For the first time in the history OF
the city of Kenosha a demand was
made on Monday night for the resigna-
tion of an alderman because his loyalty
to the nation had been called into ques-
tion when Alderman Charles Boylan Of
the fifth ward called upon the council
to request the resignation of Alderman
George Fischer, Jr., of the sixth ward.
Declaring that Fischer had three times
been called before the federal officials
for diBloyalty Boylan declared that he
did not want to sit with the council
with Fischer as a member.
Fischer later pleaded for a chance to
show that he had not been disloval and
declared that he was to have a hearing
before tie federal officials and after
considerable debate the council decided
to leave the matter open. Alderman
Boylan, his patriotism thoroughly
aroused, refused to withdraw his mo-
tion to demand the resignation but
Alderman Sullivan who had seconded
the motion, after speech in which he
declared that he had no sympathy for
disloyalty, declared that he would be
willing to give Fischer until the next
meeting to declare and prove his 10y
atty. Alderman Bounsall declared that
he would also be willing to give Fisch
er this chance, "But, :" he shouted, eff
you are found disloyal by the govern
nent officials we shall expect your
resignation and not you at the next
meeting of the council -
1t was one of the most tragic events
in the history of the official life Of Ke-
nosha. Fischer trembled as he arose
to answer the charges of dislovalty
which had been brought against him.
II admit that I may have talked too
much" he said, and his voice was
scarcely strong enough to be heard by
the members of the council. He pro-
tested that he had been called but twice
before the federal officials and that on
both times he was able to offer an ex-
cuse. He asserted that he had never
sought to discourage recruiting for the |
United States Army He explained at |
length his being called before the post |
master on Monday morning. He as
serted that he had gone to the city |
hall to see what I. V Yingst had been
arrested for and that just as soon as
he found that he had been taken on
the order of federal agents that he left |
the building. Fischer asked that he be |
given chance to show that the charges
against him We're not founded ON fact. |
In bringing up the matter, Alderman |
Boylan declared. sfIt is not fair for
the tax payers Of the city of Kenosha,
men and women who are loyal TO the |
government, to have man of ques-
toned loyalty sitting as member of |
this council. IF Alderman Fischer had |

Poor in Every Ward
Are Helped by City
Report of Jacob saftig, City Almoner,
Shows That Real Charity Has Been
Exemplified by Kenosha Board.

6A61up1Il1SO ny xASuOSud bOaTQ.
Two hundred and thirty-tWo people,
including LA children under fourteen
years of age and above that age, and
representing every ward in the, city,
have received help from the city board
of charities within the last three
months according to the report of Jacob
Saftig, poor-master for Kenosha and
vicinity. The statistics regarding the
work of the department are revealing
and indicate that it is performing its
duty with real efficiency and real char
ity.
The benefsctions Indicated above in
clude gifts of coal, wood, shoes, clio
thing, groceries, meats, house-rent, and
miscellaneous necessities, varying with
the emergencies of particular families.
The people helped in most instances
were the victims of assertions, imprison-
ments, sickness, or insanity. Five such
families have been supported entirely
by the city and others have received
large donations of fuel, food, and clo-
thing, absolutely required to sustain life.
In addition to this two burials have
been made, three patients have been
treated at the Kenosha hospital, and
two quarantine cases have been handled
az the city's expense. The number of
people involved in these charities indi-
Gates wide work on the part of the local
board and also suggests that wartime
difficulties and disasters may have in
creased the worthy poor in the city of
Kenosha.
Regarding the city poor-farm Mr.. SAT-
tig reports that the institution is now
caring for 16 inmates. Within the past
three months three applicants have been
admitted and one discharged. All of
these people are worthy unfortunates
and are in every way deserving of the
aid thus proffered them by the city of
Kerosha through it's efficient board of
charities Almoner Saftig is to be con-
mended not only upon the breadth of
his work but also upon the thorough
ness Of his report.

tion Of the sacrifice made by the Sam
mics. They are giving their lives, their
loves, their hopes of Immortality, to-
protect your privileges and liberties,
and it is just gratitude that you should
give an hour day or a dollar a week
to guarantee their safety under fire.
Shakespeare may have been right about
the 'twinter wind and man 5 in
gratitude but it is the patriotic
duty of citizens of kenosha and the
United States to see to it that they
shall never feel the sting of that
bitter epigram.

A ten dollar license on jitneys may
help some, but it will not help enough.
The jitney should be forced to pay a
license in keeping with its carrying
capacity and the minimum license
should be twenty-five dollars. Make
the jitney pay the same license as is
exacted from any other common car
rier. The greatest need is to show the
jitney man that he owes a continued
service to the public along certain
lines. The license may make Il posi-
BILE for the city to do this. IF it does
not it is going to be failure.

Alderman Sullivan is treading on
dangerous ground when he asked the
city attorney to tell how an alderman
could be impeached. IF the people ever
find out the easy road to impeachment it
is pretty certain that a start will be
made along these lines. We quite agree
with several Of the aldermen that a
man in public office should be wiling
to abide by the laws. IF he is nos
willing to abide by laws he has sworn
to maintain he should not be asked to
resign but kicked out.

ACCIDENT AT ICE HOUSE.
Charles Reiter Painfully Injured By
Falling from Freight Car at
Twin lake on Monday.


Charles Reiter, brother of Mrs. Ben
Leutritz, of Julius street, fell from a
box car, which he with other workmen
was switching at the ice house tracks
at Twin Lakes on Monday morning and
was so seriously injured that he was
brought to the Kenosha Hospital on
Monday evening. Reiter was at the
brake wheel of the box car and when
this broke he fer backwards off the
car and is said to be suffering rather
severely from internal injuries. His
condition this morning was reported as
much better and as no bones are broken
it is thought that complete shakeup
is the most serious result Of the dan
gerous accident.

Don't blame it on the dog. The
average dog would be willing to go
through his entire existence without
wearing a muzzle. The owner Of the
dog is the problem. If he wants to
continue to be dog owner the council
should be able to find some way to
make him as well dog muzzle owner.
