plants of that fact. The scene at the
close of the sixty fourth congress points
to the reason. The President, by and
large, is far more trustworthy repre-
sentative of the nation than congress
is, partly because the latter is always
more or less at the mercy of faetious
minorifies and petty politicians work
ing for selfish ends.
From the beginning of the subma-
rine controversy President Wilson
faithfully represented the nation. It
said so last November 1t is saying so
now The nation is behind him, and
the means he needs to carry out its
purpose win be given to him in spite
of temporary, conceited obstruction.
One Of those means, as he promptly
pointed out, is cloture in the senate

President and Congress.

The handful of senators who wreck

close of the sixty-fourth congress, with

No question of keeping the country
out Of war was before them. Anybody

whether his tendencies were pacific or
militant, could then see that whether
che country got into war depended up
on events and forces far beyond the

before them was whether the nation,

Kenosha Man Dies
From His Injuries
Harry Grow, Formerly Employed Here,
Dies at st. Anne's Hospital in
Chicago on Sunday Night.

Harry Grow, formerly employed by
the Westinghouse company in Kenosha
and a former resident at the BrassVille
Hotel, died at st. Anne s Hospital in
Chicago on Sunday night as a result
Of injuries Last Friday night when
he attempted to flip train in Chicago
he went under the trucks and had one
of his legs cut off. Crow had left here
on Wednesday to go to his home at
Confluence, Pa Grow told his physi-
clans in Chicago that he had been as
saulted in Kenosha two weeks ago and
badly injured, but there is no report
at the police office of such an assault
Archie Grow, a well known Kenosha
man, was assaulted and it is thought
possible that this assault was confused
with the one reported by the man in
Chicago. Grow had been in Kenosha
for less than two months and nothing
in regard to his family was known
here. The mother Of the unfortunate
man claimed the body and took it east
for burial

KAISER STYLE ARBITER.
German Government Has Issued Edict
as to Wardrobes Of its Civilian
Subjects Hereafter

No more ruffles and folderols for the
women Of Germany. Kaiser Wilhelm
will see to that. He has issued an edict
OF what he thinks proper for them to
wear hereafter, and woe to the daring
spirit who disregards it. AS to that he
has laid down the law for the men as
to their wardrobes quite as exactingly
as for their sisters. He has not stopped
at their outer garments but has issued
his commands as to what underwear
they may properly have.
This, says the German government, is
enough for the male resident of the
country to have in his clothes closet
and on his person:
One week day and one Sunday suit,
enc overcoat or cape, two work blouses
and ditto pants, two vests, two profess
sional shirts, one pair of winter gloves,
six handkerchiefs, three outer shirts,
three undershirts, two nightshirts,
three pairs of underdrawers, four pairs
of socks.
One wonders when reading the item
of six handkerchiefs if one never has
influenza in Germany.
German women from now on NAV
have:
Two week day dresses, one Sunday
dress, one dress skirt, two blouses or
jackets, one overcoat or cloak, one
shawl one wrapper, three aprons, one
pair of winter gloves, six handker-
chiefs, four day skirts, three night
gowns, four pairs of drawers or com
bination undergarments, three petit
coats, and four pairs of stockings.
In addition, the official wardrobe for
both sexes includes three pairs of shoes
or boots, one pair Of house shoes or
slippers, three pillow slips, two bed
sheets, two bed covers, one blanket.
three hand towels, two kitchen or dish
towels, three dust rags or cleaning
cloths.
Not only has the kaiser decided what
may be worn as to costumes by his sub
jects, but he has gone so far as to lay
down the law as to how the pantaloons
OF the gentlemen of the empire must
be made, thus, to some extent, assum-
inc the role Of arbiter of fashion. No
longer, according to this latest edict
may trousers be made with cuff bot
toms. AS our Anglo-maniacs used to
turn up their trousers when it rained
In London, will our Teuto-maniacs cut
the cuffs off theirs now that RarJin hoe
said "Abas!' to them?

Mails Are Watched
For Disloyalty
Local Postmaster Receives Order TO
Keep on the Lookout for Any
thing Which VIII Catch Spies.

Orders have been received at the
Kenosha post office which have been i'm
parted to the employees by Postmaster
James German, instrueting the attaches
of the post office to scan all packages
and letters received here carefully to
determine whether they are destined
for spies working in this city
or vicinity.
The move is part of the govern
ment plan to prevent espionage in this
city and along the North Shore.
Especial effort is being taken by the
government in this vicinity through
the present of the naval station and
the Fort Sheridan army post.
Through the order at least thirty
employees, including clerks, city and
rural carriers have been designated to
work in this city to prevent espionage,
in connection with the efforts of other
agents which are at work to prevent
the presence of spies in this territory.
1t is not known that any local men
are suspected or that there are any
transients under suspicion here. All
forms of communication to some citi-
zens will, however, be well scanned.
It is certain that the government has
learned of the presence of all aliens
here that might be friendly to any ma
ton which might later be at war with
the United States and that these men
will be under surveillance.
Considerable aid also is being given
these government forces by individuals
who have reported persons suspected OF
disloyal acts. The department of jus
tice counts on much more help in the
future from such sources in response to
hundreds of letters sent out recently
appealing for cooperation. All com
munications are welcomed and treated
confdentially.
