the mill is a new one. and was built to
take the place of the old mill, which

TO KENOSHA
Frederick Weller noted Play
Ground Expert to Speak
in Kenosha April 18th.
IS HEAD OF BIG MOVEMENT

Kenosha is to be favored on the
10Th with visit from a distinguished
play ground advocate from New York
City. Charles Frederick Weller, asso-
ciate secretary of the Play Ground
and Recreation Association of Ameri-
ca, will be here in the interests Of this
movement in Kenosha. 1t is hoped
that a clear, practicable constructive
policy can be outlined for our city.
Mr.. Weller was for sixteen years a
leader in the associated charities of
Chicago, Washington and Pittsburg.
He founded the Washington, D. G.
play grounds and the Neighborhood
House. He is the author Of t'Neg-
lected Neighbors
His mission now is going about
from city to city to assist in the or
ganization of play grounds and social
centre work. The place at which he
will speak will be announced later.
Mr.. Weller is clear in thought and
interesting in his way of putting
things. He has seen the objects which
he pictures and describes. He inspires
others to work with him. Every earn
est person will thank him for his visit
to our city.

New Law For June Primary
Is Advanced by Legisla-
ture and May Pass.
MAY SEND VOTES BY LETTER

| It is almost certain that the pri-
mary election date will be changed
from the first Tuesday in September
to the first Tuesday in June.
Small votes at the primaries is
the primary cause for the introduction
of measure changing the date and
the cause is championed by many mem
bers Of both houses who are anxious
| to see full vote out for the nomina-
tion of candidates.
The chief fault found with the pres
emit primary election is that it comes
at a time when farmers are busy in
the fields and that, unless weather is
inclement they cannot afford to spare
their time to drive miles to an cleo
tion booth.
Coming in June, it is argued, the
primary would fall at a time when
residents of the rural communities had
the most spare time and would result
| in heavier vote.
The extension of the time in which
party campaigns may be conducted is
another reason for the change of date,
candidates in the past having main
tanned that the time elapsing between
the primary and the election is too
short.
1t is well known joke that cam
paigners in districts comprising rural
communities pray for rain on primary
day. This, they maintain, makes work
| in the fields impossible and insures
heavy voting. Some Of the strongest
supporters of the proposed change are
senators and assemblymen from the
rural districts.
The senate elections committee has
recommended retaining the main feat
ures Of the bill for universal voting by
mail. This far reaching change in the
manner Of voting would also go a long
ways towards bringing out a full vote,
it's friends claim, and would eliminate
the important elements of season and
weather, which are foreign to the
questions at issue in elections. The
bill has enthusiastic hackers who say
that our system Of voting has not kept
pace with the advance in communica-
ton in other lines, that it is relic
of the town meeting before the days
Of rapid and cheap postal service, tele-
phone and telegraph, and other modern
message carrying agencies, and that
adequate regulation can be had to
make the mails perform this addition
al service.

Statistics on liquor licenses furnished
by the state industrial commission
show that about 10000 federal retail
liquor licenses were granted in the
state and about 5000 saloon licenses
were granted by the different cities,
towns, and villages. OF the 5000 fed
eral retail liquor licenses in excess Of
the saloons licenses, about 1850 were is
sued to pharmacists leaving in the
neighborhood of $3.50 federal retail
licenses to be accounted for. Prob
ably 500 federal licenses have been
issued for clubs, but that would leave
in the neighborhood Of 1,700 federal
licenses in the hands of illicit dealers
who are paying no licenses TO local
governments, but who do not dare take
any chances with the revenue laws OF
the federal government. The surpris-
ing showing made in these statistics IS
likely to result in close comparison
by all county officials of the licenses
issued by towns, cities and villages in
their jurisdictions with the number is
sued by the revenue officials.

sorie extent university requests for
funds will be eurbed by this legisla-
ture, although just where cuts are to
occur cannot yet be said.
So far the opposition to the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin which has come to
light in this legislature has been far
more pronounced in the assembly than
in the senate. The senators do not
view the university domination as dan
gerous and are by no means showing
the friendliness to anti-university bills
that is being shown by the assembly.
Whether this is because the members
Of the lower house, elected as they are
for only single biennial period, are
more deeply in touch with the senti-
ments of the people. relative to the
university cannot be said. This much,
however, is a certainty, that there are
"a great many assemblymen who not
only are not in close accord with
present university policies, but are not
hesitating to publicly proclaim their
opposition to the university.
One bill which, although it is not
liked by the university authorities, is
certain to pass, may to some extent aid
the university in re.establishing itself
with the public. It is beyond a ques-
ton of doubt that the holding of exc
cutive sessions by members of the
board of university regents has not
been looked upon with favor by the
public and the fact that a bill is GER
tain to be passed by this legislature
which will insure future public ses-
sions of the regents will have good
effect not only in making the regents
more particular in regard to their re-
lations with the legislature, but in
making the faculty understand that
they, too, must keep the state inform
ed of the plans and intentions of
the university.

FACE PRISON TERMS.
Men Who Made Bogus Coins in Keno
sha Convicted in United States Court.

