MORE ALIENS SEEK PAPERS.
Thirty More Of the Foreign Born of the
City Getting Under the Flag by
Declaring Their Allegiance.

The rush for first papers on the part
of aliens in Kenosha. continues and the
weekly grist sent by Clerk of the Cir
cult Court DeDeimar to Washington to-
day was over thirty papers. A large
majority of the new citizens have re-
nounced their allegiance to Austria and
Germany and there are other papers be-
ing issued every day. 1t is certain that
the number Of papers issued in this
month will set a new record for first
papers since the new naturalization
laws went into effect. Miss Emile So
phia Mikkelsen has the honor of being
the fourth Kenosha county woman to
seek citizenship. She appeared at the
Court House on Tuesday afternoon and
renowned her allegiance to the king Of
Denmark and certified to her intention
to become citizen of the United
States. She has been resident of this
country since 1909 Strenuous efforts
are being made by the organizations
among the foreign born to have all
their members at this time declare their
intention to become citizens and these
efforts are bringing notable results.

NO CHANGE IN THE LAW.
Senator Everett Sends Communication
Showing His Stand on the In
heritance Tax Collection.

In answer to the demands of Racine
and Kenosha counties for changes in
the inheritance tax laws which would
give the counties of the state an equal
division of this tax, Senator Charles
H. Everett has sent a formal communi-
cation to the county board in session
in Racine. It was shown by Senator
Everett that, if Racine county is taxed
certain amount for inheritance tax
and half the amount had to be raised
through population tax, that county s
proportion Of that tax would be great
er than it is today 1t was further
pointed out by the supervisors that a
large county, like Milwaukee, would
be the only county benefited by such
a change. Senator Everett reported
that if the taxpayers fully understood
the matter, they would be opposed to
the amendment proiding for fifty
per cent allowance, adding that the
study Of the situation made by the
tax commission shows that the pas
sage Of the amendment would result
in a financial loss to Racine county.
He advised the board that it would be
impossible to have the amendment
passed at the present session Of the
legislature.

Railroad Com'r. Alexander
Holds That This Is the
Surest Way to Enforce
the State Regulations.
COME HERE FOR HEARING

City Attorney John G. Slater, repre-
senting the city Of Kenosha, and At
torney R. P. Cavanagh, representing
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany, held conference with the rail
road commission of Wisconsin on
Tuesday afternoon relative to matters
from Kenosha now pending before the
commission. Commissioner Alexander,
who represented the commission, an
nounced that the commission would
come to Kenosha to hear the argument
in regard to the conduits on Pomeroy
street some time before March 18th
and the attorneys representing com
pany will be instructed to be present
at that time. The hearing will take
up the question of both telephone and
electric light conduits.
The city attorney also took up with
the commissioner the routing of jitneys
in Kenosha and he was informed by
Mr.. Alexander that the commission in
fixing routes had acted on the appli-
cation of the jitney drivers and that
no opposition had been shown to the
routes outlined in this application. He
stated further that an engineer of the
commission had looked over the pro-
posed route in Kenosha before the
final order Of the commission had been
handed down and that it had appeared
to be satisfactory Commissioner Alex
ander declared that the way to secure
the regulation of the iitney industry
was to arrest all violators of the iitney
law. He held that Kenosha had start
ed this form of regulation and insisted
that it was expected that prosecutions
which had been started here would
bring desired results.
The city attorney also took up with
the commission an informal considera-
ton of the plans for the opening of
Balm avenue crossing of the North
Western Railway. Commissioner Alex
ander stated that such matters had
been taken up by the commission in
other cities and that it would be taken
up if a formal application was made
by the city of Kenosha or any prop
erty owners effected by the opening of
the crossing. It is possible that a
petition will be fled so that this mat
ter can be heard at the same time the
conduit question is taken up.

Opening Night Crowd--Public We'd
ding Set for Thursday Night.

