Kenosha Grand Army men and mem
bers of organizations affiliated with the
Grand Army of the Republic left for
Madison this morning to attend the
department encampment of the Grand
Army and the state conventions Of the
various organizations affiliated with the
organization of the veterans.
There were more than dozen peo-
pic in the Kenosha party this being
one Of the largest delegations that Ke-
nosha ever sent. to department. en-
campment. Representing Fred S. Lowell
Post of the Grand Army were: III. F.
Truax, A. H. Kruckman, II. A. King,
Commander Oscar Rector, Past Com
mander G. E. Likes, Frank FL. Lyman,
Paul Sauber, Adolph Burg and Joshua
Coshun. Comrades Truax and Kruck-
man are the regular delegates of the
post to the department encampment.
Representing the Woman's Relief
Corps were: Mrs. George R. Wade and
Mrs. E. Dawson; Mrs. Frank Lane and
Mrs. Nellie Clark will represent the
Kenosha Fortress of the Daughters of
the G. A. r., and Mrs. G. E. Likes and
Mrs. Jacob Vollmer viii be the repre-
sentatives of Kenosha at the state
meeting of the ladies of the G. A. R.
The new camp of the Sons of Veter-
ans will be represented at the depart
ment eneampment by Robert 2. Likes.
The Kenosha delegates to the vari-
Gus meetings viii have their headquar-
tiers at the Park Hotel.
The department encampment at Mad
ison promises to be one of the most
notable reunions Of the veterans ever
held in Wisconsin. It is expected that
fully a thousand men who served In
the Union army VIII. be present and
EVERY post of the Grand Army in the
state VIII be represented. During the
war many of the regiments of Wiscon-
sin troops were modified at Madison
and in connection with the encampment
there will be a large number OF regi-

Thursday will be the big day of the
reunion as this time Washington
Gardner Of Michigan, commander in
chief of the Grand amy, will be the
guest of honor and will make an adj
dress to the Wisconsin veterans.
Kenosha has been suggested as a pos
sible candidate for the 1915 encamp-
ment of the Wisconsin Grand Army,
but the suggestion has met with little
favor among the Kenosha veterans.

Kenosha care to entertain a state en-
campment,'' said Commander Oscar
Rector, before leaving for Madison to-
day. eve have never entertained the
comrades of the state and we shall not
invite them for 1915. 1T would be a
great pleasure for the members of the
Fred S. Lowell Post to have the honor
Of entertaining the state encampment,
but large fund would have to be pro-
vided and the veterans have no way to
secure such fund. Probably later on
the people of Kenosha will take up the
matter and invite the veterans to Ke-
nosha.

year and comparing the difference with
the time spent in school, it is found
that but one-ffth Of child Is waking
hours are spent in school during the
year 1t is the business of the home
to look after the other four ffths,-a
difficult thing to do In cities like ours.
But the average school year is much
less than 1913 days Although compli-
anee with compulsory attendance reg
ulations has been more general than
ever before, there has been much abb
sence from sickness. Last year, the
total absence from sickness as direct
or an indirect cause, amounted, Gas is
shown in my annual report, page 35)
al average Of SIX days FOR every
Child. The statistics for this year as
completed to date show still greater
loss. The total absence from sickness
from the opening of school in Septem-
Der to the end Of April, 1914, being 1886
days more than for the same length of
time last year.
Besides absence from sickness there
is occasional unavoidable absence from
other causes, which still further reduces
the average number Of days attendance
for each child. So that to put the
average number of days attendance for
each child this year at 100 days instead
of at 1913 days, is high estimate judg
ing from the statistics of 1912 and
1913.
In 1912, the average number of days
of school attendance in the elementary
grades of Kenosha was 149 days. This
is found by dividing the total days at
tendance by the net enrolment. In
1913 it was 146 days. This means an
average respectively of Sl91a hours and
803 hours in school during the year, or
about one-tenth Of the total time, OF
one-seventh of the waking time Of the
child.
It may be incidentally remarked here,
that, in the light of such facts as these,
teachers often wonder at tbs justice Of
holding schools accountable when chill
dren turn out undesirable citizens.

