PRIZES FOR PARADE FLOATS
Big Display Of Fire WORKS at Eichel-
man Park at Night and Athletic Meet
at Rambler Park in Afternoon to be
the Big Features for the Day.

Final arrangements for the celebra-
ton of the Glorius Fourth in Kenosha
under the direction of the Boy Scouts,
were completed Oh Wednesday night
and it is certain that the day will
bring one of the biggest observances
of the nation s birthday ever known
in Kenosha. While the celebration
has been arranged by the boys it will
be a celebration for men and it will
be along the most approved lines for
a sane observance of the day.
The program provides for the day
to open with a parade of the business
and industrial interests Of the city and
prizes have been offered for the best
decorated float, best decorated auto
mobile, best decorated bicycle and mo-
torcycle. Ten dollars will be offered
for the first two classes and FIVE dol
lars each for the second classes. In
addition prizes will be offered to the
association or club having the largest
number of members in line in the
parade. The business men of the city
have agreed to go into the parade with
a vim and it is expected that the dis
play will be a notable one.
The display of fireworks will be
featured. There will be both day and
night displays of fireworks. The com
mittee has appropriated $3.50 for the
purchase of fireworks. Day fireworks
including exploding bombs with fall

result of disunion at Boise last week.
Which leads the Oregonian to sum
up the situation in the following con-
else manner:
The possibility that Wilson will ap-
point Samuel Adams, secretary of the
interior, has caused the western
democrats to forget the ambitions of
individual candidates for that office
and to unite in a demand for the ap-
pointment of any western man whom
the west can trust to carry out a
sound policy of conservation, not the
policy of reservation, of which Adams
is an exponent. If Adams should be
inflicted on the west, it will be the con-
sequence of the vests division among
several rivals.
Whichever of several alternatives
Wilson may select, he will be accused
in some section of the country of sac
rificing the public interest to political
expediency and of committing a polit-
zeal blunder. Should he, in order to
placate Pinchot and his following of
eastern reservationists, appoint man
of Adams stamp, he would with just
ice be accused of going counter to west
ern interests and of alternating the
west at time when his party has
just broken the solid republican
phalanx in this section. Should he, in
Difference to western sentiment, APP
point western man who is a genuine
the whole Pinchot
group will set upon him.
Under these circumstances the COM
mon interest of the west demands that
this section forget its state rivalries
and unite in support of a man who will |
carry out the policy of conservation |
as western men interpret it. AS the |
west cannot unite on any specific can
didate, it has submitted the names of |
several men, any one of whom would |
be satisfactory. If that eXpedient fail,
t should, without naming any individ-
Ial, request the appointment of a man
If the general type which would salts
y it and should protest against the
of Adams or any man of
lis stamp.
If Wilson will appoint a western
nan, who, while true conservationist,
will administer the law as it is given
lin by congress and who has that

conditions which is essential to proper
of the land laws, he
will strengthen himself greatly in the

In some respects the German indus

approaching a crisis upon this matter.

about 25 years. Young men who en-

etc., are given one and a half hours for
lunch. In the summer time often two
hours. This means a tremendous re-
duction of the working force, especial
ly in the large department stores, one
of which has over 5000 employees. 1t
is proposed to cut the lunch time down
to 80 minutes or one hour and close
at night at instead of 8 o'clock.
The far-sighted German government
has anticipated to some extent the
approaching wholesale retirement of
old men by the establishment of the |
old age pension system. Small as this |
pension is, it will do much to prevent |
old age.
Prosperous as Germany has been in
the last quarter of a century, the cost
of living has kept pace, and ever
forged ahead of increase in wages.
few of the old men who
soon will be "shelved" were able to
save much for their latter days from
heir wages.

trial and commercial circles are seri
ously bordering what they shall d

izing of their business methods, to
gether with the keen competition, ha
reached that point where the head
of some of the largest concerns il
Germany feel that they must cast OF
many of their older men in order tt
make way for the greater energy ant
quicker work and activity of younger
brains.
"Americanizing the personnel" as i
is called here, naturally is arousing
storm of protest. OF all business meth
DDS, trade and commercial policies
which the foreign manufacturer breads
most to come into competition with
are those of the United States, because
of the aggressiveness and the sclen-
tific elimination of waste and highest
egree of efficiency.
Many of Germany's industrial lead
ers and business men condemn the
ruthlessness with which American
competitors disregard sentiment in
business, particularly as relates to en-
ployes, yet secretly admire the freedom
from tradition under which American
business is done.

you "modernize" you 'Americanize. "
Germany has outdistanced the slower
moving and more unprogressive John
Bull in the rivalry for world markets,
and is now sharply coming into COM
petition more and more with the United
States. To meet the Americans they
argue they must adopt American meth
DDS because they have proven the most
successful. That calls for greater eff
ficiency from employees. This problem
can only be solved by process of
elimination, or to use their own term,
"Americanizing the personnel. That
is against all German tradition and
custom, and makes the very hair of
socialists stand on end.
Manufacturers, business men and
heads of large concerns, recognize the
necessity of some such action. They
are going at it easy. They propose
no American limit of 35 or even 45
years. That would start revolution. |

war with guns and sabres would cause
less dismay among French tradesmer
than that now being made with the
sample-case. And in the former the
French could put up a stronger de-
Tense, in all probability, with chances
better for victory.
Tradition has it that the Germans
are slow and plodding; the French
quick-witted and hustling, but when it
comes to big business the reverse of
the picture is nearer the truth. The
tourists compare Berlin to Chicago.
In the manufacture of toys, dolls,
cheap jewelry, ETC., Germany is out
doing France in Frances own terri
tory. Germany does it through the use
of modern methods.
In France it is still considered i'm
polite by many large mercantile
houses, lawyers, ETC., to send type
written communications to clients.
Consul Called Spy.
The German consul in foreign coun-
tries is dubbed a spy by the French
man because of his tireless activities
in informing his home industries of
all that is transpiring in the industrial
world in the country wherein he is To-
Gated. Labor-saving machinery, new
modes of doing this or that, newer ana
cheaper means of performing a given
task, opportunities for increasing
trade, why plants should be built on
foreign SOIL how to go about placing
goods-these and myriad other serv-
ices are labeled duties by the German
consul abroad.
In France, according to Paul de
writing on what he terms
the Foreign INVASION" the consul
plays at being a diplomat more than
working as the country's commercial
agent abroad He cited an incident

UNITED, THE WEST MUST STAND

Whether Colonel Bryan will be the
premier, whether McCombs will be
postmaster general, whether Brandies
will be the attorney general, McAdoo
postmaster general, and so on down
the line are matters that do not con-
Germ the west greatly, but in all of
Governor Wilson's cabinet there is one
position which must be filled by a
western mana man who knows more
about the west than can be absorbed
from a Pullman car window-and that
is the portfolio of the Interior.
Not that the west has an axe to
grind 1t has not.
But the west has submitted for the
better part of eight years to a sort of
absentee landlordsm, by which a
Washington bureaucracy, with an adj
mirable theorist at the head, has i'm
posed its supreme will upon these
sovereign states, and we had to smile
and say we liked it.
AS matter of fact we did not, and
we never did, and the administration
of western problems by eastern men
was in no small measure responsible
for the strong democratic vote in the
west-o Mississippi region at the
last election.
Ordinarily the west would have prob
ably secured this appointment had it
united, but the several western states
with their several favorite sons played
the same sort of politics which sent
