Judge Lands Sets Date for
Sale of Property of the
c. & NJ. Electric Rail-
way In Two States.
BONDHOLDERS MAYGET ROAD

The formal order for the sale of the
properties of the Chicago and Milwau-
kee Electric Railway company in both
Illinois and Wisconsin was signed bv
Judge Lands in the federal court in
Chicago on Monday and the road will
be sold to the highest bidder on the
first day of April. Under the provision
of the order a sale of the property must
be held in both Illinois and Wisconsin.
The Illinois property will probably be
sold at Waukegan or Highwood and
that of the Wisconsin incorporation at
either Kenosha or Racine 1t is ex-
pected that there will be but one bid
der for the property and he will repre-
sent an organization of the stock and
bond holders. w. 0. johnson the re-
ceiver of the company is laying plans
to wind up the receivership at that
time. Of course there has been several
sales of the road ordered and it is just
possible that the one aet for April 3
fool day will end in fasco the same as
bond holders of the company have
been making an effort to get together
and it is now declared that there is
reason to believe that an organization
to finance the purchase of the road has
been formed. A. G. Frost the original
promoter and builder Of the road has
not been considered in the new organi-
cation. 1t is said however thai it is
possible that fnanciers representing
him may be active bidders at the sale.
With the sale of the road set for the
first of April it is probable that it will
be hard matter to secure any improve
ments on the protection of crossings
until after the road has passed under
the new management. IF the sale is
confirmed b. the court the road will be
turned over to the purchasers early in
April.

TO BOOST RAILWAY FARE.
kenosha People Who Go to Chicago
Will Pay s1.22 Under the New
Traffic Rate.


kenosha people will pay more for
trips to Chicago in the near future as
TIE Northwestern Railway company is
now getting out new traffic sheets to
govern interstate traffic under the pro-
visions of the new order of the Inter
state Commerce commission. This or
der will not affect rates of fare in Wis
consln which are placed by state law
at two cents mile but tickets sold to
places in other states will have the in
creased rate The rate to Chicago I'M
der the present law is $1.02 but under
the new order the company is to charge
"a cents a mile or $122 The rate to
Waukegan will also be affected. 1t IS
not thought that the order of the COM
mission will in any way affect the cost
of the Communication tickets. The rail
way company officials have made no
statement in regard to the cOmmunlca-
ton rates but as the old Kenosha rate
has weathered a lot of commission rul-
ings it is thought that it will remain
the same. The traffic sheets will be
issued within week and go into effect
at once on their issuance.

The Inferiority Of the Negro.

Our friends down South, being
sure that the negroes are inferior,
deny them advantages and provide
inferior schools for negro children
in order that they will continue to
be inferior and thus prove the cor
rectness of the contention of the
scientists and sentimentalists that
the negro is inferior. After all,
there is nothing quite so satisfying
as the feeling that you have got
things fixed so that you will always
have an inferior race in your midst.
The above paragraph comes from
Life, one of the great metropolitan
idle-hour publications, usually taken
with a tooth-pick befor a nap. The
extract was marked and mailed to
this office. Such books are very fine
until they really become serious and
then very ridiculous.
The captious little underhand
thrust is stimulated by a desire to
emphasize the editors stand against
woman's suffrage. The conditions
in the South are in nowise different
in a general way from those in the
North. There are usually eXcep-
tions everywhere, but they are not
confined to any particular section.
There was a time when we didn't
know, but not with the present tour
list and business travel. There is a
general intermingling Of people
everywhere, and it is a sample of
very small intelligence to offer just
such brief as this and undertake to
procure a hearing before the people.
This might have served a purpose a
quarter of a century back.

They Will Have to Hurry.

According to a statement from the
State Commissioner of Public Roads,
approximately forty counties so far have
applied for State aid under the Act OF
1914 for the construction of roads.
Applications will continue to be re-
ceived until March 4, after midnight OF
which date no others will be considered.
This limit is set in order that the proper
apportionment of funds may be made
and that the counties may understand
definitely the amount of money they
will receive before beginning work on
their roads.
The application of some forty coun-
ties for State funds and the assurance
that other applications will be made
before the expiration of the time limit
gave encouragement to the belief that
the long looked-for era OF road build
ing in Kentucky is near at hand. With
forty or fifty counties entering upon
the work of improvement this year the
dawn of 1916 should see a really i'm
portant addition to Kentucky'S good
roads mileage.
Counties that have not applied for
State aid are sleeping on their rights
and are negIecting a golden opportunity
for beginning of permanent highway
improvement. The money which is
distributed by the State goes to the
which ask for it, and does not
accumulate to the credit of those which
neglect this formality. The Scent tax
for the creation of the State road fund
applies to every county in the State. AS
a consequence the counties which do
not secure their share of the State fund
are merely paying taxes to help build
roads outside of their borders.
The time is short for action, but is
ample for those counties which are
really determined to enter upon a syS-
tematic plan Of highway betterment.-
