Some of the boxing promoters in
some Of the cities of the state may be
expected to try out" the new boxing
commission at the first favorable OPP
portunity to see how much leeway they
can safely take under the rules for the
conduct OF exhibitions as laid down by
the commission but, unless everybody
is mistaken in the makeup of the com
mission, the promoters who try any
funny business viii find out where
they stand without any annoying de-
lay. The commission appears to be
competent TO handle any matter that is
put up 90 it, and the commission is
going to have the backing of the more
responsible Gibbs who want the game
to last in Wisconsin.

BOY DROWNED AT ZION.
Sixteen Year Old Boy Loses His Life in
an Effort to Save His Fathers Hat.

Rowland Valkenaar, a 16 year old
boy, lost his life in Lake Michigan at
Zion City, Thursday afternoon, while
trying to rescue his father s hat which
had blown into the water.
w. H. Valkenaar, the father, deacon
in the Zion church, went to the rescue
of his son in leaky boat, equipped
with only one oar. The craft and its
occupant were blown far out into the
lake. The boat filed with water and
capsized.
After clinging to the bottom of the
boat for more than two hours the man
was rescued by Capt. A. A. Walker,
chief of the Zion police. The delay in
the rescue was caused by the absence of
any boats along the shore. The police
had to bring boat by wagon from Zion
City.

About the only thing certain in The
school situation at this time is that
there is at least the same percentage
of increase in attendance as has been
shown at the opening of the schools for
the past four or five years and that
the superintendent and the school board
are, going to have their regular troubles
finding accommodations for all of the
children seeking places in the schools.
The problem of insufficient accommo-
dations on the first day of the school
year has been met and solved before
and will be solved again this year, but
parents who are dissatisfied with the
places given their children should exer-
else little patience and give the
school authorities little time to
straighten out the thousand and one
matters that come up at this time be-
fore making complaints. They can rest
assured that proper accommodations
will be furnished for all with as little
delay as possible and that The best pos
sible use will be made Of the space at
the disposal of the superintendent and
the board.

USUAL DEFICIT AT GOLF CLUB
Annual Meeting Held Monday Evening
Shows Shortage of $500 for Year.

Inc annual meeting of the members
OF the kenosha Country club was held
at the club house on Monday evening
and the report of the secretary and
treasurer showed that the usual deficit
was to be met. The club lacked $500
OF being self supporting this season
and this deficit will be made up with an
assessment upon the members.
From social standpoint the season
has been great success. The member
ship was shown to be the largest in the
history of the club. The entertainment
OF the state tournament was the big
feature Of the season. No changes were
made in tn list of directors of the club
Tor the coming year, G. D. Barnes, w.
D. Frost and G. c. Allen being elected

How long are these shootings and
Standings to be allowed to continued
Kenosha has had warnings and lessons
enough to incite any other community
to drastic action but the great major
ity of the people of the city have con-
tinued indifferent to conditions that are
alarming enough now and which may be
expected to grow rapidly worse. 1t is
time to wake up and do something.
There should be a general disarming Of
the elements of the population that
have been mixed up in these shooting
and stabbing ARRAYS and it should begin
at once. No one cares what particular
methods are employed to bring about
the desired results so long as they are
effective and the authorities may go
to any extreme that developments may
show to be necessary with the full con
sent and approval of the law abiding
people of the community. A frontier
camp of the old days where the man
quickest on the draw was the most re-
spected citizen is the only thing to
which certain sections of this city can
be compared at the present time and
it will be remembered that most of
these camps organized vigilance COM
mittees every time the gun fighters and
bad men threatened to get the upper
hand of the regularly constituted au-
thorities. The great majority of the
people of this community are law abid-
ing and peace loving and they are going
to find a way to put stop to this con-
slant succession of crimes of violence
and they are not going to stop at any
thing to attain the end sought.

Vulnerable other things connected with
the running of the buildings, with

A city Of this size needs two attend

administration is held responsible by
the state authorities for the careful ex-
ecuflon OF the continuation senool laws,
as IS shown by Miss Lundberg 5 report.
Besides these reasons for a woman as

estry or agriculture, advisability of
preserving and extending the reserve,
and questions of local taxation. In
connection with this measure the state
soil survey has been ordered to make
an examination of the reserve.
By a committee of ten members,
probe of the courts Of Wisconsin, the
object being to suggest ways to expe-
dite litigation and clear away defects.
This committee win be appointed, two
by the president of the senate, two by
the speaker, and three by the governor
Two others will be the president of
the state bar association, and the
president of the Wisconsin branch of
the American Institute Of Criminology.
These are not all the Investigations
provided for. The state board of pub
lie, affairs, which investigates any prob
lem on which information is needed,
has been continued with an increased
appropriation of $4,000 yearly It's
membership has been increased by
adding the speaker of the assembly
and president of the senate.
In connection with the water power
law there will be an examination of
all water power sites in the state, both
used and unused. The railroad com
mission will employ a hydraulic engi-
neer to make the survey, and if prac.
ticable it will be done in conjunction
with. the state and national geological
surveys.
The state superintendent Of schools
has been empowered to appoint COM
mittees to investigate needs and con
ditions in rural schools and make
recommendations, and aid him in re-
vising courses Of study. These inves-
tigators will not be compensated, and
there is no appropriation.
AS a means of getting at the true
value of lands in northern Wisconsin
some of which are said to be held by
large corporations, because they con-
tain mineral deposits, the State Geo
logical Survey will examine and classi-
fly all such lands into mineral and
agricultural and report 80 the tax
commission so that assessments may
be made accordingly.
A number of Investigations will be
made relative to labor. The indus
trial commission s duties are enlarged
in this direction by new, laws which
empower it to fix hours of labor for
women and minors and determine the
conditions of safe employment. Tie
whole administration of the minimum
wage law for women, which Is now in
effect, is based upon the power of the

