STATE SEEKING INFORMATION
Letters Sent to Prominent Farmers in
Effort to Get Objections to the Law
as it is Now Administered May
Seek Amendments Later.

An effort is being made to have the
farmers Of Kenosha county propose
changes for the state highway law and
to this end score Of letters have been
sent to prominent men in the county
asking that they answer certain ques-
tions. While these letters bear the
signature Of the county highway com
missioner it is understood that Mr..
Herzog has simply acted for the state
commission in sending out the list of
questions. The move is one on the part
of the state department to get more
definite expression of the opinion of the
people themselves in regard to the ad-
ministration of the highway law.
There has been a great deal of com
plant from Kenosha county in regard
to the handling of highway money and
this county is declared to be the foun-
tain source Of lot of the troubles of
the commission. On this account the
responses to questions sent out by the
state commission to Kenosha county
men will be Of especial interest
1T is certain that from these re.
81 onses the state commissioners will
discover just what points of the high
way law are most objected to and it is
pretty certain that before the end of
the present session of the Legislature
these objections will be made the sub
ject Of communication from the com
mission to the committee on roads.

Judge Of Circuit Court Is
Strongly Urged For Place
on United States Bench.
JUDGE GEIGER MAY ADVANCE

1t was reported in Milwaukee today
that Federal Judge F. A. Geiger of the
Eastern District of Wisconsin, may be
named by the president to succeed the
late Judge w. H. Seaman as judge Of
the federal court Of Appeals. It is
declared that the naming Of the sue
cessor of Judge Seaman, who was a
Wisconsin man, will practically be in
the hands Of Judge Seaman, who was a
Husting and it is understood that Sena-
tor Husting is very favorably disposed
to the candidacy of Judge Geiger.
Should Judge Geiger be named for
the court of appeals there would be a
vacancy in the court for the Wiscon-
sin district. Already the possibility of
this vacancy is being considered and
prominent among the names being men
toned for the appointment is Judge
E. B. Belden of the First Wisconsin
Circuit. The high qualifications of
Judge Belden as judge, his utter lack
of partianship, and his long record on
the circuit bench, have made him the
ideal of members of the bar for this
high position. At the death of Judge
Joseph v. Quarles, Judge Belden was
considered as a most likely candidate
for the appointment, but at that time
Judge Belden refused to enter into any
political squabble for the position, tax
ing the position that the judiciary
should be entirely outside of political
rule. He was endorsed by the bench
and bar in every county in the First
Wisconsin Circuit. It has been stated
that had there not been a prior ar
rangement Judge Belden would have
been endorsed by the bar of Milwau-
kee county.
It is certain that Judge Belden will
rot himself make any move to secure
appointment to the federal bench in
case of the advancement of Judge
Geiger but it is just as certain that
his friends In this section of the state
will make the strongest possible effort
to bring his name to the consideration
of President Wilson who will make
the appointment.
John A. Aylward of Madison at pres
ent federal district attorney in the
Western District, has been mentioned
for the position, but Mr.. Awkward has
never been on the bench and it would

SHOWS BIG GROWTH.
Census of Catholics of the Nation
Shows Wisconsin is a Leading State,


Shows Wisconsin is Leading State,
Wisconsin has 576,47O Catholics, plac-
ing this state ninth in rank, according
to figures given in the official Catholic
directory just published and copy
righted by P. ]. Kennedy & Sons Of
New York.
The total number of Catholics in the
country is 16,3O9,310, an increase of
241,325 over 1914. This makes an in
crease Of 3,S46,5l7 American Catholics
in ten years.
Fortyfour dioceses- report increases
in the Catholic population, forty arch
dioceses and dioceses made no change in
the population figure and fifteen do
ceses show decreases although three of
the fifteen showing decreases have
given up territory for the establish
ment of the two new dioceses of Ell
Paso and Spokane.
Staisticians quoting Catholic statis-
ties usually deduct fifteen per cent for
children and infants, claiming that
only communicates should be counted.
The impression is created, therefore,
that Catholic statistics are exaggerat-
ed. The editor of the directory, Joseph
Fl. Meier, who has compiled the last
ten issues of the official Catholic di-
rectory, claims that instead Of being
over estimated The Catholic statistics
are under estimated and that the figure
l6,309,310 is very conservative. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Meier at least ten per
cent oughs to be added for float
ing" Catholic population of which no
record is kept.
There are 1894 Catholic clergymen
in the United States. Of these 14,00s
are secular clergymen and 1896 are
priests of religious orders. The in
crease in the number of priests during
the last year is shown to be 426.
Looking over the list of churches
one finds that there have been $40
Catholic churches established during
the last year. At the present time
there are 14,961 Catholic edifces in
this country. There are 1883 churches
with resident priests and 5,078 churches
without resident priests or in other
words, mission churches attended by a
neighboring pastor.
The directory further shows that
there are eighty-fve ecclesiastical
seminaries located in the United
States with 6,77o young men studying
for the priesthood. There are 229
colleges for boys and $50 academies for
girls. Furthermore, there are 284
Catholic orphan asylums with 45,742
orphans therein.
Another interesting feature Of the
directory is that part relating to the
parochial schools. The 1915 volume
shows that there are 5,4S8 parishes
with parochial schools and in these
parochial schools there are 1856, FOG
children enrolled.

