The city officials and the members
of the council license committee will
doubtless be willing to cooperate with
the brewery agents in any plan that
seems practicable for the elimination
of some Of the saloons that are now
being investigated prior to the appli-
cations for a renewal of licenses for
the coming year. 1t has been stated
and the statement is borne out by the
records of the police department and
the courts, that eighty per cent of the
troubles of the department arising in
the saloons could be done away with
if only a small percentage of the
saloons. those notorious as disorderly
places, could be put out of business. 1t
is obvious that it would be good bust
ness policy on the part of the brew
cries to close up these places for they
are directly responsible for much of
I the sentiment against the retail liquor
business in Kenosha Inasmuch as the
brewery agents are responsible for the
multiplication of saloons and three
fifths of the places could not keep
open without their assistance and sup
port it looks as if the agents should
! be powerful enough to weed out many
of the Objectionable places if they
have made up their minds that it is
time for a get together movement for
general cleanup of the saloon bust
ness in the ethyl It is well known
that some of the places that have been
| brought to the unfavorable attention
of the police in the past year are go
| ing to have trouble renewing their IL
censes this year and that the investi-
cation of all applications for licenses by
the license committee of the council
as at present constituted, is going to
be something more than a matter Of
form, but the city officials would un-
doubtedly prefer to have the brewery
agents straighten out conditions for
themselves.

The state board of control is asking
for an appropriation of $4,000 for the
care Of INDECENT crippled and defective
children Of the state and the legisla-
ture may establish home where the
children may be properly looked af-
ter. The census of these children
which is being taken under law
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature discloses conditions which APP
pear to call for the Intervention of the
state, in the opinion of many of the
members of the legislature. Many of
these crippled children could be prac-
tically cured and saved endless suffer
ing if they could have the proper
medical and surgical treatment and
there is no way for them to get this
treatment unless the state steps in and
gives it to them. The census referred
to above is being prepared from data
gathered by the district school clerks
and is believed to be accurate. 1t
shows that there are more Of these
children needing looking after than
can be taken care of in any accommo-
dations now at the disposal of the
board of control and the idea that the
state should erect home is gaining
ground in the legislature. If the
state is going to take up this work at
AL land there is little likelihood that
The legislature will refuse the state
board of control some appropriation for
this purpose-it should so into it
thoroughly and prepare to take care of
all Of the dependents who have right
to apply for assistance.

Sc safe. The last sample was taken
from one of the springs from waica
water is being sold in large quantities.
1t was held to be safe for table use
but it showed the same number of
bacteria as found IN the water from
the other well DR.. Smith held that
the bacteria count in this water was
too high.
Other samples were sent to the state
department to day with the under
standing that the reports of these tests
viii be check on local tests. In
sending out the report on the water
the following statement IS made:
The result % any one exam nation
of water can not be accepted as final.
Water varies at different times during
the year. Storage, storms, sedimenta-
ton, and dilution plays large part
in variation of the bacterial contents
of the water aud the count FOR diff
ferences in the same water if taken
from different outlets The results of
meteorological examination of wat
er that has been on the road for
number of days, or water sent without
ice, can not be regarded as conclusive.
The Interpretation of the analysis of
any water can not be made without
proper data. All normal drinking
waters contain more or less bacterial
life but in unpolluted well or spring
supplies the number found is not large,
not often more than few hundred per
&c. c. Surface supplies naturally have
a higher content. Ordinarily the num-
Der of lquifying bacteria and the
number of different species in a pure
water should not be large. The num-
Der of bacteria capable of growing at
blood heat is small in pure water The
presence of large numbers of acid pro-
ducing organisms may be indicative of
sewage pollution. Waters containing
colon bacteria (the type found in in
festival tract of man and animals) in
any considerable numbers should be
regarded as suspicious, especially if
the supply is from subterrapea"
origin. y

LOCAL TESTS UNSATISFACTORY
State Tests are Made to Cover Water
From Lake at Several Taps and From
Wells in the City-Little Difference
in Results Attained by the Tests.

The first results of tests of water
made since the installation of the
chlorinating system at the pumping
station were received from the state
laboratory this morning by the commits
sioner of health and these reports show
that while the chlorination has i'm
proved the condition of the water thaa
the best results are not as yet being
secured. Local tests of the water
proved unsatisfactory but new bunch
of samples We're started in the test
this morning and the officials hope for
better results in this test.
The tests covered four samples Of
water sent to the state department.
Two were from city mains and two
from wells. The water from the city
mains showed up just about as well as
the water from the wells. Water TAX

Werner on Milwaukee. This sample
L
failed to show any appearance of
the colon bacteria. DR.. Smith, who
made the test of the water, stated that
wlle the count of bacteria was too
high that the water was safe for use.
Water taken from tap near the Dur
kee school while showing no colon bac-
cilli showed high count of bacteria
Of other forms and was held to be
suspicious by the state department.
Water taken from one of the wells
in the city showed a count of bacteria
about tenth as high as the last
specimen Of lake water tested This
water was held to have too high
count of bacteria, but was declared to

