The night schools under the direc-
ton of the Industrial School Board are
winning an unusual success and at the
third sessions of the school on Monday
evening more than $50 were registered
and it is declared that there is every
reason to believe that the number will
reach the seven hundred mark before
the lists are closed for the year. D. E.
Scull in charge of the schools is now
looking about to find out just what the
scholars of the evening schools demand
and to furnish courses in keeping with
these demands. He has recently put
in a class for machinists and has more
than one-third of all the machinists in
the city entered for the work. Glasses
for older people who desire to study
the English language are attracting a
great deal Of attention and plans are
now being laid to have class in retail
craftsmanship in the night schools
There are more than five hundred
young men and women in Kenosha who
earn their living as statesmen and sales
ladies. Many of these people have
never had chance to study any meth
DDS of work and they have just drifted
along from year to year keeping in the
same old rut fThere is big demand
for instruction in craftsmanship in Ke-
nosha" said Mr.. Scull this morning "I
feel certain that course of this kind
would prove of great value to lot of
people in Kenosha. We want to get a
series of lectures to start the interest
in this work and then it will be neces-
sary to have some first class teacher
for craftsmanship. I believe that such

The first notice of the examination
by the state highway commission of
candidates for the Office of highway
commissioner for Kenpsha county was
published today, but unless something
very unexpected happens the examina-
tion Will be largely matter of form.
The work done by the present commits
sioner has given such universal salts
faction not only to the members of the
county board but to the people of the
county generally that his reelection
for the full term is desired by everyone
interested in the advancement Of good
roads work in the county. He came
into Office at time when many of the
people of the county were SO Disguised
with the county's experiences in road
building that they were willing TO see
the appropriations Tor highway work
cut to the minimum or abandoned al
together, but his efforts have proven
THAT lit is possible for the county to
hgat dollar = worth of road for every
dollar OF tax money expended if the
work is done under proper supervision,
$50 that the sentiment in favor of the
expenditure of a reasonable amount on
the roads annually for the next few
years ~ stronger than ever he is
surely entitled to reelection on his
Erecord if ever an official was and his
services : should be retained by the
county. 4

AME PLACED ON MEN.

Judge Smith Mcpherson of the fed
eral court sentenced three men to
prison for violation of the Mann white
slave act. The court was questioned
as to why the women in the cases
were not prosecuted and his reply
was:
81 don't like this laying all the
blame on the women. These girls are
not so bad if it were not for the men.
Men have been laying the blame on the
women for the last 5000 years. There
is floating all over the country today
the idea that man, to be guilty under
the statute, must use the woman or
girl to make money for him. There has
not been a case decided in any Unit
ed States court that I know of that
'commercialism only is to be punished
and in my Judgment the law does not
warrant that construction
IF a man takes a woman over a
state line for the purpose of debauch-
cry, even for his own use, he has vio-
lated the law OF course, that is not
an aggravated case. The absence of
commercialism is only in mitigation.
When there is commercialism clearly
proven give five years in the peni-
Tertiary as the sentence for the guilty
party except where the girl is under
age and then it is ten years. Where
there is commercialism clearly prov

now that the equipment is assured

A GREAT NEED FILLED.

The city council has all but closed
a deal for some $4,000 worth of fire
fighting apparatus-an aerial truck
and combination hose and chemical
truck. The city has long felt the need
of modern equipment and the pur-
chase is the result of long and ear
nest campaign on the part of citizens
who wished to see the city properly
protected. The disastrous fire of some
months back-the burning of what
was then the newest block of business
houses in the city-focused the at
tention of the whole city on it's lack
of modern equipment and the pur-
chase soon to be consummated is the
result of the public discussion of the
tnsufficiency of the fire department
The city council was unanimously
in favor of making the purchase but
widely divergent on the question of
which company to buy from. The gen
eraJ citizenship is responsible for the
purchase and the council will be held
responsible for the kind of equipment
bought and the price paid for it..
