MUST CHOOSE EARLY
Kenosha People to Express
Choice for President at
Spring Election.
MANY NAMES GO ON BALLOT

Under new law the spring election
has been raised almost to the dignity
of a presidential election.
At the spring election, April End,
the voter as heretofore will vote his
own town ticket, but in addition, each
voter will be given ballot contain
ing the names of the Democratic and
Republican candidates for the presi-
dency. The voter will express his
choice among the candidates of his
own party. He can express but one
choice. This is done by placing cross
{x) or other symbol within the circle
after the name of his choice.
In addition to the names of the
candidates there will also be found on
the ticket the names of the candidates
for district delegates and delagates-at-
large for each of the several presi-
Dental candidates both Democratic
and Republican. The delegates elect
ed will go to the national convention
of their respective parties and name
the party's candidate for president
and vice president.
AS these delegates are not legally
bound to vote for the candidate en-
dorsed by the people, the voters should
naturally vote for the delegates who
stand as the candidates for the oandi-
date for his choice FOR the presidency.

The first thaw of the season gave a
great impetus to the demands for
sewers in the western part of the city
and it is evident that the properly
owners in the newly built up sections
are going to take advantage Of the
facilities offered them by the building
of the trunk line sewer just as soon
as possible and have their cross Sec
ton sewers built Immediately. It is
not probable that this or any succeed
ing administration will put any OBJ
stacles in the way of their getting
what they want either and fair pro-
portion of the cost of the big sewer
to the city will be recovered in year
or two. The rates are high enough in
the new sections SO that the property
owners who come in now pay their
proportion of the cost Of the improve
ment levied on the city as a whole in,
addition to the cost Of the intersect-
ing sewers. When a number Of these
sewers are completed those sections
which have been flooded every spring
and fan not orSa hpt dozens of times
will have as good drainage as any part
of the city. They win appreciate it
TOO.

People Insist Health Depart
ment Is Removing Quar-
antines Too Soon.
THINK DANGER NEARLY over

Complaints are being made to Of
ficials of the city that guarantees for
scarlet fever are being lifted too early
and it is declared that at least one
case of the disease is attributed to a
lack of care along this line. IN the
case in question a little girl had been
| i'll with the disease and when the case
was terminated by the physician the
health department. went and fumigat-
| ed the house and the child, who had
been ill, was sent to the home of a
relative to remain until after the
work of fumigating was over. In
just five days a member of the family
where the little girl had bse1 left,
was taken with scarlet fever. The
case is not regarded as a serious one.
1t is claimed that under the new
system of the board of health there
will be no danger of a repetition Of
this kind of work as before any case
| is terminated in the future culture
lof the throat Of the patient will be
made and the house will not be fumi-
gated until the health officer as well
as the physician in charge Of the case
| is certain that there will be no further
danger from infection
No new cases Of either scarlet fever
or diphtheria were reported this morn
! ing, but three cases were reported on
| Friday. Conditions in Kenosha are
found to be very similar with those in
Racine and other cities. In Racine
sixteen cases of diphtheria were re-
ported during the month of January,
but there were no deaths from the
disease. 1T is claimed that the cases
| that have been quarantined as diph-
liberia in Racine are very similar to
the cases quarantined as scarlet fever
in Kenosha.
Physicians in Kenosha declare that
the conditions here are greatly i'm
proved. There have been no deaths
from the disease since last Tuesday
and for the most part the eases are
declared to be of very mild form.
One or two cases are appearing in
other districts of the city. The south
side reported two cases on Friday, but
lit is said that at least one Of these
was traced directly to the epidemic
that has prevailed OH the west side.
Physicians declare that the accepted
theory that cold weather kills the
germs of these diseases is mistake
and that the epidemic in Kenosha will
not disappear until the disease has
worn itself out. It is declared that
tile prevalence of the disease mere has
been abnormallv long and the physi-
clans feel confident that with proper
quarantine restrictions and with prop
er care on the part of the officials
along other lines Kenosha win soon
be free from danger.

