That the youthful criminal is the
most daring and desperate of crimi-
mails is truism in police circles.
Magistrate McAdoo of New York, in
his annual report, says: There is
growing up in this city menacing
army Of bows and young men who are
the most troublesome element we have
to deal with The problem in every
large city is to direct youthful ener-
gies and venturesomeness for the good
ather than the harm Of society.
Civilization means tameness to the
man of barbaric instincts, and the nor
NAL bow is barbarian in his protest
against restraint He Graves advent
ure, and in the city he can get it in
sports, mainly. To provide plenty OF
Fairgrounds and means Of athletic
recreation is to give the boy chance
to work off his surplus energy healthi-
Nv. When he cannot work it off
6ealthily he turns to rowdyism and
the excitement of aw-breaking.
For its own protection every city
should have many Fairgrounds, for
the older as well as the younger boys,
and industrial training schools

The attorney for the city may go
to the trouble to file another brief in
the case just to make certain that
he is doing everything any man can
do to win, but the city has lost its
suit for the property north of the
limits which it proposed to use for
a tuberculosis sanitarium and the
patients will have to wait as best
they can until he city can find an
other piece Of property suited to its
purposes or arrangements are made
for their accommodation in another
county. The result OF the fight for
possession Of this property is natural
ly keen disappointment to the coun-
Gil committee and the city officials
interested in checking the spread of
the white plague in Kenosha They
had hoped that the problem OF, pro.
viding for the proper care Of the I'M
fortunates whose condition is a con
slant menace to the health of the en-
tire comm unity had been solved by
the purchase of this property All of
the men connected with the case have
learned som.ethinic of the law relating
to the transfer of real estate that may
be useful to- them in the future. They
have learned that there are certain
formalfties that must be complied
with to make a bargain 4or the trans
fer of real estate binding and that it
is a simple and easy matter to get
out of any sale unless these formal
ties are gone through with. Any bar
gain can be upset on technicality
for the court cannot recognize any
moral obligation to carry out an
agreement as' binding on the party as
assuming it if he chooses to take
refuge behind a technicality. The
representatives of the city did what
they could to defend the rights of
the city to the property and their
course has been very generally APP
proved by the people Of the city who
have watched the developments in the

MARGARET ELLINGTON.
In Kindling' Coming to the Rhode
Opera House Next Monday.


Margaret Ellington, in the absorb
ing and wholly unusual character of
Maggie Schultz in Charles Kenyon s
drama, Kindling' viii be the at
traction at the Rhode on Monday
evening, April 18th, under the man
agemert Of edward J. Bowes.
Kindling" is play that requires
exceptional acting for its success. In
this respect the demand has been most
faithfully filed. Not only as regards
Miss Ellington, but with each member
Of the company supporting her are
the characters beautifully acted
The story of the play is an inter
esting one. 1t has to do with Maggie
Schultz, wife Of steyedore living in
the tenement district of the lower
East Side, New York. AS with all
women of healthy mind and body, she
longs for motherhood. In her burns
fiercely, the fame of mother love for
a child yet unborn. Her observations
persuade her that living in a crowded
tenement house is condition quite
unsuited to bring a child into the
world. She becomes obsessed with
one idea-to get as far away from
New York and the menace of her tene-
ment house existence as possible. So
when temptation comes her way, she
steals-at first little trinkets for the
baby's layette, then diamond brooch,
which she pawns for enough money
to take her and her husband to the
West and to buy her peace of mind.
At this point exposure comes and with
it many situations of intensely alb
sorbing interest Seats will be placed
on sale Friday, 9 a. m.

TWO LISTS FROM THIS COUNTY
County Clerk Jones Plans to Give State
an UP to Date List of Voters at Last
Spring Election to Aid in Getting
Facts Before People of County.

Within short time the voters of
Kenosha county will begin to receive
information in regard to candidates
who may seek party nominations for
state offices as County Clerk Russell
III. Jones has fled with the secretary
of state at Madison a complete list
Of the electors in Kenosha county.
The list is based on the votes cast
at the last general election. In MAX
ting up the list the name Of every
man voting was included and the adj
dress Of each one was given. In or
der to be better able to carry out
| the provisions of the new law the
clerk has secured full poll list of
| the votes cast at the spring election
on last Tuesday and if the state has
| a desire for a new list he will supple
ment the list sent in some time ago
| by sending in the poll list of the most
recent election. It is thought that
with the two lists the entire voting
population of the county can be
reached.
These lists have been revised in the
office of the secretary of state and
just as soon as the petitions of can
didates for state and legislative offices
are filed the secretary of state will
prepare an official statement of the
candidates. These statements will in
clude a sketch of the life Of the can
didate and his picture and such facts
as may be pertinent to the voters in
making up their opinion of him as a
! possible Office holder. The books will
! be published at the expense of the
state, but there is a set fee placed
| by the law to be paid by each candi-
| date who has his name and picture
| in the book,
| Every voter in the state regardless
| of party affiliations will receive one
of these books and they will give him
the complete history of every candi-
ldate of every party. Special editions