This communication will undoubtedly
seek to have the law amended in order
to meet many of the objections made
by the men in the various counties.
Here is a list of the questions sent to
farmers in this county:
/. Do you consider the standard of
road work done In Kenosha county un-
der the present law better of worse
than the work done under the old
county aid lawg
2. Do you think that town chair
men would desire to have charge of
the work themselves or that it would
be beneficial if they did,
8. Do you think it would improve
the present law by creating a road
committee and give to it some control
of the plans and acts Of the highway
commissioner and to report upon his
work to the county board9
4. Do you think it is just and right
for some counties to build and main
tain system Of highways and other
counties not to do likewiseq
5. Can you suggest a better way to
induce all counties to do something
than by levying a nominal state tax
with opportunity extended to each
county to win it back by doing road
work9
Would you have any serious objec-
tions to the present law if the annual
state appropriation we're cut down to
a point where each county can easily
utilize its portion Of the fund and will
not stand to lose or be compelled to do
more work than local sentiment de-
mands?
Which do you consider of greater
Importance? The question of who shall
have control Of the work or the ques-
tion of how best to obtain a dollar Is
worth of road for dollar in money
8. Do you consider it beneficial to
have surveys and plans made by the
state highway departments
Do you consider state supervision of
construction beneficial?
10. Would state supervision be eff
fective if it did not have state fund
to back it upg

WOMEN EXERCISE FRANCHISE
Frank Shuart of Bristol Takes Out Pc
titions to Succeed Himself on County
Board of Education.--No Opposition
for Chief Justice Winslow.

There is going to be some excitement
in the spring campaign in the county
this year. It is going to be featured
by the race for County Superintendent
between Miss Sarah Devlin of Bristol
the first woman to seek this honor in
the county, and John j. Kerwin, the
present County Superintendent. Both
of these candidates have petitions in
circulation and it is taken for granted
that there will be no further candidates
in the. running. Mr.. Kerwin has held
the Office for a number of years and is
considered a strong candidate for the
office, but Miss Devlin is making a
thorough canvass of the county and it
| is certain that she is rallying to her
support many of the voters. 1t will be
decidedly interesting to watch the de-
yelopment Of the contest on account of
| its NOVELTY. With his long record of &C
complishment Mr.. Kerwin is about as
strong candidate as could be found in
the county and Miss Devlin has almost
as long a record as a teacher and a
worker in educational lines. 1T is GER
tain that the candidacy Of Miss Devlin
will result in more women voting in the
county this year than ever before. In
fact women voting in the rural towns
of the county has never been tried. In
| past years there has been no especial
cause for the women voting as there
has been no contest on the Office of
County superintendent 1t is declared
that there are more than 1000 women
in the rural towns of the county eligi-
BILE to the ballot and should all Of these
women decide to vote their ballots
would go a long way toward determin-
ing the result of the election.
| In addition to the election Of Coun-
/ ty Superintendent the couny voters
will name member of the County
Board of Education to succeed Frank
Shuart, who in the grand lottery year
| ago drew the one-year term on the
board. MIR. Shuart has taken out petit
tions for reelection. He has been one
of the most active members of the
board and as yet there has no opposi.
ton 10 his candidacy appeared. Peti-
tions for this Office and for the office of
County Superintendent may be fled at
any time within eight days before the
election and this will leave plenty Of
time for any number Of candidates to
get into the field.
The judicial election this year will
not be of especial interest. There are
no judges for Kenosha county to be
elected and probably the only name on
the ballot will be that of John B. Wins.
1 low, the present Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court, who is candidate fol
reelection. Chief Justice Winslow has
had long and honorable career on the
state bench and it is certain that there
will be no opposition to his reelection

be an unusual proceeding for the presi-
dent to name any one other than a
man with some experience of a judicial
nature to the United States bench.
Mr.. Awkward would undoubtedly
have considerable support of a political
nature for the position, but it is prob
able that the members of the bar
drought the district would be more
favorable to a man of judicial expert

SOUR STOMACH

When vegetable food ferments it causes sour rising in the throat, the formation of gas in the stomach which distends it and causes pain often extending to the region of the heart and arousing fear of heart disease. This condition is called acid dyspepsia.
 Heartburn, name applied to pain in the pit of the stomach, with palpita- tion of the heart, results from acid dys- pepsia.
 It is a condition t,1at can be corrected by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to tone up the digestive organs and by a proper selection of food. Send today to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schen- ectady, N. Y., for the diet book "What to Eat and How to Eat' It contains information about the diet in health and sickness and is free on request. It gives complete information regarding the tonic treatment of many forms of stomach trouble with Dr. Williams Pink Pills. There cannot be perfect digestion with out a sufficient supply of red blood and there is nothing better than Dr. Williams Pink Pills to enrich the blood and tone up the stomach.

HOW SHE ENDED
 TEN YEARS OF l. SkIN-T0RTURE

Oct. 2S, I9l4:-"I had eczema on my face for ten years. Little red pimples formed in small spot on my chin and then spread all over my face. They itched and burned me awfully. It was certainly embarrassing to me, and I would not go amongst people. I tried almost every remedy and treatment that could be used for this trouble, but nothing did me any good. I used Res incl Ointment and Resinol Soap, and was relieved in day or two. In one month I was cured. This was six months ago and the trouble has never returned. ."-( (signed) Mrs. c. c. Rob- erts, Weatherford, Okla.
 The Resinol treatment speedily heals eczema, rashes, ringworm, and other eruptions, and clears away disfguring pimples and blackheads, even when other treatments prove worse than use- less. Doctors have prescribed Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap for eigh- teen years, and all druggists sell them.
