question of terminating the coal strike has finished
but the official returns available until tomor-

federation two thirds majority is necessary to

doubt whether bare majority will suffice for

The point has not arisen heretofore, and which

WANT ARTEsIAN WATER.
Aldermen Being Urged to Consider
Plans for Relaying Old Mains.

With the agitation of the filtration
problem members of the common coun-
Gil are being urged to consider q plan
which would provide for the rebuilding
Of the artesian water system in Keno
sha. This is not the first time that
this plan has been proposed and in
former years city engineers have de-
clared the plan suggested a most inn
practicable one. People now demand
ing the investigation hold that the
city could be assured pure water for
drinking purposes by the building of
en- auxiliary plant. This would de-
mand the digging of new wells and
complete piping of the city and the
cost would probably be considerable
more than the cost of installing fl.
tration plant. Is addition to this
there is grave doubts as to whether or
not the supply Of artesian water would
be sufficient take care of the de-
mands of the city for table and cook
ing water.

D. E. Calender, for some three years
past, general manager of the Racine
Gaslight Company, has been made gen
eral manager of the Wisconsin Gas
and Electric Company, an organization
which was lately formed taking in the
Racine plant and the Kenosha Gas and
Electric Company and the Benosha
Electric Railway Company. Mr.. Cal
lender will now look after the proper
ties of the following concerns; Racine
Gaslight Company, henosha Gas and
Electric Company, Keno8ha Electric
Railway and the Kenosha Central
Heating Company, his headquarters to
be in Racine as in the past. He will
have an assistant in Kenosha, C. D.
Permission, who succeeded r. N. Kim
ball, resigned. Mr.. Calender will not
take active charge of the Kenosha
railway, but the accounting end of the
concern will be looked after in Racine.
This promotion is one indeed that
calls for the warmest congratulations,
and those who are acquainted with
Mr.. Calender will unqualifedly say
that no better man could be picked
for the position. Mr.. Calender is a
Racine boy, and the fact that Racine
has been recognized in the above mat
ter is not only a personal tribute to
him but also to the city of Racine.
"Gene" as he is known to his friends,
has made the study of the lighting and
fuel proposition a most thorough one,
and at all times has taken the broad
gagged view of the subject, viz. the
needs of a growing city and how to
meet the constantly increasing de-
mands. 1t has been his policy, not
to merely keep up with the require
ments, but to anticipate. His ten
years of service with the Racine con-
Germ has indeed been a valuable
training.
Work on the improvements on the
gas plant at Racine is being pushed
forward vigorously and it is believed
by February 18th that ali the gas to
be used in Kenosha will be made in
Racine. The idea is to make it a mod
ern plant throughout, and if arrange
ments can be made with The city fast
coal dock will be installed with
capacity of three hundred tons per
hour.
Overhead conveyors viii be used

age pile to the retort houses.

The diplomancy OF the present adj
minastration has sought to respond
30 modern ideas OF commercial inter

acterized as substituting dollars for
bullets It is one that appeals alike
to ideassstic humanitarian sentiments,

strategy, and to legitimate commercial
aims. II Is an effort frankly directed
to the increase Of American trade up
on the automatic principle that
the government OF the United
States shall extend all proper
support to every legitimate and
beneficial American enterprise abroad.
How great have been the results Of
this diplomacy, coupled with the max
imum and minimum provision Of the
tariff law, will be seen by some con-
sideration of the wonderful increase
in the export trade of the United
States. Because modern diplomacy is
commercial, there has been a disposi

it none but materialistic aims. How