The Retailers Association Home /
Exposition and Style Show opened last |
night at the Coliseum under the most t
suspicious circumstances and there
was not the slightest hitch in the !
plans to mar the opening.
Everything was in complete readi- !
ness early in the afternoon and it was
a nervous lot of exhibitors until the
doors were thrown open at seven
o 'clock. From seven O'Clock on the
crowds kept coming in and the hall
was crowded in short time.
The Style Show, which is one of the
main features Of the event, took place
at scheduled time and the gorgeous
display of wearing apparel from the
local stores were, in themselves,
sight to behold. The Misses Dorothy
Page, Harriet Jacobs. Dorothy Bruce
and Ruth Sturdivant, who are the
models at the Style Show, certainly
display the gowns from the local deal
er's store to wonderful advantage and
acquitted themselves with remarkable
grace and carriage. J. r. MoMiller,
who displayed the gents apparel, GER
tainly offered the most convincing ar
gument in favor of his line that oua
could offer; that of changing coats

The Chinese Garden or Kong jos
which was open for the benefit OF
those who care to indulge in dishes Of
the orient, was opened last night and
although the manager had goodly
supply of foodstuffs on hand, the sup
ply proved inadequate to satisfy the
patrons, consequently they ran short,
but tonight everything has been ar
ranged to serve as many as might come,
The entire Coliseum was Teplete with
exhibits and displays of the differenb
local merchants proving that anything
worth while can be had from local
merchants and the diversity of lines is,
one of the dominent features.
Tonight will be Valentine Night at
the Exposition and huge valentine
box will be placed in the hall wherein
anyone may deposit a missive address
ed to some one in the hall and at
designated hour, the valentines will be
distributed by name at the "Cross'
Roads Store" which is propitiously,
located at TIE far end of the hall
alongside of the Style Show stage.
There is no charge of mailing or re-
ceiving valentines tonight and it is
reckoned that the "postmaster" will
have his hands full tonight handling
the mail at the Exposition.
The FECross Roads Store" was by
far the most popular spot in the hall
last night and the stock was sad
sight at an early hour as those who
came last night, took home articles
which were valued at two or three
times the price of admission, but mas
much as all the articles in the "store"
were all donated by the local mer-
chants and exhibitors, it was a huge
success as an attraction. Each and
every person entering the hall any
night of the Exposition is entitled to
free package at the "Cross Roads
Store" and it may become necessary
to replenish the stock if the crowds
keep coming as last night s crowd IN
dicated that they will.

Our Country

The fundamental thing to hold sacred from
now on is that the United States is at war with
Germany. The Kaiser's troops are our enemies
No matter what your sympathies may have
been before the war, they must be consecrated to
Our Country, Our Flag, Our President, now.
There can be no half-hearted hyphenated, semi
patriotism. A man is either an American or an
alien. ....
We are at war. Our president and our Con-
gress has declared that state of war exists.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-04-07

This statement of the British general ought to
be in our minds constantly in the crisis that con-
fronts US. We need not blink the fact that war is
stern business. 1t will test the heart and strength
of America and there will be hours that are black
and foreboding.
Consequently we ought to enter the campaign
resolved to begin sacrificing and denying at the
very outset.
War draws on every resource of a country. It
takes not only men to shoulder guns but also re-
sources to finance, clothe, feed and equip men.
The patriotic celebration in Richmond will
come at a time when the first steps toward mo-
bilzing the fighters of the United States proba-
bly, will have been taken We will be in the
midst of gigantic preparations.
Governor Goodrichs call to the farmers of
Indiana to act with united front in producing the
utmost our soil will yield is only one of the big
preparedness steps that are under way. To our
mind it is one of the most essential.
The Allies are hampered because of a food
shortage. Germany's submarine campaign is
directed against shipping that will carry food
stuffs for non-combatants and soldiers. America
unquestionably will be relied on to help furnish
supplies. Our great Middle West must furnish
the foodstuffs for the greater part of the nation
Because of the tremendously important need
of fOodstuffs, the farmers of Wayne county will
be interested in the patriotic meeting that is to
be held here. In this issue city and country
are one.
Their interests are identical, for Germany's
victory, with the United States taking the side
of the allies, would mean defeat of the very prin.
cipes of government upon which our republic
rests For the safety and future welfare of the
United States, the war must have only one out
come now-victory for the Allies.
The patriotic celebration here will emphasize
the fundamental issues at stake so far as the
United States are concerned. They are democrat
cy autocracy, the rule Of the people the rule
of house.
President Wilson plainly said in his message
that our entrance into the war was not against
the Germans as people but against the house
which ruled them, which plunged them into this
war, which gave them no right to choose for
or against war
Wayne county during the Civil war and the
SpansE-American war gave ample proof Of her
loyalty to the country. No county in Indiana pro-
duced a greater man during the Civil war than
Oliver P Morton. His spirit is with us still. The
patriotic celebration in a few days will give ample
proof of the loyalty that is in our hearts and Of
the devotion we have for Old Glory.
