any other sign of government! What
do you think would happen New
York, for instance; or Chicago. Sup
pose every policeman should be re-
moved from Red Hook or Corcoran's
Roost and it should become known
that there were no more police courts
and no police department? You
would not dare to promenade around
those regions at night would you?
Nor in the day time, either.
But you could promenade around
Petrograd or Moscow at any hour of
the day or night, not policeman in
sight or within call, and be in per-
fact safety.
The people went about their bust
ness with perfect order and cOmpos-
use. Without any compulsion they re-
spected one anothcr's rights. With
out police supervision they supervised
themselves.
On Sunday, July /, saw in Petro-
grad 100000 men and women ''dem-
onstrating" in the streets which
means that they marched with bands
and banners and held meetings and
heard oratory.
Reactionaries had predicted thar
when all these low. common people
should be turned loose. riot, raving
and ruin would be inevitable. There
wasn't enough disturbance any
where to disturb your grandmothers
nap. The low. common people prov
cd to be exceedingly intelligent, well
behaved, quiet and orderly, and their
meetings produced oratory of which
any nation might be proud. You will
not find such speakers in the Ameri-
can congress nor the British parlia'
ment.
No, the world need not~fear that
these people do not know what to do
with their liberty. They know well
enough. The only question is wheth
err they are to have any liberty.
And that depends in large meas
ure upon how soon the United States
can get ready with it's mighticst wal

Rome, Aug. 27.-The battle between
the Italians and the Austrians still
RACES, with the Austrians stubbornly
retreating at many points, including
the lower Carso. Numerous messages
from the front received by that dis
trict.
When asked today for an expression
of opinion as to the results thus FAR
achieved in the battle, Lieutenant Cen
eral Count Cadorna, communicating
chief of the Italian forces, smilingly
replied:
"We are doing nicely, thank you.
The official communication OF the
result of the battle shows that the
decentralization of the Austrian troops
is due partly to the extraordinary
aerial and artillery work of the ltal-
ians, which has destroyed not only the
lines of communication, but has re-
suited in the burning of all the main
food and supply stations OF the Aus
trfians who for the last week nave
been starving at many points between
Tolmino and the sea. This also ac-
counts for the unusual number or prls-
oners and wounded.
Austrian Losses 100000.
Total losses of the Austrians from
all causes are reckoned at nearly 1907

The Mark of Cain

"And Cain Killed Abel" It was
the first murder in sacred or profane
history and on account of its priority
the Mark of CAIN the mark Of MUIR
dsrer has been placed upon the brow
of other men and women who take
human life. Ever since that first re-
corded murder there have been other
murders. Some of them have been
carefully premeditated, others have
been carelessly permitted. We are not
so much concerned with the carefully
premeditated murder. Men who com
NIT such crimes promptly are taken IN
hand by society and they are either
hanged at gibbet or put into prison
where the danger of them as an enemy
to society is removed. That other class
who carelessly permit MURDERS is
the class that is the greatest danger to
the human family today.
The man who premeditates murder
usually takes but one life. The man
ana woman who carelessly permit
murder are often responsible for hum
dreds of deaths.
1t is easy to put the mark Of Cain
upon the brow of the man who kills
his fellow man by premeditated murder
but society is always excusing the man
or woman who carelessly permits the
murder Of his or her neighbor. You
may kill man or woman by shooting
through the head with revolver, you
may stab him to death with a knife,
you may strangle him with a rope and
all are forms Of murder. You may
carelessly permit child to become in
fected with contagious disease and that
carelessness is just as surely the de-
mand for the burning Of the mark Of
Cain in to the forehead. True, it may
not be premditated murder, but it is
taking human life and the man or wo-
man who takes human life in this man
ner can not excuse him or herself.
1t is harsh language but it takes
harsh language to break through the
bounds of long standing conventional
ties. A woman thinks that it is vio-
lation of the neighborhood honor for
her to inform the health department
that a neighbor has a child suffering
from diptheria or scarlet fever, another
one thinks that it may interfere with
a little dollars and cents business if
she tells the health department that
quarantipes are being violated and a.
doctor thinks that it may be breach
of professional courtesy for him to
criticise fellow member of the pro-
fession who has failed utterly to do
his duty in protecting his own patients
and protecting the lives Of others.
We say a plague upon all of their
houses. 1t is this kind of bad citizens
who are responsible for conditions
which are existing in Kenosha today,
They will continue to be responsible for

PENALTY FOR REFUSAL
Hundred and Sixty Dealers of Food Pro-
ducts Ordered to Send in Reports and
Reports May Be Cleared Through
Retailers Association.

