Bryan said that he believed II was pos

rendered to society the $oOoOo0c0 which
was reputed to be the size OF the largest
fortune in this country"

However your account. 10 be fair. should
also have stated what the Secretary -
State said in addition. namely, that while
man might by reason Of great talent
and ability earn that enormous amount

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Secretary Bryan was discussing the rich man be-
fore a company Of preachers in this city the other
day He said ne believed that IL was possible Tor u
man 10 be OF almost infinite worth To his fellow men
but the trouble was that those who were The most
valuable too busy being valuable 10 collect
their rewards. while those who collected the rewards
were too busy collecting them to be valuable. IN
this connection" said the Secretary. i am reminded
Of the story OF the preacher who IN delivering

BURY OLD TIME MINSTREL HERE
Remains of Jimmy Dalton to be Laid
to Rest in Family Plot Wednesday.

Quite a company of people well
known to the stage and to the minstrel
world especially came to Kenosha
on Wednesday afternoon to attend the
last rites over the remains of james
Dalton, minstrel of international
reputation. who died at the home of
his sister, Mrs. Margaret Nhalen in
Chicago Sunday evening. Jimmy Dali
ton, as he was lovingly known to the
members of the profession, was son
of the late James Dalton, one time
resident of Kenosha He was born and
spent his early life in Kenosha. Dali
ton was on the stage with minstrel
troupes doing clog dancing for nearly
forty years. He first went on the stage
when he was fourteen years of age
Re travelled with Lew Dockstader, The
Schoolcraft Minstrels, Haverly's band
and Cleyeland's Black Face Troupe.
For some time he was on the stage
with his wife, who was known as Clara
Boyle.
Mrs. Dalton died in February, 1910,
and was buried at Kenosha

A municipal observance OF Christ
mas seems to appeal to many OF the
people of the city as a departure worth
trying and a number of the aldermen
and city officials are quite favorably
impressed with the idea. A celebration
that would brighten the day for thous-
ands could be given at small expense,
for most Of the people taking part in
any entertainment that would be CIV
en- would donate their services, and it
is quite likely that plans will be made
to give the new idea trial in Keno
sha. Kenosha has plenty of local
talent in the entertainment line that
could be called upon and there is really
no reason why a municipal observance
Of Christmas could not be made as
great success here as it is in the
cities of the Pacific Coast.

Rev. Edward Kozlowski is
Named Auxiliary Bishop
of Milwaukee Diocese.
WAS EDUCATED At ST. FRANCIS

Associated Press dispatches from
Rome announce the appointment of
Rev. Edward Kozlowski, pastor of St.
Stanislaus church at Bay City, Mich,
to be the auxiliary bishop of Milwau.
kee. The appointment Of Bishop Kou-
delka as bishop of Superior was also
announced. The dispatch is as follows:
"Rome, October Is. Msgr. Edward
Kozlowski Of Bay City, Mich, was to-
day appointed by the Pope to be
auxiliary bishop of Milwaukee, on the
recommendation of Cardinal de Lai,
secretary of the consistoriaI congrega-
ton.
"Rt,-Rev Joseph NJ. Koudelka, the
present auxiliary bishop of Milwau-
kee, was appointed bishop of the do
cese of Superior.
Father Kozlowski s name was one of
the three proposed by Archbishop Mess
mer to Rome last winter, when the ap-
pointment of an auxiliary bishop to
succeed Bishop Koudelka was re-
quested.
No notification, official or unofficial,
has been received by Archbishop Mess
.mer of the appointment of Father
Kozlowski to be auxiliary bishop of
Milwaukee. The archbishop expressed
himself this morning, however, as great
ly pleased by the news, provided it
prove authentic.
~ have no word from Rome on the
subject, said the archbishop, "save
an unofficial communication about ten
days ago, from a,priest in Rome, to the
effect that the subject was soon to be
taken up. 1t is not usual for matters
of this kind to be announced publicly
before notification is sent to the arch
bishop of the diocese These official
communications come by mail from

usually withheld until they have reach
ed their destination.
"However, it is possible that the
announcement sent out from Rome
through the Associated Press, is cor
rect, because the name of Father Kos
lowski was one of the three which
proposed last winter.

news of the appointment proves to be
correct. From all that 1 know of Faith
er Kozlowsk he is very fine man.
He was highly recommended 70 me by
his bishop. Bishop Richter of Grand
Rapids, Mich, and by Bishop Sehremes,
now bishop of Toledo, and formerly
vicar general of the diocese of Grand
Rapids, who is an intimate friend Of
Father Kozlowski. The dispatch, by
the way, is in error, when it speaks of
him as monsignor. He has never been
given that title.
Father Kozlowski is man of
learning. He speaks English and Ger
man fuently, and is conversant with
other languages. A week ago Wednes-
day he preached the sermon at the
opening of the Polish Catholic union .

the appointment, shall communicate

Father Kozlowski was born in
Galicia, Austrian Poland, about fifty
years ago. He was educated fol- the

last year celebrated the silver jubilee
OF his ordination. His first charge was
at Manistee, Mich.

