One man was brought up with a
round turn for breaking quarantine
Monday and his experience SHOULD be
warning enough to discourage any
further attempts along this lac. If it
is not, the quarantine officers now in
charge of enforcing the quarantine
regulations of the city are perfectly
willing and able to make any number
of arrests necessary. It is going to be
q hard matter to convince some people
who have become accustomed to re-
gard any regulation made by the city
or the health department. as more or
less of a joke that guarantees are
going to be enforced to the letter in
Kenosha from now on if it is a posi-
Bile thing to do so and the council has
any authority and that the old loose
methods are thing of the past, but it
can be DONE And it will not be neces-
sary to wait for the passage of new
ordinance by the council creating a
new board Of health commissioners to
make beginning either. The people
who have been needlessly exposed to
danger by the failure to enforce quar-
antine are not in mood to temporize
with this matter much longer.

INJUNCTION is SERVED.
City Attorney Notified That Miller In.
junction has Been Served.

City Attorney Calvin Stewart this
morning received formal notice from
Sheriff e. III. Ransom Of GAINESVILLE
that he had served on G. L. Miller the
injunction issued by the city to prevent
Miller entering into any sale of the
property north of the city sought by
the city as a hospital for patients suf-
fering with tuberculosis. Mr.. Miller
has not made any EFFORT to transfer the
property and of course under the in
junction any signing of deeds will have
to be held up until after the matter has
been settled in the courts. g. 2. Wal
Zig, who is also seeking the property,
mas not as yet started any legal pro-
coeding to secure deed under his al
legged contract with Miller. It is prob
able that some action in the matter
will be taken before the end of the
week. Mr.. Miller is planning to come
to Kenosha and it is possible that an
amicable settlement of the matter can
be made witout any one going into
court.

Kenosha Jared very we'll in the
recommendations of the committee
which is working out the new rivers
and harbor bill in congress, this port
being given $4,000 and if the bill
goes through without any change in
this item, as it is believed it will, it
may be possible to take up some of the
plans for the improvement of the har-
Dor which were recommended by the
engineers in charge of this district
years ago, The new work has to do
With the protection of the harbor from
the effects of the northeast seas and
when completed it will not only make
this port a much more valuable har-
Dor of refuge, but will very materially
reduce the cost OF maintenance. Fully
fifty per cent of the dredging that has
to be done every year is made neces-
sary by the seas rolling into the har-
Dor mouth from this direction and
while the business at this port does
not warrant any very large appropria-
tions at present, this expenditure
would be justified on the ground of
economy.

The members of the state highway
commission were much impressed with
the high character of the delegates at
tending the first session of the road
school held at Madison the first Of the
month as the representatives of fifty
four counties of the state. Almost
without exception, the delegates were
evidently men of standing and infu-
ence in their several communities and
the commission takes the attendance
of these men at the school and the
deep interest shown by them in all of
the sessions, as an indication of the
appreciation of the people Of Wiseon-
sin Of the importance of the work Of
road Improvement about to be under
taken under the supervision Of the
commission. The commissioners have
every right to be much encouraged at
the interest taken in the road school
and the fact that representative men
attended it for county boards of super
visors are not generally disposed to
make careful selections Of the mon to
hold offices created by the passage of
new laws by the legislature unless the
sentiment Of the communities they
represent is favorable to the enforce
ment of the new legislation. Look at
che farce some Of the county boards
made Of the appointment OF super
visors Of assessments when the full
value assessment law was first suppos-
ed to go into effect. There has been
nothing of the kind in the selection of
highway commissioners. In nearly
every instance men to, whose qualifica-
tions and fitness for the position no
exception could be taken have been
appointed and their selection is the
best guarantee that the counties are
prepared to support the good roads
movemen under state supervision.

The city council has nothing what
ever to do with granting easements
permitting the through cars of the M.
R, and K. company to reach the down
town district over the tracks of the
local street railway. That is matter
that is entirely between the property
owners and the railway. The council
and the industrial association can give
their moral support to the project and
use whatever influence they may have
in favor of it, but they have no rights
in the matter whatever. Those rest
with the property owners.

