c. M. Bolton and Gavin Patter- son from the western part of the county, near Piney, were in Ozark Tuesday and Wednesday as witnesses in a case in chan cery court.
 Trains were seriously delayed last Wednesday on account of a freight wreck near Poping. North bound freight 156 had col lided with a push car loaded with steel rails, which were be- ing unloaded to build the Rock switch. The foreman of the crew had failed to put out flag man on account of being short of men to handle the steel. The loss to the company has been es- timated at $50O0.
 We understand that meeting will be held in the near future to discuss the advisability of form ing a road improvement dis trict along the Huntsville. Kings ton and Watalula roads. Such a district we believe could be bond ed under the Alexander law, and a good macadamized road built which will save the respective districts money in the end, and at. the same time give them roads that will endure. We will give some more definite figures Tn our next Tuesdays issue.

Wolnanhoed and World Peace

W VOlH0ullO0u dllu VOIlu l CdCC
 We are publishing by special request the following article by Mrs. Luke Johnson in the Vest ern Methodist.
 Others have spoken to you from the standpoint of the rela- tion of governments to peace, of the disarmament of the nations, of the organization necessary for peace, for the relation of so- cial justice to peace; and these other lines. 1 come to speak to you for a moment from an en- tirely different standpoint. l come to speak to you from the great heart throb of the whole business, from the great break ing agony of those who are un- derneath it all. 1 come to speak to you of that standing army turnout the world today, with si- ! lent lips and bowed heads, only when the agonizing sobs of the l breaking hearts sound forth. who could shake the very foun- dations of the earth and turn the tide of human affairs, and who could make anew the policy of humankind if they would. This silent, suffering army is composed of the mothers of men, real mothers who have verify faced death as heroically and bravely as any man ever faced it on the battlefield; faced it that man might live and not die; and with them, that other great host whose mother hearts would mother the whole world woman kind; the mother heart of the race today is standing around the world. an army helpless. These women are not facing the iron cannons' mouth nor shoul- dering the steel musket, but in broken homes and in sheltered homes around the world are cry ing out either uttered or express ed, Don't, oh don't! Don't kill! Don't waste life! Don t send the manhood that we have brought to life to death. Don't send our boys to the slaughter house. Don't, oh don't" is the cry of the womanhood of the world today.
 It can scarcely be expected that the motherhood of the world today can look upon this picture of blood, with it's young experts in science, in education, lin commerce, trained and brought to manhood by the tre- mendous sacrifice of parents for honorable service" trying out their strength and devoting their lives as some one has said, ito the knock out in the great international prize-fght ring. !" Women cannot view this, we say. without a great agonzing cry. Don't oh, don't.
 Herr Wagner said, Tt is far better for a nation to abort in the production of men than to train them, educate them, and then-kill them" For what |? Can mother hearts ever consent to this unlicensed wholesale butchery of the sons of mothers All womanhOod is and must be for peace, for life. not death; {; tho there are some poor, deceiv- ed creatures in the nations of the earth who have been led to believe that the highest patriot ism is in bearing sons that the nation might bring unto itself glory in times of war. God have mercy upon women like unto that. The womanhood of Ameri- ca. believe, is due the ruler of this great nation and his coun- sellors a debt of gratitude that ic alp,cct nncpaakahla uho ,uitb

RACINE BANK SOUND.
False Rumor Starts Run on Racine Bank
But Money Is Stacked for Payment.

False rumors started a run on the
Manufacturers National Bank in Ra-
cine on Thursday afternoon and the run
caused something of a furry in the
financial world. It was reported in Ke-
nosha this morning that the bank was
in difficulties. There was absolutely no
truth to the rumor and when the bank
opened this morning it had currency
enough In its vaults to meet every de-
mand that could be made by deposit
tor. The false rumors which started the
run were due to a misunderstanding of
methods of cashing orders for payment
of wagons Of men employed in Racine
concern which recently went into iqui-
dation. When the bank officials de-
manded that the name of the assignee
Of this company be endorsed on these
checks the working men got the idea
that there was no money and started
Withdrawing saving deposits. Every
demand was promptly met and this
morning the confidence in the bank had
been restored. The report Of the Ma
tional Banking examiner was that the
bank was in excellent condition from
every standpoint.

PULLED DOWN THE SIGN.
Alderman Kisten of the Fifth Locks
Horns with the Board of Education.