L. A. Forman and Jack Mcdonald,
the two Chicago men who used room
at the Hotel Orth here as a place for
the manufacture of bogus coins, were
convicted ON charges of counterfeiting
in the United States court. at Milwau-
kee on Friday afternoon. They will
be sentenced on next Tuesday. The
men admitted that the coins they had
circulated in Racine had been made at
the Kenosha hotel, but they insisted
that they had not been connected with
the circulation or manufacture of bogus
coins in other Wisconsin cities prior
to this date. Notwithstanding the plea
of guilty entered by the men the court
insisted on all the evidence in the case
being put in in order that he might
know the extent of the violation of the
law The men claimed that they had
never been arrested before for viola
ton of the federal statutes.

point of perfection as was displayed
in the program s successful rendition.
While it would be difficult to select
the numbers best rendered by the
choir, it was evident that the opening
and closing numbers were well chosen
for effectiveness because the first
piece prepared the audience for what
was coming and the last was a fitting
climax of harmony and melody which
sent the audience away feeling salts
fed in the extreme.
The fact is apparent that the fame
which has become attached TO the
Paulist choir is not over-estimated for
it would be hard to conceive an ag-
gregation of boys and men who could
render a more pleasing, more perfect
and more satisfying program than that
of Thursday evening. The Catholic
Woman's Club are to be compliment
ed on having given Kenosha people
the privilege of hearing such wonder

Postmaster General Says
that no Changes Will be
Made in Offices.
CHARGES MUST Be FILED

Postmaster General BurIeson sw-
nounced today, that it was the policy
of the administration to continue all
republican postmasters now in Office
until the end of their terms providing
no charges were fled against their eff
dciency. The policy applies to all
classes of postmasters. ,t
my department will be run on
business basis and not by politics. -
said Mr.. Burleson, in explaining the
new policy. He declared there might
be some removals, but that he believ-
ed the majority of the republican post
masters were efficient and would not
be discharged.
There must be specific charges, -
said he, "before anyone will be
removed"
The policy was agreed upon after a
conference with President Wilson, who
favors the merit system. A plan is
being worked out for securing more
efficiency among fourth class post
masters, they having been placed under
civil service by President Taft.
This is taken to mean that there
will be no change in the Kenosha Of
fee until April of 1915. R. Y. Baker,
the present postmaster, was appointed
by President Taft, following the resig-
nation of Postmaster John B. Maloney
and at that time the appointment was
made for a full term Of four years.
1t is not expected that there will be
great many changes in postmasters
in the smaller offices of Kenosha
county as there is only limited num-
Der of people who can take care of
these offices. Men in most of the viii
lagos who are in a position to handle
the offices are republicans and it is
thought that under this condition the
man now in charge will be favored.
Candidates for the appointment Of
postmaster at Kenosha seem to have
settled Gown for the long wait and
there has been little activity along
these lines during the past few weeks.

Assemblyman Dolan of Grant county
proposes that there Shall be full set
ting forth OF statistics relating to the
state income tax, so that members of
the Legislature may be able to judge for
themselves whether it is working out
well and deserves to be continued.
1t is one thing to have pro forma
report by officials who are interested
in putting a good face on a state of
things that works out to their personal
advantage or that for any other rea-
son they desire to see continued. 1t is
another thing to have answers to qpes-
tions going to the heart of the situa-
tion and treating the system dealt
with as something on trial to be re-
vealed and judged, not prejudgedto
stand or fall absolutely on its merits
Assemblyman Dolan wants show
ing ON the following points:
a detailed statement of moneys
paid to and due the state by and from
the several counties on account of the
income tax of 1911.
A detailed statement of the total
amount of expenses incurred by the
state in the administration of the in
come tax law for years 1911 and 1912,
each year separately, and the state,
ment of expenses to include:
The total amount paid to each in
come tax assessor, in the state, for
salary and personal expenses
The total amount paid for salaries
and personal expenses to all persons
engaged to assist the income tax as
SCISSORS.
The total amount paid for office rent
for income tax assessors and their as.
sistants, and for postage, stationery
and other expenses connected with
such Offices.
Total amount of expenses incurred
by the tax commission for additional
clerical and other assistants and for
printing, postage, stationery, travel,
etc, due to the income tax law and
it's administration.
The total amount of all other ex-
penses incurred by the state in the adj
ministration of the income tax law.

The announcement of the officials of
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany that it will not be responsible
for fines assessed against it's motor
men on either of it's lines in this city
will probably result in complete re-
vision of the schedules of the local
street railway company to per
nit its employees to conform to the
fifteen miles an hour ordinance. The
employees Of the company may be ex-
pected to make their position clear
without any delay and no one can
blame them if they prefer to sacrifice
the conpany's schedules whenever
necessary rather than to give up any
of their hard earned money paying
fines for running faster than the law
allows to make%up time aud keep to
the schedules. They have everything
to gain and nothing to lose by keep
ing within the limit set in the ordi-
nance and. when the speedometers are
installed Id the cars the motorman who
is caught4rlnning faster than the law
allows will not have q shadow of an
excuse. III Is the intention of the city
to enforce this fifteen miles an hour
ordinance to the letter and the warn
ing conveyed by the arrest of two Of
the motormen should be sufficient for
all of the men operating cars in this
city 1t is no pleasure to the police
to mulct the motormen for their pay,

STEAL PLANTS FROM PARKS.
West Side People Build Flower Gardens
at the Expense of Park Commission.

Park Superintendent John Schwan-

rants for the arrest of people who have

that some of these people will be ar

More than two hundred tulip plants
which were growing in the park on

and Thursday night the thieves dug
up and carried away several shrubs.
No reports of thefts from other parks
in the city have been sent to the police.

The proposal to hold the primaries
in June will not appeal to prospective
candidates. Most of them have all
they can do to stand the strain and
expenses Of the campaigns now and a
five months campaign would use them
up entirely, financially and physically.
The theory that the change would in
crease the vote at the primaries is all
that recommends the bill at all.