Vermont is waking with horror to
the realization that there is growing
up among her population a perilous
addiction to the use of habit forming
drugs. A member of the state board
Of pharmacy recently told the Rutland
Medical club that in that small city
Of only 1886 inhabitants there are
annually consumed about 100000 NOR
phine tablets-eighth, quarter and half
grain 100 ounces of morphine in tab
let form, and $4,000 tablets of heroin.
Hardly one-tenth of the morphine, he
added, is used to fill prescriptions, and
to q certain extent that is encourag-
ing, since it hghtens reproach which,
generally without warrant, is frequent
ly placed upon physicians. But it fol
lows that, since the doctors are not
at fault, responsibility for these evil
conditions rests the more heavily upon
all intelligent citizens.
Not only physical break down, but
decay of moral fiber is the unacceptable
penalty of the use Of most of these
dreadful preparations of the materia
medica. The increase of crimes of yio-
lence and of abnormaities of various
sorts, including insanity undoubtedly
is largely due to the use Of deleterious
drugs. French statisticians who are
familiar with what it has done and
fearful of what it may yet do to the
French nation, are under pail of
horror.
Massachusetts, a neighboring state,
has set Vermont a good example of
which Vermont would do well to avail
herself. The laws of Massachusetts
regulating the traffic in habit forming
lrngs are well drawn and rigidly en-
forced. They are worthy of emulation
by all American CONFERENCE.-The where
the insidious drug habit threatens to
make inroads The habit spreads bv
imitation - witness its prevalence
among students of medical colleges.
The best course is to keep it out-not
to let it get in and then try to drive
it out. An ounce Of prevention is worth
q round of cure.-Evening Wisconsin.

| The first of the notices sent out by
members of the retailers association
went through the mails Friday and it
must be said that they created some
thing of a sensation. 1t is reported
that some of the recipients of the no
tees were very indignant, but the
members of the association declare
that they have no grounds for any
complaint inasmuch as every delin-
quent in the city who is indebted to
Iany member of the association and
has made no effort to settle is to re-
ceiye exactly tha same treatment.
Few Of the retailers care to discuss
the matter in any way, but it is de-
clar5d that the retail merhants are de-
termined to cut down the amount of
their losses through bad debts and
that they have been practically forced
to take measures to protect themselves.
| 1t is certain that if the present plans
are carried out there will be tho
rough revision of the whole system Of
extending credit throughout the city
in every line of trade Furthermore
as there is to be no fixing of prices
or elimination of competition, the man
who pays his bills promptly will In
time reap some Of the BENEFITS of cut
ting off the burden of bad debts from
the merchants who must now get I'M
creased prices from their paying custo-
mers to cover losses. We do not be-
ieve that the man who is making on
honest effort to pay his debts will be
in the slightest danger of being an
noyed in any way by the collection
methods of the new association, but
we can see where the man who never
pays his bills if he can help it is 60
ing to have hard work to get away
with his system much longer.

NOT AFFECTED BY OTHER PACT
Easements Alone Will Effect Entrance
of Interurban Cars Into Kenosha and
Managers of the Company Hope to
Overcome ALI Opposition to Them.


pany is to present new franchise or
dlnance 10 the common council at its
session on next Monday evening when
the company will ask for the right to
| lay a. short track on Market street
east Of Main street for use of the
interurban car which it is proposed
to have run into the heart of the city.
This track will not be used for any
other purpose. At first it was thought
possible that it would not be necessary
to build any special track to take care
of the bic, car, but there has been
objections to the car being brought
down town and left on Market Square
and for this reason the company has
decided to make the spur track on
Market street. Alderman Rhode, the
owner of the Rhode Opera House de-
clared that he would net only give his
permission for such q line but that he
would build a station if necessary.
There seems to be quite little OBJ
position developing among the people
on Milwaukee avenue against the big
cars being run into the city and while
the people in the opposition have not
as yet given any strong reasons for
opposing the plan the easements are
not being signed as rapidly as they
were expected to be signed. The Of
ficials of the local company state that
the ordinance now pending before the
council will have nothing whatever to
do with the coming of the car down
town and that the easements are the
real thing in getting this car. The
proposed franchise for double tracks
on Main street and the track about
the park in Market Square will great
~ facilitate the operation Of the cars
on the local line and will make posi-
BILE better connections, but if the line
lis built On East Market street the
only portion of the city lines to be
used for the interurban cars will be
that portion between the corner of
Main and Market and the northern
limits eff the city.
The ordinance for the proposed
franchise will not come before the
council at the next meeting as it had
been published but once in the official
paper and under tine law it must have
two publications before it can be con-
sidered by Che council 1t is expected
that it will come up at the second
meeting in March. Thus far the COM
mittee named to consider tla ,,roblem
OF securing proper fare zone in
which the five cent fare would be
charged has not as yet held meeting
and it is not probable that such a
meeting will be held before the next
regular meeting of the city council.
Alderman Pirsch, the chairman of the
committee, is now out of the city and
will probably not return in time to
call his committee together before the
council meeting.
There seems to be an insistent de-
mand among the down town merchants
for the coming into the city of the
car from the north and it is probable
that activity will be started by these
men which will have tendency to CON
vince the north side people that it will
be to the interest Of all business i'm
the city to pave the way for the COM
ing Of the car.