Alderman Kisten the vigorous repre-
sentative of the Fifth ward on the Com
mon Council has locked horns with the
Board Of Education and on Thursday he
pulled down a sign which had been or
dered set in the curb near his home by
the Board of Education The sign is
one of the red signs warning motor
car drivers against driving too fast
when approaching school house. The
Fifth ward alderman insists that the
school board has no right to plant the
sign on his curb without his permission
and he promptly tore it down. The
board sent men up to put the sign back
and President Threinen expressed him
self rather forcibly on the matter this
morning. We are not looking for
trouble from Alderman Kisten or any
one else but if we have the right under
the law to put in these sins they are
going to stay put. = Alderman Kisten
is just as emphatic in his opposition
and it is probable that the matter will
get into the courts. 1t is claimed that
the only serious objection to the plac-
ing of the signs was made by the west
side alderman.

GETS THAT SAME DOLLAR.
Humane Agent Karnes Admits That He
Received Salary for Current Year.

James H. Karnes, Superintendent of
the Kenosha Humane Society has re-
|ceived his annual dollar. Nicholas
Brown, residing out in the country, has
the honor of making the only contribu-
tion that has been made to the work
Of the County Humane Society since the
first of January. Agent Karnes has
been on the job every day just the same
and he is going to remain on the job
but he seems to feel that the dollar is
scarcely enough for his expenses and
his II ne. The work of the society is
supported nearly entirely by free will
offerings and Agent Karnes is hopeful
that some one will come along and slip
him at least another dollar so that he
will be able to rattle them in his peck
cts. The State Association asserts that
the work done by Mr.. Karnes is worth
hundreds if not thousands of dollars
to Kenosha county every year.

WILL MAKE POOR HAPPY.
Or. Helen Harbert Wants Help in Civ
ing Everybody Joyous Holiday.

DR.. Helen Harbert, one of the city s
philanthropists, is busy with charit-
able work aAd she asks those who are
willing to help to call her up and offer
what they care to give, either in work,
money or materials.
A year ago DR.. Harbert interested
the public school children in aiding the
city's unfortunates at Thanksgiving
time and the children worked with
such will and other helpers rose up
from the ranks of adults and were So
enthusiastic, that when account was
taken of all that had been done, it was
found that 100 families with total of
900 people had been provided with
bountiful Thanksgiving dinners and in
many cases enough was given so that
the provisions lasted for several days.
This year DR.. Harbert wants to do
all this and in addition she wants to
provide clothing for the poor. She is
certain this can be easily done and she
is equally certain there are many who
would willingly help her could they be
apprised of her attempt. She cannot
find time to visit all these and inform
them, so she asks the Evening News to
invite every man, woman or child who
wishes to help in making some poor
family happy and thankful on the
great American holiday to write or
telephone her.
DR.. Harbert spent most of Monday
and today visiting ministers and
priests, soliciting their aid and she will
be busy arranging for automobile
service in delivering the gifts and in
planning the many other details which
will take time and attention if the
work is to run as smoothly and to be
as effective as it was last year. The
doctor has a number of engagements
to address parent-teaeher organizations

NC GOVERN HAsTENs TO DENY
LaFollette Men Turn Up Their Noses
at Even the Suggestion That Senator
and Former Governor Were Ready to
Forget Political Past.

That the LaFollette people are plan
ming on clean progressive slate with
no compromises was indicated by the
statements in both the LaFollette and
McGovern political circles at Madison
Tuesday The overtures of the past
two weeks to bring these two progress
sive factions together with the hope
that compromise slate could be
agreed upon has come to naught. SEN
ator LaFollette's closest political adj
visors are still persistent against
compromise and the attitude Of former
Governor McGovern has changed radi-
cally in the past few days.
Asked if he intended to take the
stump for LaFollette in his senatorial
campaign, Mr.. McGovern said that he
could see no reason why he should and
pointed out that LaFollette had taken
no interest in his (McGovern 81 sena-
torial campaign one year ago.
g 1t will take me two weeks to COM
pletely untangle the work of the last
session Of the legislature was the
only comment Senator LaFollette
would make on political subjects to-
day. GIN be On the stump this fall
and let the people know what has been
happening in this state
Meanwhile the conservative faction
in politics, headed by Gov. Philip, are
looking on with much amusement to
the differences in the progressive camp.
Gov. Philip is planning to capture a
conservative delegation to the nation
al convention. His name during the
last few days has been prominently
mentioned as possibility for vice
president. The LaFollette men charge
that this is an artful scheme to check
any boom of LaFollette for president
at the national convention
Out of power it is natural that
the progressives must make the first
play on the political chess board and
the conservatives are doing much
specializing as to whom the progress
sives will run for governor. Into the
discussion during the past few days
has crept the name of J. @. Emery,
former dairy and food commissioner
and one Of the best known farmers in
southern Wisconsin The LaFollette
men have taken the definite attitude,
however, that no gubernatorial candi-
date will be selected until LaFollette
has made his tour Of the state and
sounded out the people on the question
