepared.

Life insurance is great thing. The
man who assumes the responsibilities
OF family who is dependent upon his
own exertion for their support and who
fails to carry life insurance enough to
safeguard their future is hardly do
ing the fair thing either by them or
by the community in which he lives.
The drift of the companies towards
the rocks of speculation with the poll
cy holders money which was stopped
by the great upheaval of few years
ago was wrong and dangerous The
closer supervision over the business
of the insurance companies exercised
by most of the state is right and
necessary and many of the new laws
passed for the regulation of the bust.
ness OF the companies appear to have
been demanded by the conditions
which they were designed to correct.
All this is true, but the fact remains
that nnder the regulations imposed on
the companies and the restricting of
the manner IN which these investments
may be made has decreased the earn
1ngs OF the companies on the surplus
funds piled up by the policy holders.
The returns to the holders of maturing
policies are not so great as were made
under the old system. In other words
the business is safer, but not so profit.

lection, but they are paying for it.
The greatest evil which followed the
so-ealled exposures in the insurance
business was the cancellation of mil.

The report of the annual audit of
the books of the city covering the fis'
cal year ending April Goth, 1911, was
published on Saturday and the state
ment Of the finances of the city there
presented should be of interest to every
property owner in the city. The most
interesting part of the report to many
will be the tables of statistics showing
inc increases in assessments and taxa
tion in the city in the past three years.
Undoubtedly the figures presented in
the report will be used more or less
as campaign material in the coming
municipal election and the voters Of
the city should make a careful study
of the material contained in the re-
port. 1t is believed that the figures
may bee relied upon as absolutely ac-
curate in every respect.

soUsA STILL KING.
Famous Bandmaster Yields Baton in
Kenosha Concert Saturday Afternoon.

John Philip Sousa is still the king
of all bandmasters and the famous
leader and his famous band gave a
single concert in Kenosaa on Saturday
afternoon at the Rhode Opera House
which was one of the big musical
events of the year. The program was
the same as given at the Auditorium
in Chicago on Sunday evening and the
people of Kenosha showed their appre-
citation by encoring every number.
So generous was the applause accord
ed to the bandmaster and his must
clans that the program was just
doubled. On the program were many
new pieces but the one which most
stirred the people was the "Stars and
Stripes Forever which was played as
an encore in the seco1d part of the
program. The band was assisted in
the concert by Miss Virginia Root,
who sang charningly and Miss Nico-
line Zedeler whose playing of the vio-
lin was delight to the audience.

It was demonstrated Saturday even
ing that it is entirely possible to pull
off a raid in Kenosha without any tips
leaking out in advance and the results
of the raid must come as a rude shock
to some of the people of the city.
There have been rumors afoat for
some time that arrangements" had
been made for the protection of the
disorderly house which suffered in the
raid Of Saturday evening, but it is
quite evident now that whatever ar
rangements were entered into failed to
include the sheriff IS office. The sheriff Is
officers did no more than their sworn
duty in the matter, but they are being
complimented all over the city on the
manner il which it was performed.

Cherokees of Chicago Lose
to Central Football Team
Al to 0 Sunday.
kEHosHA TEAM TOO sTRO1G
Local Players Simply Ran Away With
Lighter Opponents From Chicago and
Game Was Never in Danger-Keno-
sfa Backs Star in Easy Victory.

The Kenosha Centrals simply
slaughtered the Gtherokees Of Chicago
at the football game at Rambler Park
on Sunday afternoon and after four
tlresome quarters the Kenosha players
had rolled up score OF forty-one
points While the redskins from Chioa-
go mad been unable to even get the
ball close to the Kenosha goal. The
visitors were outweighed, out general
ed and there never was time when
they had a chance to get the ball over
the line. The Cherolxees were for the
most part small Indians running down
even to the papooss size and they
had no chance at allSagainst the heavy
and fast Kenosha players. The only
thing that saved the Cherokees from
having a record score made against
them was the fact that the field was
wet and slippery and it was impossi-
bic for the home players to run any
faster than they did. Cleary, Stacy,
Mevers and Rice all starred for Keno
sha and long runs by the backs gave
kenosha seven touchdowns. The backs
went through the Cherokee Ling at
all points and at all stages and the
interference of the visitors was huge
joke.

score follows:
