SQUANDER|NG COUNTY FUNDS
Stock Growers News Upholds
Misappropriation of County
Money by Officers

Bro. Norby, of the Stock Grow
ers News, in a lengthy article con-
sisting mostly of reprinted matter
from the Bad River News. accuses
US of having bad attack of the
"grouch," and while he admits
that practically everything we
said was true, be believes the Off
GERS of the county and the commits
sioners have been unjustly crit
icised and are performing their
various duties with the same care
full judgment and business sagaci-
ty they would use 10 conducting
their private affairs. We don't
believe that any private parties
would have spent S1 10000 on the
Little Bend Project, nor would
they have spent $S,OOO,OO for an
expert accountant to 90 over their
books to locate $50, 100000 misap-
propriated funds, without making
a strenuous effort to recover at
least a part of it; nor would they
spend $2, 100000 for election print
ing, supplies, ETC., when they
could get the same work done at
one-half the price. You will find,
Bro. Norby, that the crouch of
which you speak, is felt by resi-
dents all over the county, and is
growing in volume till mighty
howl will be heard down at Fort
Pierre demanding a decent and
honest administration of county
affairs. Of course, it is easy to
figure why Bro. Norby does not
want the county officers exposed,
for from them comes the bread
and butter which he eats, and the
owners of the Stock Growers News
wax fat while eating from the
county feed trough. In all pro-
liability, the News has already Sc
cured the order for printing the
election supplies for 1912; no bid
ding, no fuss or feathers, no
chance for honest competition to
enter the field; and yet the News
will try to tell us that the county
officials are on the square"

across the neck at Little Bend
would require cut with bottom
width of about 300 feet, a depth
of water of about 10 feet, with
side slopes made on ratio of one
and one half to one. The channel
would have a length of approxim-
ately two and one-half miles and
at the best location in the divide
the maximum depth would be
about $50 feet. The construction
of the channel would require the
excavation of about 10000. 900
cubic yards of material at a cost
of $40, 100000. The report con-
cludes:
1t is physically practicable to
utilize this power in the irrigation
of approximately "a 900 acres on
the highlands of Hughes and Sui
ly counties, situated about 400
feet above the river level. The
first cost involved in this propos-
ed development is SO great as to
make the project financially i'm
possible. The Fairplay.

Is Patriotism Waning?

Is patriotism on the wane? Are
we losing our respect for the
stars and Stripes" under which
thousands of our forefathers have
fought, bled and died9 Does that
grand old rag mean as much to
you and | AS it did to those who
planted it on Bunker Hill and gave
their lives to free our country
from British rule or those who
perished on the battle field that
our Union might not be cut in
twain? We believe it does, and
we believe the spirit of patriotism
surges through the veins of the
present generation with as great a
force as it did with the first attack
of the British at Lexington or after
the first gun was fired on Fort
Sumter. But the common people
of the United States are not going
to fight the wars of the rich. If
they want wars, let them fight
themselves. The time is coming
when the working class will not
be pitted against each other that
the rich gluttons may protect their
ill-gotten gains. When the labor
ing man casts aside the overalls
and dons an uniform of blue, to 60
forth into battle, he will know

Efforts Being Made to Form
Congregation Of Swedish
Methodists in Kenosha
Or. NELSON LEADS IN WORK

Kenosha is to have a new church or
ganizatior as the Rev. c. G. Nelson, D,
D. of Evanston and missionary of the
Swedish Methodist church in Wisconsin
has come to Kenosha and has started
the work Of organizing congregation
of the denomination in Kenosha. Meth
odism has always been strong in Ken
osha and at the present time the city
has three Methodist churches including
the Park Avenue, German, and Norweg
ian and Danish churches. For some
time the number of Methodists among
the Swedish people of the city has been
increasing and this fact has caused the
leaders in the denomination to seek
cation in the city. DIR. Nelson who is
one Of the best known Of the teachers
of Swedish Methodism has come to Ken
osha with a view of organizing these
people into congregation which would
be mission of the church in Milwau-
kee for the present. To, this end ser
les of meetings is being held at the
Norwegian Danish church on Bond
street. The services began ON Wednes-
day night and the interest shown in
them gives promise of the organization
of strong congregation in this, city.
Other speakers will be brought to Ken
osha later and DIR. Nelson will give up.
the evangelistic work after this week.
It is expected however, that he will
continue to held the regular Sunday af-
ternoon services for the Kenosha con-
gregation in conjunction with his work
as pastor of the Milwaukee church.

Davidson Quits Office With
out Acting on Application
for Mans Pardon
MAY APPEAL TO new GOV.

Charles Loescher, the Kenosha man
serving a ten year sentence in the
state prison at Waupun will have to
serve for longer period as former
Governor James 0. Davidson went out
of Office Sunday night without taking
any action on the application of the
Kenosha man for a pardon or reduc-
tion of his sentence. The retiring gov
ernor granted but three pardons and
the Kenosha man s name was not in
the list. The friends of Loescher who
had appeared before the Governor
We're hopeful that he would at least
commute the sentence to five years
but the governor took absolutely no
action on the application and if Loes-
cher is to be released from prison be-
fore the end of his term it will be a
matter for future governors of the
state to look into. Under the law the
pardon power rests solely with the
SON6IIOI duu IL governor McNTOV6rQ
is expected to take up the matter it
will be necessary for Loescher to make
a new application. It is probable that
the attorneys for Loescher will now
seek to take the matter before the
State Board of Control and seek to
have Loescher paroled from prison.
This course has been adopted in many
eases but it is declared that the State
Board has not found the parole system
any too satisfactory and it is probable
that no other paroles will be issued
until after a new State Board of Con
troll has been named by the governor.
Loescher has served only little over
a year in prison and the local officials
connected with his conviction are I'M
animous in favoring his being left in
the state institution for at least half
of the time for which he was sentenc-
ed

PROMINENT MEN As SPEAKERS
Rev. Eugene Gehl Acts as POSTMASTER
and Members Of the Clergy in Ken
osha and Other Cities Respond to
Toast&

The members of the Young Men IS
society of ST. George parish gathered
at st. George hall on Monday evening
for their annual New Years banquet
and the event proved to be one of the
most interesting events Of the kind
ever held on the north side of the city.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with national colors and the dinner
was served by well known north side
caterer. The society numbers among
its members many of the best known
young men of the city and the company
about the festal board was decidedly
representative of the members of the
organization. A six course dinner was
served after which the Rev. Eugene
Gehl of ST. Francis, an honorary mem
Der of the organization was introduced
as toastmaster and a number Of well
known members of the clergy from
Kenosha and other cities responded to
toasts. The Rev 3. Elskamp, pastor of
st. George church spoke especially of
the work that had been done by the
society since it's organization and char
acterized it as one of the most valu-
az, allies of the clergy in the work of
the parish. The Rev. George Gornley
assistant pastor of ST. James church
spoke on the subject, 'EThe Work of
the Young Man in the Church" and he
showed the great value of organiza-
tion among the young men of the Cath.
olc faith and what had been accom-
pliShed by them not only in this but
in other parishes. The Rev. Stephen
Hopper of St. Francis gave very
interesting talk on the subject, tsThe
Catholic Man in Politics. and made
strong plea for the young men of the
great organization of Catholicism to
| assert themselves and bring better
conditions in the political world. He
declared that one of the most import
ant functions of the young men of to-
day was to stand together for cleaner
politics and cleaner men in office.
Fred Engel represented the society
and responded with a selection entitled
"Two Roads. i" TIL last speaker of the
evening was Chris c. Giles Of Mil
waukee who was formerly one of the
most active workers in the organiza-
tion and who brought a fraternal
greeting from Milwaukee.
The banquet proved to be one of
the most successful events ever ar
ranged by the young men Of st. George
parish and after the toasts were over
decidedly interesting social hour was
enjoyed by the members and their
guests.

MADE THE DEAF SPEAK.
New Years Brings Back the Of
Prisoner at the Kenosha County Jail.

The coming Of the new year brought
miracle at the Kenosha county Jail
when Edward Wheeler a supposed deaf
and dumb prisoner began to speak and
hear. Wheeler had been picked up by
the police on Saturday afternoon. He
was selling shoe laees on the streets
and had given every one to understand
that he was both deaf and dumb. He
was brought. into court on charge of
vagrancy and kept up the deception ev-
en- after he had been given a days
sentence for vagrancy. At the Jail the
officials could get nothing out Of the
man but early Sunday morning he be-
gan to call loudly for something to eat
and declared that he could hear any
thing that listened like breakfast.
The fellow was turned out today after
serving his three days sentence and it
is probable that he will give Kenosha
wide berth in the future. As an act
or Wheeler had all fakirs seen in Ken
osha in the past played off the board.
