MAYOR MADE GOOD RUN.
Added Entry for the Democratic Dele
cation is in Last Place, but He
Got More Than $4,000 Votes.

In forty-two counties of the state
which have reported on the Democratic
presidential preference ballot, President
Wilson has received a total Of 68,041
votes
The Wilson vote, in forty-two coun-
ties, is nearly that received by Senator
LaFollette in forty-fve counties, when
the senator had hard contest in his
own party to bring out his full strength
The LaFollette vote was 1924. The
Wilson vote in the forty-two counties
| is approximately that received by Gov
Philip in all the counties Of the state.
The governor s vote was 69,061
President Wilson runs far ahead of
the leading candidate for delegate-at-
large on his ticket. The leader on this
ticket is j. G. Karel, who received
1892 votes in the forty-four counties
which have reported the Democratic
delegate vote
Next to Karel comes Senator Husting
with 48,016 votes The others in order
are: Wolfe, with 42,003; Hilton, with
30,l36, and Scholey, with 33,239 votes.
The Scholey candidacy, which was
believed to have been aimed specifically
at Senator Husting, appears to have
very largely missed it's mark, and to
have cut all other candidates except
Husting and Karel.
The fact that Husting fell behind
Karel in the counties that have report
ed indicates that the Scholey candidacy
had only a minute effect in cutting his
vote, while several thousand voters
made Scholey their candidate instead
of Wolfe and Hilton.
Scholey is approximately 5000 be-
hind Hilton, the next lowest candidate.
The remaining counties are not likely
to enable him to cut the lead, as they
are largely in Hilton territory.

DEATH OF JOSEPH ME1sER.
Man Well Known on the Southwest
Side Of me City Died on Sunday
After Short Illness.

Joseph Meiser, aged forty years and

brother-in-law, Olaf Olsen, at the
corner of Superior street and Salem
avenue, after a weeks illness from
pneumonia. The deceased was a ma
tive of Ohio, but he had made his

WANT MAN FROM OTHER CITY
Members Of Board Are Agreed That New
Commissioner Should Not Be a Man
Connected With the Practice Of
His Profession in Kenosha.

DR.. John j. McShane is busy clean
ing up his work as health commissioner
Of Kenosha and while he is hopeful
that he will be able to leave for his
new position as director of public
health at Akron, Ohio, the latter part
Of this week, he is not going to leave
until the Kenosha Board of Health has
found some one to take his place.
Members Of the board have discussed
the possibilities of having DR.. McShane
remain in Kenosha, but they feel that
the offer from the Ohio city is SO far
superior to anything that can be of
fered to him here that his resignation
will be accepted without any effort to
have him change his decision to leave
Kenosha. DR.. McShane will remain
in active charge of the Kenosha sit
uation until his successor is named
He is hopeful, however that some one
will be named the last of this week in
order that he can keep his appoint
ment with the officials at Akron.
No formal meeting of the Board of
Health has as yet been called, but this
fact has not prevented flood of ap-
plications for the position left open by
the advancement of DR.. McShane. 1t
is understood that applications have
been received from health officials now
serving in several of the cities Of
Wisconsin and surrounding states and
all of them are anxious to come to the
"healthiest city in the country" and
try to continue the record made by the
retiring health commissioner. Thus
far no local applications have been re-
ceived and none are being expected by
the members of the Board of Health.
Under the Kenosha ordinance the
commissioner of public health must be
a man who has had special training
along the lines of health and santa
tion Members Of the Board of Health
believe that it would be mistake to
put into the Office any man who has
been actively connected with the prac-
tice of medicine in the city. They hold
that a health officer to be competent
and to get the best possible results
must be entirely free of any local
connections.
"We are seeking to get the best
possible man for this position" said
one of the members Of the board this
morning. "We can not rush the mat
ter even if we are forced to relieve
DR.. McShane to 60 to Akron before
we can find the man we want The
position is going to hard one to fill
We appreciate that the success of DR..
McShane in Kenosha has set a high
standard for the man who succeeds
him. We want to keep Kenosha right
or the health map and to do this we
must have man who is entirely com
petent to handle the conditions in
Kenosha. We have had several appli-
cations, but none of them have as vet
been formally considered. The man
who comes to Kenosha must be able to
give the assurance that he is educated
along the lines Of work to be followed
in the city It is not in any way a Job
for an amateur in the battle for the
public health. I think that most Of
the members of the board are agreed
that it would be better to have some
man who has not been connected with
the practice of medicine in the city. -

S. v. Barnum, the Oldest of the old
time printers of Kenosha, is now liv-

started in the business in Kenosha
way back in the early sixties and he
is still following his trade. He was a
brother of the late Mrs. Daniel Bene-

THE HOOSIER POET. RILEY.

