Probably more serious talk of gov
eminent ownership circulates in rail-
road circles now than ever before.
Really serious conversation on that
topic used to be confined mainly to
Populissts. Now it seems mainly con-
fined to railroad directors.
1t is not such remote or impossible
contingency as many people imagine.
AS we mentioned recently, net income
of railroads during the last three years
has failed to expand proportionately
with increased capital investment. To
meet the transportation needs of the
country it should increase half billion
or SO a year.
To attract the capital, the roads must
pay current rates of return upon it.
For proper maintenance of road and
equipment, about thirty per cent of
gross revenue should be used every
year; but, with increased capital in
vestment and level or declining net in
come, there would obviously not be
money enough to go around, and the
temptation to skimp maintenance
charges in that event would be very
strong
Money that should go for new rails,
ties and bridges would be saved for
dividends; and, once that began, the
roads would be in process Of eating
themselves up, because neglected main
tenance is like note that draws a
hundred per cent compound interest.
Finally, the roads must expand; they
must maintain efficiency. The needs Of
the country demand it. Saturday

Tt is doubtful if the plan to estab-
fish a convict camp in Kenosha county
and build some of the roads with con-
Wet labor would meet with the approx
al of all of the people of the county,
but it is expected that the proposal to
use convict labor here will be made at
the next meeting of the board. Ger
tainly if it is decided to make applica-
tion for that kind of state aid, the
claims of this county should receive
every consideration from the state Of
fcials. This county is going to spend
more money proportionately on its
roads next summer than most of the
counties of the state and is entitled to
its share of convict labor if it
claims it.

SPEAKS ON TURKEY.
Mrs. Ella Bray Graham Gives Lecture
at Congregational Church.

A most interesting meeting of the
missionary department Of the Wom-
an s Aid Society of the First Congre-
gational church was held in the church
parlors Monday afternoon at which
more than SIXTY were present and the
annual thank offering amounted to
nearly fifty dollars. Mrs. Ella Bray
Graham, former Kenosha woman, who
for several years past has been engag
ed with her husband, Dr. Graham, in
Turkey, gave an address which was not
only highly interesting, but inspira-
tional in its character. The speaker
knew her subject at first hand and how
to picture the conditions now prevail
ing in that semi-barbarous country, in
q way which impressed her hearers
with the fact that foreign missionary
and money as many are prone to be-
lieve, but is instead one of the most
important factors in the promotion of
the Christian church, both at home and
abroad. Never lacking in effective eff
fort, the Congregational church has not
failed in its duty in carrying the gos-
pei to foreign lands and there is very
tangible evidence of a general adj
vance all along the line, not only in
this, but in all departments of church
work

State Health Board Throws
More Safeguards About
Contagious Diseases.
SPECIAL GUARDS FOR SCHOOLS

A general revision of the health
rules relating to contagious diseases
has been made by the state board of
health, which, when officially published
today, will have the force of law. The
new rules prohibit the attendance at
school of children from homes where
there is rcarlet fever, meningitis or in
fantile paralysis. An old rule of the
board has been amended to permit
children from a home where whooping
cough exists, other than the ones suf-
fering from the disease, to attend
school. It is the opinion OF the board
that the disease is rarely transmitted
through third person.
In all homes where infantile blind
ness, whooping cough or measles have
occurred the premises must be given a
general cleaning by disinfectant.
Heretofore there has been rule for
the quarantine Of patients suffering
from meningitis. The rule has now
been amended and made stronger by
requiring the quarantine of the whole
family for a period Of fourteen days.
Persons dead from meningitis must
be buried within thirty-six hours and
public funerals are prohibited in case
of deaths from infantile paralysis,
meningitis, diphtheria, smallpox and
scarlet fever. A further rule has been
made prohibiting the bringing into the
home Of any library books, where per-
sons are suffering from smallpox,
meningitis, diphtheria, typhoid fever,
pulmonary tuberculosis and measles.
There was an old rule Of the board,
adopted in 1907, prohibiting the at
tendance at schools Of children suf-
fering from pulmonary tuberculosis.
This rule has now been changed so
as to permit such children to attend
open air. schools, several of which
are about to be established in the
state.
By far the most stringent rule to be
adopted by the board provides that the
sale of milk or dairy products from
a home where tuberculosis, scarlet
fever, typhoid fever, smallpox or
diphtheria exists shall be prohibited
unless the person or persons SO afflict-
ed are entirely disassociated with the
care of the products, the keeping and
cleaning of the utensils, and the hand
ling of stock or the sale of milk pro-
ducts. The board claims that this
drastic rule will prevent the spreading
of many contagious diseases

CROP SETS RECORD.

