CHAPTER III.
A PLASTER sTATUETTE.

WATERFALLS view from his
club window afforded the same
impersOnal outlook as from a
window in a car. 1t was the
two living currents, moving in OppO-
site directions, each making toward a
similar goal only in million different
ways, that absorbed him. He had seen
all manner of crowds, armies pursuing
and retreating, vast cOncOrds in public
squares, at cOrOnatiOnS, at cataStrO-
Plies, at play, and he never lost in
terest in watching them; they were
the great expressions of humanity.
This is perhaps the reason why his
articles were always so rich in color.
No two crowds were ever alike to him,
consequently he never was at loss for
a fresh description.
Today the Italian vender Of plaster
statuetteS caught his eye. For an hour
now the poor wretch hadn't even drawn
the attention Of one of the thousands
passing. Fitzgerald felt sorry for him,
and once the desire came to go over
and buy out the Neapolitan; but he
was too comfortable where he was
and, beyond that, he was expecting a
friend.
Fitzgerald was thirty, with clean
shaver, lean and eager face, russell in
tone, well Offset by the fine blue eyes
which had the faculty of seeing little
and big things at the same time He
was free lance in all the abused word
implies, and he lived as he pleased.

carelessly, knowing that the little his
father had left him would keep a mod

but the food from the pewter one he
now used tasted just as good

The continued spread of the scarlet
fever and the proven inability of the
city authorities or the health DEPART
ment to meet this emergency in any
way is exciting general alarm and APP
prehension in all parts Of the city.
There is NO intention to exaggerate
the seriousness, of the situation, but
there is a very general belief among
those who are familiar with conditions
in the city that it is impossible to ex-
aggerate it and that the people of the
city should be made acquainted with
the dangers they are facing, especially
those who have children, that they
may take all possible precautions to
avoid being exposed to the disease.
The people of Kenosha have had
about enough Of the incompetence
which trifes with human life and they
are about ready to demand the inter-
vention of the state board Of health.
1t might be humiliating to our civic
pride to have to call on the state for
help, but if that is the only place
where we can look for effective meas
ures to check the spread Of the fever
and diphtherfa by all means turn to
the state board before any more child
rem IS lives are sacrificed.

nomination for state treasurer are
State Senator Henry Krumrey and

As to the rival congressional can

Toilette leaders il is admitted that
the Strengthening out Of these tangles
will take time and patience. If a
movement is, however, started for the
elimination Of rival candidates from
the progressive ranks for state nomi-

to believe the congressional situation
also can finally be reached.
1t can be said the political leaders
OF all factions and parties are watch
ing these halfbreed elimination moves
with interest. They certainly do not
show much faith by the LaFollette
men in the Mary Ann law.

The question of vocational schools
is just now absorbing the attention of
the leading educators of this and

Of this problem very closely. If the

Of tat of manufacturers everywhere,
and we belieyeit is, any plan that APP

Road Association Ready to
Hear Demands of, Racine
and Kenosha Men.
WANT CITIES TO AID IN WORK

promoters OF the proposed highway
between Milwaukee and Chicago held
sessions in Milwaukee on Tuesday and
Wednesday, but no final action was
taken in regard to the selection of the
route for the proposed road. Theodore
Bornp represented Kenosha at the
various organization meetings and he
is convinced that the promoters of
the company are willing to meet the
people Of Racine and Kenosha half
way in an effort to get some agree
tnent by which the road can be chang
ed so that the route of it will 90
through the towns along the lake
shore. The Kenosha committee to looh
into the matter Is John NJ. Kshior,
Dan O. Head, Russell I'll. Jones and
Theodore Borup and these men will
take UP the matter with the Kenosha
business men the coming week and
seek to create q new sentiment in
favor of the road. The promoters in
sist that IL the road is to go through
the lake shore cities the people of
these cities must have some part in
raising funds for the building Of the
road.
In speaking Of the matter, Mr..
Borup said: eve don It want the peo-
pie of Kenosha to get the wrong idea
lin regard to the proposed building Of
the road. People in western towns Of
the various counties to be passed
through by the road are making in
ducements to the association to lay
out a road which will include the Kill
bourne road and there is no denying
the fact that such route has advant-
ages. But the men who are leading
in the movement are not seeking to
shut out Racine, Kenosha and other
cities. They want these cities to be a
part Of the system and get such bene-
fits as may come from such road,
but they also want these people to
show an interest in the work that is
to be done. The men in these cities
have been luke warm on the PROPOSE
tion and SO far as I can learn they
have done little to boost the proposed
plan. If Kenosha and Racine men get
together with a realization of the
value of such road through the cities
and show the interest that should be
shown / am confident that the men in
charge will meet them half way
No date has been set for the next
melting of the association, but the
chairman will call it within short
time and it is probable that at that
meeting the final route for the road
will be selected and then the work
will go forward. It is expected that
town boards in several of the towns
will offer to give financial aid while
in other towns individual property
owners have made proposition to pay
a portion If not all the cost Of the
road Improvement in front Of their
own property. The association expects
to have the work Of building the road
well under way by the middle Of July
and if possible the greater portion of
it will be completed this year.
