This section had less of the real
storms of the past week than other

Reflected Dissertations
BY MAX E. LAND.

That is a lovely situation which has
recently developed in the Atlanta
branch Of the Anti-Saloon League, Eich
elberger-F Fielder Law Enforcement Blu
reau. Such was to be expected, how
ever, from such an aggregation. The
charges and counter charges and Grim
nations of leg pulling and flirtations
with breweries is not surprising.
Money and self glory was no doubt
the foundttion, as they so often are in
such cases. This concern was getting
so exclusive, so exultant and so self
righteous that it was about time for
something to happen. They were get
ting nearly ready to sprout wings, and
when human flesh gets this far along
then watch out for something to start.
Whenever the thing gets air tight, with
all the spigots we'll driven, then look
out for mighty roar and splash from
the bung hole. The old phi osophy has
proven true in this case, and the love
of money seems to still be the root OF
all evil.

An Indiana town uses the waste
steam from its water and electric plant
to heat the court house and the public
school buildings. Besides owning their
light aud water plants, towns and
cities in other states have numbers
of WAYS of reducing the public expense.
When we learn how to operate our
municipalities at minimum costs and
then apply the profits from the public
utilities towards defraying the eXpens-
es that are still TO be met, conditions
will be ideal.

The other editorial, which is attrac
tive for it's good wisdom, was on the
subject entitled Being Common" or
yhe Importance of individual independ-
ence apropo, the refusal OF some OF
the voman's organizations of Macon
to march in the preparedness parade
on the Fourth of July.
The editorial is worth pasting in the
scrap book of any person who has in
dividuulity and love of the natural
and common sense things, and pity
for those who wait for sign of the

But alter the breathing in Ascalon
and the telling of this thing in Gath
lis there still not another reason why
these organizations refused to march?
Apart from the idea that they would be
considered common, were they not al
so afraid they would be considered as

The Macon Telegraph carried two
especially strong editorials in the Sun
day edition That one about the Geor-
gia soldiers having been in camp for
three weeks. and our government not
furnishing them with the necessary
equipment to stand the weather nor
cots to sleep upon does look bad, and
is bad The Telegraph also intimates
that supplies had been taken from the
Unitei States arsenal at Augusta and
sent to ncrtherly states, and if this is
true II is still worse. 1t is a down.
right shame. The Telegraph says this
is inefiiciency on the Part of our Of
'fcials at Washington and calls upon
bur congressman to get busy. No, it
cannot be charged to inefticienSy. for
surely our democratic officers are eff
ficient enough and have sense enough
to ship the goods to Macon. 1t is most
likely the same old thing about too
much democracy and that the equip
ment for the soldiers has gone TO the
doubtful or independent states. where
the officials at Washington want votes
and where they must show how timely
and efficient they are in order to get
them. If the investigation is started
would like to be able to make wa
ger that the goods could be found in
the doubtful states, provided of course.

August. The Georgia boys and their
relatives and friends are doubtless SOL

If the Gets have gone tC doubtful states
it will likely be the first time votes
have been Secured with cots.

The Georgia Legislature is again be-
ing over-run with bills aimed at curing
all human weaknesses. The best law
they could enacy would be that the
general assembly should meet for fifty
days once every two years, and take
the money expended for attmpts at
freak legislation and hot air and use
it for education or good roads. They
want to tax to death every little pleas
ure or luxury the people can get UP.
The bill to tax to death soft drinks
was killed in the committee and prop
erly so. The people should be allowed
this pleasure at least, and II the
state must have money let them tax
properly, for it is property which
should pay the expenses of govern
ment and not the little pleasures and
amusenents and necessities of the peo-
ple. Most of us would be glad to take
the property and pay its taxes.
There is no use for any person to
get worried by the number of radical
or freak bills introduced. They are
only propositions made for self glary,
with no intention of making the won
derful suggestions law. There are only
about five per cent of the general bills
that pass, and they generally have to
be sound

NO REHEARING IN sCHILDT CASE
Judge Belden Declines to Grant Re-
hearing in Damage Case Non
Suited in Circuit Court.

Judge E. B. Belden in the circuit
court this morning handed down de-
cision refusing rehearing in the suit
of Louis Schildt VS.. w. O. johnson, re-
ceiver and the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway company. Schildt
asked $4,000 for personal injuries and
the case was non-suited a month ago
when the court held that the evidence
showed contributory negligence on the
part of the plaintiff. It was shown
that he had stood near the tracks Of
the railway and had attempted to sig
nal train by lighting matches. Judge
Belden in his decision held that the
fact that he had intended to become a
passenger on the train did not establish
the relation Of passenger and carrier
Attorney Calvin Stewart, who repre-
sented the plaintiff in the case, has an
nounced that the appeal will be taken
to the supreme court.

EDw. M. MITTEN DIES IN WEST.
Former Well Known Kenosha Man
Died at Los Angeles, CAL,
After Long Illness.

