ceramon council but IL seems that a
copy of it went to the contractors.
1t was also alleged by the attorneys
that the members of the Street As
sessment Committee knew all about the
change of profile and Alderman Wade
readily admitted this was fact. For
mer Mayor Scholey said that he could
not remember whether or not he had
ever been advised as to the change in
the profile on account of the fact that
at the time this work was being done
he had been very i'll and he had not
given as much care to some of the mat
tiers as they demanded.
The members of the council at the
present time do not regard the alleged
acceptance as of any value as the conn.
Gil has not acted on it and it is declar

til acted upon by the council.
The conference cid not result in any
great progress in the settling of the bill
for extras. Contractor White has sug-
gested that an expert engineer be en-
ployed to cheek up the excavation and
that the contractors would be willing to
accept a settlement on the basis of his
figures. The proposition was taken un-
der consideration and the committee
will submit an answer later.

Ex-ALDERMAN NOT CERTAIN
M. j. Scholey Who is Alleged to Have
Signed Acceptance has Hazy Memory
of the Matter Being Brought Before
Him and City Engineer is Silent.

The trump card of the Cleary, White,
Newman Company in connection with
the building of the trunk St wer, was
sprung this morning at conference
between the attorneys of the city and
the attorneys for the company, 7. M.
Kearney of Racine and Peter Fisher of
Kenosha, when Mr.. Kearney announced
that he had in his possession a signed
acceptance OF the trunk sewer, signed
by the Street Assessment Committee.
He was guarded in the statements and
did not reveal the names of the sigma
lures to the acceptance of the sewer.
City Engineer Baltzec was present at
the conference and he neither admitted
nor denied that he had signed such
statement. Alderman Joseph G.. Rhode
and Mayor Dan. O. Head now members
OF the committee are certain that they
have signed no acceptance so chat the
acceptance must have been signed by
he former Street Assessment Commit
tee composed OF former Mayor M. j.
Scholey, former alderman George R.
Wade and the City Engineer. Former
Mayor scholey was seen shortly after
the conference and he admitted that
he had signed an acceptance of the
sewer but insisted that it was not an
acceptance of the completed sewer but
simply of the work that had been done
by the contractors at the time the state
ment had been signed. Mr.. Scholey was
not just clear as to how much of the
sewer was covered by the acceptance
signed but he declared that he was GER
tain that the work was not all COM
pleted at the time Of the signature.
Former alderman George Wade was not
certain in the matter. He stated that
the members of the committee had
signed a number of papers along that
time and he was of the opinion that
one of them was report to the council
accepting a portion or all of the sewer
work. This report never reached the

County Clerk Russell H. Jones re-
ceived from the secretary of state to-
day the list of candidates for state and
congressional offices to be placed on
the primary ballot in this county. The
list shows that Governor McGovern
will have no opposition in his race for
denomination and that the same is true
of Congressman Henry Allen Cooper of
Racine. The number Of candidates for
state and congressional office this year
is unusually small and the total num-
Der of petitions filed for candidates for
state offices was but twenty seven. The
only contests among the Republicans
for places on the state ticket are for
the Office Of attorney general and state
treasurer.
Democrats have two candidates for
each Office except that of secretary of
state.

The time for fling petitions for the
primary election expired on Saturday
and no dark horses appeared at the
last moment to upset the calculations
Of the politicians. The voters of the
two old parties are allowed consider
able choice in the selection of the can
didates for some Of the places on the
tickets for the regular election and the
campaign for the grand prize of county
politics, the nomination for sheriff
promises to be lively one. IF some
of the candidates for this office put as
much into the campaign as they claim
they are ready to spend, the nominee,
whoever he may be, will have little
ammunition left for the regular cam
paign and this does not refer to the
limitation on expenditures made by
the corrupt practices act either. 1t has
always been the custom for would-b be
sheriffs to spend literally in this coun-
ty, the custom originating when term
as sheriff would make man financially
independent for life.

The growth of the city has made the
better regulation Of traffic on the pub
lie streets absolutely necessary and if
the police are to be called upon to per-
form this very important part of reg
ular police duty they must have a law
under which they can work. The new
traffic ordinance which is being prepar
ed for presentation to the council is
designed to remedy defects in the pres
emit law and to give the police the
powers they must have if they are to
be held responsible for traffic regula-
tion. 1t is expected that the proposed
ordinance will meet with more or less
opposition in the council no matter in
what form it is drawn, but it should
be possible to work out some kind of
a law that will enable the police to
work effectively without infringing on
anybody's rights.

Inasmuch as the number Of inmates
in ali state institutions is increasing
right along, the number of escapes to
the number Of inmates may be no high
ed than it has been in the past, but it
IS fact that the continued reports of
escapes of inmates from reformatory
institutions and asylums are arousing
a good deal Of unfavorable comment.
Representatives of one or another of
the institutions or asylums appear to
be in the county about all of the time
looking for somebody from Kenosha
who has managed to get away from
the guards somewhere and is supposed
to have returned home.

MANY WIDOWS GETTING RELIEF
Cost of Maintaining Department. for
the Past Three Months was in the
Neighborhood of s150O-one to be
Sent to England at Once.

