MRS. BISHOP IS DEAD
Wife of State Senator Isaac
[. Bishop Died at Her
Home Thursday.
LONG RESIDENT OF THE COUNTY

Mrs. Lydia Clemens Bishop, aged SIS
years, wife of State Senator Isaac T..
Bishop, died at the Bishop family
home in the town of Somers at four
o o'clock Thursday afternoon after a
long illness from a complication of
diseases. Mrs. Bishop only short
time ago was brought home from a
hospital in Milwaukee where she had
submitted to an operation and at the
time of her return the relatives had
been hopeful of her recovery. At the
same time Senator Bishop had been
very i'll in the hospital. Since the re-
turn to the old home Mrs Bishop had
been growing weaker and her death
was not unexpected. Mrs. Bishop had
spent large portion Of her life in
the town of Somers and was widely
known and deeply loved among the
people o. that section of the county
She was a daughter Of the late Hosea
and Eliza Clemens and was born at
Oswego, N. Y, July 8, 1916. Mrs.
bishop was a woman of high educa-
tional attachments and distinctly a
woman of the home. She was an ac-
tive member of the Methodist church
and had been very influential in the
work Of the church at Somers. She
is survived by her husband and three
sons, A. A. Bishop of Racine, Prof. Ed
win Bishop Of Chicago, and Benjamin
Bishop, who lives at the old home in
Somers.
The death of Mrs. Bishop came as a
terrible shock to the senator.

The results Of the operation OF the
weights and measures law are silenc-
ing all criticism Of that measure and
it's value to the people Of the state
can hardly be overestimated. During
the first three months the law has been
in operation the state inspectors made
something over $4,000 tests and very
nearly 35 per cent of the weights and
measures tested we've found detective !:
one third Of the devices in use cheat
ed either the buyer or seller. It is not
necessary for the inspectors to present
any figures to show that the consume
or got the worst of the defects in the
majority of the cases coming under
the observation of the inspectors. The
lowing madet is sufficient to justify
the passage Of much more drastic
measure than the one now in force and
many of the people who have been in
clined to believe that the law was too
stringent have changed their views
completely and no law that could be
drawn for their protection would be
too strong for them now. The figures
so far bear out all that was said of
conditions by the advocates of the law
when the measure was under consid-
Grafton in the legislature.

AS the result of the total disregard
Of the rights of pedestrians by many
skaters an ordinance was presented to
the council at the meeting Monday
evening which forbids roller skating
on any of the walks of the city The
ordinance was promptly laid on the
table, but the aldermen admit that if
the complaints continue some action
will have to be taken by that body
in the near future. The members Of
the council would be loath to move in
the matter for if an ordinance is
passed it must be drawn to cover all
sections of the city and apply to all
alike and that would mean the Danish
ment of the children from the walks
as well as the young hoodlums who
have been making all the trouble.
Nobody wants to deprive the children
of their pleasure even those who have
suffered most from the actions of the
older skaters and it has been suggest
ed that a vigorous campaign by the
police department. might render un-
necessary such drastic measure as
the passage of a special ordinance
dealing with the skaters. Certainly
the police should be given an oppor-
tunity to try what they can do before
the children are chased off the walks
and disorderly conduct charge could
be made to fit all of the complaints
made so far. If few stiff fines fail
to have the desired effect of convine-
ing the skaters that pedestrians still
have right to use the walks then
60 ahead with the ordinance just pre-
sented.

PROTECT GRADE CROSSINGS.
State Railroad Commission Stimulated
by Road Accidents.

The state railroad commission IS
waging a campaign against the dan
gerous railroad crossings. Assisted by
the engineering force, one Of the COM
missioners has devoted several months
investigating the fituation. More
than 1000 crossings are considered
dangerous and it is the intention to
make these as safe as possible this
year. Automobile danger signals, in
Guiding electric alarm bells and illu-
minated signs, are being installed at
all dangerous crossings that are not
guarded by watchmen The separa.
ton Of grades is being ordered wher-
ever it can be without undue hardship
on the railway companies. Obstruc-
lions that interfere with the view Of
the tracks near crossings are being re
moved. The activity in this direction
has been stimulated by the increased
number Of crossing accidents during
the last few months.

