Public ignorance and indifference up
"a the subject of national defense
tannot be removed without vigorous
educational propaganda. The an
nouncement of vigorous campaign by
the Navy League to inform the public
as to facts is welcome.
The league is an organization Of citi-
zens who believe that an adequate
navy should be maintained by the
United States and who realize that it
is not likely to be kept up without or
gained support. The league numbers
men of reputation and disinterested-
ness, but it is too small. What is
wanted is membership represented in
every town and district, and Field
Secretary Lewis will make it his bust
ness, among other duties, to extend the
list of active participants in the work
of the league.
In the middle west there is real
interest in the navy which can be di-
rected to the support of consistent
development of our first line of de-
tense. 1t is hoped the press will get in
touch with the league and cooperate
in the service it is trying to perform
for the nation.-Tribune.

Old Pete Taken Over to the Racine
County Poorhouse This Morning.

Peter Larson, better known to the
pauper officials in score Of counties
in the state as cold Pete went into
winter quarters today. He went in
style for County Clerk Jones took him
over to the Racine county poorhouse at
Union Grove in an automobile. Pete
protested strongly. He did not pro-
test so much against the ride in the
automobile as he did on the bath and
the change of clothes demanded before
the start was made. Pete came into
Kenosha several days ago all ready for
alternating. He landed in jail We'd
nesday night and when the officials
made an examination of him they
found him wearing four suits of
clothes, three shirts, three pairs of
stockings and an overcoat. Any piece
of the clothing would have stood alone.
This morning the officials took all the
old clothes of the famous old tramp
and burned them in the jail yard.
Then he was given new outfit from
under clothing to cap and he was
ready to go to Union Grove. Old Pete
was one time a ditcher, but this was
years ago and for the past twenty
years he has spent his time just tramp
ing about the southern tier Of counties.
This winter his board will be paid by
Kenosha county.
