While Col. Robert Anderson. the
speed secretary OF the West Virginia
Fair Association has not Vet com
pleted the speed program for the Sep
TENDER race meeting. the indications
are that the cary closing events will
be abandoned by this association. The
veteran speed secretary states that
he Is not very much In favor OF these
events which in many instances have
been filled with very small fields.
Then another thing about the early
closing event that mars interest in tho
race is the fact that after the entry

SALOON CASE SETTLED.
Workmen Remove Fixtures from Frabe
Building and Start Rebuilding Today.

The test of the Baker law which had
beer promised OH account of the night
over the Corr and Leinenweoer license,
is probably off as it is reported today
that an agreement has been reached
among all interested parties and that
eventually the Corr and LeinenwebeF
saloon will be located in the Frabe
building. Not the old building, as
this morning workmen began to de-
molish the OLD building and a new
building is to be erected. 1t is ex-
pected that the new building will be
ready for occupancy before the first of
July. The fixtures were removed from
the old building this morning and sew
eral of the parties interested declared
that an agreement had been reached
by which the case would be taken out
of the courts. 1t is declared that the
method of the settlement is favorable
to the owners of the building for
which the original license was issued.

PINCH FIGHT FOLLOWERS.
Chicago Officials Nab Men Who Attend
ed Fight on Gambling Charge.

A emo limit poker game, operated
by eight FANS on the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad prize fight
special returning from Kenosha, was
raided by detectives from Assistant
Chief Schuettler' s Office early Thurs
day morning and three of the alleged
participants arrested. The detectives
led by Sergt. Patrick Harrington,
bounced upon the gamblers as soon as
the special train crossed the Chicago
city limits homeward bound. This was
an unexpected move by the assistant
chief toward the suppression of gamb-
ling and created wild excitement on
the train.
The prisoners were hustled from the
train as soon as it reached the North
western station and taken to the Chi
cago avenue police station, where they
were charged with gambling.
Assistant Chief Schuettler had been
appraised Of the poker and dice games
that are played by men returning from
prize fights and quietly ordered sew
eral detectives to make the trip to Ke-
nosha, where Hugo Kelly and "Chica-
go Knockout Brown fought a ten
round battle. After the fight the de-
tectives took seats in the packed
coaches.
Poker and dice games were soon in
full sway, according to the detectives,
but they were poWerless to act until
the city limits were reached. Several
wise players discontinued playing as
they approached the city limits. The
poker game was at fever heat, though,
when the arrests were made just after
the train crossed the line.
Word Of the unexpected raid spread
quickly through the coaches and the
few remaining card games were dis
continued.

SHOWS GOOD RESULTS.
Road School Held at Madison Certain
to Bring Great BENEFITS to Highways.

The first annual road school held in
Madison, Feb. 1916 was great sue
cess. Over two hundred delegates,
county highway commissioners, pur-
chasing committees. and citizens of the
state were in attendance, and the pub
slshed program was carried out to the
letter. Some things that characterize
ed this gathering are deserving of
special mention.
First-The five days session reveal
Led the fact that the entire state is
interested in the question of good
roads, and the new state aid law.
Eiftyfour counties were represented
lat this gathering, which is a fore
runner of a new era in road construc-
ton IN Wisconsin.
Second-Yhe personnel, earnestness
and general intelligence Of the county
highway commissioners, and men APP
pointed to supervise the work for the
counties, impressed everyone. These
men attended the meetings faithfully
each day, and the discussions and
questions asked, displayed a willing
ness to learn the best and most scien-
fife methods of road building.
Third-A better understanding Of
the work being undertaken under the
new law. Ii anyone came with preju-
dice, it was dispelled before the SEES
sions were through. Everyone went
away impressed with the greatness and
the equity Of the project undertaken.
Fourth-It afforded an excellent OPP
portunity for the Wisconsin Highway
Commission and it's staff to meet the
men who will direct the work in tie
state this year. The delegates receiv-
ed great deal of information about
the work of road building and Gnanc-
ing, not only from the regular pro-
gram, but through the exchange Of
ideas in personal intercourse with the
road commissioners from other coun-
ties, and with members of the en-
cheering force of the highway COM
mission.
The first road school was S great
success and the entire sessions were
characterized by the earnestness, COR
diality, and good fellowship with
which various phases of the big work
under the law were discussed.