1t is the realization of just such facts
as / have given here that is causing
the public in a good many localities to
consider whether or not it is best for
the general good of the social whole
that such small proportion of the time
Of the population be spent in
school; whether provision should not be
made for keeping children more Of
their time under the influence of the
school; whether it ism t about time that

candidate brought out under the Me-
Govern auspices for the United States
senate against Senator LaFollette in
the campaign two years hence. In
other words, it means that the old

will be fully as long drawn out. if
present indications point to ANYTHING.
as was the LaFollette- stalwart war.
Whether Senator LaFollette retains
the power to down this new McGovern
organization, as he did the old time
stalwart organization remains to be-
seen.
The LaFollette leaders in the stata
claim to have no fear of this new or
ganization and say it will be defeated
as was the old stalwart organization.
The outlook, however, is for another
political battle in this state which will
draw the attention of the nation, as
have all the political battles in which
the LaFollette people have been inter-
ested. There is no question either but
mat the Latollette people are prepar-
ing for the fight, and will go to great
lengths in their efforts to defeat Gov.
McGovern for any future political
preferment.
Senator Stephenson is a wise old
fighter, and PROFESSIONALLY viii do all
in his power to obtain results from his
political plans. In way, Gov. Nc
Govern is to be the beneficiary of
political opposition to him from other
sources, just as was Senator LaFollette
when the Marinette senator entered
the lists as the champion and patron
saint of Mr.. LaFollette in 1900.
Whether Senator Stephenson will prove
as powerful an aid to Gov. McGovern
as he once did to Senator LaFollette
is, however, question.

Green Bay Man Announces
Himself as Candidate For
Republican Nomination.
SEES CuRTA|LNENT COMING

4 Senator Timothy Burke of Green
Bay made a formal announcement on
Monday of his candidacy for the re-
publican nomination for United States
senator. He outlined at that time his
ideas on national affairs and questions.
- In making my announcement as
candidate for the United States SEN
ate, he said, there are a few ques-
tions on which / wish to declare my
position. The Panama canal just about
to be completed cost this nation APP
proximately $50,0oo,oo0 and / do not.
think we are justified in paying Colon,
bia $25,000,000 or any other sum, which
seems like paying tribute to the Cor
sairs Of old 1t is urged with great
deal sof force and argument that we
should repeal the law which permits
vessels engaged in American coastwise
trade to pass through the canal without
toll charge. The question of free tolls
to American ships is not a matter of
international concern. Neither is the
subject of free tolls a subject for ar
filtration. It is purely an American
problem.
On the question of expenditures,
both state and national, we are all
aware that the cost of everything has
increased during the last decade, and
that the people require more from the
government than they did years ago.
But whatever may have been the mis-
takes of the past the dawn of retrench-
ment is at hand.
"This nation has thrived under a
protective tariff for a period of fifty
three years with a few exceptions. I
believe that the American people made
mistake when they voted for an
abandonment of the protective feature
of our tariff laws. Depression and
sometimes disaster, has followed in the
wake of the abandonment of that
policy and I look to see a return Of
that policy
s In our efforts to arrive at tne goal
of perfection in government affairs we
are somewhat inclined to seek results
regardless of che manner of procedure.
IOf late we are inclined to concentrate
the government in the hands of the
few, to the detriment of the self
governing rignos of the people. In
stead of takirg the safe and sane paths
under the law and constitution we are
prone to take crosscut flight to re-
form.

RETURN $4,000 FROM FUND.
Commissioners of Gilbert M. Simmons
Library Make Return to City.

The city treasurer had $4,000 more
money on hand today than he had yes
terday as this morning the treasurer re-
ceived check from the directors. Of
the Gilbert NJ. Simmons library for the
sum Of $4,000, this being the amount
returned to the treasury from the an
nual appropriation for the library. The
amount is not quite as large as the,
amount returned in 1913, as the mem
bers of the library board found that
there would be need for a little more
money in handling the affairs of the
library for this year. $5ea0 of the
amount returned from the library fund
will be used in paying for the park and
boulevard on South Ashland avenue and
the remainder will be turned into the
general fund.- The total appropriation
for the library this year was 26,030.09.
This will give the directors net fund

DEATH OF MRS. W. w. HANAMAN.
Wife of Well Known Kenosha Teacher
Died at Madison This Morning.

Mrs. Cora Graves Hanaman aged 80
years, wife of w. w. Hanaman, princi-
pal of the Durkee school in Kenosha,
died at Madison just after two clock
this morning, death resulting from
blood poisoning following child birth.
Mrs. Hanaman had been Unconscious
for 40 hours before her death.
The death of Mrs. Hanaman has
caused great sorrow among the women
of Kenosha as she had taken an active
part in several of the organizations of
the women of the city. A woman of
refinement and culture she became a
leader soon after she came to the city
five years ago. She was active in the
work of the Kenosha chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
and of the Woman's Alliance.
Mrs. Hanaman was a native of Tenn
peleau, Wis, and was educated at the
Normal school at Winona, Wis. She was
married to Mr.. Hanaman five years ago
this month and since that time had re-
sided in Kenosha until she went to
Madison with her husband at the open
ing of the last at the university.
The remains will be taken to the old
home at Trempeleau on Wednesday and
the funeral services will be held there
later in the week. Mr.. Hanaman is
the sole surviving member of the fam
lily.
