LIFE SAVERS PLEASED BY PAS
SAGE OF NEW Law.

Members of the local life saving
crew are pleased over the passing of
the new coast guard bill because of the
benefits to be received under the new
measure. The bill puts the life savers
on the same plane as the men in the
revenue service, which permits them to
retire on a pension after thirty years
OF service upon reaching the age Of
sixty-two. The surfmen will receive
an increase of $1.00 per month for
every three years of service and retire
ment upon seventy-fye per cent of
their regular pay at the age of sixty
four, or for physical disability. A
clothing allowance of $500 for the
first year and $4,000 for each su5se-
quent year is also provided. When the
bill goes into effect the name of life
saver will be dropped and coast guard
substituted.

PLEADS FOR MANHOOD.
Former Kenosha Minister Makes Nota-
BILE Address at Great Gathering.

Not more men, but more manhood,
is the crying need of the nation at this
day." asserted the Rev. e. T. Farrill,
former Kenosha minister now field sec
rotary of the Christian Endeavor soci-
ETY. of Wisconsin, in an address on
"The Social Crisis before the con-
gregation of the Westminster Pres
byterian church in Milwaukee Sunday
night.
"The nation is passing through a
crisis now; she needs the best that her
sons have; she needs men in the broad
est sense of that word,' said DR.. Far
rill.
"The Christian Endeavor League is
the strongest tie that the church has in
America. It embraces all denomina-
tions and is the truest link in the uni
fcation of the Christian church. The
two great evils that threaten our re-
public are loss of the true home infu-
ences and the corruption of politics
through the malevolent influences of
base men, without honor. The crisis is
upon US. We are passing through it
even now

THURsDAZ, FEBRUARY A, 1915.

No one believes tina the eugenics
marriage law has cut down the number
OF marriages In the state as much as
the returns made by the county clerks
would indicate. The reports of the
clerks show that there has been a great
falling off in the number of marriages
in Wisconsin since the law went into
effect two years ago, but the fact is
that as many Wisconsin people entered
the more or less holy state of matri-
mony in that time as in other years.
Those who refused to submit to the
examinations required by the eugenics
law simply went into other states to
have the ceremonies performed. And
few of them took the trouble to regis
ter their marriages in their own coun-
ties on their return as the law requires.
And has any one heard of the enforce
ment of the penalties provided by the
eugenics law for failure to register
ceremony performed in another state
against anybody in Wisconsin? That
provision of the law has never been en-
. forced in this county and we do not be-
lieve that it ever will be. Inasmuch as
the physicians refuse to make the tests
which would make the law effective for
the fees they are allowed to collect I'M
der it, the legislature should do one of
two things. Either raise the fees so
that the proper examinations could be
made, making provision to pay them
them out Of the state funds if the APP
plicant for a license makes affidavit
that he is unable to pay them himself,
extend the law to cover women as well
as men, and enforce it to the letter or
repeal it. Laws that are not enforced
any better than this eugenics law is
should not be permitted to remain on
the statute books of the state for they
breed contempt for all law.

l then called upon Mr.. Stoffer, the
superintendent of the company at Sill.
yer Lake and got the following state
ment from him: About fifty men call
ed at Silver Lake, through the sheriff S
Office, applying for work, asking me
at the same time what wages were of
fered. [ thereupon told them dis
tinctly that I was not certain, but
would let them know the following
morning; that morning l received a
long distance call from Chicago stat
ing that the men were to be paid off
at the rate of $L50 per day if they
stick to the finish, otherwise $1.25 per
day, this means ten hours work. I i'm
mediately told the men of this ar
rangement and thirty of these men who
came from Kenosha quit. The board
was reduced from $475 per week to
$3.50 per week. Enclosed you will find
copy of resolutions, regarding this af
fair drawn up by the county board of
supervisors of KenOsha county,
I suggested to the mayor and sheriff
OIL heHO6Hd, also TO Cne ueIeSdIeS OIL
the KenOsha Trades and Labor Council
that they arrange meeting, with Mr..
Osborne, president of the Consumers
company, and Mr.. Enders, the employ
ment man, and try to thrash out this
matter among themselves, feeling as
sured that a settlement could be made
if the representatives of the Consumers
company were given chance to be
heard.
[ furthermore suggested that if they
could not come to definite agreement
or settlement to call on me, as deputy
Of the industrial commission, and L
was positive that [ could settle up
matters to the entire satisfaction of
all parties concerned.
In conclusion I might say that the
trouble exists between a verbal agree
ment on one side, printed agreement
on the other side, and the labor coun-
ell as go between.
Should any further arbitration be
needed in this case, kindly let me know.
Very truly yours,

