Other States Threaten to
Gust Wisconsin in Fight
Against White Plague.
URGE INCREASED EFFORT NOW

That the record Wisconsin has n ade
in the sale of Christmas Seals has
been made the basis Of appeal by anti
tuberculosis societies IN other states
is evidenced by the newspaper clip
pings, letters and samples of circular
material received by the Wisconsin
Anti -Tuberculosis Association.
Illinois is making a particularly
strong appeal on this ground. Letters
have been sent to organizations Of all
kinds showing how much more Wis
consin has done in this way, and ap-
pealing to the public spirit and civic
pride Of the citizens to help Illinois
take the Badger States enviable 20
sition this year.
Certain eastern states have had
greater success even than Illinois.
Partial reports received by the nation
al association indicate that the sale
will be doubled over that of last year
in many eastern cities. Although It's
position is threatened, if the sale holds
up to present expectations, Wisconsin
will lead for 1912, though perhaps by
smaller margin.

Filtration.

Everytime there is heavy northeast
wind the inhabitants of Kenosha are
as one man in their desire to have the
lake water filtered regardless of
whether it is used for drinking pur-
poses or not. There are scores of days
throughout the year when the lake
water is unfit for domestic purposes
not TO mention drinking purposes.
The condition surrounding the water
Of Evanston, H., are similar to those
of Kenosha and the residents of that
city have just decided by vote of
two to one, to issue bonds to the
amount of nearly 100000 for the
purpose of putting in a filtration
system.
Kenosha's water supply has been a
cause of concern for twenty years.
1t is drawn from an intake located less
than mile from the shore Owing
to the peculiar character of the north
shore it would be necessary to push
out into the lake several miles before
the intake would reach the depths of
the Chicago cribs. Even if that were
done-and it is very costly hallway
measure-it would not touch the prob
lem of the contamination of the water
by sewage and the heavy steamship
traffic along the shore.
The Evanston council has investi-
gated the matter of filtration thorough
ly and no one can peruse the report of
the special committee of the Evanston
city council upon the problem Of the
water supply without coming to the
conviction that every step of the way
has been studied out thoughtfulIy and
with expert aid of high quality.
100000 is lot Of money and it is
questionable if so large an amount
ought to be put into a filtration sys-
tenn in Kenosha, especially when the
expense of up keep is considered, but
one thing is certain and that is that
Kenosha ought to have some kind of

Waukegan and Kenosha Basketball
Elves Clash in Opening Games.
The basketball season for the Keno
sha high school boys was opened on
Friday evening and the opening serim-
mage on the floor Of the auditorium at
the high school brought victory and
defeat for the Kenosha colors. In the
opening game the Kenosha second team
played rings around the second team
from Waukegan and the final score
was Kenosha n, Waukegan s. The
first team proved too slow for the
Waukegan leaders and the game went
to Waukegan with score of 43 to 30.
Jackson and Clark were the strong
players on the Kenosha FIVE. Return
games will be arranged for Wauke-
gan in a short time and the Kenosha
players expect to regain their lost
prestige at that time.

and has officiated as pastor of the
church for the past two years. Few
men have been stronger in pulpit and
pastoral work than the retiring min

with a keen insight into the affairs OF
life he has been a tower of strength
for the Kenosha church. His sermons
have proven attractive not only to Uni
tarians, but to men who were not mem

postorate in Kenosha Mr.. Mann has
given considerable of his time to writ

regarded as a classic by students of

RAID A CLUB ROOM.
Police Pick Up Light Bulbs Alleged to
Have Been Stolen Friday Night.

Chief O'Hare and members of the
police force made raid on a club
room maintained by one of the Clubs
among the boys of the west side on
Friday night and picked up a bunch
of electric light bulbs which are al
legged to have been stolen from the
station of the Chicago and North
western Railway Company. The bulbs
have been disappearing nightly and
the railway men got a tip that they
were being pus into service in the club
rooms. Two of the members of the
club were picked up by the police and
they were held pending further ex-
animation. It is said that Arthur
Sonnerburg, one of the boys taken into
custody, admitted that he had taken
several of the lights from the subway
at the station. 1t is declared that
the other members of the club knew
nothing of the theft of the lamps.

Some of the figures in the report
of the interstate commerce commission
for the year ending June 80, 1912,
show that there is good reason for
the cry of safety first" in which the
commission has joined. The steam rail-
roads of the United States in this
year killed or injured 1S0,123 persons,
against 16o,555 in the year ending
June 80, 1911, an increase Of 1872 per
cent.
Derailments due to faulty roadway
increased from 1926 to 1877, or by
53 per cent; derailments due to faulty
equipment from 1894 to 3,S47, or by
80 per cent. These fgures indicate
that the extensive buying of materials
for Improvement of tracks and rolling
stock In the last year had its origin
In necessity. The roads had allowed
their property to run down until re-
Mobilization became imperative.
The commission blames speed mania
and the mistakes or derelctions of
employees for many of the accidents.
Accidents for which employees are
6lamable should be made fewer, as the
commission points out, through reduc-
Ing the chances of human error to a
minimum and neutralizing the effects
IT such error when it occurs. Operat-
ng rules should be improved and safe
y devices should be more generally
ased.-Record- Herald.