News of the death of James Whit
comb Riley will bring grief to many
Of his followers.
Mr.. Riley's poems were true of the
soil and had the heart throbs of the
common folks. They were not hot
house blooms.
The things that grew and the lives
that were lived were his themes Even
the frost on the pumpkins and the
corn in the shock could move him to
tender song and verse He was a
singer of and from the plain people
whose, lot, speech and ways he was
so well acquainted with
When you met him in the flesh you
felt that you had known him in his
poems. He was that kind of a man
Such men OF his type are the kind
that survive in this world, the change
we call death. The body of Riley will
soon be moldering in the grave, with
the flowers and grasses blowing over
it. But his soul is still with us in the
popular pieces the people know and
love; and so will go marching on.

VERY TRUE, GENERAL.

General Leonard Wood spoke before
a large assembly of teachers gathered
in New York the other day. He spoke
on matters that are very close to army
men. One OF the points recorded by
him is: History is too superficially
taught in this country How many of
our children leave school, with knowl-
edge of the fact that we have never
fought a war without aid when we
engaged irst-claSs power of war?
We have too much Fourth of July or
atory in this country, all too much
of the type of man who speaks of a
million men springing up between
sunset and sunrise to the defense of
his country. We have been sitting
up nights for three weeks now, try
ing to see 10000 spring.
These words are very true Are
not children of a school age given a
distorted idea of the greatness of this
country They are made to think and
cherish that Millions for defense, but
not cent for tribute" are typical of
American spirit But how many of
them know that when these words
were uttered that Congress had no
money and no chance of getting any?
How many of them know of the ex-
periences of Franklin in Paris and of

AMERICAN CONSULAR SERVICE.

A Washington dispatch quotes
high consular official of the United
States as saying, with reference to
British insight into the protests Of
American merchants into the British
blacklist, "They know more about our
trade affairs than we do" There is
quite a bit of truth in this and the
same may be said of the Germans and
perhaps of the Japanese. Americans
are not as well posted as they should
be on the actions of other countries
This is because our consular service
is not in the hands of men who are
trained for the work. England
through her agents has been able to
secure information regarding bust
ness matters which have been a sub
ject of debate between the two coun-
tries, and SO far as the arguments
contained in the correspondence were
concerned, the United States comes off
second best. How long will Ameri-
cans realize that the only way for
them to gain any kind of success in
international trade is to get efficient
consular service?

LET NOT THE GUILTY ESCAPE.

The bOy-and-girl tragedies are be-
coming so numerous that it is imposs-
ible to overlook them. Something
should be done to stop them. Illinois,
which has just finhised the Orpet case,
now has the Hinterleiter affair on it's
hands. The tradegy is spectacular
and furnishes a broad field for dis
cussion.
Is Roy Hinterleiter the murderer OF
his sweet heart Elizabeth Radcliffe?
He is twenty-five years of age and
rode into Olney with the dead body
OF the girl lying across his lap. He
said she had tainted and he had taken
her to a sanitarium in the hope that
she would revive Medical examina-
ton, however, disclosed that she was
dead and her death was a result of
embolism due to the blowing of air
into the artery. 1t is believed this
was done by Hinter1eiter in his effort
to perform an illegal operation. Sew
eral of his companions say that he
bought an instrument that is used in
such operations. He was held to the
grand jury without bail Now his rel
at1ves are making strenuous efforts
to have him released on bail.
There is no doubt that the girl is
dead and that she has been foully
dealt with. The thing to do is to find
the guilty person and punish him. 1t
is time that crimes of these sort
| are stopped and their perpetrators
brought to justice. 1t is realized that
the persons who commit these crimes
are not men, but the worst kind of
cads. However, talking does not catch
them. There would be less sorrow in
the world if persons in authority
adopted General Greeleys famous
motto Let no guilty man escape"

