HUSTLER is a man who doesn't
"A depend on d policeman to tell
= - him to keep moving.
The hustler is readily distinguished
by the fact that he is just getting
through with a job of work This dis
tinguishes him at once from the busy
man who is always just about to tackle
a job Of work as soon as he can get
something else off of his hands.
The dictionary says a hustler is
man who pushes or crowds rudely.
Those who have seen a hustler backing
a big job off the map and elbOWing his
way through three days work for
lazy man between sunup and supper
time will agree with the definition
The hustler never begins the day by
telling how much he has 10 do. He is
always too busy in the early morning
TO talk. Later on when he has finished
his big job and is looking around for
q few scattering tasks he may tell how
hard he has worked But il is very diff
ficuIt to induce a hustler TO stop and
tell you how hard he is going to work.
He prefers to let you watch him and
learn for yourself.

not so much by the actual urging of womanEnd as by
the inner sense Of what is expected of them. Few
could have quite the respect for shirker
in time Of national crisis they would have for
who sprang to do his public duty. It would be the
women who would pray for success in arms while also
praying for peace; It would be the women who would
present the battle flags shower roses upon the soldiers
marching war and pin ebems of courage upon their
uniforms.

any comparison be wise, it is probably safe to say
that men would probably be more conservative than
women IN deciding upon war-not because the men are
less courageous but because they more different
sides Of the question and comprehensivey sense
the effects of war, than women do. Woman's impulse
IS in a way, elemental, more fundamental, far
more direct and dynamic, than mans mind Mind tells
US that is Illogical and wasteful; impulse tells
that it may sometimes become necessary the race is
to conserve any ideal which elevates principle above
the instinct to ones skin.
It is doubtful if any considerable number Of people
in the world yet convinced themselves that is
always morally wrong. Morality is relative. Morality
is meaningless term unless it signify the positive
supremacy of good over evil Until moral force is much
more perfectly developed in the world than it is today
It appears that, to defend against humiliation the
choice to take up ard say must at times be made
and acted upon It does not appear that women the
whole, admit the debatabiHty Of this question.
The end of war is likely to come eventually
through the action Of men, grounded in economic
sderaons than through the action Of women grounded
in sentimental considerations

would reduce the chances of war? On senti-
mental grounds it is often contended that since
the chief sufferers in war; they would cause war
to If they could. But history IN all ages and
among all peoples shows clearly that has been
supported not fostered by women, at least as much
by men.
This fact is patent to all who have any knowledge
Of past events that it does need proof eabora-
ton. We have Just had new demonstration in the
events in Italy. Only yesterday it told in the
dispatches how "a crowd, composed chiefly of women,
invaded the square which faces the palace of the
governor, cried Death to Francis Joseph burned IN
Austrian flag, together with the portrait of the en-
perOr, and attempted to attack the palace The gov
enOr ordered gendames to charge, and the women re-
tired, fighting stubbornly; AZ women were killed and
over 300 injured"
This Is by means isolated or exceptional case
These who read the proceedings of the Womens Peace
congress at The Hague few days ago must have been
struck with the fact that among the fore
most advocates of The delegates agreed upon the
evils Of considered abstracy but definite action
toward peace possible because national and race
differences caused the spirit to break out again

MAYHAVEBEEN MIL WAUKEE MAN
Man Was Well Dressed and Was ApN
parently Sixty Years of Age.-Had
Carefully Destroyed AL Evidence
of His Identity.
From Wednesdays Daily

An unknown man apparently sixty
years of age and well dressed, hung
himself to a rafter in the barn on the
farm of Fred B. Hansche, quarter of
a mile south of the Racine county line
on the Racine road some time during
the night. His dead body was found
by Mr.. Hansche Just after ten O'Clock
this morning and after an investiga-
ton of the case had been made by the
coroner the body was brought to Keno
sha and it is now being held at the
Rutledge and Crossin morgue for iden-
tification Before the man hung him
self he had carefully removed from his
clothing anything which might aid in
an Identification. There was not a
scrap of paper in any of his pockets
and even the label which had been
placed on a new blue suit of clothes
had been torn off
The man had not been seen in the
neighborhood of the Hansche farm.
He had evidently gone to the side of
the barn and finding favorable place
had hanged himself with piece of
clothes line which he had brought
with him. He showed nerve in taking
his life. He had made a common loon
In the end of the clothes line and had
fastened the other end firmly to raft
er. He had choked himelf by exert
ing ais sN@ight on the ope It had cut
deep into his neck The condition of
the body indicated that the man had
been dead for several hours when the
body was found. The place where he
was found was on the side of the
ba' seldom visited by the men en-
ple ed about the farm.
foroner Millager made a careful
ssarch of the clothing of the man in
hopes of finding something which
might furnish clew to his identity.
The man was about FIVE feet eight
inches tail, weighed in the neighbor-
hood of one hundred thirty pounds, had
gray hair and was slightly bald on the
front of his head. He had evidently
been shaved only short time before
he hung himself. He wore blue suit
WIN " WhlOO SCTlp6 IN III ana the
clothing had the appearance of having
been worn but short time. He had
white straw hat, black shoes. The
hat bore the name of a store in Mil
waukee. He wore light purple socks
and underwear of good material. His
underwear like other articles of his
apparel appeared to have been pur-
chased only short time ago. No
money was found in his pockets.
Coroner Millager thinks that the
man may be from Racine and the po-
lice department in that city and in
Milwaukee have been asked to aid in
solving the mystery surrounding his
identity.
No date has been set for the inquest
over the man and an effort will be
made to locate friends and relatives
first.

