A Correction

In our report of the city council
meeting last week punctuation
mark was placed in the wrong po-
sition, making the city pay 2,263
to the Great Northern for sewer
expenses. 1t should have been
S25.63. A period is a mighty
thing-in the wrong place.

man claimed that Adams could not
be legally elected; and they gave as
their reason for not voting for him
the fact that they did not wish tc
break any law. This hypocrisy
was SO apparent that Alderman
Wells hared up and said that, since
the council was becoming so seem
lngly scrupulous in all It's dealings,
he would like to see the bids
for printing reconsidered; seeing
that in the letting of the contract
the council broke law wide open.
He then made motion to that ef.
tect and the question was put.
Three OF the councilmen supported
the motion and two voted against
it. Curtis did not vote. The
mayor then stood up and declared
the motion lost; startling decision
on his part, considering the vote
was plainly three to two in its ia
vor. Wells demanded a roll call.
When the names were called, Wells,
Plummer and Kienitz voted for the
motion; Bockman and Blackwell
voted against it; and Curtis hesita-
ted, and asked the mayor if the mo-
tion was illegal. On the mayor
giving this assurance, Curtis also
cast his vote against the motion,
which was, accordingly, defeated.
From this, then, it would appear
that the ajority in the council
have no regard for the law, except
ing only when they can coax it into
play as an excuse for something
they wish to put across in their
own interests.
Ordinance No. 10, regulating
was introduced at this
meeting and read by the clerk.
This ordinance is about a mile
long and contains many thousand
words. 1t created considerable
discussion and was finally referred
to the ordinance committee and
will be brought up again at a
later meeting.
Ordinance No. II, prohibitin g
the distribution of patent medic
ines was read and passed and will
be in force in 80 days. The max
lmum fine for violating this ordi-
nance will be $50 or thirty days in
the bastile.

Acting milne With the Start Made Last Week the Civ
Council Authorizes Another Useless Expenditure
Of a Large Chunk Of Tax Money

At the council meeting Tuesday
night the matter of electing city
treasurer was brought up and
Martin Jacobson was given the lob
at salary of $500 a year. This
matter created strong argument
among the councilmen and made
the first division in the council.
Chester A. Adams had volunteer
ed to do the work for a period
OF two years gratis, making a
saving to the city of $1,000. Her
man Bocknan and Geo. Blackwell
named Jacobson and Kienitz and
Plummer named Adams. Nom
nations were closed and the mayor
instructed the clerk to prepare
ballots for secret vote. B. F.
Maiden jumped to his feet and de-
manded that the vote be public
The clerk then called roll: Wells,
Plummer and Kienitz voting for
Adams and economy, Bockman,
Curtis and Blackwell voting for
jacobson and extravaganza. The
mayor declared the vote tie and
cast his vote for extravaganza,
electing Jacobson. This is the
second rotten act put over by the
city council within the last ten days
and both of them involve the
spending of large amount of tax
money that would otherwise not
need to be raised. The matter was
discussed thoroughly at the meet
ing Tuesday night. The mayor

which is declared to be the, classiest
little store in any of the residence dis
tricts of Milwaukee, will retire from
business at that time. The store is To-
Gated just across the street from Mar

BOUGHT AND PAID FOR PLEAsEs.
Broadhurst Play Pleases Large Crowd
at the Rhode on Friday Evening.

Bought and Paid For0 one of the
most successful plays of the present
season, pleased large audience at the
Rhode Opera House on Friday evening
playing to almost the capacity of the
theatre and no play seen in Kenosha
in recent years has met better re-
ception. In this play Mr.. Broadhurst
has broken away from the hackneyed
style of modern play writing and the
play is unusual in that it does not
traffic in the virtue Of women. 1t is
story that leaves no regrets and it
presents manhood and womanhood in
light that is a little unusual in the
successful dramas of the present day
The piece was put on in Kenosha with
the same splendid company that had
been seen for more than enc hundred
and fifty performances in Chicago and
the mounting Of the piece was one of
the best ever given to a play at the
local theatre. The company was one
perfectly adapted to the presentation
of the piece. Kathleen Macdonald as
Virginia Blaine was one of the most
charming players ever seen by Ke-
nosha audience and she divided the
honors of the evening with Helene
Lackaye, who received just as many
plaudits as the leading women Of the
company. The male roles taken by
Frank Mills, Francis x. Conlan and
Arvid Paulson were all especially well
cast for the lines. A story of com
pelling interest interpreted by such an
excellent company brought combina-
tion altogether charming.

Co OPERATION IN SCHOOLS
superintendent of Kenosha Schools
Tells Parent-Teachers' Association
That Cooperation of People Is What
Is Needed in Schools Today.

n tlS lHSStlHS VI LIZ d1OA
Teachers Association at the high
school on Thursday afternoon Mrs.
Bradford gave an account of the meet
ing Of the superintendent at Phila-
delphia, which she recently attended.
She briefly outlined some of the great
educational questions discussed there,
and then dwelt at some length upon
the meetings Of the National Congress
Of Mothers and Parent Teachers As
ISOLATION. The public sessions of this
association were held on Saturday,
March !, and were followed by a ban
quet at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel.
Many distinguished men, who had
been attending the N. Z. A. convention
Of superintendents, remained to take
part in the program or to listen to the
speeches and papers given. One of
the men was E. T. Fairchild, who will
be at the head Of the great meeting at
Salt Lake City in July, to which
Office he was elected at Chicago last
summer. He said that when the his
tory Of the twentieth century is writ
ten, the great thing that will be seen
to characterize it, is the recognition
Of the fact that what we wish to get
into the life Of the nation we must
first put into the school; that the con
servation of the child is the most i'm
portant sort of conservation. The
Parent-Teachers Association is, as it's
name implies, designed to help the
school in the great task resting upon
it and every effort on the part of these
women and men to help better the
conditions, is most heartily welcomed
by the public school system. This is
the day when we are learning the
meaning of the word together.
Cooperation characterizes the century.
There We're four round table discus
sions, each participated in by distin-
guished speakers. The first Of these
had for its topic, How Parents AS
sociations in Church and School Help
the Home and Children y The second
topic was How Parent Teachers As
sociations Help the Teacher, The School
and the Community The third was.
Responsibility of the School and the
Home for the Hayward Child.o The
fourth set forth plans for a Parents
Educational Bureau, which is designed
to reach parents with instruction
about child nurture and TO suggest
methods of increasing the educational
opportunities of school systems.
Each Of these discussions occupied
an hour Of time. Most Of the speak
ers were not teachers but parents, who
in their respective localities all over
the United States, are engaged in
some practical work for child benefit.
Hon. P. p Claxten the United States
commissioner Of education, took an in
terested part in the meeting, and spoke
also at the banquet.
In closing, Mrs. Bradford said that
the greatest hope for accomplishing our
full duty to children lies in this union
of mothers and school The mother is
pre-eminently the most important
teacher. We hear frequently the
phrase team play This really be-
gins when the teachers Of children and
the mothers come together

The warfare between the different
factions of the Polish societies which
started at the time the societies held
their state convention in this city was
settled Wednesday so far as the local
courts are concerned, although it is said
that the local case was but the prelim-
mary skirmish Of a battle that is to be
carried to the highest courts. It was
unfortunate that the matter came to a
head during the convention in this city
to mar the enjoyment of the delegates,
for the local Polish societies had made
every preparation to give all the visit
ors The best time they had ever had at
a convention.