PROGRAM NOT MAPPED OUT
Old Guard Who Opposed the Bill When
it Became Law Expected to be Ac-
tive in the Coming Session of the
State Legislature Bishop Improved

Greatly improved after treatment
Of more than a month in the Monroe
Street Hospital in Chicago, State SEN
ator Isaac T.. Bishop returned TO his
home in the town of Somers on Friday
evening and he is now actively engag-
ed in closing up his business so that
he can give his entire time to the COM
ing sessions of the legislature at
Madison. In point of years Senator
Bishop is one Of the Oldest mem
bers of the state senate and the
word has been sent out that the Ke-
n, rha county solon is to be the leader
in the fight for the repeal Or amend
ment of the income tax law.
When seen this morning Senator
Bishop said ''I am all right and
those fellows at Madison will see that
/ am still able to put up a good fight.
We have as yet framed no bill for
the repeal of the income tax law, but
the matter is under consideration and
I am going to roll up my sleeves and
do any thing can do to get changes
in the law if it is not repealed. There
are some Of the men from this section
of the state opposed to the present in
come tax law and we intend to make
our presence felt at Madison. 1t is
probable that a conference will be
held before the session at which time
a program will be mapped out. My
long illness has made it impossible for
me to keep in the close touch with the
members of the senate that / should
have liked, but / am all right now and
will have nothing to do but represent
the district when | get to Madison.
There have been lot of suggestions
made in regard to the handling of the
income tax law and it is quite certain
that one OF these suggestions will be
framed into bill.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture when the bill became law Sen
ator Bishop was one of it's strongest
opponents. He opposed the bill both
In the committee room and on the
floor of the senate and incurred con-
siderable criticism from the admins
tration on account of the stand he
took on this legislation. He declared
today that his opinion of the bill had
not changed in the least.
Kenosha county is sure to be storm
center for war against the income tax
as Charles H. Pfennig, the new mem
Der of the lower house from this
county, was elected on platform de-
claring against the income tax law.
MIR. Pfennig is a new man in the low
er house, but at that he is being
counted on as a leader in the fight for
repeal or amendment The session of
the legislature will open on the first
Monday in January. On account of
his recent illness Senator Bishop ex-
poets to transfer his home to Madi-
son for the months that the legisla-
ture is in session.

HITS STATE BOARD
Leader in the Fight Against
Consumption Makes Per-
tinent Criticism of Board
ROLLER TOWELS IN CAPITOL

| If as it claims, the state board of
health is responsible for the agitation
against the roller towel and public
drinking cup, why does the board not
enforce in Wisconsin's own six mil
lion dollar state capitol building the
rules against public drinking cups and
public towels, that it enforces in all
other public places of Wisconsin?
This is the pertinent inquiry sent
to the state board of health by DR..
Hoyt Z. Dearholt, executive secretary
of the Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis As
ISOLATION, in response to a statement
published by DR.. Whyte of Water
town, denying as president Of the state
board Of health, that the Wisconsin
Anti tuberculosis Association was re-
sponsible, even in part, for the crea-
tion of the sentiment resulting in the
adjustment of these disease spreading
devices in all other public places than
the state capitol itself. DR.. Whyte de-
clared that the anti tuberculosis asso-
citation was claiming too much in TAX
ing credit for this campaign, saying
the state board Of health itself was
responsible for the crusade.
"We have made no statement that
we enacted the ruling against the roll
Fer towel and public drinking cup"
said DIR. Dearholt, "but we did most.
positively agitate the question until
the action of the board was obvious
and certain of popularity. We do not
care for any controversy with our
friends, the state board of health. but
We can not sit back and allow our
selves to be charged with misrepre-
sentation without answering the
charge. How anyone can question the
statement that the Wisconsin Anti
Tuberculosis Association has created
hnterest and sentiment for these and
other health regulations is incompre-
hensible. DR.. Whyte, however, now
invites the question which we are go
ing to persist in asking until action
is taken.
/" Why is the new state capitol
equipped with public drinking cups
when railroad depots and similar pub
lie buildings are required to comply
with the regulations?'
We have had the most splendid
support at times from the members Of
the state board Of health and at times
we have had opposition in our at
tempts to popularize the very measures
it is the health board Is function to
uphold. | would not now say word
which might be construed as a refec-
ton upon my personal friends in the
state board, including DR.. Whyte were
it not that our honesty has been ques-
toned. We have no desire 60 antag-
onize and we are anxious to avoid
even suggestion of officiousness. but
to the end will continue our efforts
towards education and popularization
of health questions as is certainly the
right of any citizen in a democracy. },

One thing is certain and that is that
no more boxing contests will be per-
mitted in Kenosha again under the
same conditions which prevailed at
the Coliseum on Monday night. Nei-
Their the chief of police nor the head
of the fire department will stand any
thing of the kind again. It Is sheer
luck that no one was seriously injured
in the crush at the door and the con-
viction is growing stronger that such
chances of a panic or riot as were
taken at this last show should neve,r
be permitted again in this city. In
view of what was so narrowly escap-
ed, the work of the pickpockets in the
crowd seems of minor Importance but
it was plenty serious enough to give
the police a basis for any rules or
regulations governing future shows
they may see fit to establish.