GET NO COMPLAINTS.
Board of Review in Session but Keno
sha People Are Not Interested.

Sna PEOPLE Are Not interested.
Kenosha people are showing little or
no interest in the valuation of prop
erty as made by the assessor this year.
The board of review was in session for
the second time of the year this morn
ing, but not a single sskick' was regis
tered against assessments as made. In
fact in the two meetings that have
been held just two people have at
tended the meetings. Both came to
make an inspection of the assessment
rolls and they evidently were satisfied
with the valuation placed on their
property as they did not make any
protest.
We will get the objections after
the tax levy is made" was the com
ment of one of the members of the
board this morning. "Year after year
the people of the city refuse to pay
any attention to the assessment until
after the taxes are levied and then
they kick like everything.
The board will hold many sessions
between now and the last of August
so that every one in the city will have
chance to make objections

TO INCREASE WORKING FORCE
From Two to Three Hundred Men Will
Be Added to the Pay Roll of the Com
pany as New Plant is Put Into Use
Simmons Moving Into New Building.

There may be factories in the country
which are struggling along to keep the
roofs over their heads but this is not
true In Kenosha. Kenosha factories are
doing business-lots of business. So
much business that they are being
forced to build bigger plants and put
more men to work. Speed is the thing
that is being demanded in the big plants
of Kenosha now and right here the
American Brass Company enters the
the field as the speed champion. There
were lot of people in Kenosha who be-
ieved that all the speed at the brass
works was concentrated in a base ball
team which has cinch on every prize
connected with the factory league but
the big company has established new
record for speed in factory buildings.
On June End of this year the orders
were drifting in in mighty regular
flow over the counters at the Elizabeth
street plant. There was need to run the
whole plant day and night in order to
take care of the business of the COM
pany and in order to make it possible to
work day and night shifts all over the
plant new brass casting shop was de-
manded. The order for the building
was given to the American Bridge and
Iron Company of Chicago on the same
day. Today the new casting shop $50
feet long and 60 feet wide is one of the
busiest parts of the plant. All records
for the construction of factory buildings
In Kenosha were broken in the building.
The building is of steel and sheet iron
construction twenty-seven feet from the
ground to the trussed roof and it was
turned over to the Brass Company by
the constructing company on July End,
just "a days after the original contract
for the building had been let. The com
pletion of this new casting shop means
lot of men getting work in Kenosha
as with the new shop the company is
planning to increase its force of work
men. From two to three hundred men
will be put on within the next few days
just as soon as new schedules can be
completed.
The Simmons Manufacturing com
pany are now planning to move into the
great new building just completed for
this company and within the next ten
days this building will resound with the
hum of machinery used entirely for
making the new steel tube beds--the
bed that added seven acres to the Sim
mons plant. The company has been
considerably handicapped in making
this new bed on account of lack of room.
With the new building fully equipped
the company will be adding a large
force of men at once. Just at present
the idle men of Kenosha are largely
limited to men who don t care to do real
work or men who have forgotten to pro-
vide themselves with trade.

OTHER TOWNS FOLLOWING SUIT
Somers People Keeping Close Tab on
Saloons With View of Demanding
Vote on License Questions if Bars Are
Not Held in Check.

Regulation of the saloons in the
town of Rande. and Dis ans ats8he
larger sammor resorts Of Kenosha
county, IS now an established thing
Cards have been placed in all the sa.
looms and these cards bear copy OF
the new ordinance passed by the town
board of the town of Randall. 1t pro-
vides that every saloon in the town
must close it's doors at eleven O'Clock
every night in the week with the ex-
ception OF Saturday and at twelve
clock on SATURDAYS night. The sa-
looms may not be opened before the
hour Of five O'Clock in the morning.
The ORC aance provides minimum
fine of five dollars for violation Of the
regulation and gives to the justice or
magistrate who may hear the case,
power to revoke the license of the Of
Tending saloon man or bartender.
1t is declared that the enactment of
the ordinance and the assurance that
it will be enforced to the very letter
will do away with a lot of the gay
week end parties which have been held
at some Of the resorts and it is adj
mitted that since the ordinance was
passed some of these places are hav-
ing locks put on the barrooms doors.
Keys to all the locks on the doors be-
fore had been lost or filed away to
be forgotten.
Randall's experiment in regulating
summer resort bars promises to be CON
tagious as other town boards have no.
titled the district attorney that they
will pass regulation ordinances. Inter
est centers in the town of Salem. Out
in that town there has been a recent
fight over license and while the 90 drys !"
were defeated by a considerable ma
jority the people promoting the fight
against saloons are anxious to submit
the question again. Saloons in the
town of Somers have started plan to
regulate themselves and it is declared
that the saloon men in that town have
a pretty good understanding that they
will follow the regulations which have
been approved in the town of Randall.
The Somers town board is ready to
take action if these regulations are not
followed. 1t is regarded as pretty GER
tain that the license question viii be
put to the voters in Somefs again at
the city election in 1916 and for this
reason the saloon men are anxious to
make as good a showing as possible.
Somers is regarded as one of the real
fighting grounds of the county on the
license question and at previous cleo
tions the vote has been decidedly close.
The members Of the town board are
wholly in accord with the plan for reg
ulating the saloons. Violations of the
Randall ordinance are to be promptly
prosecuted and the members of the two
boards have whole army of deputy
sheriffs who may make the arrests.
