1t is a fine commentary upon the
law and upon the ability of men to
govern themselves. ...5 r.
1t is especially an Illuminating COM
mentary on the whole race-hatred
movement. It indicates that the real
desire is to Inch a Negro and not
particularly to punish the man guilty
of crime. It shows how debased a
man can become through hatred, and
makes one pause and wonder whether
civilization may work it's way out on
this continent when such savagery
can dominate whole communities of
men. ..... 49,.
Mob murder is worse than individ-
ual murder, and yet it is seldom pun
ished. .....-
In this case an innocent citizen,
supposed to have the protection eof
the law, was ruthlessly slaughtered
to make a holiday for a frenzied,
shouting mass of half-crazed men,
drunk with lust for blood through a
fostering of race hatred. Nothing can
undo that crime, nothing give back
that life. Yet the law complacently
beholds these maniacs proceeding
about their business and makes no
effort to apprehend them for their
awful crime.
It seems inevitable that some day
the government itself will have to de-
wise a way to prevent this disregard
Of law and justice and decency if
communities are unwilling or help
less.-St. Paul Dispatch.
The foregoing editorial, which we
republish in it's entirety, strikes right
at the root of the mob murder and
is one of the very best that we have
seen. We hope it will bear good
fruit. .7

ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S
SHAME

Seven years have passed since the
bloody massacre of innocent Afro
Americans at Atlanta, Georgia, and
we reprint Du Bois' famous "A Litany
of Atlanta" that the race may not for
get the awful days when Colored men,
women and children were shot down
like dogs because of their race. Not
single person who. was killed had
been guilty of any crime whatever.
The massacre was caused by the in
cendiary editorials of the Atlanta
News and Journal, owned by Hoke
Smith, since Governor of Georgia and
now United States senator from that
state
In his gubernatorial canvass Smith
also made incendiary speeches incit-
ing the Caucasians against Afro-Amer-
leans and demanding that the race be
disfranchised. This has since been
done by legislative enactment.
Senator Hoke Smith is said to be
the author of the Jim crow policy of
the present administration and he has
the active support of Vardaman, Hef-
lin, Roddenbery and nearly every
Southerner in Congress.
Every Afro-American parent ought
to bring "a Litany of Atlanta" to the
attention of his children. Let them
commit it to memory-it is a gem of
perfect English. Let it burn into the
souls of your children so that they
may know that in it's efforts to de.
grade the Colored race and REFUGE Ii
to condition not far removed from
slavery, the South does not hesitate
to murder innocent men, women and
children.

WILL OPEN HOSPITAL
Special Committee of Coun-
Gil to Equip Washington
Home for Isolation.
TO FIGHT OUT THE QUESTION

The city of Kenosha is to convert
the old Washington Home on Wash
ington Island into an isolation hospl-
tai and the special committee of the
common council and the board of
health named some time ago to have
charge Of that work will get busy at
once. The council has made an appro-
priation of $1,000 to the committee
and it is thought that this will be
sufficient to provide for changes in the
interior of the building and for the
installation Of suitable heating and
ventilating plant. 1t is expected that
there will be opposition to the opening
of the hospital on the island, but the
committee has gone carefully into the
legal points involved in the contro-
versy and has been advised that the
city has the right under the law to
open and maintain the hospital. 1t is
certain that opposition would develop
to any site selected by the city for
the hospital and it is thought that the
Washington Island property owned by
the city is an ideal spot for the ear
ing for the children suffering from
contagious disease. 1t is not expect
ed that the United States government
will take any action to stop the open
ing of the institution on account of
the fact that it is near the Buildings
owned by the government. The plans
for the rebuilding Of the Washington
Home are in the hands Of the commit
tee at this time and they will make
possible an isolation hospital which
will offer care for from twelve 10
fifteen patients. The only other prop
osition considered by the committee
was a proposition from the directors
Of the Kenosha hospital. The direc-
tors offered to permit the city to erect
hospital for contagious diseases on
the same lot as the Kenosha hospital
with the understanding that the build
ing would not cost less than $4,000
and that the nurses in charge Of the
hospital should be employed to take
care Of the isolation hospital. The
committee is hopeful thai the building
can be made ready within the next
ninety days.

