BIDINGER rs DEFEATED.
w. w. Pearce, Former Mayor Of Wau.
kegan, Shows Ability to Come Back.

Waukegan furnished real election
surprise to north shore cities on Tues
day when the voters turned out and
defeated J. f. Bidinger, the first COM
mission form mayor of that city, and
elected DR.. w. w. Pearce, an old time
mayor under the aldermanic rule, as
his successor. Mr.. Bidinger is broth
er of L. F.. Bidinger of this city and
he had given to Waukegan a careful
and economical administration. DR..
Pearce won in the election by ma
iority of more than 200 voters. It is
declared that the election was swung
to Pearce by the local option adher-
ents in Waukegan who believed that
two years training would get Wauke-
gan ready to vote herself into the dry
column. The defeat Of Mayor Biding-
er was the greater surprise on account
of the fact that he had the support of
both the daily newspapers in Wauke-
gan and had been nominated at the
primary by vote larger than he re-
ceived on election day.

Appeal to Circuit Court Promised if
Boy is Fined for Distributing Bills.

The city ordinance which puts an
embargo on the indescriminate distri-
button of handbills in Kenosha, may
be forced to stand test Of the courts
as it is declared today that interested
parties will take the case of Edward
Smith who was fined dollar and
costs under the ordinance on Tuesday,
to the circuit court. Smith admitted
in court that he had thrown bills on
a porch on the north side of the city
and the court imposed the minimum
fine. An effort is being made to inter
est the Kenosha Retailer s Association
in the appeal Of the case as it is said
that lot of the merchants in the city
have been opposed to the strict en-
forcement of the ordinance, No appeal
in the case had been fled today, but
it was expected that it would be fled
later in the week.

Legislature Votes Against
the Bill to Give Wisconsin
Women the Ballot.
NARROW MARGIN DEFEATS BILL

After sharp debate that lasted for
more than two hours Tuesday, the low
er house Of the Wisconsin legislature
killed the Bradley bill to submit the
question of extending the right Of
suffrage to women. The vote was 40
to Al, with four additional members
paired. The Bradley bill sought to
submit the question to the voters at
the November, 1916, election.
Opening the debate in favor of the
bill, Assemblyman Ofstie Of Eau Claire
declared that Abraham Lincoln was
the original advocate Of extending the
right of suffrage to women. He de-
clared that wherever suffrage had been
tried it had ''resulted in cleanup of
demagogues and ward heelers.
Assemblyman Weber, Milwaukee,
said that the laboring interests of the
state were in favor of suffrage because
it was founded upon the principle of
equal rights and opportunities to all
Assemblyman Bradley charged that
Assemblyman Budlong had attempted
to "hamstring" the bill by offering an
amendment which would deprive WON
en- Of their dover rights if suffrage
were extended. Budlong declared that
based on the Bible, women were not
entitled to the same opportunities as
men.
Assemblyman Axel johnson quoted
from leading educators and officials in
many states, including United States
Senators LaFollette and Stephenson Of
Wisconsin who are in favor of equal
suffrage.
The argument is made that women
cannot exercise the ballot, Assembly
man Gruenewald said. "That same a.
gument might be urged with equal Jus
tice against men if the manhood
suffrage franchise were under consid-
Grafton
On motion of Assemblyman Kubasta
of Merrill, the bill was indefinitely
postponed.

BOYS PLEAD GUILTY

The cases of the boy burglars
brought to light on Monday night
when five boys were sought on charges
of entering several places in the down
town district, will be disposed of by
Judge Randall in the municipal court
late this afternoon. Two more boys,
Frank Peterson and George Ryan,
were added to the list of defendants
in the case on Tuesday and all of the
seven boys when brought before Judge
Randall admitted their guilt. The
chief Of police has been given the full
facts in regard to the methods used
by the boys in entering the various
places. 4 strong plea of leniency has
been made to Judge Randall and it is
possible that he will extend parole
privileges TO some of the boy defen-
dants and give them another chance
to make good. He still had the mat

START WORK COMING SUMMER
NO City Bonds Will Be Necessary to
Make the improvements Planned
Expert Engineers to Join in Work of
Making the Plans For the Station.

Now that the common council has
paved the way for the building Of a
new pumping station by authorizing
the water board to sell the present
pumping station to the Simmons com
pany the members Of the commission
are rushing work on plans and speci-
fcations and within the next few
weeks broad plans will be laid for CIV
ing Kenosha the best water plant in
the state. For years men who have
been intimately connected with the
handling Of the water plant have felt
the need of a larger pumping station
and one which will provide for the
future Of the city 1t is certain that
the building Of the new plant on the
island will be a realization of this plan.
Many people in the city have asked
as to the cost Of the new pumping sta
ton. This can not be given at this
time, but the members of the commits
sion are hopeful that the cost of it
together with the building Of the new
intake will not exceed 100000. There
is no reason to believe that any gen.
eral issue of city bonds will be neces-
sary to carry out the plans now in
course Of formation and it is expected
that the plan of issuing non-liability
bonds with the water plant as their
only surety, will be followed. IT is
possible that it will be necessary to
go to the state railroad commission TO
secure the working out of some of the
plans which have been made, but the
commissioners have been assured that
if such hearings are found necessary
the committee will take care Of them
without any long continued delay.
Within a short time the commission
will have in hand the formal reports
of Engineer Mead of Madison, who has
been engaged as an expert to aid the
city engineer in working out plans for
the new intake and the new pumping
station and it is possible that ground
will be broken for the new station
early in May or in June. The work is
not going to lag and while it will prob
ably take year to construct the new
pumping station and the new intake
the work is going to be rushed to com
ppletion just as rapidly as possible
The water commission has at the pres
ent time plenty of funds to start this
work. And the addition of $4,000 to
this fund from the Simmons company
will aid materially in getting the work
well under way.
There will be no steps taken to is.
sue bonds until money is actually
needed for construction work. This
may not be until some time in the
spring or summer of 1916 and the com
mission will keep such a close tab or
the work that is being done that il
will not bring any additional interest
burdens to be met by the proceeds OF
the plant.
The members of the water commits
sion realize that the action of the
council has placed upon them one OF
the greatest Improvements ever
brought for the city and they are fully
aware that the people will demand OF
them the strictest accounting. They
are all enthusiastic over the plan fol
the new station and intake and are
giving their personal interest to every
feature of the work.

The campaign against the
house fly has become one of the
most popular phases of the pub
lie health movement. Whether
it is entirely war on the fly as
a dangerous carrier of disease,
or partly an attempt to exter-
inmate the fly as a pestiferous
disturber of public peace, the
result is the same. 1t prevents
the spread of disease and saves
human lives.
1t has been so frequently urg
ed that we should clean out the
sources of Infection rather than
to wait to literally swat the fly,
that the statement is now plati-
tude. The principle is sound,
however. In fact we should go
farther and make our municipal
fly campaign, "city beauti-
full" campaign. This kind of
work shows more striking, i'm
mediate results and can be made
an important factor in arousing
and keeping up a strong civic
pride.
A section of the Crusader
is devoted to the fly and fly
campaigns. If you fail to find
the information or Suggestions
here which you want, write and
tell us just what you are looking
for. You will undoubtedly find
also that the University Exten-
sion Division at Madison has a
good packet library on this sub
ject, which is usually a splendid
source of getting free informa-
ton on almost any subject, and
one which is comparatively lit
tie appreciated by the public.
The utilization of this infor-
nation is up to you. Not only
see that you leave nothing I'M
done to exterminate "the under
taker' Is travelling salesman but
help create a civic pride which
will insure every one doing his
part.