Daughters of the American
Revolution Have Exhibit
at Mrs. Mailer's Home.
STUDY OF FIRST AMERICANS"

Members of the Kenosha Chapter of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton had an interesting consideration
OF the 'FFirst Americans at a meet
ing held at the home of Mrs r. E..
Mailer on Durkee avenue on Monday
afternoon when Mrs. Robert Whitaker
read very interesting paper on the
subject, "The North American In
dians. The paper was interesting
from historical standpoint and
brought out many interesting facts re-
latlng to the various Indian tribes.
In connection with the paper the
members of the chapter had arranged
an unusually valuable collection of In
dian wares and Indian relics gathered
from the collections of many prominent
Kenosha people. It was the most
notable display of the handicraft of In
dians ever shown in Kenosha. There
were half dozen blankets made by
representatives of as many different
tribes of American Indians collections
OF Indian handiwork which had been
gathered in Mexico and a collection of
relics of the Indians who at one time
roamed the hills and prairies of Wis
consin. The display of Indian pottery
was especially notable, this display in
GLIDING nearly all of the pieces that
went to make up the furnishings of the
wigwams of the Indians. Then there
was lot of interesting relics. These
included papoose carriers used by sew
eral tribes, wonderful bead work in
making neck bands, bracelets and bags
There were several pipes of peace which
showed traces of long use by some old
Indian brave. Toilet articles of the
Indian women were in evidence and
in fact the exhibit showed pretty near
ly everything that entered into the life
of the Indians in their primeval state.
The collection nearly all belonged to
kenosha people. Among the contribu-
tors were: William Senne, Miss Truax,
Mrs. E. L. Shippee, Mrs. Harry Skinkle
and Mrs. A. E. Buckmaster. One of the
most notable contributions to the col
lection was an exhibit of arrow heads
belonging to F. II. Lyman. This is de-
clared to be one of the finest collections
OF arrow heads to be found in Wis
consin.
Notwithstanding the storm very
large number of the members of the
kenosha chapter attended the monthly
meeting and it was one of the best
meetings of the season for the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution.

INDEPENDENT COMPANY Low.
Coal Co. Offers Lowest Bid for Cement
Delivered TO Road Jobs This Season.

The Independent Coal Company had
the lowest bid for cement for the
county roads for the new season when
the bids were opened on Saturday af-
ternoon. The bid Of the John O'Don-
nell estate for the supply of the cement

two cents lower than that of the In
dependent company, but the charges
for delivery on the job as made by the
Independent company was much small
er than those of the O'Donnell company
There were three bids for the contract.
These bids will be certified to the state
highway commission and the contract
can not be let until after it has receiv-
ed the sanction of the state commission.

Advices from Madison are to the eff
feet that the Legislature is about to
get right down to business and the
people of the state who are watching
progress at the capitol will agree that
it is about time. This legislature has
been in session nearly three weeks and
has passed one bill and if it is to estab-
fish record for efficiency it will have
to start pretty soon. The feelingrof the
members of this Legislature in regard
to prolonged sessions of that body can
be guaged by the action taken on the
resolution TO amend the state constitu-
tion so that sessions can be limited to
ninety days. There is no doubt that
such an amendment would get heavy
vote if it is ever submitted to the peo-
pie.