Census Bureau Considering
Plan to Have Mail Car
riers Take 1920 Census
BIG SAVING FOR GOVERNMENT

That Uncle Sam should use his mail
carriers for the gathering of the CEN
sus is the recommendation made by
United States Census Director Durand,
in his annual report to the secretary
of commerce and labor which was
made public here today.
Director Durand thinks that Uncle
Sam will not only save much money,
but will get more accurate statistics
if he impress his mail carriers into
this service. He points out that the
plan is especially feasable in respect
Of rural mail carriers. He says the
chief objection to the present system
is that the supervisors and enumera-
tors are almost entirely inexperienced
in the work.
Regarding the cost of the thirteenth
decennial census, the report states
that the grand total expenditure from
July i, 1909 to June 30, 1912, was
$15,171, SOB; of which $7,223,385 was
expended for the field work Salaries
of supervisors and enumerators, etc.,
1921 ,446 for compilation and publ
cation of statistics, and $1,676,762, for
annual and other Investigations of the
permanent bureau of census not con-
nected with the decennlal census. The
total appropriation receipts, etc., were
$15,175, 4s7.
The bureau of census was mainly oc-
cupied during the fiscal year of 1912
in the compiling of the results of the
thirteenth census, but also the annual
work required under the permanent
census act was carried TN as usual.
| The total census force of December
81, 1912, numbered S13 with 742
special agents additional stationed in
| the southern states to collect statistics
of cotton.
On the subject of appropriations the
report states that the bureau IS esti-
mates of expenditures for the fiscal
year 1913 was $1,612,440. The total
appropriation by congress for the year
was $1,548,920. Included in this
amount were 100000 for the employ
ment of temporary clerks to complete
the thirteenth census work, and
$272,000 for the printing of reports.
The estimates for the work of the
bureau for the fiscal year 1914 amount
ed to $1,238,320, a net decrease as
compared with the appropriation made
for the previous year.

a PASSENGERS NEAR DEATH
Martin, Charles Carstersen, Burll Car
penter and William Schnuckle Have
Narrow Escape From Death Two
Men Seriously Injured by Glass.

Four Kenosha men had narrow es-
cape from death just after ten O'Clock
Thursday night when an automobile
driven by Frank Martin went into the
ditch on the Birch road, just west
of the junction of the road and the
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Rail
way tracks. Martin was the only
member of the party to escape with
out injuries and the other members of
the party are today suffering from
severe bruises and from being cut with
glass from broken wind shield
The cause of the accident is not
known. Martin was at the wheel and
had with him as passengers William
Schnuckle, proprietor of the Palace
Livery Stables; Charles Carstersen,
proprietor of the Hotel Jacobs, and
Burll Carpenter, formerly employed as
a bartender at the same hotel. The
members of the party had left Keno
sha just after nine o. clock and had
planned to make an automobile trip to
the village Of Somers. At the time
of the accident the car was running
at good rate of speed. Martin had
all the lights ON the car in working
order and his companions claim that
he was driving with caution One of
the members of the party believed
that mistake in roads had been made
and had asked Martin to turn around
and he started to slow down to turn
when without any warning the auto
mobile left the road and went into the
ditch. At this point the ditch is about
seven feet deep and the car buried it.
self in the bottom of it. Martin in
some miraculous manner managed to
get out from behind the wheel and he
was thrown from the car striking on
the frozen ground, but he was unin-
jured. Carpenter and Schnuckle were
the most seriously injured members of
the party. Both of them got mixed
up in the broken wind shield Of the
car and both were cut by the broken
glass. Carstersen was thrown over the
wind shield and he had both Of his
legs badly bruised by falling on the
frozen ground in a field along the side
of the road AS soon as possible Mar
tin went to the nearest telephone and
managed to get help from the city
An automobile was sent out to bring
in the injured man and later efforts
were made to pull the damaged auto
mobile out of the ditch.
The automobile was wrecked. AS is
usual in such cases not great deal
of information was available as to the
manner in which the accident occur
red. Both Schnuckle and Carpenter
are confined to their homes today and
it is probable that they will be laid
up for some time as a result of the ac-
cident The automobile was a Buick
touring car with capacity of four
passengers. It is said that the car is
damaged to the extent Of several
hundred dollars.

