POWELL TO OPPOSE DeD1EMAR.
Raymond Powell of Bristol Takes Out
Petitions for Office Of Clerk OF
the Circuit Court.

Raymond Powell, well known Repub-
lican of the town of Bristol, has taken
out petitions as Republican candi-
date for the Office of clerk of the cir
cult court and he expects to oppose B.
M. DeDiemar at the coming election.
Mr. Powell has lived all his life in Ke-
nosha county and is widely known
throughout the county. He was form
erly member of the County Board of
Education and he gave much service to
the county in connection with the work
of the board. So far as is known he
will not be opposed for the nomination
on the Republican ticket. No other
petitions for Republican candidates
were announced today. It is limited
that there may be another Republican
candidate in the race for sheriff, but no
petitions are in sight as yet.

Letting the Soldiers Vote.

likely to remain there until after the
centrated along the Mexican border and
coming election, much attention is be-
ing given by the various states to the
question Of providing some plan to al
low these soldiers to vote. It generally
is agreed that such privilege should not
be withheld from the members Of the
militia, who have been called away
from home to do service for the nation
and should not be DISTINGUISHED by
their act Of loyalty. A federal law ap-
pears to be out Of the question, for the
simple reason that the states have the
right to determine the eligibility of
voters, within the limits of the federal
constitution, and state laws and regula-
lions differ considerably. It therefore
remains for each state to supply a
method for its own soldiers to vote, if
the latter are to vote at all.
Wisconsin and one or two ether states
already have a system intended to per-
NIT voting by mail, by voters who
necessarily are absent from home on
election days. This system was devised
primarily to accommodate travelling
men, employees of railroads, etc, but it
is believed it also will cover the cases
of absent militiamen. The supreme
court of Kansas, which has law SINH
lar to that of Wisconsin, just has ruled
that Kansas soldiers can vote by mail,
IN accordance with the terms of the
statute. This would seem to indicate
like application for the Wisconsin
law and If this point is upheld it will
enable Wisconsin soldiers TO vote by
mail this fall, a privilege that doubt
less will be highly appreciated and not
neglected by the militiamen.
Wisconsin is rather fortunate, it
would seem, in being one Of the very
few states which already have laws to
cover this unexpected problem. Several
other states are talking of calling spe-
clal sessions of their legislatures to
meet the emergency, and this doubtless
would be done in this state if necessary
to allow the soldiers to vote. If the
present law applies it will save trouble
and expense for the state, and will
again verify the wisdom of progressive
legislation adopted in this state against
the protests and criticisms of old-line
Reactlonaries, who ever are ready to
oppose changes and innovations and to
argue that "the old plan is good
enough. Oshkosh Northwestern.

The bluebird trills in the orchard tree;
And in and out, when the caves drip
rain,
The swallows are twittering ceaselessly.

Be the skies above or dark or fair
There is ever song that our hearts
may hear
There is ever a song somewhere, my

There is ever song somewhere.
There is ever a song somewhere, my

In the midnight black or the midday

The robin pipes when the sun is here,
And the cricket chirrups the whole

The buds may blow and the fruit may

And the autumn leaves drop crisp and
sere:
But whether the sun or the rain or
the snow,
There is ever song somewhere, my

suFFRAaIsTs TO MEET.

A meeting of the Royal Neighbors
will be held at Woodman IS Hall, Tow
ers Hill, Thursday afternoon, August 1.
At the invitation of Mrs. John Fink,
the Kenosha County Equal Suffrage
League will furnish the program at
which the speaker will be Mrs. Helen B.

The business meeting for members
will be held from 2 to p. m. after
which guests from all parts Of the

Ever since Mrs. Mcdowell spoke at
the Farmers Institute in Kenosha in

her to address women's meetings in the

her home has prevented her acceptance.
Somers women are especially fortunate
in obtaining her services at this time
as she has accepted the position of field

To control the present epidemic OF
infantile paralysis, according to state
ment issued by the United States Pub
lie Health Service today, the chain OF
infection between persons harborlng
germs of the disease and the well mem
bers of the community should be broken
Infantile paralysis is probably caused
by very minute organism found In the
nasal, mouth and bowel discharges OF
those who have the disease or who are
carriers of the germ without themselves
suffering from the ailment. All of the
steps in the spread of the infection are
not known but if this germ can be pre-
vented from passing from the infected
to the well person, the disease will
cease.
Infantile paralysis is not a disease of
recent origin. Sporadic or scattered
cases have occurred throughout the
country for many years but it is only
during the last decade that the infec-
tion has assumed epidemic proportions
in the United States. The present cpl
demic in New York City, on account
of it's magnitude and virulence, has
awakened the residents of many COM
munities to the danger of the importa-
ton of the disease into their own midst.
This danger is real, but if due precau-
tions are exercised it is believed that
the epidemic will suoside.
The actual control of the present cpl
demic must be left to the city, state
and federal health authorities. These
organizations will properly quarantine
and care for affected persons, prescribe
sanitary measures and limit as may be
necessary the travel of individuals in
order to protect neighboring districts
from the infection. Individuals and
communities, however, can do much to-
ward their own protection.
Poliomyelitis is probably spread di-
rectly or indirectly, through the medi-
UNI of infective secretions. Account
must therefore be taken by communi-
ties of every means by which such Sc
cretions are disseminated. Promiscuous
expectoration should be controlled. The
common drinking cup affords method
for the interchange of material of this
nature end should therefore be abolish
ed. Rigid cleanliness of glasses and
utensils at soda fountains, in saloons
and other public places should be en-
forced. Flies, reaches and other YER
min, by coming in contact with infec-
tive secretions, may possibly convey
them to our food and thus directly
bring about the development of disease.
Therefore eliminate insects. Street and
house dust bear definite relation to
the spread of many infections and it is
not unreasonable to presume that they
may be factor in the dissemination
of 'infantile paralysis. Maintain strict
cleanliness of streets, yards and alleys
in order to prevent the breeding Of in
sects and other vermin.
