THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1915.

Chicago is enjoying one Of those
periodical "clean ups" of its thugs
and crooks which always follows the
installation of new chief of police
and as usual the suburban towns are
reaping the benefits (9) of the efforts
of the metropolitan police to rid their
city Of the criminal element. The big
increase in the number of holdups and
petty larceny cases in all of the North
shore towns is the best evidence that
the efforts of the Chicago police are
fairly successful. No one can blame
Chicago exactly for getting rid Of this
element of it's population in any way
it can, but it should show some consid-
GRAFTON for its smaller neighbors in
chasing its crooks. 1T should estab-
fish a circle with radius of hundred
miles from Chicago as the dead line
and chase the criminals it is trying to
get rid Of over that. The privilege of
taking care of these crooks is not one
of the advantages of life in the vicinity
of large city.

workman at the icehouses of the Tewes
company near Salem. This afternoon
he was on his way to the state prison
at Waupun to serve term Of year
and six months after pleading guilty to
charge of larceny from the person. An
unsatisfied appetite for more liquor was
given by Norwich as his cause for
breaking into the criminal class.
He had been employed at the Tewes
icehouse for four seasons, according to
the story he told in court this morning
and he had worked with Frank Wolu-
jewicz at the icehouses most of this
time. On Sunday Norwich went over
to Salem and got few drinks. Then
he went back to the icehouse and he
found Wolujewicz sleeping. He knew
that Wolujewicz had some money and
after he had made search about The
place he decided that it was in the
mans pockets. He deftly picked the
pockets of the sleeping man and secur-
ed a total of $4,000 in money. Nor
witch, once started on the criminal path,
decided to make clean job of it and
he also took the gold watch and chain
b longing to the sleeping man. Then
he went back to the saloon at Salem
When Wolujewicz woke up he. at once
noticed that he had been robbed and
suspected Norwich. The fellow was
found badly under the influence of
liquor at the saloon in Salem and ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Olsen and
brought to Kenosha.
WolujeWicz showed a remarkable mem
cry for money this morning and he
gave the numbers Of half dozen bills
which had been taken from his pocket.
They correspondent perfectly with the
bills found in the pocket of the defen-
dant. After he had requested the
right to plead guilty, /" Norwich told
the court fearful story of how he
had been supporting a wife and three
children in Russia on earnings of
tFenty-fi dollars a month. The of
flcials declared that the man had not
sent any money to his wife for months
Norwich insisted that his only reason
for robbing his fellow workman was
that he wanted more liquor and had no
money to buy it with
Under the good time rule of the court
Norwich may be paroled after nine
months penal servitude.

WOULD FIGHT HOG CHOLERA.
Effort Being Made to Get State to APP
propriate $4,000 to Save Hogs.

propriate $4,000 to Save Hogs.
That an appropriation of $150,000 is
needed of this legislature to fight the
hog cholera plague in this state, is the
statement of E. S. Patterson Of Dur
and, who is in Madison in the inter
est of farmers of Northern Wisconsin,
where the plague threatens. He says
that unless something is done to check
the ravages of this disease millions OF
dollars worth of porkers will be sacri-
feed this year.
At the convention of the Wiscon-
sin Real Estate Brokers last January
this subject was fully gone into and
the matter was then called to the at
tention of Governor Philipp," said
Mr.. Patterson. eve people of North
ern Wisconsin believe that an appro-
priation of $4,000 should be made to
furnish the serum cheaply to the farm
ers for the one treatment that can be
administered that renders the hog
immune. There has been recommend
ed for passage bill apropriating
$4,000 for the manufacture and distri-
button of this serum. That will not
make enough serum to supply one
county Of the state.
"What Wisconsin needs is an an
preparation of about $4,000 for the
erection of building and about
100000 for the making Of the serum.
The best posted stockmen and authori-
ties in the country advocate the
policy of the use of the serum, known
in other words as the single treatment.
This serum should be sold to the farm
ers for less than cost so that all NAV
be induced to use it and thus the
plague can be completely eradicated
in this state. The single treatment
costs more, but there is no danger of
bringing the disease to the farm as in
the case of the virus.
eff this appropriation is not made
for the wide distribution of this serum
it is very sure prediction that our
state will be subjected to the ravages
of the hog cholera disease in the fut-
ure, and as the serum is so high it is
likely that in the next year or two
great losses will be sustained inyolv-
ing possibly millions of dollars.''
Conferences with some of the farm
er members of the legislature were
held last week at which the advis-
bility of increasing the appropriation
was discussed.

The deplorable' situation resulting
from the destruction of the Lusitania
raises again the question whether
there is any such thing any longer as
international law The Libraries and
system Of teaching that have grown
up under the title seem today to have
vanished into thin air. There are in
any collection of human being a great
many who observe laws only from fear
of force Plenty of men would steal
and kill did they not fear the penalty.
But there is no penalty for breaking
international law. An international
police force may some day maintain
by force the validity of such codes Of
rules as may be agreed upon, but it
may be many years before any such
force can be created. A strong pub
lie sentiment is always enormously
helpful in maintaining any kind of a
code, Tn business life, law is not the
only thing that keeps the business men
honest. They know that trickery will
hurt and perhaps ruin their business.
Consequently the great bulk of every
day business transactions are square
and on the level, not so much from
fear of law, as from fear of public
sentiment and loss of reputation. In
the matter of keeping national agree
ments, sentiment seems less well de-
fined. Formerly no nation ever thought
of keeping its pledges when they were
contrary to its interest. During the
past century there has been decided
advance in this particular. But Europe
has always scoffed at such promises.
When the United States promised to
retire from Cuba, few of the foreign
diplomats believed the pledge amount
ed to anything. But it did. Yet there
are plenty of peol,lo in our country who
would favor the breaking Of any ma
tional pledge, if they felt it would
temporarily help American interests.
Here then appears the task of each
citizen in the present world catastro-
phe. Tt is to do his share to create
public sentiment in favor Of the most
rigid keeping Of. national agreements.
Breaking of international law should
become as disgraceful as stealing
money from bank. Let it become q
point of honor, to support no man for
United States Office unless he has a
clean record on this world issue.

The present condition of Main street
bridge is something that may well give
the city officials some uneasy moments.
There is no question that the holding
up OF any ship or dredge for any length
of time due to the inability of the city
to swing that ancient ruin will make
the city liable to heavy damages.
More than that the condition of the
bridge may involve the city with the
federal government and put the city in
a very embarrassing position. The wat
ers west of the bridge are plated as
navigable waters and if there is any
thing that the federal government is
particularly touchy about it is any in
reference with navigation. The gov
eminent is certain to insist that all
parts OF the Kenosha harbor plated
as navigable waters be open to traf
tic at all times and without any I'M
necessary delays and the officials of
the war department which has iuris.
dlction over inland waterways are not
likely to regard the inability of the
city to swing its bridges as an excus-
able delay. Suppose there comes an
order to the city from the department.,
as one surely will come if anything
that floats is held up at this bridge
many more times, to "remove the OBJ
struction to navigation" what then 2
The city will have to show that it is
making every effort to clear the pas
sage and be quick about it or the de-
partment will act on its own account.
1t has done so in cases where other
cities have been dilatory in obeying
orders to remove distractions The
city officials are handicapped in deal
ing with this problem. The people
voted against a new bridge the last
time the question was submitted to
them, but every dollar spent on repair
ing abuttments or putting in new
machinery to swing this bridge is
money wasted.

it was only because Of pure cussedness.