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Pan

ferees OF the senate and house, was
passed by the house again tonight by a
viva voce vote. AS passed, the bill.
which provides for the government and

provisions for the passage OF American

free OF tolls and the admittance OF ship
building material 10 the canal zone free

"A special rule prohibiting points of

Representatives Moore and Olmsted, OF

for free admission OF ship materials.
AS a result there was little opposition.
Mr.. Moore was taken severely TO task
by Representative Alexander. chairman
OF the merchant marine committee. for

clause would injure American ship

.AD VALOREM DOG TAX
BILL SIGNED BY BROWN
Men Who Voted for 1t Urged
Veto-Venue Bill Also
Approved

Gov. Joseph NJ Brown on Saturday
evening approved the new dog tax bill!
which, IL is said, will cut approx
mately 100000 off the states annual
revenue.
The new law takes the place of the
old dollar a dog tax, and taxes the
owner of CANNES for ad valorem prop
erty. In other words, at 1 per cen;
rate II would take a 800 pup to bring
the state 81 in revenue. and the owner
Of a worthless hound can keep hin.
without paying anything to the state.
The former dog tax bill brought the
state between 100000 and $4,000 an
nually.
1t is said that a number of the solone
who voted for the new measure tc
please canine-owning constituents, Wis
tied Governor Brown after its passage
and urged the chief executive to veto
the measure, which they. as legislators,
approved by their votes.
Another important piece of general
legislation approved Saturday evening
by the governor was the venue bill"
law WHlCH was DlllcIAg lOu6
by the corporations, especially the Cen
trail Georgia Power company, provides
that suits for damages can be filed in
counties where the alleged damage
occurs or incurs.
On the old system # has been re-
quired that. the suits be brought in
the county where the corporation sued
has it's headquarters. The bill is con-
sidered one of the most important
passed by the recently adjourned es-
sion of the legislature.
A long-standing controversy between
a number of property owners Of Jack

MONROE, Ca, Aug. 19.-Before a
large crowd of farmers and business
for governor, today charged that his
opponent, John NJ. Slaton, favored leas-
ing the Western and Atlantic railroad
during the next administration, that the
railroads were seeking permanent con-
troll of the property. and that if Slaton
have enacted such legislation that
would authorize a new lease Of the
railroad owned by the state.
He called Mr.. Slaton to task for wait
ing until the 18th hour in the campaign
to state his views on this important
subject. and for himself he declared
that he favored no new lease during
the next administration, but that all
the facts concerning the road should be
put before the people and let them de-
termine whether they would lease, sell
or extend the road and let the state
itself operate it.
In discussing this subject, Mr.. Alex
ander said:
There is one proposition which can
be fairly deduced from Mr.. Slaton's
proclamation, something not clearly
and manfully outspokeu. something COW
cred up under a multiplicity of involved
sentences, but as surely deducible from
what he says as a mathematical Quanu-
ty from an adequate equation.
"He tells us that the Western and
Atlantic railroad ought never to be sold.
He tells us that it ought not to be
extended or operated by the state. He
tells us that every generation should
have opportunity to dispose Of 1t ac-
cording to it's own judgment
1.-THE necessary meaning of all this
is that he favors a new lease; and when
he tells us that this subject will have
to be dealt with by the next admins
tration, we come by certain logic to
the sure conclusion, from all the mass
of his vague and involved expressions,
that, if chosen governor. he will urge
the making of a new lease within the
next two years.
AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR
This is a very startling proposition
to put forward, without previous warn
ing, at the very end of campaign
in which he has, according to his own
boast tied up the ten thousand most
prominent citizens of Georgia by what
many of them regard as irrevocaole
pledges, but which were secured before
he ever gave the slightest hint of this
purpose. And I declare to the people
of all the state that, deep as my concern
has been against the sure progress to
nullify the prohibition law, 1 regard
this present intent as even more mo-
mentous.
1.-The gravest evils threaten our fu-
ture II at this time, without adequate
opportunity for consideration, We tie our
hands for another generation by
lease of this great property that con-
stitutes today our only potential effec-
tive safeguard against the nervous and
extortionate burdens that are being laid
upon US by the railroad companies.