There are hundreds of people both on
the north and south sides of the river
who believe that the opening of Ash
land avenue is one of the greatest pub
lie improvements the city has made in
years and they are very anxious to
have this work completed and this
additional means of communication be-
tween the two great divisions of the
city made ready for use. That being
the case the street railway company
can do much to regain the good will
of the people of the city by getting
the bridge over the river which it is
required to build under the terms or
its franchise completed in the. short
est possible time. The N. r. Allen S
Sons Company and the Northwestern
Railway Company have done what they
could to help complete all of the for
malities In connection with the open
ing of the street in record time, the
SoHAAAAoh OouHC1 pdooSu GuS Vacation
ordinances in the shortest possible
time allowed under the law, and it is
up to the street railway company to
do its share to forward the work. The
higher officials of the street railway
company have doubtless been kept in
formed of the progress Of preparations
for opening the street by their repre-
sentatives in Kenosha and they should
be ready to act on receiving the formal
notice OF the opening of the street
which will be served Immediately after
the next meeting of the council. 1t
will not cost dollar more to build
this bridge at once than to wait until
the last minute allowed under the
terms of its contract with the city and
by so doing the officials will show that
their repeated assertions that it is
their wish to merit and receive the
good will of the people of the city and
to advance the interests Of the city in
every way in their power, are more
than empty words. Tie company has
an opportunity to show its good faith
in the way it handles this bridge
proposition and it can show right here
that it is not the intention to make
the city fight for everything guar
anteed to it in its franchise contract
with the street railway.

WADE READY TO GIVE BOND.
Contractor Claims He Has Carefully
Figured Cost of Building Roads.

Figured Cost of Building Roads.
Contractor George r. Wade this
morning declared that he was ready and
willing to back up his bid for the build
ing of concrete roadWays il the county
with sufficient bond to secure the
completion of the work and he asserted
that while his bid may have been re-
markably lower than those put in by
other contractors that he had figured
the work with great care and that at
the figures he had offered the county
that the work could be done with a
profit of lie square yard to the con-
tractor. f.This was no hit or miss
bid, !" said Wade, but a bid presented
after the most careful of figuring and
| stand ready to proceed with the work
at once under my bid. I have gone into
the figures with more than ordinary
care, both before and after the sub
mission Of the bids and | insist that
the work can be done at these figures
and with a fair profit to me. My bond
will be ready fer the consideration Of
the state highway commission at any
time. -
1t is expected that the state commits
sion will take some action on the bids
within the next few days as the local
officials are decidedly anxious to get
the work started in order that it may
be completed by the first of August,
the date set on the contracts.

cal connections In the state. As the
publisher of country newspaper, as
q successful lawyer and possibly one
of the men in Wisconsin, who, more
than any other man, has given study
and attention to farm life subjects,
many of his views during this session,
have found way to become laws. He
has specialized along cooperative
questions and his county leads in the
number Of farmers cooperative asso-
Citations.
It is claimed for him that he is an
aggressive fighter. There is no just
reason why he should not be acceptable
to the LaFollette wing of the party
and probably will be in case his can
didaey does not conflict with the Nor
ris program. Hull has many warm
personal and political friends all
through the banner republican coun-
ties Of the state and is especially
strong in the farming counties.
Against him is urged the opposition
of the close corporation men Of the
university who attempt to read in
every criticism Of that institution an
attack upon education. Hull has
steadfastly fought this spirit and in
the main has been one of its friends
instead of an enemy. He believes
that certain customs and
practices have grown up in the institu-
tion which should be remedied and has
not failed to call the attention Of the
legislature to these matters.

TEACH STUDENTS PATRIOTISM
Commander Charles E. Likes Calls on
All Patriotic People to Join in the
Annual Observance of the ''Day of
Memories in Kenosha~
PROCLAIMs MAY 80 AS
MEMORIAL DAY.

Gov. McGovern on Wednesday
issued proclamation designat-
ing May 30 as Memorial Day
and recommending that it be OBJ
served by suitable exercises in
which all the people may join.
The proclamation follows:
This is a year of inspiring
historic recollections. 1t is the
semi-centennial of the emancipa
tion proclamation, of the cam
paign about Vicksburg, of Get
tysburg and Lookout Mountain.
1t is the centennial of Commo-
dore Perry's brilliant victory
over the British on Lake Erie.
It is year, therefore, when the
ceremonies of Memorial Day
should be especially impressive
and significant.
g In order that the sentiments
appropriate to such time may
not fail Of adequate expression,
and in conformity with estab-
lished custom, |, Francis 3. Nc
Govern, governor of Wisconsin,
hereby designate Friday, May
80, A. D. 1913, as Memorial Day,
and / earnestly recommend that
it be observed by suitable exer
cises in which all the people
may join. Every public school
should unite with patriotic socie
ties and others in reviewing
deeds of sacrifice and heroism
and in impressing lessons of
patriotism.
"While thus honoring the
dead who sustained the nations
standards in time of war the
beautiful custom of also rever-
encing the memory Of departed
relatives and friends who have
died in times of peace should be
continued; for floral offerings
dedicated to this sacred service
reflect beauty into the lives of
those who give them.
"In testimony whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and cs.us-
ed the great seal of the State Of
Wisconsin to be affixed. Done
at the capitol in the City of
Madison this twenty-frst day Of
May in the year Of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and thir-
teen.

Governor.
