Of earlier days in that section Of the

venerable husband The celebration

from Kenosha and they declare the

The politicians have always taken
advantage Of the gatherings Of the
Old settlers club to meet their "con-
Btits and those they hoped to make
their supporters, but the idea of a
straight out and out political picnic is
something new in Kenosha county. Ii
all the men who have declared their in
tention of going out for office this fall
take out nominating petitions, it will
be quite gathering if nobody at
tends the Labor Day picnic Of the club
but the candidates. With day set
apart especially for politics and politi-
clans the annual reunion of the club
on the last Thursday in August can be
devoted exclusively to honoring the
pioneers as it should be.

The first test of the new ordinance
which confers on the city the right to
demolish old and dilapidated buildings
which have become q menace or an
eyesore to the neighborhoods in which
they stand, will come at the next meet
ing of the council, unless present plans
miscarry, for notice has been served
on the owners of building on Ash
land avenue to appear and show cause
why it should not be demolished. Prop
erty owners in all sections of the city
are pleased to see action taken under
this ordinance, for it is certain that if
it is sustained, general cleaning up
of old shacks which increase the fire
hazard and which are to a great extent
responsible for unsanitary conditions
in some parts of the city will follow.
If the council upholds it's own ordinance
and orders the destruction of any struc-
ture under it, a court action to test
the validity of the ordinance is almost
certain to follow This is what the
officials want, for while they believe
the ordinance will be upheld by the
courts, they would prefer to have de-
cision sustaining their view of the
ordinance from a court before proceed
ing too far under it. Ordinances drawn
along similar lines have been sustained
in Other cities, but if the Kenosla or
dinanco $ faulty in any particular so
that it must be amended in order to
stand the test of the courts, the time
to find it out is before the city it let in
for any damage suits.

THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1912.

The people of the entire city will
heartily approve Of any measure the
new Park Commission may take to in
troduce business methods and system in
the management Of the city parks. It
might be advisable to let bygones be
bygones with the Inauguration of a
new system Of caring for parks and
public grounds under the rule of the
commission, but it has been matter
of rather general knowledge that the
expenditures on some of the parks in
the past year or two approached peril
Ously near causing public scandal and
that the people received very little
return for much Of The money that was
expended" on some of the parks.

MORE LARGE Gifts.
Cemetery Assn. Receives a
Draft for $4,000 from
Unknown Donor.
new PROPERTY IS PURCHASED

The Kenosha Cemetery Association
on Thursday received another large an
onymous gift, this time in the way Of
a draft on New York for $4,000. There
was nothing to indicate the name of
the donor and the directors of the as
ISOLATION feel that the gift comes from
one who does not desire to have the
left hand know what the right is do
ing. The gift was received by T. G..
Simmons, one of the directors of the
association. In speaking of the matter
this morning Mr.. Simmons said: ''I
really have not the slightest idea of
where the money comes from, but [
want to say that the gift and the real
spirit of helpfulness in which it was
made is decidedly welcome to the direc-
tors of the association. We are very
proud of the interest the people of
Kenosha are taking in the cemetery
and we have received the assurance of
several other large gifts to the fund
for the permanent improvement of the
cemetery. We hope that this fund will
be large enough before the end of the
summer to warrant the carrying out of
all the big things we have planned and
these things when completed will make
the Kenosha City cemetery one of the
most beautiful spots in Wisconsin
The directors on Thursday closed a
deal for the purchase of the property
at the corner of Park Row and Park
avenue, just North of the cemetery
gates and this property will be cleared
at once and improved in keeping with
the remainder Of the cemetery. A
beautiful ornamental archway follow
ing the lines Of the wall now being
completed will be erected over Park
Row and this corner and the wall will
be extended to the end of the newly
purchased property on Park avenue.
For a long time the directors of the
cemetery association have apprecia ted
the great need Of a waiting room and
the newly purchased property, while
not properly a part of the cemetery,
will be used as site for small build
ing to be used as the offices of the
cemetery association and as waiting
room for people who may desire to at
tend funerals.
Plans for this little building are now
being made and it viii probably be of
the same construction as the granite
wall now nearing completion on the
East side of the cemetery. 1t is prob
able that the waiting room and office
will be erected during the present year,
but this will be largely dependent on
gifts received. The 900 received on
Thursday makes total of anonymous
gifts totaling more than $4,000 within
ten days and other gifts received in
the same time amounted to nearly
$4,000.

DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
seraphino Moroni Prominent Among
Italians, Died Thursday Afternoon.

Seraphino Moroni, aged As years, and
one OF the best known of the Italian
residents Of the city, died very sud
denly at his residence 81 Newell street
on Thursday afternoon Moroni had
been at work in the Windsor Spring
company plant during the morning and
seemed to be in the best of health
Wnen ne returned to his home for din
ner. He had been eating dinner when
ne attempted to get up from the chair
and fell to the floor dead Coroner
stanton made an investigation and
signed the death certificate, giving apo
piexy as the cause of death. The de-
ceased was native of Italy, but he
came to this city more than fifteen
years ago, and for many years had
been employed at the plant of the
Windsor Spring Company. He is sur

GET FIRST RECEIPTS.

Kenosha pensioners who filed dec
larations for an increase in their pen
sions under the new law are receiv-
ing from Washington their receipts for
the papers fled. This receipt which
was attached to the paper the appli-
cant filed, merely shows that the dec
laration has been filed in the govern
ment offices and stamp indicates the
dates and character of the pension in
volved
Many of the pensioners have been
puzzled as to what to do with these re-
ceipts and some supposed that they
should be filed at the county clerks
office In the same manner as their
vouchers are executed. A number of
the veterans have appeared at the
county clerks office with the receipts.
The receipts require no action what
ever. The only duty of the pensioner
to whom they are sent is to preserve
them as evidence of the fling of his
paper. The increase in pensions under
the new law will probably not be in.
Guided in. the warrants issued on the
vouchers filed in July.
Although the pension blanks were
rather hard to get when the law first
was passed, there are now plenty of
them and practically every veteran in
the city has had one I'D out and
mailed to Washington so that the in
crease in pension may start at the
earliest possible moment.