The weather is somewhat erratic just
now, but the warnings Of the health
department remind us that the ''pneu-
monia season" is upon us. Most OF
the deaths of this foul-air disease are
preventable, the preventive is as free
as air; it is, in fact, air itself, good
and fresh air, that is the preventive.
Open your windows and doors, or
rather keep them open, is the advice
of the health department To this may
be added: Take long walks, avoid over
crowded, filthy cars and ill-ventilated
places of all kinds.
What the individual citizen is adyis-
cd to do the city in it's corporate
capacity is also bound to do. The ordi-
nances designed to insure proper ven
tilation of cars, assembly rooms, NOV
ing picture shows, ETC., should be strict
ly enforced And when any provision
in such ordinances is attacked on al
legged constitutional, grounds, the
benefit of every doubt should be given
to the public, its life and health. The
public s lawyers should strenuously re
sist applications for injuctions to re-
strain enforcement Of health ordinances
and judges should be mighty slow in
granting such injunctions. In no case
should one be granted perfunctorily, in
the bad old way, without due notice to
the authorities chiefly concerned.
The price of public health is
vigilance, private and public. Record

tions and they therefore are very much
hoping that Congressman Cooper will
ges into the race It is said the deci-
sion OF the congressman as to whether
he will become a candidate for the
nomination will be made within the
next few months and that if he de-
cides to enter the race his candidacy
viii be announced early next year.
Isaac Stephenson is still refusing to
say whether he is entertaining any
ideas of going before the people as a
candidate for republican renomina-
tion to the United States senate, and
is sticking to the position which he an
nouneed some time ago when he said
that no one was going to know for
some time to come what his plans were
or whether he had any idea of run
ming for another term. As matter
of fact, close friends of the senator do
not think he has any intention of run
ming, and this information is being
taken as authentic by the political
leaders, who are not now figuring on
his candidacy.
All talk of Congressman Irvine T..
Lenroot running for the republican
nomination for United States senator
Is also considered without foundation
here, and most of the friends of Mr..
Lenroot do not think that he has any
idea whateys of being in the field
as senatorial candidate in the com
ing campaign.

6 The state industrial commission
furnishes some interesting figures on
the workings of the Wisconsin work
mems compensation act. Since the
act went into effect two years ago,
1888, 1858 has been paid out in 5,074
cases finally disposed of by the com
mission to injured workmen or their
dependents and it is estimated that
half as much again has been expended
for medical, surgical, and hospital ex-
penses The statistics indicate the
immense amount of litigation saved by
the operation of the law. Before this
form of settlement of industrial acct
dents was provided in this state at
least half of the cases adjusted by the
commission would have gone to the
courts with the resultant loss to the
workingmen of at least fifty per cent
of all monies awarded which would
have been paid out by them in expenses
and attorneys fees and certainly an
equal loss to the people of the state
in the cost of keeping courts in SEES
sion to hear the cases. Admitting that
my actual figures made up to show the
savings under the law are the merest
guesswork, the fact remains that it is
evident that there is a big saving even
if it is impossible to reduce it to dol
dars and cents with any degree of ac-
curacy 1t has never been claimed that
the law is perfect and that time and
experience may not show the necessity
of revision in important particulars,
but enough has been done under it to
show the possibilities of intelligent
legislation along these lines and we do
not believe that either employers or
employees would now be satisfied to 90
back to. the old system of litigating
he majority of damage claims for
ersonal injuries.

Petitions Against Ritual

JEWISH PEOPLE PUSH CRUSADE

People of Kenosha are to De asked
to join in the general protest that is

Jew, who is charged with ritual MUIR
DER in Russia, and petitions win be
circulated by prominent Jewish people
in the city urging the administration
at Washington to make formal pro-
test to Russia against the conviction
Of the man. In many. cities great mass
meetings have been held to protest
against the possible conviction of the
nan but no such meeting is planned
in Kenosha. Prominent Jews of the
city have received copies of petitions
from other cities and these will be
signed by every man of the Jewish
faith in Kenosha and by hundreds of
people Of other faiths. IL is probable
that the matter will be taken up by
the churches of the city on next Sun
day and IN his way some united action
secured. The petitions read as follows:
Whereas, The Russian government
has placed on trial man by the
name Of Mendel Beiliss Of the jew

ual murder and,
Whereas, The evidence tends to

THURSDAY, OCTOBER %, 1918.

The fact that the directors of the
North Western did not think it neces-
sary to make stop in Kenosha on
their inspection tour may be taken as
q good sign. 1t indicates that the I'M
proyements outlined by the officials OF
the company for Kenosha to the repre-

have been definitely decided upon and
that no important changes in the plans
FOR Kenosha are under consideration.