Northwestern Increases Its
Mileage Between Racine
and Milwaukee.
CLAIM ERROR LONG MISSING

For years and years the Northwest
ern railroad has been operating trains
over the tracks between Kenosha
and Milwaukee, believing the distance
between Racine and Milwaukee to
be only twenty-three miles, and
therefore only charging the fare for
that distance.
Now it seems that the railroad has
suddenly discovered that there is
| twenty four miles between the two
Wisconsin cities, and they have added
an extra, two cents to the regular fare.
Just how and when the discovery
was made is not known, local ticket
agents being unable to explain, it, ex-
icept from deduction. They have re-
ceived orders to charge the extra two
cents on all fares hereafter. AS the
state railroad commission does not al
low a railroad to charge more than
two cents a mile the only reason for
the addition to the fare is that the
railroad company has discovered an
other mile between Racine and Mil
waukee.
It is said by some that the state
railroad commission has made a re-
adjustment of fares on the two roads,
and has authorized the extra two cent
charge This does not seem feasible,
However, as if the increase in fare was
made between Racine and Milwaukee,
lit would necessarily mean that there
4 would be decrease between Racine
and Chicago. That is not the case,
however, the fare to Chicago still re-
mains the same.
The matter was much discussed to-
day, it being considered remarkable
that the railroad company should OPP
crate trains all these years on the
tracks between the two cities, and
just now discover that the distance
was twenty-four instead Of twenty
three miles.
The discovery of the extra mile
means four cents out Of the pocket of
every passenger travelling to Milwau-
kee and return, and will net the rail
road company hundreds of dollars
yearly,

KNIGHTS Go TO RACINE.
Members Of Eenosha Council Put on

A great crowd of the members or
the kenosha council Of the Knights of

A poll by the New York World in
dieates that the majority Of the mem
bers of the national house favor the
proposed amendment limiting the
president to single term Of six years
and thus doing away with personal or
other campaigns by chief magistrates
of the nation for their denomination
and reelection. In the senate the
judiciary committee has voted to re-
port such a resolution favorably, and
it will undoubtedly be adopted.
Several presidents have heartily in
dorsed this idea. Jackson was the
first and Taft the last Of these. Presi-
dents are only human, and when sore
~ tempted they may fall, like the rest
of us. The system which tempts them
to think of bills in terms of "poli-
ties which leads to misuse of pat
ronage, to neglect of business, is a bad
one. 1t, and not this or that individ-
ual president, is to be charged with
many Of the things which we deplore
IN presidential politics. The move
ment for an amendment giving the
president a single six-year term with
out the possibility of reelection at
any time is non-partisan and progress
sive It should be treated as such 1t
is a movement in the interest of ef-
fciency, dignity, fidelity, independence
in the executive department Of our
government. Sober-minded citizens
now appreciate its Importance and real
significance. The time has come to
take up the single-term question and
settle it in harmony with the lessons
Of experience and the dictates Of COM
mon sense and political science.

TYPHOID Turks IN LAKE WATER
Examination by Racine Chemist Shows
Presence of s'Gas Forming Matter
in Water Taken from Lake-May
Name New Committee.

The members of the city council are
being urged to get busy and take some
faction leading to the installation OF a
filter to cleanse the water used in Ke-
nosha and the special committee which
was in charge Of the investigation
started STONE time ago is being urged
to make report. Chemist Thofke1-
Esen Of Racine, has made an examine
tion Of many samples of water taken
f from the lake off Racine and Keno
sha and his report shows that typhoid
germs Turk in the water and that most
of il is unfit fo1 use without first
being boiled.
The examination of the water show
ed the presence of much organic mat
ter and '1gas formers. It is held
that the gas formers are particularly
productive of typhoid fever. Keno
sha has not been free Of typhoid fever
/ in years and the number of cases
seems to be showing slight in
crease annually. 'nlIe few deaths
have been caused by the disease in
the past year there is no telling when
Kenosha may have an epidemic of the
disease that will be as disastrous as
the recent scarlet fever epidemic.
The officials Of the city were warned
of the danger from scarlet fever and
failed tc heed the warning. Now they
are being warned of the dangerous
typhoid.
The special committee in charge of
the investigation of the building of a
! filter was headed by Alderman James
! Filbin, but at the last election NUM-
Der of the members Of the committee
failed to secure reelection and it
will be up to the council to name a
new committee or fill the vacancies on
the old committee. The committee
has done considerable work and has
| a lot Of data to turn over to the coun-
| ell in regard to the ACCESSIBILITY of
building filter at this time but plans
were laid for visits to several other
cities which were not made. Evans
ton is going through the same troubles
as Kenosha and it is fought that the
local committee will be able to get a
! lot of information from the Evanston
officials to aid them in making a-solu-
tion of the big problem.
! In the meantime the question of
financing the building Of the filter has
Fbeen discussed and it is certain that
a portion Of the money needed could
be secured from the funds of the wat
er company and the remainder could
be raised by issuing bonds either
against the water plant or against all
the property of the city.
The people of the city are now de-
manding the installation of the filter
and even though it may demand furth
er bond issues it is thought that the
council working with the board OF
water commissioners will see the neces
sity of getting the work started SC
that the filter may be put in the early
part of next year if not during the
present year. From the figures that
have been secured it is thought that
the cost of a filter would be in the
neighborhood of 100000.