In the following editorial the Sat-
urday Evening Post points out the
danger in condition that is attract
ing the attention of economists all over
the world. The writer might have
gone farther and shown that this ex-
travagance which is cutting into the
life insurance is not peculiar to this
country, but is general in all countries
The craze for Injuries is not confined
10 this country by any means, but it
Is perhaps more general in the United
States. And it is to supply 1uxEries
that these loans are made. In nine
rases out of ten any man who has
been carrying life insurance long
enough to enable him to secure a loan
on his policy fro mthe company is well
enough established in the community
in which he lives to secure any amount
needed from his local bank whose Of
ficials are familiar with his circum-
stances and manner of living without
putting up his policies. The great ma
lority of the men who HhockO their
policies do not care to have their
banker know anything about it, The
editorial says:
Five years ago two of the largest
old line life insurance companies had
outstanding loans % policyholders
amounting to seyenty-fve million dol
lars. At the close of 1911 the same
companies loans to policyholders
amounted to almost two hundred mill
lion dollars. 1t is the experience of
life insurance companies that, about
nine times out of ten, loan on a
policy is never repaid, but remains as
liability, to be deducted from the
policy at the death of the insured
About nine times out of ten, there
fore, a man who takes loan on his
policy is simply borrowllg from his
own widow and orphans.
Old line life insurance is carried al
most exclusively by people whose in
comes considerably exceed their act
ual people who are regarded by
their less fortunate neighbors as in
quite easy circumstances. So far as
life insurance men can judge, a large
number Of the lens on policies come
under the head OF Injuries. They are
not made for business purposes or to
meet an emergency which could not be
overcome by some self denial on the
part Of the policyholder.
Extravaganza in the United States
Is not q vice Of the rich, for they can
afford it. 1t is not vice of the poor
or Of farmers. 1t is the special vice
OF that large middle, urban class with
Incomes ranging from twenty-five humid

LIKES MOODMAN INCREASE
Members of Order Urged Not to Drop
Their Insurance and Rates are De-
ciared to be Fair in Accordance With
Tables Prepared by the State.

| The Wisconsin state insurance COM
missioner has sent out notice in re-
| gard to the, new rates proposed for the
Modern Woodmen of America, and in a
formal statement sent out from the de-
lpartment today members of the order
are advised not to drop their fraternal
insurance. At the recent meeting in
Chicago H. L. Ekern, insurance COM
missioner Of Wisconsin, was one Of the
most active supporters of the proposed
new rates and he was heard in defense
of them on the floor of the head camp
session The statement sent out from
| the department to the members of the
Kenosha camp today follows:
"Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on sound basis.
This means a re-rating for nearly
every society, and members who do
mot fully understand the situation are
often inclined to complain of increases
in their rates. They should understand
that with a re-rating on a sound basis
they have a much more valuable insur-
ance than before. The man who has no
family or dependents, and does not ex-
Ipect to have any, is the only one who
can afford to drop his insurance. If
the rate is high the older men espe-
cially may find it better to take a
smaller amount of insurance. All are
benefited by getting a permanent in
surance for what was uncertain be-
fore.
"Under our new law the facts as to
every society must now be brought
home to all members, and these facts
will compel every society to go upon
an adequate basis. Ever since 1907 the
National Fraternal congress rate has
been the lowest rate permitted by the
Wisconsin law to any new society. This
means that no society can be organized
in or admitted to Wisconsin on any
lower rates than those charged by the
societies re-rating. The Modern Wood
men Of America, bysreason of its long
experience with a large membership,
is permitted to make rate upon its
own experience, which is even lower
than that based on the National Fra
ternal Congress.
HEThe cost of this insurance is not
La matter of mortality tables or rates
charged, but depends upon the actual
deaths in the society. A re-rating mere
ly means that each member shall pay
his real share of that cost. Even as a
matter Of dollars and cents, members
of re-rating societies should continue
their insurance, because their rates will
be as low as any that can be offered
ir this state for tne same kind of in
suance by any permanent society, and
becausesany member changing from one
society to another pays something more
in the first cost of getting into the
society or securing other insurance
Members who think of dropping their
insurance will do well to take enough
time to study the question before do
ing anything which may bring regret to
both themselves and their families,
