BAND PLAYS TIPPERARY
Immediate Effect of Bryan S Peace Sen
timent Seen in Kenosha Today.

A crowd of hundred people gath
tied on Market Square this morning
and stood spellbound while they list
ened to the martial notes of "It's a
Long Way to Tipperary." They had
heard Tipperary before, but never I'M
der such circumstances. In the very
center of the crowd was German
band There was no chance for any
doubt as to their Teutonic ancestry.
Every mothers son of them wore a
mustache which was an exact counter
part OF that of the Kaiser and the fact
that they were German all the way
through was written all over their
faces. Yet they played "Tipperary. !"
Everybody marveled until some one
saw morning paper peeping out of the
pockets of the leader of the band and
featured in this paper was the ''Peace
Letter. of William Jennings Bryan.
1t is just possible that his letter had
healed all the old sores so far as the
German band was concerned. A furth-
er investigation showed that the band
was playing in front of a saloon oper-
ated by an Irishman. After they got
round the corner where there was
place with a real German name written
on the sign they broke out in "Watch
on the Rhine" and they played it with
a feeling that left no doubt as to their
real sentiment.

she held the name of Morrison he has
contributed but five dollars to her sup

The recent United States health bull

The recent United States health bull
letin warning the public of the dangers
Of sedentary lives, and urging every
one to walk, has led many newspapers
to comment very justly on the danger
OF lack of exercise. But many women
who do Homework or work in stores,
and men who work in factories, say
their daily labor leaves them weary and
they have no energy left for outdoor
exercise. Yet many of these indoor
tasks provide little physical develop
ment The organs of the body may de-
generate almost as much as in the case
of the business man who sits in swivel
chair all day. People who give up
walking because they are weary with
daily work do not always realize how
refreshing daily constitutional is. In
cities many thousands Of working peo-
pie riding in trollies to work would feel
better for walking. After little
training of their muscles they would
find that the exercise would be pleas
ure, and they would be better able to
meet the strain of indoor emDlovment.

REGARDED As FRIEND At COURT
Democratic Politicians Decline to Dis
cuss the Possible Split in the Cabinet,
Holding That Silence Is Golden at
This Time.

There was just one real interesting
topic for democrats in Kenosha today
end that was the resignation Of Will
liam j. Bryan as secretary of state. It
Kenosha democrats were stunned. To
some of them it meant nothing more
than political movement, but num-
Der of Kenosha democrats took the
of real personal interest. It has been
an open secret for some time that Mr.
Bryan was regarded as a "friend at
court for at least one and possibly
postofice and the first thought of the
patronage seekers was the effect that
the resignation Of Bryan would have
on the Kenosha postofice fight. It is
just possible that democracy in Keno
sha dignifed the handing out of the
henosha postofice entirely too much,
but at that they were wondering today
whether or not this candidate or that
would be quite as strong with Bryan
out Of the cabinet and Washington.
Mr.. Bryan had consented to "put in
good word'' when the time came and
it now seems that the time did not
come before Mr.. Bryan went out of
office as the "power Just what ex-
tent is not stated behind the throne.
Senator Husting is not thought to have
made any recommendation as to the
appointment Of postmaster at Keno
sha and for this reason it is pretty
certain that Mr.. Bryan resigned his
place as secretary Of state without
putting in the "good word"
A few of the Kenosha democrats as
sert that the retirement of Mr.. Bryan
will mean that he will oppose Wilson
for the presidency in 1916. Most Of the
local leaders of the party, however, in
sist that Mr.. Bryan has simply acted
in keeping with his often expressed
desire that he have nothing to do with
anything which might bring war upon
the nation. 81 would rather not be
qtIOb6u III kIllS mdGI0T was the way
nearly every democrat approached this
morning discussed the Bryan resigna-
ton. There is not any great chance for
any interviews getting back to Wash
ington, but with the postoffce as the
stake to be played for silence is decid-
edly golden to democratic leaders in
Kenosha. Republicans took just about
as much interest in the resignation of
Mr.. Bryan as did the democrats. The
republicans seemed to be chuckling
over the 'ssplit" in the cabinet and
they seemed TO see in it another indi-
cation that the democracy in power
would end with the close of the pres
ent administration.
just what views Senator Husting
may have in the matter has not been
given to the public.

WANTS POLICE OFFICERS NOW.
Chief Asks Commission to Hold Special
Meeting to Conduct Examinations.