The report of Alderman Jacob Saftig
of the pauper committee of the COM
mon council, copy of which has been
sent to each member of the council
shows that at the present time the city
is aiding in the support of thirtyfour
families. A few Of these families are
receiving full support from the city,
but in large majority of the cases
only partial support is being given.
The report shows that in seven cases
demand for aid from the city has been
made on account of the desertion of
husbands, in fourteen case the families
are the children Of widows. There
are IA people receiving full or part
support from the city and Of this num-
Der eighty weight are children under the
age of fourteen years and thirteen
over that age.
The report shows that in the past
three months Alderman Saftig has
made strenuous effort to reduce the
number receiving aid from the city and
in that time seven families who had
received aid have been dropped from
the rolls. In all of these cases the
alderman has been able to force the
people to become self-supporting In
addition to this the pauper committee
has cut off much of the support of
families remaining on the city list and
many of the families are receiving
only little aid from the city.
The financial report for the three
months period shows that the cost of
maintaining the paupers in that time
was a little less than $780, Of course
this is the summer season and the com
mittee has not been subject to the
heavy drain of buying fuel for the
city's poor, but at that it is thought
that the cost of maintaining this de-
pertinent of the city shows a marked
decrease.
The people receiving aid from the
city are pretty well scattered and the
first and second wards are the only
two wards in the city not having pen
sioners on the list. These two wards
are entirely free Of people who receive
aid from the city. Nearly every per-
son on the list has a name indicating
that the person is of foreign birth and
for the most part the women and chill
dren are the widows or deserted wives
and the children of aliens who never
secured citizenship rights.
The pauper committee has made pro-
vision to do away with one charge on
the city. John Mensforth, a former
brick layer, who has been city charge
for some time and who has made him.
self nuisance at the poor farm, is to
be sent to England. The city has
agreed to furnish part of the cost of
sending Mensforth back to his old
home and it is declared that he has
1 friends in England who will take care
of him. 1t is planned to start him for
his former home at once.

Still they go. Here is the Dowagiac
Drill company abandoning it's Madison
branch because of what it regards as
unjust legislation toward a non-resi-
dent corporation; and now B. B.
Clarke, whose publications leave untold
thousands of dollars annually at the
Wisconsin capital, announces his inten-
ton of disposing Of all his holdings
here and removing to another state if
the income tax law is not repealed.
Baraboo has lost the Ringlings.
A well known manufacturer and
banker is to remove from Watertown
into jurisdiction which does not I'M
duly penalize capital. La Crosse re.
ports prospective departures of bust
ness interests. There are numerous
transfers from Milwaukee. And all
over the state elsewhere alarming dis
quietude on the part of manufacturers
and investors is chroGicled.
The income tax poison is at work.
Exactly the result now beginning to
be observed were inevitable. 1t was
known before the radical act was
passed that capital and industry would
be driven from the state just as soon as
the obnoxious, inquisitoriaI law got
into operation. Therefore, the move.
ment now noted can occasion no sur
prise, however tragic it is in fact.
There is but one remedy Repeal of the
law. 4
The law must go. Wisconsin can en-
dure no such blight as it ntails. In
every legislative district of the state a
candidate should be pledged squarely
against the law. Supporters of the act
from the governor down should be
marked for defeat. The material in
terests of the state demand the imme-
date reputation of this pernicious
measure and of all men who defend it.
a federal income tax is all but here
and it is quite enough of taxation Of
this peculiar nature. Wisconsin radi-
Gals have carried their theories in this
matter to a suicidal limit. Now they
must crawish or take the consequences.
The latter are due them anyway for
the intolerable violence Of their own
ducs--Madison Democrat.

NEED OF MORE AID
Rural Schools of Country
Said Not to be Getting
Attention Necessary.
WANT BETTER SCHOOL HOUSES

"The rural school is the one lag
gard in the educational procession, =
declares E. I. FairchilG, Kansas state
superintendent of public instruction,
IN monograph just published for free
distribution by the United States
bureau of education.
This condition is due, among other
things, to the fact that the emphasis
OF educational thought has been placed
on the city schools, the high schools and
the colleges, at the expense of the rural
school. Mr.. Fairchild also finds that
the ever increasing trend of popula-
ton toward the cities, and the grow
ing per cent of tenant farmers, have
had a distinct and deterrent effect
upon our country schools
"The following is a true, though
not full Indictment" continues Mr.
Fairchild. "Of the 100000 rural
school children, constituting a clear
majority Of the whole number Of the
youth of school age, less than 25 per
cent are completing the work of the
grades. The teaching body is imma-
ture and lacks proper training. Terms
are short.
"School buildings are poor, unsani-
tary and ill-equipped. The school en-
rollment is constantly decreasing. The
supervision is wholly inadequate. Cost
of instruction is higher than in the
grades. High school privileges are de-
MED the great majority of these boys
and girls.
The strong, virile rural school Of
a generation ago has gone, and in it's
place is aNprimary school weak in num-
bers and lacking in efficiency. The
country boy and girl of this strenuous
and complete twentieth century are
not afforded equal educational oppor-
tunities.
"a vital weakness in our rural
schools system is the lack of genuine
demand for properly trained teachers.
l. have knowledge of one state that
bears an excellent reputation educa-
tionally where, out Of 5000 rural
school teachers in 1910, 4,40o were
found to have had no training beyond
the eighth grade.
9 Ii we want to get more out of the
rural schools, we must put more into
them. We can never have the best
rural schools until we have aroused
public interest in them The national
life and character of tomorrow is set
and directed by the school Of today.
''The country is the nations great
recruiting ground. To it the city has
always looked for its supply of men
who do the great things, who command
armies, build industries, take the
initiative.
sit is true that the cities are the
!centers of organization, but they are
not self-sustaining. The rural popula>
ton must always be the bone and
sinew of any country. More than one
half of our schools are inadequate.
