No class of playgoers can deliver
heavier blow at theatrical prosperity
than the Jews, who are constant pat
rons and a considerable proportion of
most audiences. They are class con-
scious, moreover, and able to act to-
gether in matters concerning their in
terest with as much unanimity as
smaller classes.
So, when forty-two Jewish organi-
cations decide to organize censorship
Of theatres of all grades and to punish
caricatures of Jewish traits, it is not
an idle threat.
On the contrary, considering that
Jews are numerous not only in theater
audiences but in the management of
theatrical affairs and among the ac-
tors, it should be possible to sweep
Objectionable matter from the stage
rather easily and thoroughly.
And, certainly, if this is done intel
ligently, as it is certain to be, the non
Jewish public will give the movement
sympathetic support. Caricature of
the Jew has been too frequently cruel
and vulgar. 1t has given too much en-
enlargement to the immature, the BIZ
goted, and the ignorant, whose race
prejudice should be rebuked rather
than infamed in public places.
Comic and even sharply satiric por-
trayals of Jewish foibles are appre-
ciated by the Jews themselves, as the
Americans of other race strains are
amused by caricatures of themselves.
But there are limits beyond which race
enmities and prejudicies are fostered,
and these limits ought to be re-
spected.-Tribune.

OPPOSED TO DRAINAGE CANAL
Raymond and Yorkville Townships
Satisfied With Sloughs.

The proposed drainage canal for
Racine and Kenosha counties, which
is to run from Paris, Kenosha county,
north through Yorkville and Ray
mond in Racine county to within
about a half mile of Milwaukee
county line, was the cause of remon-
Judge E. B. Belden in Racine Monday.
The different attorneys for the many
demonstrators met in private confer
ence with the judge at 2 O'Clock
Those opposed from the township of
Raymond were present in a body.
Residents from Yorkville along the
proposed drainage canal were also
present, but none from Kenosha coun-
ty. The general complaint seems to
be that the drainage, if put into oper
alton as outlined, would ruin strips
Of property which are now valuable
and productive, especially in Ray
mend. Inc attorneys Tor the remon-
strators hold that the petition is in
sufficient in that it does not contain
the required number of signers. They
also allege that the notice for the court
hearing is insufficient and site the law
under which this proceeding was taken
as unconstitutional and void They
claim the court to have no jurisdic-
tion in the matter of the remon-
strances, for the reason that the legal
service of the notice ON the true own
ers of the parts of land affected by
the drainage was not secured at the
time of the petition for the canal.

The cotton moth has made its ap-
pearance in the city again this sum-
mer and many of the trees in all sec
tions of the city are already covered
with the cottony scales. The trees
that were attacked by this pest two
years ago have hardly recovered their
strength sufficiently to stand another
siege and unless something is done in
the way of spraying to get rid of these
moths, the city will suffer the loss of
some Of its finest trees. 1t is probable
that most of the trees attacked by
this pest can be saved if measures are
taken at once, but it will not do to
let it nun its course entirely uncheck-
ed. The trees are much too valuable
to risk and property owners who have
a proper appreciation of their value
will take no chances. Trees that can
not be replaced in fifty years, were
sacrificed by the ignorance or indiffer-
ence of their owners the last time
the cotton moths attacked them, we
have lost many more by the grading
of streets and putting in pavements to
arbitrarily established grades before
we had . park commission and the
city cannot afford many more such
losses. Every property owner in the
city is deeply interested in the preser-
walton Of the natural beauties Of the
city and should do his share to save
the trees.

The contract for the paving Of Sa-
lem avenue comes up again at the next
meeting of the council and an effort
will doubtless be made by the alder
men to arrange for the completion Of
the work in the shortest possible time.
Under the circumstances the delays in
improving this street were unavoidable
but the troubles in connection with
this paving contract were the most an
noying the council has had to contend
with in some time because everybody
was eager to see this work get start
ed. The Salem avenue property own
ers and the people of the city gener-
ally are TO be congratulated on the
prospect for the early completion Of

THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1913.

There are signs that the epidemic
Of measles which the city has been
enjoying (?) for the last two or three
months has about run its course and
that the number Of cases of the
disease will decrease rapidly from now
on. The spread of the disease was due
to the carelessness of people who
should have known better in exposing
others to contagion and to the widely
prevalent belief among all classes that
no child can grow up without under
going siege of the measles with the
resultant carelessness in permitting
children to be exposed. The blame
for the spread of the disease rests with
the parents of the children who had
it. 1t would have been ridiculous
and impossible for the health depart
ment to have attempted to enforce the
rigid quarantine on measles that IS
maintained in more serious and more
dangerous contagious diseases. To
have attempted to do so would only
have weakened the authority of the
department. 1t would have done no
harm for the health officer to have
made an example Of some of the peo-
pie who defed his authority absolute
~ and made not the slightest attempt
to obey any of his orders for the pro-
lection Of their neighbors, but it would
have been hard matter and perhaps
an injustice to single out few for
punishment when if the strict letter
Of the regulations was followed, so
many would have been liable to be
called to account for their acts.

To layman that decision of Judge
Belden, denying the Milwaukee Light,
Heat and Traction Company the right
to operate its interurban cars in the
streets of Kenosha under it's agree

werable argument and appeals to him
not only as common sense, but good
law as WE'LL 1t is certain that the
railway people will not be content to
accept his decision as final, however,
and from present indications the prop
erty owners will have to carry their
case to the supreme court and win it
there before the railway company will

of a lawyer to find something in any

If the merchants along State street