Letters have been received in Keno
sha announcing the death of Edward
NJ. Mitten, twenty-six years of age,
and the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Nit
ten of this city, which occurred on
Saturday, June 3rd, at Los Angeles,
Cal. The deceased was born in Keno
sha, July 16, 1890, and he had lived
here until three years ago when he
went west in hopes that change of
climate would improve his health He
was formerly well known among the
employees of the Simmons Manufact-
uring company. He is survived by his
parents, two sisters, Mrs. Charles
Fletcher and Mrs. Bert Baxter Of Ke-
nosha, and two brothers, Frank and
Ignatius Mitten of Chicago. The fun
eral services were held at Los Angeles.
The deceased was never married.

to establish the fact, if indeed the
plaintiff is bound to establish that fact
by direct evidence. That finding is so
substantial a misunderstanding of and
failure to properly comprehend the
case that it must be held perverse.
The jury might as well, in their arbi-
trary and sovereign pleasure, render
verdict without evidence as against
evidence A verdict may be perverse
if the jury, though acting honestly,
through mistake or misunderstanding
did not fairly apply their judgment to
the evidence. Perversity does not
necessarily signify dishonesty, or any
thing of that nature. It suggests a
state of being moved, consciously or
unconsciously, to look at things from
the wrong standpoint. 1t is not neces-
sary, to consider a verdict perverse,
that it be held to be the result of pas
sion or prejudice. No doubt the YER
diet in this case is the expression of
honest judgment, but nevertheless such
judgment was perverted. Such perver-
sion may have been the result of mis-
understanding or miseonception on the
part of the jury, or the result of errors
and confusion in the way the case
was submitted.
There are but two questions for the
jury in this case: First, as to whether
the defendant was negligent in the de.
livery of the telegram, which must be
answered afirmatively. A finding to
the contrary cannot stand. Second,
the amount of damages. The latter is
the only real question for the jury in
the instant case.
In view of the fact that the maxi
mum amount of damages that may be
allowed in such cases is limited by the
statute in this state, and is so well
and generally established by many de-
eisions, it might seem that a settle
ment of this case by the parties might
be arrived at with little difficulty"

HUNDRED PER CENT, RULES.
No Spirited Bidding Marks the Sale of
Tax Titles at the County Building
This Morning.

The annual sale of tax titles conduct
ed by County Treasurer Philip Hartman,
Jr., at the office of the county clerk
this morning did not bring even a ripple
of excitement and every man who
bought tax title got title to a hundred
per cent of the property described.
There We're no outsiders here to battle
over the purchase of the titles and for
the first time in the history of the
county probably-every piece of prop
erty was sold on single bid. There
were lot of pieces of property offered
for which there was no bid and these
were left for the county to collect. The
lack of interest in the sale made it move
quickly and the last of the titles had
been disposed of before noon. There
was some $1,000 in unpaid taxes to
be collected through the sale but much
of this amount still remains to be col
lected by the county.

about. He then called on one of the
original charter members of the union,
Louis Hansman, who arose amidst the
applause of the guests and members,

Harry Fishman, $40 Pleasant street,
colllded with one driven by John
Mohr, 1l6 North Ridge street. Fish

the car driven by Mohr,. but none Of
them were injured. The two damaged
automobiles were thrown against the
curb at the corner and they proved the
most interesting feature of traffic in
Kenosha on Sunday afternoon.

POLITICAL POT sIMMERING
Harmony Among Republicans Throws
Wet Blanket over Budding Hopes Of
Democrats Who Had Been Planning
to Make Raid on County Building.

James w. Blair, for the past seven
years deputy county treasurer of Keno
sha county, today announced that he
would be a candidate for the office OF
county treasurer and that he would
seek the Republican nomination at the
September primaries. He was busy
conducting the sale of tax titles at the
court house when he made his announce
ment.
II have been deputy county treasur-
er for the past seven years. he said,
land / am now a candidate for the
real job. [ know just what the duties
of county treasurer are and if the peo-
pie of the county see fit to elect me,
will agree to give them the best posi-
BILE administration that seven years in
the Office will dictate.
Mr.. Blair is widely known in Keno
sha city and county. He has spent his
entire life here and for many years he
has been IN charge of the savings de-
partment of the First National bank.
His candidacy for county treasurer will
be his first appearance as candidate
for Office in the city or county. lie has
very large following among the young
men of the city and these men will
insure him cordial support in the pri-
mary and in the election. Mr.. Blair is
the first candidate to shy his castor into
the ring for any of the county Offices
with the exception Of sheriff.
1t is tacitly understood that the pres
ent county officials with the exception
Of Sheriff Andrew f. Stahl will all be
candidates for reelection but the men
are holding off the announcement of
their candidates. until later in the sum
mef, awaiting developments in the po-
litical situation. 1t is certain that
there will be an unusually large number
OF candidates before the primary this
year. 1t is not expected that the coun-
ty organizations of the Democrats and
Republicans will follow the state com
mlttees In holding conventions and the
candidates for county offices will have
to fight it out at the primaries without
aid OF the party organizations.
A little while ago the Democracy of
the county had high hopes that this
year would DO an excellent open season
for Democratic candidates for county
offices, bua with the nomination of
Hughes and the coming of harmony to
the Republican ranks, TIE visions of a
Democratic raid on the county building
have gone glimmering and it is not ex-
pected that there will be nearly so MANY
Democratic candidates as would have
been in the field had there been q d.
\ vision among the Republicans ON the
national ticket.
There is lot of time for candidates
to come into the fell and petitions of
the candidates will not have to be fled
until early in August. 1t is pretty GER
tain that most of them will be out in.
the open within the next two or three
weeks and already some Of the candi-
dates have petitions in circulation.
After the state conferences are held
In Milwaukee and Madison it is EXPECT
ed there will be greater activity among
the men who are seeking places on the
county ticket.
