The Fraternal Parade.

Tired Kenosha people who had strain
ed their eyes to get the last glimpse of
the automobile parade had only cou-
pie of hours to rest before the even
greater parade of the fraternal socie-
ties was put on. This was most
wonderful showing of the societies.
The parade had more than two thous-
and men and women in the long line.
Racine "the sister city" was real
sister and she sent to Kenosha more
than four hundred men to march in
the last parade Of the Home Coming
and these men contributed many of the
most beautiful features of the parade.
At the first should be mentioned the
drum corps and the famous Elks
Marching Club of Racine. Eighty uni
formed men under the command of
Chief of Police Henry G. Baker Of
Racine. The marching club was the
most splendidly drilled body of men
ever marching on the streets of Keno
sha Then Racine sent down a whole
regiment of marchers from the ranks of
the Knights Of Pythias, the Eagles,

Chester D. Barnes Says There Is No
Longer Need of Maintaining Position

Longer Need of Maintaining Position
That there is no further reason for
continuing the Office of state oil inspec-
tor and deputies was the contention Of
Chester D. Barnes of Kenosha, before
the committee on finance of the Iegis-
lature yesterday afternoon. He said
when gasoline was cheap a number Of
years ago it was possible to adulterate
kerosene, but now that the latter has
become more expensive there is no more
reason for inspecting oils hey nd that
of food products. Only two barrels Of
oil had been rejected in the past year,
he said. Thomas J. Mahon, for indie
pendent oil interests, opposed the bill
decloring it was in favor of the Stand
ard Oil company. IF the present in
spection system is to be continued, he
said, lives of Wisconsin citizens will
be sacrificed. State Oil Inspector
Meyer also opposed the bill.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

sv WASHINGTON LEIIER.
Washington, D. G. June 8
The Court of Customs APP
peals has just added another
act to the comedy of errors
in which the Democratic ad-
ministration takes the star
part.
The Court has rendered an
opinion on the construction
of the provision in the Un-
derwood tariff law intended
to give a five per cent dis
count in customs duties on
merchandise imported in
American vessels, and has
virtually declared that the
effect Of the provision gives
: a wholesale discrimination
in favor of ships of foreign
countries.
In a recent article atten-
ton was directed to this class
ic blunder then pending be-
fore the Customs Court. The
slovenly mathods by which
it was enacted were referred
to. showing that the Demo-
Gratis had a vague method of
extending such aid, and by
careless guess work had
thrown the whole matter in
to the courts. 1t was shown
that DUNG the debate in Con-
gress Republicans had given
repeated warnings that, a
part from its policy, the
phraseology of the five per
cent section was meaningless
and should be corrected to
accomplish it's purpose.
The decision of the Court
Of Customs Appeals com
pletely confirms these state
ments, and rubs it in by say
ing:
THE wisdom or expediency
OF the policy is matter into
which we may not in
quire nor Lave we the right
to suspend the operation of
the statute because we may
think its purpose is not ade-
quately accomplished"
InS harmony with the de-
cision of the court of Customs
APPEALS there will be IA refund
of customs duties estimated
at from twelve million to fif- +
teen million dollars. who
gets the benefit of this refund
Eventually by far the larger
part of it will find its way in
to the Golfers of foreign man

The boys and girls clubs, like other

pose the study of literature or his
tory, as is the case of reading clubs.

proficiency from its members in these

shows that their desired ends have
been accomplished.
These clubs will necessarily differ
in purpose and scope of work uader-
taken. AS has been said, the ultimate
end of this organized effort should be
greater efficiency The club work
must be vitalized. 1t must pertain to
the industries of the locality. In the
locality where a rural high school ex.
lists, the club need not concern itself
with the study Of the elementary pin.
ciples of agriculture, but may devote
its time to more scientific problems
and their applications. However, In
the many localities Of this State,
where such advantages do not exist,
the initial work of the club would be
to teach the elements. The end of
this type of club would be to have the
local school assume the responsibility
Of the elementary instruction work as
soon as possible. In either instance,
the club Is composed Of individuals in
the adolescent period, and in order to
be effective, its educational feature
must be its strongest argument
Since the clubs are educational In
their character, the logical place for
their organization is at the school
building. The teacher should call the
meeting and form an organization.
To begin with, 1t might run as simply
a school club, but eventually, It should
reach all of the young people OF the
community. All that is needed is
some one to take the initiative, Lead
ers who will keep the movement go
ing will soon be developed. 1t is ad
visable to have some older person,
who may act in an advisory capacity.
as a member of the club.
Probably the easiest time of the
year to form a club of boys and girls
is the autumn when the school opens.
At this time the children are eager
for cOmpanionship, and are readily or
ganized for special work, 1t is, how.
ever not essential to wait until the
opening OF the school year to organize.
Get together a group Of boys and girls
who are willing to devote definite
amount OF time to study, and you will
have the basis OF successful club.

grasslands where they occur should
be dragged with hopper-dozer. This
hopper-dozer is q long, shallow gal

Burning over the grass lands be-

Career Of Duke Of the Abruzzl.

The Duke of the Abruzzi, command
er-in-chief of Italy's navy, comes of
q famous fighting house-the House
OF Savoy. He Is forty-two years old,
and Is mainly known to the world as
an intrepid explorer, particularly as
mountaineer. In 1897 he assembled the
frozen heights Of Mount Elias in
Alaska, feat, 1t is said, never
heretofore performed. Two years
later came his polar expedition, in
which he made a point farther north
than hansen had reached. This was
followed by mountaineering feats in
Africa 'and among the Himalayas. In
early boyhood the duke showed
fondness for the sea, and entered the
Italian navy at the minimum age. He
was educated at the naval school at
Leghorn, and has had most success
full career as an officer of the feet,
having risen in the service by his
own merits and industry,
