for Several Short Sewers on Friday.
The street assessment committee
met at the Office of the mayor on Fri
day afternoon and opened bids for
sewers on Grand avenue, West street
and South Chicago street. John Green,
Andrew Thompson and Chris johnson
were the low bidders for the sewers.
The bid on Grand avenue was $1.65
per foot for fifteen inch sewer; on
West street $1.10 for a twelve inch
sewer, and on South Chicago street
$1.15 for a twelve inch sewer. Chris
johnson was the low bidder for the
sewer stubs on Park and Edward
streets, his bid being SO each. Mayor
Head took occasion to call the con-
tractors TO task, demanding that they
complete the work now under contract
with the city at the earliest possible
moment. He declared that he would
be very much opposed to granting
more contracts to contractors who fail
ed to complete the work within rea-
sonable time.

mos the entire voting strength of the
rural districts. The official canvass

date for reelection as superintendent
of schools, received splendid endorse
ment from the voters in the rural dis
tricts Of the county, receiving 100

Kenosha May Have Chance
to See Big Exhibit Pre-
pared by Naval School.
or INTEREST TO YOUNG MEN

There is prospect that Kenosha
will have one of the most interesting
government displays ever built during
the coming summer months as the Of
ficials Of the city have received COM
munication from the recruiting Of
fcers at the United States Naval Sta
tion at Lake Bluff asking that they
take an interest in naval display that
is being prepared there and which is
to be shown in leading cities of the
country during the coming summer.
The exhibit will consist of number
of models of naval vessels, an ordi-
nance exhibit from the seaman S gun
er's class at Washington, display Of
the. electrical school, including radio,
the maehinist's school and the artil-
lery officers school.
The exhibit is offered to Kenosha
providing the city will furnish a place.
for the display, free light, water, cleo
trlc current and proper packing
facilities.
The exhibit is being prepared with
the purpose of showing the young men
and boys just what is being done in
the various naval schools under the
control of the United States govern
ment. 1t is expected that the display
of it will result in many recruits be-
ing secured for the naval training
school.
Mayor Head has already taken the
matter up with the naval training sta
tion and it is pretty certain that this
interesting exhibit will be brought to
Kenosha some time during the sum
mer months.

In order to relieve the congestion in
the down town district the chief of
police has ordered the roller skaters
to keep off the walks and he can give
pedestrians in all other parts of the
city the share of the walk to Which
they are entitled and increase their
safety, by notifying the bicycle riders
that the special privilege TO ride their
wheels on the walks given them during
the winter months is now revoked.
There is not now the slightest neces-
sity for any one to ride bicycle on
the walks, especially on those walks
bordering on paved streets, and the
riders should have sense enough to get
back into the streets without waiting
to be told to. The permission to use
the walks was given them as a privi-
lege, not as a right, but toe many of
the riders appear to forget that the
way to secure a continuance of a fav-
or is to show that it is appreciated.
Should any one be run down or in
jured at this time Of the year when
the bicycles have no business on the
walks it might be difficult matter
for the riders to get permission to use
them next winter.

ADOPT SIMPLE GOWNS
Girl Members of the High
School Senior Class are to
Wear Simple FrOcks.
SAILOR SUITS FOR GRADUATES

The sweet girl graduate will be very
much in evidence at the annual COM
mencement exercises of the Kenosha
high school to be held in June, but the
frills and furbelows which have made
commencement big expense for the
parents of the young women will be
missing this year.
At a meeting of the senior class of
the high school held on Wednesday af-
ternoon the young women of the class
by a unanimous vote DECIDED to do
away with the graduation gown" in
Kenosha this year and when they APP
pear on the platform for the last chap
ter of their school life they will APP
pear in neat white sailor suits. For
years the girls of the Kenosha schools
have been seeking to find way to
simplify commencement attire, but this
is the first year that an agreement
could be reached. 1t had been sug-
gested that caps and gowns similar to
those used in the universities be
adopted for this year, but this plan
was turned down on account Of the fact
that the students were not unanimous
in the support of it. No provision is
made for the young men in the class.
but it is understood that they will
seek to simplify as much as possible
the commencement clothing and make
the expense of it as low as possible
as well.
At the meeting of the class final ar
rangements were made for commence
ment and it IS planned to have many
features for commenceent week this
year. The annual class play which in
other years has been given on the
night before the diplomas are present
ed will be given earlier in commence
ment week this year. The play will
be "The Rivals" and all parts will
be taken by members Of the senior
class. Plans have already been made
to give the play a proper scenic pro-
duction. The cast Of characters for
the play will be announced within
few days.
There will be forty-four members of
the senior class to receive diplomas
and the full program will be given to
the public within the next six weeks.
Speakers for the various class func-
tions have now been selected and they
are busy at work on their orations.
The speaker for the main commence
ment exercise will be William Lloyd
Davis of the University of Wisconsin.
He will deliver an address on some
phase of educational work in the state.
The student speakers will appear at
the various functions of the class dur
ing commencement week. The list of
these speakers is as follows:
Valedictorian-Mis Bessie Schulien.
Saluta6orian-Miss Helen Hacken-
berger.
Class History-George Becker.
Glass Will-Ernest Bostetter.
Class Prophecy = Miss Charlotte
Cooper.
Glass Poem-Lawrence Eastman.
Junior Farewell-Earl Scbmitz.

pressed an opinion either way, lit
tie over half of the total number vot-
ing, voted yes on both questions sub
mitted to a referendum at the election
Tuesday and it now becomes the duty
of the council to carry out both pro-
jects. One thing in connection with
this vote is very noticeable and that
there was absolutely no sectional
feeling shown in the vote. the vot-
ing of the people of the north side of
the city who will be directly bene-
fitted was no heavier in favor of the
improvements than the vote in the
south wards Of the city.

\ Last year, for the first time, the
gross earnings of railroads in the
United States topped three billion dol
lars. The amount is all the more sig
nifcant when it is remembered that
only fifteen years ago gross earnings
were very little in excess of one bill
lion-total length of road meanwhile
having increased but ninety per cent.
Measured by revenues handled, this
is obviously huge industry. Meas.
ured by its Importance to all other
industry, it bulks still larger. 1t is
all privately owned and-with import
ant restrictions privately managed.
There is no lack of complaint on either
side; but on a broad view it must be
said that the public and this huge
privately owned business are now get
ting on pretty well together, and it is
certainly noteworthy that at present
there are louder complaints on the
railroads side than on the public 3.
10 bring this great and tremendously
important privately owned industry in
to a fairly satisfactory relationship
with the public is an achievement of
which the country may well be proud
especially as that and the establish
ment of tie gold standard are its only
economic achievements in the last
twenty years that furnish any reason
for pride.
To handle increasing traffic requires,
of course, more cars, engines, second
track, side-track, heavier rails. en-
larged terminals all of which mean
constantly increasing capital invest
ment. To get the capital, the roads
must be able to earn a fair return up-
On it. To impair their earnings be-
low THAI point is to stop their growth.
We think they need have no fear on
That score, though some railroad men
profess to- think otherwise. Assum-
ing, as we do, those fears to be ground
less, the railroad problem--so far as
present expesience goes--is fairly
solved by the combination of private
ownership and public regulation.-