MRS. JOHN P. sAUBER DEAD.
Second White Child Born in Southport
Died at Rockford Last Saturday.


Letters have been received in Keno
sha announcing the death of Mrs.
Maria Williams Sauber, wife of john
P. Sauber, which occurred on last Sat-
urday at Rockford, I'll. Mrs. Sauber
had the distinction of being the Sec
ond white child born in the village of

late John Williams, one of the pioneer
residents Of the county and a sister of
the late Henry Williams, formerly
mayor Of the city Of Kenosha. Mrs.
Sauber was born on the Williams farm
and for years she lived in the Selma
neighborhood. Thifty-fve years ago
Mrs. Sauber removed to Rockford

OTHER CANDIDATES ARE BUSY
Democrats. Still Slow to Circulate Petit
lions for Delegates and They May
Refuse to Circulate Petitions in Ken
osha County Must File March 18th

The Taft Republicans are the first
to get busy in Kenosha to seek support
for delegates to the national conven-
ton and petitions were placed in cir
culation today for the nomination of
L. ]. Elliott, Of Racine, and Alex
Mathewson, of GAINESVILLE, as well as
the four delegates at large, Emanuel
Philip, of Milwaukee, George B. Hud-
nall, OF Superior former Governor w.
d. Hoard, of Fort Atkinson and former
Governor James O. Davidson, of Madi-
son. 1t is expected that the circula-
tion OF these petitions will have the re-
suit of getting the friends of other
candidates busy. While the petitions
for LaFollette delegates have been
ready for some time the supporters Of
the senator have been slow to put them
in general circulation on account of the
uncertainty of the candidacy of Sen.
LaFollette. While it has beer declared
by the managers of the LaFollette cam
paign that he expects to be in the race
to the finish, many of the local fol
lowers of the senator are slowly but
surely swinging round to the Roosevelt
standard and should the former presi-
dent announce his candidacy in a def
mite manner, and this Is expected on
next Monday, many Of these men will
immediately climb aboard the Roosevelt
wagon. One thing is certain and that
is that Roosevelt will be the second
choice of the delegates elected for Taft
and it is just as certain that if any
"favorite son" delegates go to the
convention that they will be for Roose-
welt when it is shown that it is i'm
possible to name LaFollette. There is
a lot of Taft sentiment IN kenosha
and the men handling the petitions of
the Taft delegates aye having no trou-
BILE in securing the full list of signers
necessary to get the names of the dele
gates on the ballots. The petitions must
be filed by March 18th. If the Roose-
welt candidacy is announced on Mon
day it is certain that there will at once
be strong organization for Roosevelt
started in Kenosha and in the first dis
trict and delegates for Roosevelt may
be named in this district. The Roose-
welt supporters in Kencsha, however,
are willing to allow things to go along
just as they are as they feel certain
that the delegates elected, should there
be a prolonged fight, will ultimately
be found in the Roosevelt column.
The friends Of the various Democratic
candidates for president in Kenosha
have not circulated any petitions, but
it is declared that the rival organiza
tions have all been able to find sup
porters in the city and that all of them
will have petitions here. Harmon seems
to have little lead among the Demo
Gratis of Kenosha. However, the Demo
Gratis do not seem, to be taking a deep
interest in the matter and it is certain
that they are taking more interest in
the local election than in the national
scrimmage.

problems also increase and you need a
constant steady health force there to
provide for your city in manner to.
meet its needs.
Lacrosse, a little over q year ago,
has adopted a very similar plan and
other cities IN the state are propos-
ing the adoption of such Plan.
Thus far, where it has been tried, not
only in this state, but in other states,
it has worked out more efficiently than
any other known system.
We will be very glad to assist you
in any manner possible in the organi
zation of a proper health board for
the city of Kenosha and trust that you
will feel at liberty to write US at any
time when we can be of assistance
to you.