WOULD SAVE BIRDS.
To Have Bells on Cats to Give Birds
Warning of Danger.

A Kenosha woman whose heart was
made sad at seeing cat kill three
robbins one day last week, suggests
that there be city law requiring
those who keep eats to make the
felines wear bells, as warning to
birds, Of the presence of the enemy.
This lady says that she has lived in a
city where this requirement was made
Of cat owners, and it was a good thing
for the bird life of the place. Tiny
bells can be procured and fastened to
the neck of the cat and the tinkling
will warn the bird in time to save it
from the clutches of the cat. The lady
who suggests this bell method of
warning to the bird is in earnest and
her proposition is not Joke. The
family cat is now the principal enc
my of birds in Kenosha. People are
becoming the protectors of birds, but
the conservation spirit has not been
manifested to any large degree on the
part of Kenosha $ feline population
There are those who recommend that
la heavy stone be tied on the neck. of
the family cat and it be thrown into
the deep blue river, but all families
are not coneurring in this proposition
and the bell question is worthy Of
thought. The city might lay in a
stock Of tiny cat bells and sell them
las cat licenses. Those who love birds
more than cats have good mission to
undertake in creating bell sentiment
among cat owners IN Kenosh.

TO BETTER WESTERN SERVICE
Regular Summer Train to Go on First
Of the Month but People Must go to
Commission If Further Concessions
are to be Secure from Company.

The Northwestern Railway Com
pany has sent formal reply to the
committee of the Kenosha Industrial
Association which recently went to
Chicago to present a petition seeking
better services on the western divi-
sion of the line and this reply indi-
Gates that if the people of Kenosha
county are to secure any great i'm
provement over present conditions it
will be necessary for them to fight the
matter out before the Wisconsin Rail
road Commission.
In the reply the officials of the rail
way company do not even mention the
suggestion made that gasoline motor
cars be put in operation between Ke-
nosha and Genoa Junction and this
suggestion was evidently dropped af
ter the meeting of the committee and
the officials. The company holds that
the traffic on the western division
would not stand for great increase
in the service at the present time, but
lit is stated that by the first of June
or very soon after that date another
train will be put on the run. This
train is practically the same train that
has been run by the company during
the summer months for years. 1t will
leave Kenosha some time about nine
0 clock in the morning and will re-
turn from the west in the afternoon.
The company suggests in the ans
Wer to the committee that it might be
possible to arrange to have this train
so as to have it arrive in Kenosha
after seven O'Clock in the evening.
This would give the Kenosha peo-
pie visiting the resorts in the western
part of the county the chance to re-
main at the resort until after supper
in the evening and it would be a well
come Improvement over the service of
last year. The company states that
no other train can be put on, but that
an effort will be made to make the
service on this train a high grade
service. The installation Of this train
will make four trains daily on The
division, two from each direction. 1t
will help the resort business material
ly, but for general service it will not
be any great improvement. The COM
pany is not willing to state that this
train will be left on the run for the
entire year and the order provides for
the running of the train only during
the summer months.
The chance of securing any other
new service to the west now seems to
be pretty well closed up. The Milwau
kee Electric Railway and Light Com
pany has declared that suggested plans
of building an electric line to the west
is not feasible. An appeal on the
part Of the people to the railroad COM
mission might bring results but the
attorneys who have been interested
in the matter fear that the demand
for service will not be sufficient to
bring decided action from the commits
sion but that a complaint might result
in the so-called "summer train be-
ing run the year around.
