TELEPHONE WILL AID CAUSE.
Retailers Association will Seek to have
Farmers Institutes Held in Kenosha
to Bring the People of Rural Towns
into Closer Touch With City.

Kenosha merchants feel that they
are not getting their share OF the
county trade, and intend to make
strong bid for the farmer patronage
in the near future.
At last nights meeting of the re-
tailer's association committee was
appointed to confer with the necessary
officials in an effort to have the fut.
ure farmers Institutes held in Keno.
sha and instead of two day session,
as formerly held in different sections
of the county, to make it three
day institute.
If necessary, the association would
charter a special train on the North
western to carry the country people
back and forth without charge, and
would provide special entertainment
for them while in town.
Another committee was appointed to
devise some follow-up system of gen.
eral advertising through the county.
just what plan will be adopted was not
decided on but it would be cam
paign Of advertising setting forth the
advantages Of trading in Kenosha, ad-
vertising the mercantile business in
Kenosha as whole.
Some of the local merchants seem to
be favorable to the reviving of the
old plan Of holding regular market
days in the city. This plan is now be-
ing carried out in other cities and it
is claimed that it has done much to
stimulate retail trade. There was a
time way back in the pioneer days
when Kenosha had it's regular horse
fair and these days were always red
letter days for the retail merchants.
In recent years there has not been
the close relation between the farming
communities that would be desirable
and the merchants have not been who'll
| ly to blame. They have sought to Sc
cure the building Of better transpor-
tation facilities to the rural districts
but these plans have not as yet been
worked out.
The telephone company is seeking to
foster trade between the city and the
rural districts and to this end is urg-
ing the use of the telephone and the
parcel post as the best possible way of
shopping. Nearly every farmer in
Kenosha county is in reach of tele-
phone and by using the phone he can
have his goods delivered to him by
parcel post within twelve hours after
sending in the order. Many farmers
have already taken advantage of the
telephone-parcel post trading system
and it is declared that it works admir-
ably.
The merchants are hopeful that the
farmers and people in the smaller vii
lagos of the county will look into these
plans and see that they are used most
advantageously. The merchants will
make every possible concession to
serve the people in these districts.

Andrew Nick Of Chicago Is
Crushed Under Wheels Of
Train at Genoa Junction
BODY IS TAKEN TO WALWORTH

Andrew Nick, forty years of age
and supposed to be a resident Of Chi
cago, met instant death under the
wheels Of train on the Northwestern
road, half mile east of the village
of Genoa Junction just after midnight
Sunday morning. Nick had lived in
the neighborhood since last fall and
had been employed by the various ice
companies having houses near the vii
lage On Saturday evening he had
been at Genoa Junction and it is sup
posed that ne had started ito walk to
one of the ice houses when he was
struck by the train. The body was
found just after four o'clock Sunday
morning and taken to Genoa Junction
where it was kept in box car. The
train crew which brought in the body
held that the accident probably oc-
Cured in Walworth and the coroner
of that county was called to hold an
inquest over the remains. This ex-
animation is being held today. Eff
forts have been made to get some
trace of the relatives of the man. He
came to this county as an ice worker
several years ago and while it is
thought that he has wife and child
rem in Chicago or some other Illinois
city no trace Of them can be found
by the officials of the town of Randall
or of Walworth county. Nick had re-
sided in the town of Randall and the
accident which resulted in his death
must have taken place close to the
county line separating the two coun-
ties. Local officials are entirely salts
fed to have the Walworth officials take
charge Of the remains and the inquest
with the assurance that this county
will provide for the burial of the man
if his relatives can not be located. Tt
is probable that the HaegeIe Ice Com
pany for which Nick was working ut
the time of he met his death, will pro-
vide for the burial Of the remains.

Having failed to get any satisfaction
out of the officials of the various pub
lice service corporations, the city has
referred its differences with these cor
porations to the railway commission
with the request that most thor
ough investigation of conditions in this
city be made at the earliest possible
moment. The action of the council will
undoubtedly be approved by the ma
jority Of the people of the city who are
firmly of the opinion that Kenosha is
not getting the service to which it is
fairly entitled from its public utilities
and who are sick and tired of the
dIlatory tactics employed by the cor
poratlon managers. The next thing is
to get the evidence ready to present to
the commission. There should be plenty
of material from which to make
a strong case against the companies.
but it should be made ready at once
so that it can be presented any time
that the commissioners call for it. In
all probability the Kenosha case will
have to wait its turn on the commits
sioner's docket and will not be taken
up for some time but now that The an
peal to the commission is to be made
it will not do to take any chances on
being caught mapping and the city
should be ready for a hearing any time.
It is possible that representations can
be made that will induce the commits
sion to take up the Kenosha complaint
at once. It is certainly an urgent one
from every standpoint.

Business and the Tariff.

The Commoner observes that the
very fact that tariff bill is op
posed on the ground that it disturbs
business, is a weighty argument
against the protective tariff. When
industries rest, not upon their mer-
its, but upon legislative favors, they
are always in politics. They may
advise others to regard the question
as non-political, but they never do.
They are for the party that favors
them, and they are willing to pur-
chase legislation by contributions to
he campaign fund. When the cleo
ton is over they are in position
to enforce their demands by threat
ening withdrawal of contribu-
tons.
But the party now in power did
not win through contributions from
special interests. 1t is free to serve
the people. AS President Wilson
said, there may be errors of judg-
ulCIlt, DuJ UuI ulOGiNC DCll6 ooONS

A POINT OF ORDER.
The True Democrat Position Should
BE Endorsed.

The True Democrat, which is al
ways alive and in line of progress,
is not favorably iaclined to the
reading of essays ard of specialiies
on subjects not connected with the
press and suggests:
What is needed at press gather
ings is discussion of subjects gel
name to the newspaper business and
that alone. Sanitation, etc, can be
read up on, but only the real worker
can tell another brother the things
which should rightly be disscminat-
ed at gatherings of this kind. Nine
out of ten of the speakers at pas
meetings of the Louisiana pres
conventions would not know the
difference between type lice and q
glue pot; an equally large number
of them could be persuaded that
italic quads are a necessary adjun''
to any we'll regulated printing Of
fee; and very large percentage OF
them would fall for the old gag OF
lifting the stones Prac-
tical help is what the editors must
get to make these conventions at
tractive to them; not to be specta-
tors while outsiders. ride their hob

dead flies delivered to Ed LOOney,

any device at SOC quart is opened