known Of the pioneer women of the

nesday afternoon at the age of Sc
years. Death came as a result of a
general breaking down due to adj
vanced years. Mrs. Brown had been
in feeble health for many years and
her death was not unexpected. The
deceased had resided in the town of
Salem for more than fifty years and
was widely known throughout the
western part of the county. She is
survived by four daughters, Mrs. Alex

The new automobile CLUB can do
more than the police power in suppress.
ing the "joy rider" and thereby max.
ing the streets of the city safer for
all classes of vehicles, not to mention
pedestrians, ana the bylaws of the or
ganization indicate that it is the in
tention If the members Of the club to
take firm stand against the reckless
drivers who are directly responsible
for whatever popular prejudice there
is against the automobile. The moral
effect of action by this association
against reckless drivers who happen
to be members of the organization will
be much greater than any number of
fines levied in tie police courts.
Whatever unreasonable legislation au-
tOmob;le owners have had TO fight has
been due to the reckIessness of only a
very small percentage of the drivers
and it is time that the many refused
to suffer for the sins of the few.

the criminals in our states prisons do
not all come from the uneducated class.
We cannot draw conclusions from sta
tistics, but it does show that the edu-
Gated people of our land are NOT NOR
al, that they are not fully developed,
that they are not properly educated.
There is some excuse for an ignorant
person being scoundrel, for an IT,
norant man to be q criminal, but there
is no excuse for an educated person
to be anything but an honest and
upright man.
Neither crime nor poverty can be
abolished by legislation. We hear a
great deal about legislation, about
abolishing poverty, and things Of that
kind, from Socialism and other isms;
suppose that poverty was abolished by
legislation; suppose that by one act of
legislation we could distribute the
world s goods equally among all to
night, tomorrow night there would be
practically as great a difference among
the holders Of the wealth as there is
today, because we would attempt to
change, by legislation, what cannot be
changed, and III order to wipe out
crime and poverty we must change
the mind and character Of the people,
which is an impossibility. There is no
such thing as progress by legislation;
progress must come through educa-
ton; progress cannot be the aim Of the
old, it must be made with the young;
we cannot hope to change people that
have passed maturity and are fixed in
their ways because they are the pro-
duct Of their habits Of their past life.
The only hope is to reach the young
to train them properly, to develop ac-
cording to God IS law, to develop their
physical, their intellectual and moral
nature; teach them the principal OBJ
ject OF life; let them realize what they
are on earth for Life is but a second,
it is not a second compared with eter.
nifty, and what difference does it
make to me or to you whether we
spent that second in the hoeing of
corn, or signing our names to certifi
Gates Of deposits. If I do my duty
well, l am entitled to the same re-
ward as if I were sitting in the presi-
Dental chair signing acts of legisla
ton. That principle applied to socie-
ty will wipe out discomfort, which will
wipe out crime, which will wipe out
poverty, if any one thing can do it.
We are told that we will always have
the poor with us. I believe this
means that we will never be perfect
on earth, and that we will always have
poverty until we are more enlightened
people, and it is a good thing for us,
because there is an element in the de-
velopment of one, the charitable side
is to be developed as well as the in
dustrious side To give and give free
ly is a part of the education, as it
teaches US to be generous, to be con-
siderate, to be magnanimous. These
are elements that must be developed if
we are going to have true manhood.
These are my ileas, and want to say
to the knights of Columbus, that they
as an organization, stand for
education that develops the whole
man; they should stand for everything
ennobling in the community; they
should stand for and be leaders in all
forward and upright movements; they
should stand back of everything that
is upright; they should live up to the
teachings Of their church.

Equality in law and opportunity is
one and possible thing. But equality
in all phases of human character and
talent is another and an impossible
thing And as long as this inequality
exists there will be rivalry among men
and emulation and striving to better
5he best of others in all human activi-
ties-there will DO competition. And
so the race works on upward, and when
this competition has been eliminated
the race will cease thus to work. New