ARREST FOR PEDDLER.
Chicago Man Pays Back Money Taken
for Watch More Than 5 Years Ago.

Samuel Greenberg, Chicago man,
was arrested by the police department
on Saturday evening charged with
peddling without a license. The man
had been selling cheap watches in the
city. After he had been in Jail for
forty eight hours he showed a willing
ness to make any possible settlement
with the city and even went SO far
as to pay back $40 which he had re-
ceived from Kenosha man five years
ago. Late Sunday the police permit
ted the man to put up deposit of SIS
and return to Chicago. In the NUM-
cipal court this morning he was fined

WOMEN KEEPING BUSY.
Farmers Being Urged to Support the
Cause of Suffrage at Institutes.

CduSE oI outrage dt 1IiSbltuUco'
One of the present methods pursued
by the Political Equality league is
sending out entertaining speakers to
address farmers Institutes. Miss Alice
Curtis has addressed several and is
now in Darlington. She is being as
sisted by DR.. Cook of Darlington and
together they are organizing a county
league in Green county. A. Fl, Bart
lett will address the farmers institute
at Juda, Green county, today. Miss
Harriet Grimm is also touring the
state addressing Institutes and will ap-
pear before the far ers institute at
GAINESVILLE on Feb. %.
Anent the institutes the farmers are
not always willing to find places on
their programs for woman's suffrage
talk, and it sometimes taxes the in
genuity of the suffragettes to know
how to circumvent the farmers lack of
interest in their cause. Mrs. e. S.
Jordon of Kenosha was delegated to
present the cause of woman IS suffrage
before the Kenosha farmers institute.
She was informed that the program
was so filed with things Of such vital
interest to the farmer that time could
hardly be spared for anything more.
CT
Shortly after the session opened on the
first morning of the institute the pre-
siding officer received and read the
following telegram from Mrs. Jordan
Will you please call attention of
the farm owners of Kenosha county
to the campaign now being conducted
by the women of Wisconsin in support
OF the amendment which was passed
by both houses of the legislature
granting votes to women. This will
be referred to the people for approval
next November. The more you study
the question the more clearly you will
see that the interests of the women of
the city are identical with the inter
ests of the farm owners. In every
state where it has been carried the
farmers have voted solidly for it. y

If the woman's suffrage movement
is successful in this state it will owe
much to the press of Wisconsin.
Every paper in the state is giving
much of its space to, a full and free
discussion of the enfranehisement Of
women and will doubtless continue to
do SO as the campaign progresses.

$4,000 FOR KENosHA HARBoR.

Maintenance of the Local Harbor.

The new river and harbcr bill which
is to be presented to congress some
time this week will contain an item
of $4,000 for the maintenance of the
Kenosha harbor and Kenosha has Jared
well in the recommendations Of the
committee. It is. not known what use
will be made of the appropriation, but
it is expected that it will be used in
part at least in carrying out sugges-
tions that have been made to get rid
Of the influence Of the northeast
storms.
The Wisconsin items are as follows:
Superior Duluth harbor, $150000; Port
Wing harbor, $4,000; Ashland harbor,
$4,000; Menominee harbor and river,
$4,000; Green Bay harbor, $4,000;
Kewaunee harbor, 10000; Two Rivers
harbor, $500; sheboygan barbor,
1926, 900; Port Washington harbor,
$4,000, and Kenosha harbor, $4,000.
All of the items except Sheboygan
are for maintenance and continuing
improvement on existing projects. At
Sheboygan the project for extensions
of the north breakwater to the shore
line, at cost of 100000, was adopt
ed. The sl25,ooo appropriated is all
that can be expended on the work dur
ing The coming year and until the
next river and harbor bill is reported
Sufficient funds are OH hand for the