State Crop is Best on Record.
"While Wisconsin farmers are well
accustomed to the harvesting of good
crops, they perhaps have never on the
whole, harvested larger or better
yields than during the present sea

conditions for the entire country at
about ten per cent below the average
of recent years, but / am convinced
that reports from the various sections
of Wisconsin would even average con-
slderably above the normal for this
state and that, in most instances, has
been satisfactory While other of the
middle western states have been
drought stricken this summer, the rain
fall in Wisconsin has been greater than
usual and its distribution has been
quite general.
81 feel satisfied that the Wisconsin
farmer will be better paid for his pro-
duce and products this season than at
any time in recent years. The crop
yields of several of the other great
food producing states have been ma
terially diminished by the thoughts
with which they have been afflicted
for long continued periods. This di-
minishing of the supply will most as
suredly influence market prices. +"

The extent of the prevalence Of the
morphine and cocaine habits is not
generally known says the Churcnman.
An index thereto is found in the
figures recording the annual importa-
tion and consumption of opium and CO.
caine. In the United States during
the last ten years there has been an
annual importation of morphine and
opium of over 100000 pounds. Ger
many, with 100000 inhabitants, con-
sumes only about $4,000 pounds annual
ly while in Italy, with its 100000
people, there is an annual consumption
of only about 1000 pounds 1t is
agreed by most reliable authorities
that one-eighth the amount Of opium
imported into the United States would
amply suffice for the legitimate medical
needs of our people. This country
manufacturers into morphine fully
100000 pounds of the annual importa-
tion, and it is estimated that eighty
per cent Of the morphine thus made is
used by the victims of the habit. A
consideration of the traffic in cocaine
reveals a no less alarming situation.
In spite of legislation intended to re-
press, to prevent, or to limit to medical
and scientific needs, the consumption
has grown to such an extent that its
illegitimate use exceeds 100000 ounces
every year.

WEIGHT LIMIT IS MADE EASY
This Will be the First Appearance Of
Gibbons in Kenosha and it is Elk
pected That Both Men viii Furnish
Hot Argument for the Boxing Pans.

Evidently Kenosha is to be made the
happy hunting ground of the weIter-
weight fighters, for following closely
the elimination bout between Billy
Walters and "WiId Cat, Ferns,
comes the announcement that Mike
Gibbons of st. Paul and Spike Kelly
of Chicago, both leading candidates for
championship honors in this division,
have signed an agreement for ten
round bout to be pulled off in Kenosha
on the night of Oct. 10th. The weight
limit has been placed at AS pounds
and it is an easy matter for both of
the men to make this weight.
1t will be the first appearance of
Gibbons in this district and the first
time Kelly has been seen in action
in Kenosha since he fought Walters.
Kelly and Gibbons should put up a
much better battle over the ten round
route than was given the fans by
Sailor Walters and Wild Cat Ferns on
last Friday night and the bout should
prove one of the fastest and most in
teresting ever seen in Kenosha. Glib
bons has been regarded as the leader
Of the welterweight division and he
has met a lot of men in this and
heavier classes. He has long record
of wins by the knockout route and is
regarded as one of the hardest hitters
in the pugilistic world. 1t is said that
a very attractive card will be made up
for the Kelly Gibbons show.
The newspaper teaches in Chicago,
who previous to the coming of the COM
mission rule in Wisconsin, were accus-
toned to fatten up their purses with
every show in Kenosha, have not taken
kindly to the loss of their petty graft
and as a result there has been consid-
cradle "knocking' of the Kenosha
CluD Uu CuC pdIG OIL AZ Lew OIL Un6Se
writer's. They have exploited at
length the fact that Wild Cat Ferns
was not satisfied with the money which
he received after the show on last Fri
day night and have attempted to throw
blanket on the Kenosha shows as a
result Ferns was advised to take the
matter up with the commission and the
Kenosha club will stand ready to pay
just what the commission says Ferns
should have received. The last show
was not financial success, but it can
be said that it was more of a success
than many shows given when the
teaches from Chicago stood about the
ringside and took their percentage Of
the receipts on the win, lose or draw
agreement.
The commission can be depended on
to take care of the end of the boxer
as well as that of the promoters and
the fans and the Kenosha club is GER
tain to be one of the first in the state
to meet every demand of the commits
sion.

It will be interesting TO get the
figures on the receipts of the boxing
commission on the five per cent Of the
gross receipts taken by the state I'M
der the new boxing law. There have
been fights in this city when five per
cent of the receipts would run com
mission quite some time at the rate
they are allowed to spend it.
