A cAPPELLA CHOIR FORMED.
Aggregation of Kenosha's Singers Met
Yesterday Afternoon to Organize
Under Mr.. LaViolette.

A new musical club is in the course
of formation in Kenosha. 1t is to be
directed by w. Wesley LaViolette,
organist and director Of music in St.
Matthew's Church.
A preliminary meeting was held yes
terday afternoon in the residence of
Miss Harriet Lewis, 507 Exchange St.
"The purpose of the club" said
Mr.. LaViolette, when asked regarding
it, "will be to give performances IN
accompanied fundamentally. We plan
to give choral numbers ranging from
the old Palestrina school Of the
fifteenth century to those of our mod
ern composers. This will be an unusu-
al and rare opportunity for Kenosha
singers to enjoy such work. There
are but few cappella organizations
in the United States. -
Mr.. LaVioiette has established a
reputation for musical ability in his
work in Kenosha and other cities, and
has attracted some of Kenosha g recog-
nized voices of excellence to the aggre-
cation which is being formed.

OPPOSE EIGHT-HOUR DAY.
Manufacturers of the State Say EN-
ployers and Employees Should
Decide on Question.

Kenosha manufacturers were repre-
sented at hearing held at Madison
on Friday at which the passage of a
law for universal eight day in
the state was considered. The state
manufacturers protested against the
passage of the bills on the ground that
the employers and employees were bet
ter able to decide ON what the hours
of labor should be. The opposition to
the bill declared that it's passage would
tend to cripple many of the organiza-
tions of the state. The bill was also
opposed by men who represent the
agricultural interests of the state who
held that it would interfere to great
extent with the proper carrying ON of
these industries. Many people appear
ed in favor of the bill, the list includ-
ing representatives of practically all
of the labor organizations and of any
organizations among the women of the
state.

QUESTIONS NATIONS FAITH
Resolutions Declare That War If De-
clared Will Be Only to Safeguard the
Shipment of Munitions and Food
stuffs to Warning Nations.

One discordant note is heard in Ke-
nosha against standing behind the
president and the administration of the
government In the recent break with
Germany. 1t comes from the Socialists
and the member of the Kenosha coun-
ty central committee Of the Socialist
party in mass meeting assembled have
declared solemnly that they oppose the
action of the president of the United
States. What is more, they have sent
right down to Washington copy of
the protest passed by the organization.
It is closely aligned with similar pro-
tests sent out by other Socialist or
CARNATIONS. The members of the cen
trail committee declare that it repre-
SCENTS the sentiment of the members of
the party in Kenosha county.
The resolution declares that if war
is declared it will be declared by the
United States for the purpose Of safe
guarding shipments of munitions and
food stuffs to warning nations. 1t also
demands that complete embargo be
placed on munitions and food stuffs
being sent direct or indirect to any of
the belligerent nations. Here is the
copy of the resolutions which have
been forwarded not only to the presi-
dent but as well to representatives in
congress:
Whereas, We, the Socialist party of
Kenosha, state Of Wisconsin, in mass
meeting assembled, look with grave
concern upon the breaking of relation
with one of the GENITAL powers OF Eu-
rope thereby bringing the people Of
this country on the eve of entering this
horrible and destructive war. We
know that if war is declared by the
United States, it viii be declared only
to safeguard the shipments of munition
and foodstuf to warning nations.
Whereas, The government by al
lowing shipment Of the necessaries OF
life has prolonged the war and in
creased the suffering among our owl
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1917-02-15

people by the increasing cost of living.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
here in mass meeting assembled, protest
against the action of the president
breaking off relation with one of the
central powers.
Be it further resolved, that we urge
upon the president and congress to
place a complete embargo on munition,
food and all contraband Of war, ship
ped direct or indirect to any of the
belligerent nations.
Keep American citizens off belliger-
ent ships. Withdraw protection to
American citizens travelling on bellig-
erent ships and keeping American
ships out Of the danger zone.
Signed, William Winberg, secretary.

should remembre that there are al
most as many different natures as
there are individuals, and each has
his own peculiar mannerisms and
modes of expression.
A smile is simply the working Of
certain set of facial muscles,
and is just as easy to call up as is
frown. Courtesy and kindlineSs

but who has been making his home
in Louisville and Danville for the
last ten or twelve years, has re-
turned to this city TO make his home
and is now employed by Cato Fisher

the reputation of being the best
haircutter in the city and says he
has improved with age and will be
glad TO have his old customers
make him a call.

WE HAVE A FEW

The super sensitive man or wo-
man is a puzzling proposition for a
community to handle.
The person of acute sensibility
suffers Sights where none are in
tended. He is forever imagining
that his friends are not as cordial
as they should be.
The sensitive man wears his feel
ings on his sleeve. as it were, and
they are forever being ruflled by
the passer-by.
If this extreme sensitiveness in
our neighbor were a fault in the
stricteSt sense of the word we would
know how to deal with him. But il
is not such a fault. 1t is purely
the result of self consciousness and
is frequently found in persons OF
m-hearted disposition. They
have cordial liking for then
friends and are perhaps of an inn
pulsive, ardent temperament. Then
feelings find vent in an effusiveness
that rarely meets with the response
which they think it merits, and dis,
appointment is the result.
The great trouble with the sen,
sitive man is that he has not YET
realized that all men are not bull
