GOLF AND AGRICULTURE.

An interesting governmental question is raised by the
National Golf associations REQUEST that the federal
department of agriculture study and report on the
kinds grasses most suitable for golf courses.

department had that it's activities have anything

though excellent sport for those who like il and
afford is conflict with the funda

There was a considerable discussion
of the proposition of adopting the
state building code and it is probable
that the state building inspector will
be invited to come to Kenosha and take
up the matter with the members of
the council.
The council voted by resolution to do
away with the annual registration of
electors for this year.
The ordinance providing for the an
nexation of the subdivision known as
" Homework to the city was passed
by unanimous vote. A similar vote
was given a resolution relieving the
Wisconsin Gas and Electric Company
from the necessity of building a cul-
vert over the creek at Ashland avenue.
This was to clean up the old fight be-
tween the city and the railway com
pany and the resolution is one that
should have been passed couple of
years ago.
President Thomey presided at the
meeting of the council, it being declar-
ed that the mayor was detained at his
home on account of illness.

HITS ROAD TAX DODGERS.
New Bill Introduced at Madison to
Force Payment of Road Taxes.

Because in some road districts the
road taxes are neither paid nor work
ed out in Labor on the highways, As
semblyman Henry Hoffman of Chiffon,
Calumet county, viii present bill in
the legislature next week that is aimed
to correct the evil or securing a com
plete enforcement of the law. Under
the terms of the bill the town treasurer
must add the local highway assessment
to the regular property taxes. When
the owner of a piece of property comes
to the town treasurer to pay his taxes
he will be compelled to pay his high
way taxes in cash at the same time,
unless he can present a receipt from
the local tpathmaster certifying
that he has either worked his road
taxes out, or has paid cash for some
one else to do the work for him. The
proposed measure will make it a penal
offense for the highway master to give
a false certificate that the work has
been performed.
We need better roads in Wiscon-
SIM said Assemblyman Hoffman to-
day. eff every local road district was
compelled to work out on the roads the
amount of highway taxes assessed in
every town we would have better roads.
In some districts, however, the tax is
assessed but the work is neither per-
formed nor paid in cash. The bill l
propose will make it necessary for the
owner of the land to work out his tax
in order to get the 'offset on his taxes
when he comes to pay his real estate
tax in January"

STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS.
Captain Robert Symmonds in Serious
Condition at His Home.

Captain Robert Symmonds, one of
the pioneer lake men of this section
was stricken with paralysis at his
home on Evergreen street on Sunday
morning and his condition while not
critical is regarded as serious. Captain
Symmonds is now eighty years of age
and on account of his advanced age it
is feared that he will not be able to
survive the stroke. At present his
right side is affected and he has lost
the use of his arms and legs. His CON
dition has shown little change since he
was stricken on Sunday. The captain
has perfect control of his mental facul-
ties and his relatives and friends are
hopeful that his robust constitution
will make it possible for him to re-
cover from the attack.

Kenosha Teachers Signing Petitions
Against Repeal of Pension Law.

Teachers in Kenosha schools are not
taking any stock in the efforts that are
being made at Madison to secure the
repeal of the Teachers Retirement
Pension law and this morning petitions
were put in circulation among the
teachers of Kenosha county demanding
that the proposed repeal of the law be
abandoned. A large majority of the
teachers of the city schools have regis
tered under the act and it is decidedly
popular among them. The demand for
the repeal of the act has been made by
Senator Bennett, who has been most
active in the introduction of repeal
bills at the present session of the leg

HOW CAPITAL WAS SELECTED.
Historical Society Tells Story of Sc
lecting Madison for State Government.

1ecting Madison for State Government.
Threequarters Of a century ago the
site of the present capital of Wisconsin
was still an unbroken wilderness. The
first territorial legislature, which met
in 1886, undertook the difficult task of
locating the capital of the future state.
There was no lack of candidates for the
honor, the claims of almost a score of
aspirants being vigorously forced upon
the legislators. Among the more prom1-
nent were Green Bay, Milwaukee and
Mineral Point. While the majority of
the legislators were striving to reach a
decision upon the merits of the various
claimants, two men, Governor Mason of
Michigan and Judge Doty of Green
Bay had already decided. They had ac-
CURED control of the narrow peninsula
upon which the main part of Madison
now stands and here, they determined,
the capital should be located.
Mason and Doty were shrewd politi-
clans and succeeded in their design.
A real estate speculation thus furnished
the primary motive for locating the
capital at Madison; many were won
over, however, by the argument that
Madison afforded a compromise be-
tween the extremes of Green Bay, Mil
waukee and Mineral Point. Another po-
tent argument employed by Doty was
the judicious and liberal distribution of
Madison town lots. among the members
of, the legislature and their friends.
Whatever the motives of the legisla-
tors, all visitors to Wisconsin s capital
city agree that their choice was rare
ly fortunate one--for Madison.

FALSE VALUES IN CHILDREN S
TRAINING.

We are apt in schools, as elsewhere,
to put wrong emphasis upon values.
There Is the perfect attendance ideal,
for example. Too much worship at. this
shrine drives Johnny and Mary to
school with beginning scarlet fever or
other dangerous disease, to endanger
the lives Of the other children as we'll
as their own.
Then there is the struggle for "high
marks, too frequently won at the ex-
pense of red cheeks, robust bodies and
that Invaluable asset, a perfect balance
of the nervous system While it is well
for every child to be held to his best
scholarship, sight should not be lost of
the fact that shis best' stops short of
the ruination of his physical equip
ment.
To too many parents education is
looked upon as an end rather than as
one of the means to the end This is
particularly so in the instance of pa
rents who have themselves felt the
sting Of want in scholarship, and this
includes, in some measure, every pa
rent not utterly lacking in intelligence.
At best, schools only stretch and
mold child's physical and mental ca
pacity, thinning out here and adding
reinforcement there. What the school
puts into a child IS head ism It half so
important as is the question as to
whether or not the school has lessened
or increased the carrying capacity of
the pupil after graduation. At their
worst, schools balloon child IS capac-
ity at points where it is most elastic,
and fail utterly to stretch the constric-
ting bands which limit it as certainly
as does a short cord about the middle
of wheat sack.
When the value of developing phys
ical strength is apprehended, there is
likewise danger of the institution of
false standards. Physical culture fad
dists are prone to worship false gods,
for their own mental training is likely
to have been lacking and left them
without fair sense of proportion.
Just as a mind culturist is most fas-
cinated in developing the mind of a
naturally bright pupil, so it the phys
ical culturist most interested in making
physical freak out of the boy or
girl with well born physique. The
result is too often an overdeveloped
heart and a preternaturally large pair
of lungs, far too large for the demands
of ordinary pursuits.
When the owner of such lungs and
heart enters upon a sedentary Office
career, as he is quite likely to do, dis
aster is constantly invited. For, be it
known, Nature abhors and attempts to
annihilate over-developed tissues not
fully exercised. Thus it is that we read
with surprise of the death from pneu-
monia, tuberculosis and heart disease
of famous athletes in what should be
their very prime.
After all, balance is the price and
reward of successful education.