THE BRITISH BLACKLIST,

The note that the State Department
at Washington has sent to England
complaining of the the blacklist will
not be made public until Monday
Meanwhile it is reassuring to note
that the English diplomats say that
the boycott will not be applied to neu-
trails; that even in the case of enemies
It will not affect existing contracts
and that there is no intention to pro-
hibit trade with the prescribed houses
except on the part of British sub
jects.
But incidents of the operation of
the policy which the black list repre-
sents have excited apprehension in
this county. These incidents indi-
cate that there are British and neutral
traders ready to sever relations with
houses that are not DIacklisted In
this respect the British undertaking
to regulate commerce by means of
proclamation is especially offensive
to American dignity and business mo-
rality.
From the tenor of some of the Eng
Gsh newspapers the ACCESSIBILITY of the
undertaking is sharply questioned
There are editors who ask whether
in this crisis that the English govern
ment can afford to adopt such a meth
cd that is sure to arouse dislike and
chill any friendly feeling that we have
to the English government. During
the last few days the subject has been
of much comment in the British press.
Other neutral countries have made
protest against the blacklist. 1t will
be interesting to note if the answer
to Mondays note will indicate wheth-
er the English will recede in their
demands.

Sixteen carloads of ammunition con-

officers and rerouted to the arsenal

Yes, and if it had not been for these

Rural Health-America's First Duty.

Washington, d. C.-"The estimated
fers each year from typhoid fever and
malaria alone aggregate $92S,2 $50,
leaving out of entire account the sor-
row, the unhappiness, the misery, and
the inefficiency which follow in their
train Senator Joseph E. Ransdell
of Louisiana addressed the senate on
the subject of Rural Health-Amer-
icas First Duty" "The greatest as
set which our country can hare" said
Senator Ransdell, lis the healthy
American citizen, and valuable as it
may be to increase the health of live
stock and vegetation, it is Of far great
er Importance that we throw every
possible safeguard about the health of
the man who is responsible for that
livestock and vegetation. Over 900
million dollars lost every year, A
sum which is sufficient to put our
country into state of preparedness
equal to that of any nation in the
world, enough money to give us the
largest navy af1oat and the most eff
cient army which the world has ever
seen, is annually offered up as sacri-
fee to two diseases which are entirely
preventable. Enough money to pay
the annual expenses of every college
student in the United States is abso-
lutely thrown away every year" Sen
ator Ransdell estimates the grand
total loss from typhoid fever at $271,-
932,SS0 per annum, and the loss from
malaria at 1854, 9O4,75O per year; the
total per capital loss from these two
diseases being $9.46. By comparative
estimates it was shown that the United
States government appropriated S.
016 IT'S for the investigation and pre-
vention of the diseases of animal and
plant life and only $1,917 ,566 for the
investigation and prevention of the
diseases of man.

IMPROVE e. S. AEROPLANES.

Forty-tWo aerOplanes have been or
dered built by the American govern
ment and thirteen inspectors of the
signal corps are at work in nine fac
tories inspecting their construction.
1t is all we'll to build aeroplanes
but it is still better to use that they
are safe Much indignation was
aroused recently when the aeroplanes
used on the Mexican border proved
inefficient and resulted in injuries to
the brave men who operated them.
At a conference of the war depart
ment with aeronatic experts is was
found that the main difficulty was due
to the cracking of propeller blades
due to the dry climate To properly
is to be properly seasoned and shipped
to the border in moist proof crates.
Aviators in the field are requested
to cover their propellors with an oil
soaked wooden jacket. Plans are now
under way to develop a metal propel-
Ter which will be free from atmos-
pheric conditions.
While the aeroplane is an American
product it has been improved in sew
eral respects by people abroad. AS
a result European machines have been
imported and their advantages are to
be worked in to the American type
There is no reason why the United
States should assume the attitude Of
being too proud to learn.