TAKE UP MOTHERS PENT|QnS
Investigation Of the white Slave
Evil in the State Promises to Furnish
Sensational Reading Between SEES
sions of the Legislature.

Six legislative investigations, on
which to base prospective remedial
laws two years hence, are authorized
to be held in the interval before the
next legislature convenes. In addi-
ton a number of other Investigations
will be conducted, out of which other
suggestions will grow.
Chief among the investigations are:
One, by the board Of control, to
clear up the problem of mothers pen
tons and aid for dependent children,
and suggest improvements in the
present law, which is admittedly of
experimental character. The board is
given $4,000.
By special legislative committee,
of the social evil and white slave
traffic, already launched in a prelimin-
airy inquiry in Madison. This commit
tee has $4,000 for expenses.
By commission of three senators
and four assemblymen, questions of
insurance against sickness, accident,
and invalidity, and old age pensions.
The commission was provided for in
a resolution. Gov. McGovern vetoed
the appropriation bill, but it is likely
the commission will 60 ahead and
trust to the next legislature to foot
its bills.

Miss Lundberg's criticism of truancy
work should not be considered as an
evidence of ineficiency on the part of
the present officer. He has done all he
could do under the circumstances, but
since his duties include many other
forms of service, such conditions came
to exist as were disclosed by Miss Lund-
berg's careful survey. l believe that
he should have an assistant for the tru-
ancy work, and prefer that this assist
ant should be a woman.
The proper management Of truancy
cases should be remedial; there is fire.
quently need of investigation of home
conditions. This our present officer has
many times attempted, reporting the
same to the superintendent But there
are many cases where woman would
do better. There is need of advice, of
assistance, of encouragement to strug-
Cling mother or father instead of the
threat of the law; there is need of fol
low-up-work, to see the effect of action
taken, or of promises made; there is
need of immediate attention to eases re-
ported, a thing frequently impossible

TIRED OF LIFE
EATS S1RYCHNINE

Tuesday a man by the name OF
Fretwell attempted to take his life
by swallowing a quantity Of strych-
nine. He was taken to the Cald-
we'll hospital, where prompt medical
attention soon brought him around.
It appears that late Tuesday al.
ternoon, Fretwell, who Is well
known here and in Jordan Valley
becoming desponden over financial
matters, decided that life was not
worth the living. He entered the
bowling alley and asked for a jack
knife. Going into the alley back OF
the room, he opened the bottle and
raised it to his lips. Several of the
men in the bowling alley were
watching him and saw that he put
the bottle on a ledge at his elbow.
Coming back to the room he almost
Immediately was seized with strong
commissions. Medical assistance be-
Ing hurredly summoned and the bot
tie being found to contain strich-
nine, Fretwell was taken to the
hospital. The physician stated that

more of the poison he would have
been beyond human aid. Fretwell
will recover.

Federal AID
FOR THE ROADS

The question of Congress granting
Federal aid in road improvement
throughout the United States will in
all probability receive favorable con-
sideration in the near future.
The matter is now in the hands of
the Joint Committee on Feredal aid
in the Construction of Post Roads, at
Washington. In order to arrive at
an intelligent conclusion as to just
what the people in this community
want, the committee has requested
The Tribune to give some publicity
to the matter and ask that the people
write this paper giving their views.
The people of Canyon county are Wit
ally interested and ample expression
should be Forthcoming at once. An
answer to the following questions, in
brief form, should be at once mailed
to The Tribune:
l. Should the Government make
appropriations in aid of public roads ?
3. On what roads should the first
Government appropriation, if made
be expended: (a) all roads; (b) pos,
roads (r.fd. and star routes); (c)
main travelled market roads; (d)
main highways connecting importan,
cities and towns in State; (e) trunk
line, interstate highways connecting
State capitals and large cities?
3. Should the Government appro'
priation be expended on construction
on maintenance, on general improve
ment, or on any or all of these, OF
should the allotment by the Govern
ment be unconditional, or paid as
reward after local authorities hav'
/, constructed or maintained highwa,
in good condition.?
4. What proportion of cost OF con
struction, improvement, or mainten
ance should be bourne by nationa
government state, county, road dis
trict, and abutting property owners
respectively, or what amounts shoul
