ANY WAYS TWO
ANSWERED "HEREr
James Ward and Matt Eppers OF
Brighton Fight Storm AL Day to
Fulfill Orders of the Court.

James Ward and Matt Eppers, prom
inent men of the town of Brighton,
have a clean record when it comes to
jury service. They established it this
morning when they walked into the
Municipal Court and asked that they
be allowed to answer Here" to the
roll call of jurors in the court. Re
CARELESS of the fact that the jury had
been excused on Monday morning until
early in February the records have
been properly amended to show that
these two men are not subject to any
call for contempt of court.
Eppers and Ward believe in doing
what the court tells them to do. The
court told them to report on Monday
morning at ten o'clock to serve as
jurors and they left their homes in the
town of Brighton at six o'clock Mon
day morning in an effort to make
good. When the jurors names were
called in the courtroom they were
shoveling away somewhere between
their --omes and Kansasville. After
five hours work with the shovels they
reached Kansasville and planned to
take a train for Racine. 1t was late
for the train, but the train was later
than Eppers and Ward and they waited
at Kansasville for seven hours Monday
afternoon to catch the train which
should have whirled by Kansasville the
day before. They finally got into Ra-
cine and reached Kenosha just after
eleven o clock last night.
Our heart was in the right place"
declared Ward as he faced the court
and Judge Tully this morning. "Give
them honorable mention in the
minuteeo was the comment of Judge
Tully as he excused the two jurors un-
til February. AS a result of their fight
against the storm they will be able to
collect some ten cents mile for mile
age and both men admit that they are
entitled to it. The mileage will just
about pay for the shovels used in
digging their way into Kenosha.

Colonel Of American Regiment Declares
That Sammies Need Tobacco

Tobacco, he replied promptly,

come amiss; but the current weeklies

soldiers in France is via the Kenosha

every 1.-TWO bits sends a package of
forty cents worth of first class tobacco

FUSS OVER cleaning WALKS
Snow Plows to Be Continued in Service
And Old Rule Against People Who
Fail to Clean Walks Will BE Invok-
ed-City sealer on the Carpet,

The City Council got miserable
start for the new year at the meeting
on Monday evening when it spent some
four hours attending to business which
might have been taken care of in fif-
teen minutes. The proverbial chip
seemed to be on the shoulders OF
several of the aldermen and there was
no shortage of people to knock it off
and as result the evening was consi-
derably in the nature Of a cock-hgAt
with lots of Tapping of wings without
any one being seriously injured. The
ban was lifted on the Naughty word =
and there being no ladies present the
language of several of the aldermen
during the debate was, noted more for
the vigor of the expression than the
elegance of its diction.
An hour was put in discussing the re-
moval of snow from side walks and an
other hour on quizzing the City Sealer
At the conclusion of the first discussion
it was decided to go ahead with the
work of the snow plows and at the
same time to serve notice on the people
that if they. did not do some supplement
tary cleaning of side walks that the
work would be done by the city men
and charged to property on the tax roll.
The properly owners are to be given
twenty four hours after the snow stops
falling to get the side walks cleaned.
Mayer Defends His Administration.
City Sealer Felix G. Mayer was cal
led before the council to tell the alder
men just what he was doing to earn a
salary of $1,000 a year. The Sealer de-
Tended his administration with consi-
derab1e vigor but admitted that his
work had resulted in but two prosecu-
tions during the year 1917. He de-
clared that he had made lot of tests
and had sealed a lot of scales but that
he had found no reason to start other
prosecutions. Alderman Bounsall ap-
peared as the principal critic of the
official and he asserted that not enough
work was being given to sales made by
peddlers in the city. Mayer declared
that he was keeping close watch of
the peddlers and that they were abiding
by the law. As result of consider
able argument the aldermen directed
the sealer to send a report to the
council every three months and to
make a more strenuous effort to show
results from his Office on the dockets

Abraham Lincoln said that ssThe man
who stands by and says nothing when
the peril Of his government 10 discussed
cannot be misunderstood. If not hind
cred, he is sure to help the enemy;
much more if ne talks ambiguously-
talks for his country with butts and
fifs' and ands. -
When President Lincoln lived, we
did not have Theodore Roosevelt Of
sufficient age to invent the term
pussyfooting. But if Lincoln had
known the word, he would have ap-
piled it to these offers" and "and-
ers who hem and hedge when it comes
to taking definite stand on patriotic
question in war times.
An easy thing it is to remain silent
or to avoid committing oneself definite
ly when one hears an inflated critic
berating the government or justifying
acts and positions of the enemy. 1t is
sometimes hard to take a position
against him--hard, because one is
afraid of making an enemy. And no
one likes enemies.
But as President Lincoln intimated,
that man who keeps silent when others
criticize his country is secretly and
alphabetically a1igning himself with
the enemy. He is not the strong citi-
zen that his country needs. He is
neither hot nor cold and deserves to
be spewed out Of the country like the
lukewarm Christians Of Laodicea.--

STORM HINDERS THE work
County Registrars Find it Hard to Get
to City and Local Boards Temper
Wind to Shorn Lamb-Many Added
to Delinquent Lists Today.

TT. Sheridan is opening its gates to
receive deserters from the army who
have failed to register and report
properly to the boards of Kenosha
county and it was expected that Sheriff
Hermann would make his first trip to
the fort with a deserter today Lists
of men delinquent in answering the ques-
tionnaires have been piling up for days
and the boards are now urging that
the decks be cleared for action by these
men being picked up and sent down for
the government to handle. The fate
of the slackers at TT. Sheridan these
days is not any too happy one. They
are being forced to clean away the
great drifts of snow and lot of them
are thinking of DESERVING from the de-
serter's camp in order to get into the
more satisfactory service of the army.
While the sheriff and the police Of
ficers have located and brought in
scores of men who failed to send in
their replies to the questionnaires
there are still hundreds of them miss
ing and they must be rounded up at
once. The last batch of questionnaires
will be sent out from the offices of the
two local boards on Wednesday morn
ing and then the members of the goard
will begin to give their attention to
disposing Of the cases Of men who failed
to appear All men who can be located
will be placed in Glass to start with.
The local board for the city of Ke-
nosha today sent out questionnaires
Numbered from 4151 to 1875 inclusive
and the list from the county board was
from 936 to 981. The county board is
showing some appreciation of the storm
conditions and some of the men just a
little late are being shown a little
consideration. However, the storm. can
not be used as method for escaping
making the proper returns.
The board turned over to the
sheriff the following list of men who
are classed as delinquent:
Mike Goldner, Silver Lake.
Stanley Dusboski, Trevor.
Jos. Dauksus, Kenosha, R. F. D. 1.
A. Kucrynski, Kenosha. r. f. D. 4.
Albert L. Larsen, S29 Charles st.

The following list was turned over