SAY HOUSES ARE SANITARY NOW
Report of Agent Beckerle is Made Pub
lie Today and Tt Is Favorable to the
Companies Who Employed Men to
Work During the Ice Harvest.

William E. Stephenson, secretary of
the Trades and Labor Council of Keno
sha, has received from j. D. Beck, in
dustrial commissioner of the state, a
report of the recent examination of
conditions at the boarding houses on
the lakes of this county. Commission
Ell Beck insists that the commission has
nc power to act in this matter and that
should laborers who worked on the ice
desire to enforce any contracts which
might have been made in regard to
wages it will be necessary for them to
go into court to enforce them as the
commission has no powers along this
line. The general trend Of the report
made to the industrial commission is
favorable to the ice companies. 1t was
made by Fl. j. Beckerle, who spent a
whole day on the lakes making inves-
LEGATIONS. The report which is adj
dressed to the industrial commission of
Wisconsin follows:
Gentlemen:-As per request, thorough
investigation Of conditions existing at
the ice fields of Silver Lake conducted
by Consumers Ice Co., of Chicago
was made.
I found that sanitary conditions
have been much improved upon and IN
fact I could not suggest any better
conditions at the present time. There
is a large room twelve foot high, con
tanning fifty individual hunks two high.
Nine large windows and four ceiling
vents in room. Upon examining these
hunks I find that each is. equipped
with straw tick, regulation army
blankets and pillow enclosed in cas-
ing, all seemed perfectly clean to me;
the floors were scrubbed and the win
dows washed. This was on the upper
floor with large stove in the center
of the BUILDING. The kitchen and the
lower floor as well as the cook and
funkies were scrupulously clean; in
fact I dined there that day. There was
no restriction as to the amount Of food
any one wished to consume.
The most trouble seemed to arise
from misunderstanding on the wage
proposition. Prior to the sending of
men to the ice harvest, the sheriff and
mayor of Kenosha, made arrangements
with the Consumers company of Chica-
go to supply men to work on the ice
fields at Salem, Wis, the men to be
paid at the rate of $1.75 per day pro-
viding they stay to the finish, other
wise $3.50 per day. According to this
verbal arrangement the sheriff of Ke-
nosha Immediately advertised these
facts and listed a number of applicants
for this work. Nevertheless before
these men were actually sent out to
work the Consumers company Of Chi
cago forwarded to the sheriff a print
ed contract as per enclosed. It was
stated and admitted by the sheriff to
me, that he had received these con
tracts, but thought that the company s
word was as good as their contract, he
heleupon told these men that they W re

The men who are "in the game
should not put too much stress on the
fact that the state has annexed mat
ter of $4,000 in fees since the boxing
commission law legalizing the sport in
Wisconsin went into effect. In the
view of the people who might be ex-
pected to move for the repeal of the
law il is much more important that the
sport sanctioned by the state be put
upon q higher level and the chances of
fraud on it's patrons be eliminated than
that little money is turned in to the
state by the operation of the law. The
law was passed to clean APP the sport,
not to permit the state to share in the
profits of the promoters.

Whatever opposition there is to the
building of fire station on Grand ave-
nue. is said to be based on the fact that
the city is short of money, but it would
be false economy to refuse the fire de-
partment necessary extensions. And a
new station somewhere in the northwest
section is a necessity if the property
owners there are to be given the same
protection that is given other sections
of the city. They are entitled to it
and no one can blame them for going
after it.

The proposed change in the state
highway law by which the fees for au-
tomobile licenses less the expenses of
collection are to be turned over to the
highway funds of the counties instead
of to the state will have the effect Of
lessening the opposition to the automo-
bile license law. Automobile owners
will be more ready to pay the fees
when they reap the direct benefit from
them in the form of repairs to their
own roads, which is what this money is
to be used for if the recommendations
OF the state highway commission, are
carried out by the legislature.