Kenosha merchants must make an
early inventory this year as every mer-
chant in the city who sells food stuffs
must make report to the Department
of Agriculture of the United States
Government showing just what he has
on hand at the end of the year. The
first of the demands for reports on
food stuffs were received by Kenosha
merchants today and it is expected
that within day or so the Kenosha
Retailer IS Association will receive q
request that it act as central clear
ing bureau for these reports. Uncle
Sam is taking an inventory of all Of
the food stocks in the country not held
in the family larders.
The survey will touch every dealer
in food and food materials, food man
ufacturers and holders of substantial
quantities Of food in the country, ex-
cept the family, requiring them to re-
port stocks which they have on hand
Dec. 81, 1917. A separate schedule
will also be sent to representative
number of specially selected homes
throughout the country and upon these
returns an estimate will be made for
all homes.
The new survey follows q prelimi-
nary inventory for limited number
of food items made Aug. 81, the re-
suit of which has been received.
Failure to make prompt and cor
rect replies is punishable by act Of
congress by fine not exceeding ST.
600 or imprisonment not over one year,
or both, as punishment for any individ-
ual or concern. 49,
In making the surrey of supplies,
the government is trying to discover
what is held in the country with the
idea Of informing producers, dealers,
and consumers of the quantity of the
important food materials on hand so
that plan can be mode for conserving
and distributing foods as well as for
producing those needed next season.
Blanks are to be furnished cover
ing eight-six items for over 100 diff
ferent foods. They are divided into
ten general groups. Grains and seeds,
grain food products, meat and meat
products, fish, animal and vegetable
fats, dairy and related products, can
ned goods, fresh fruits and vegetables,
dried fruits nuts and peanuts, sugar,
starches and many others.
Answers are to show the quantity
of each item on hand and an estimate

ties that were on hand Dec. 81, 1916.
Returns are to show the nature, or
ganization and size of the business Of
each dealer and must be signed by
the owner or an authorized official
The bureau Of markets is asking
each individual and concern not re-
eeiving a schedule by JAN to write
for copy to the bureau of markets,
Department of Agriculture, at Wash
ington, or to any of the many agen-
cies of the bureau throughout tho
country.
The report must be made by about
one hundred and sixty concerns in Ke-
nosha.
Secretary H. G. Maddox, of the Ke-
nosha Retailers association, who has
been appointed by the government to
take charge of the survey in Kenosha,
says that he can see no reason why
the survey will not include every far
mer of the county who has more than
$3.50 worth of grain, exclusive Of his
personal needs for the year. The sur
vey, however, is not meant to include
live stock and for that reason many
farmers will be exempted. It is ex-
pected that If this is the idea of the
officials that each farmer of Kenosha
county will be mailed directly a report
which he will be expected to fill and
return at once to the Washington bu-
reau. There will be no effort on the
part of the local committee to check ID
on the farmers Of the county as they
will confine their efforts to making a
complete report from the merchants Of
Kenosha.

such conditions until people let them
know that they are branded with the
mark Of Cain-that the blood of little
children is upon their souls and that
they must answer for that blood some
time.
Men and women who value the dol
lars Of business, professional courtesy
or neighborhood above the lives of lit
tie children might just as well be put
in the category where they belong.
there may be a few who may plead
ignorance, and if there be guch it is
time that they be educated Up to the
demands of modern civilization. These
people in their ignorance are menace
and they must be dealt with either by
being educated into right ways or
driven out with others who wear the
mark Of Cain.
Not all the murder cases in Kenosha
are tired in the Circuit Court. A lot
of people who are carelessly mlrderers
Of the children of others are walking
the streets Of the city respected and
revered. 1t is time to put an end TO
tbs kind of respect and reverence.
We value too greatly the lives Of the
children of the city to give them up
70 rconventionalties. It is time for
men and women to ket in touch with
the health department. To tell the ofic-
ials Of that department when quaran-
tines are violated, to advise the right
officials our children are suffering with
suspicious diseases The telling may
disrust entire neighborhoods. Not an
other man or woman in the block may
be willing to speak to you for the rest
of the year, but better this that have
the mark Of Cain upon your forehead.
This is. plain talk and it is directed
not to your neighbors, but to you, not
to the city health officials, but to any
ane and every one who by their ig-
norance or by their criminality are plac-