1T may be news to some readers that
the interest bearing debt of the United
States has increased nearly four hun
dred million dollars from its low-water
mark of twenty years ago and about
seventy millions in the last four years.
1t will soon once more top billion;
but the total public debt is much larger
than that and is increasing much more
rapidly.
Ten years ago borrowings on long
term bonds by states and cities amount
ed to about one hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars annually In 1906, for the
first time under normal conditions, the
total issue of state and city bonds
reached two hundred millions. There
after, year by year, the total mounted
until in l911-as appears by a recent
compilation-it came to four hundred
millions. In five years borrowings by
states and cities on long-term bonds
have exceeded a billion and a half.
Like the most recent,increases in the
national debt this represents public
improvements. Considerably over half
of last year issues were for water
works, streets, roads, bridges and
school buildings. Until recently the
overwhelming bulk of borrowings of
this sort was in states of the North
Atlantic and North Central divisions.
Ten years ago those states furnished
nearly ninety per cent of the total and
hive years ago eighty per cent. Since
1907, however, issues of bonds for pub
lie improvements in the South and
West have risen by leaps; in fact, since
1907 the increase in North Atlantic and
North Central states has been only sew
enty-four million dollars against nine
ty-tive millions in the South and West.
Southern and Western cities are now
borrowing more for improvements than
the North Atlantic and North Central
cities including New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston, and so on-were
borrowing ten years Saturday

The report of the state fire marshal
for May shows that there were fifty
six fires caused by lightning in Wiscon-
sin during that month and that the
losses amounted to nearly $150,000. The
report goes on to say that all state fire
marshals recommend the use of lightn-
ing rods and makes the strong state
ment that in Minnesota out of 146 fires
from lightning not one building that
had been properly rodded was struck.
Having no agency for any concern sup
plying these rods, it is permissible to
remark that lot of lightning rod
can be bought for one month s fire
losses and that the rods are proven to
be a cheap and effective form of in
surance.

The park commission has taken up
its duties in way that promises good
results for the city, and it is safe to
predict that a year from now we will
all wonder how the city ever got along
without commission. Any fairly OBJ
servant man can see a hundred places
where the kind of supervision the
commission will exercise would have
been Of immense benefit to the city in
years past. It is too late to cry over
split milk, but it was a shortsighted
policy which refused to establish a
commission when the city first began
to grow ten years ago.

District Attorney Henry j. Hastings
is not going to desert the grand old
Democratic party in the hey day of its
youth at the pie counter in Kenosha
county, and he announced on Thursday
afternoon that he would be candidate
for denomination for the office of dis
trict attorney on the Democratic
ticket. 81 guess it will be up to me to
be a candidate again." said Mr..
Hastings, "and / will be formally in
the race within a few days" 1t is an
open secret that the district attorney
is not lover of politics or political
campaigns, but he is about the only
lawyer in the Democratic ranks who is
eligible to the office After the July
bar examinations, it is possible that
there will be a crop of young lawyers
in Kenosha and that one Of these will
contest with Mr.. Hastings for the
nomination. In this list is George B.
McCarron, Walter M. Burke and James
E. Tully. McCarron and Burke were
recently graduated from the law de-
partment Of Marquette university and
Mr.. Tully has been a student of the
university for two years. All of them
have planned to take the bar examina-
+iops On Iu11, 16+b Tho bor ovon,;no
tions are an uncertain quantity and the
usual thing is to have about five out of
a hundred candidates graduate. 1t will
be no discredit to any of the Kenosha
young men should they fail to land on
the first examination, and in fact, it is
rather the unusual for a young lawyer
to secure admission to the bar on the
first examination. Before any of these
men could enter the race for district
attorney, should they decide to take
such step, it will be necessary for
them to be regularly admitted to prac-
! tice in the state courts. Until some of
the younger Democrats Of the Demo
cratic persuasion get into the running
Mr.. Hastings hat viii have the ring
all to itself.
In the mean time there is going to
be real opposition to the candidacy Of
Mr.. Hastings. Alfred L. Drury, one of
the best known of the younger attor-
neys of the city has announced that he
will seek the Republican nomination
and his nomination papers will be in
circulation within a few days. Mr..
Drury has been very active in the
practice of his profession in the past
four years in Kenosha and he is widely
known throughout the county He has
made study Of criminal law and is re-
garded as well fitted for the office of
district attorney.
Friends of Peter Fisher, Jr, are
urging him to come out as a candidate
for the Republican nomination for the
office, but he has not yet made formal
announcement of his candidacy. A
race between Mr.. Drury and Mr.. Fisher
would bring one of the most interesting
contests in the county.
The lines of the primary are being
rapidly drawn, and it is pretty certain
! that most of the candidates will be in
the field before the end of next week.
The only place which is now without a
candidate is the Democratic nomina-
tion for assemblyman, and it is ex-
pected that former Mayor Scholey will
announce his candidacy for this nomi-
nation just as soon as he returns from
Baltimore.

The city is about to give serious at
tention to the problem of protecting
the north shore and the inroads being
made by the lake show that the matter
is not being taken up any too soon.
Building breakwaters is expensive
business, but if the plan of creating a
district covering property to be bene-
flied by the proposed improvement
which may be assessed for part of the
cost works out, the breakwater can be
put in without putting too much of a
burden on either the city or the proper
ty owners.