Chief Asks Commission to Hold Special
Meeting to Conduct Examinations.
With view of breaking in lot of
new police officers before the coming of
the crowds for the Kenosha Home Com
ing, Chief of Police O'Hare has asked
the police and fire commission to hold
a special meeting on Friday evening for
the examination Of candidates for
places on the force. -Four applications
have come in as a result of the recent
call of the chief for men and it is ex-
pected that half dozen other appli-
cations will be in the hands of the chief
before Friday night. If Kenosha young
men want to get on the police force
this is an excellent time to make appIi-
cation as immediate appointments of of
ficers are assured just as soon as they
have passed the examinations. Six
officers could be used at once to fill va
cancies and bring the department up to
its full complement of men.

back to Evansa on sunday n1ehi.

ing in the police court at Evanston on
Thursday morning.

TO TOUCH ALL LAKE RESORTS
Truesdell Man Buys Modern Motor Bus
and Will Make Semi Daily Trips to
All Villages and Lake Resorts in the
County This Summer.

Kenosha people are going to have
motor transportation to the lake re-
gions of the western part of the county
during the present season and the new
motor line is to be in charge Of Oscar
Peterson Of Truesdell. Peterson has
placed rush order for a twenty pas
senger motor bus of the most modern
pattern and delivery of it is expected
within the next few days. Just as
soon as the big conveyance reaches
Kenosha it will be put into service and
the terminals will be Kenosha and
Twin Lakes. 1t is expected that the
big bus will cover the entire route twice
daily. An early morning trip will be
made to the lake regions and the return
will be before the noon hour while the
bus will leave Kenosha just after din
ner and on the return trip reach Keno
sha late in the evening.
Peterson has been busy for several
days making study of routes in the
county which will furnish the greatest
amount of traffic for Getty to
Lakes line and while he is not as yet
ready to announce the route that will
be followed it is said that the route
will be arranged so as to have stops at
the very doors Of practically all of the
lake resorts in the county, The route
will be arranged so as to make it a
convenience to the people living in
some of the Kenosha county villages
not touched by the North Western
road Peterson promises to make the
service attractive to people who go
to the lakes for an outing. To this
end the route will follow the best inn
proved roads and will run along many
places of beauty in the county. 1t is
probable that formal announc ernent of
the Inauguration of this service will be
made within week. The twenty pas
senger car which is to be used in Ke-
nosha county, is of the same type now
being used in New York City. Peter
son has as yet made no announcement
as to rates of fare to be charged, but
it is said that they will compare favor
ably with the rates charged by the
railway companies. 1t is certain that
many people would prefer to make the
trip to the lake regions by automobile.
Already some of the more enthusiast
tic Of the jitney bus drivers have been
making runs to Hooker Lake and Twin
Lakes on Saturdays and Sundays but
it is declared that the number of pas
sengers for these trips has not been
large enough to make it a real paying
business. 1t is certain that Peterson
will have some opposition from the
jitney drivers.
The railway company will watch the
experiment of the twenty passenger
bus with great deal of interest. The
operation of this bus during the sum
mer months will give something of an
indication Of just what demand there
is for further transportation facilities
to the western part of the county and
should Peterson Is experiment prove a
great success it is not improbable that
within a few years street railway
will be built west to the lake regions.

Representative Dyer. of Missouri. viii
Renew Fight for New District
Militia Here.

Representative Dyer, of Missouri,
prominent among United Spanish War
Veterans. and author of bills for the
erection of a better National Guard
armory in Washington, believes an ex-
ample in preparedness should be set
by Washington, and that the proper
way to set the example is to provide a
modern, adequate. military-looking
armory for the militia" he said yes
terday.
Further" continued Mr.. Dyer, At
intend to introduce another bill for the
armory at the coming session. 1 con-
fidently believe that this time II will
be enacted. The spirit of the people
of the United States demands that
there should be a real armory in this
great National Capital-not a hired
hall
The National Guard of the District
would increase in efficiency beyond de-
scription If it had a proper place for
drill. assembly, study and athletics. 1t
would be the greatest gathering place
for the best young men of this city"
Mr.. Dyer is in Washington partly to
urge preparedness in the regular army
and navy. He is discussing plans with
members of the legislative committee
Of the United Spanish War Veterans to
enlist the active support Of the or
ganization for thorough preparedness.
He has many arguments to show the
need for an increase both in the navy
and army.