The police department can do lit
tie advance missionary work for the
coming summer campaign by making a
few arrests for violation of the speed
laws just to remind some Of the driv-
ers that the laws are in full force and
effect the year around. The coming
of the winter weather does not seem
to have decreased the dangers of the
streets for pedestrians any for while
there are fewer machines in use than
during the summer and fall some of
those that do use the streets drive
faster than they ever dare to when
they have reason to believe that the
police may be checking them up.

Two suspicious fires in rubbish heaps
in down town alleys should be sufficient
warning to cause a general cleaning
mn of the entire down town district
and the removal of all infammable
rubbish from the alleyways in all parts
of the city, The inspectors of the fire
department have repeatedly warned
merchants of the danger of thei-
fail ire to properly dispose Of this
waste but the fires of Sunday night
show that further precautions will
have to be taken to reduce the fire
hazard. The circumstances surround
ing these fires force the chief to the
conclusion that they could hardly have
been accidental and that they must
have been set deliberately either by
some one with the intention to start
a great confagration in the down town
business district or by boys in a spirit
of mischief with no thought of the
danger to which they were exposing
surrounding property and with the
sole object of seeing the department
in action, or We're the work of some
wandering pyromaniac to whom the
piles of infammable material would
offer an irresistible temptation. So
far as the results go the motive for
setting these fires makes little differ
ence. Either of them might very east
ly have caused heavy losses and it
would be mistake to take any more
chances of the kind.

If there are any of the candidates
for city offices who have taken out
papers under the impression that the
corrupt practices act has been super
seeded by the non-partisan election law
and is no longer in force-and in some
way that idea has gotten about the
city they may as well withdraw their
petitions if they do not care to
run under the provisions of the cor
rupt practices act for that much abus-
ed law is still in force. The days OF
the go-as-you-please campaign have
not returned in this state as yet and
any candidate who attempts to conduct
his campaign along the old Lines will
soon be undeceived. The fact that
they are running as non-partisans has
nothing whatever to do with their
standing under the other law. That
many of the candidates consider the
operation of the law farcical does not
release them from liability under it
and all Of the candidates will have to
% through all of the motions requir-
ca by the law.

GIVES ENGINE HOUSE SITE
Special Committee Is Named to Take
UP the Question of Strengthening
Main Street and Providing for Erec-
ton of New Bridge Over the River.

The city council put a quletus on
plans for filtration plant in the city
at the meeting on Monday evening
when by a vote of ten to five the coun-
Gil refused TO pass preliminary reso-
luton which provided for the submis-
sion of the question of building fl
tration plant to the people. The dis
cussion on the question was a spirited
one and it showed that majority of
the members of the council had not
as yet reached the point where they
could say that a filtration plant was
demanded for the city. The vote on
the lestion was. For submission to
the people, Marlatt, Starr, Filbin, Kis-
ten and Rauen. Against, Roberts,
Sullivan, Rhode, Thomey, Hegeman,
Stemm, Werner, Willems, Saftig and
Bruins.
The vote was reached after City
Attorney Slater had given the council
a practic llarly interesting legal opin-
ion as to the right of the council to
issue bonds without submitting the
question to the people. The attorney
held that the city council could issue
such bonds without referendum, but
that the action would be subject tG
review by the people should a petition
be filed within thirty days after the
bond ordinance had been passed.
The discussion brought US the fact
that many aldermen opposed the FL
tration plant as unnecessary. Alder
man Hegeman was the leader Of the
opposition and he urged the fact that
the government was now working or
law to prevent the emptying of sew
age into the lake and that should this
law be passed there would be no need
of filtration. He also made a STRONG
plea for his plan for repiping the al
tesian water, but this plan was not
discussed by the council and a ma
jority of the aldermen who voted
against the submission Of the question
to the people were of the opinion tha
the council should take at least an
other year for the consideration of tn
big problem.
