 l. To print the news.
 g. To discuss matters of public interest and con cern in their editorial columns
 Those who make The Empire have endeavored to do both according the best of their abilities Ihey expect to continuef doing both
 It might be well to add however, that such advice as The Empire given and the arguments in support thereof have been in the editorial columns of the paper No one connected with The Empire has sought to bring pressure any member of the Legislature or been busy abut the Hobbies of the temporary capitol or hotels or behind closed doors anywhere. What The Empire has say is said in as plain Ian guage knows how where all of its readers may it and discuss it.

In trying to excuse Senator Dan Sutherland for putting in claim for "traveng expenses incurred" for making trip from Poorman to Juneau that was not made, his political friends say Delegate Suzer received two salaries for time in 1917 when he was both a member of the Territorial Legislature and a member of Congress, and that he paid mileage by the Territory and the Federal Government. Dele gate SuZer held both offices for which he drew pay and he made the trip from Juneau to his home for which he paid mileage a Senator and the Government paid mileage from his home to Wash fngton On the other hand MT.

When a man is born in Ireland, sure

 the men that are so wise, Gather round and sprinkle wisdom
 in the little fellows eyes; And they give him power to do a
 thing no other race can do, Tor his eyes can tell false friend

 the wits all leave their graves, And they gather round his cradle
 and become his willing slaves; And they whisper humor to him, and
 they let it soak in deep, Till the lucky little darling has to
 chuckle in his sleep. When man is born in Ireland, sure
 the stars gaze through his soul And they'll let him die a-bornin' if
 it isn't clean and whole; And the angels sing an anthem as
 the soul goes down to earth, For they know the Lord just loves
 to hear about an Irish birth. Oh, lucky sons of Ireland, you are

 an Irishman elate,
 He'll pass a joke with Fortune, or

New Scout Executive
Charles d. Maddox, Appointed Temp
orary Scout Executive Assumes
Duties This Morning.

The Kenosha Boy Scouts have a
new executive this morning. He is
Charles d. Maddox, who has been APP
pointed to take charge of the Keno
sha work until The arrival of Scout Elk.
ecutive David O. Fogwell, who is now
in army Y M. G. A. work in England.
Mr.. Maddox has been leader in
scout work Of Kenosha and was
ready to assume the duties Of his new
position this morning.
Scout Executive James F. Knapp re-
Gently resigned his position and the
resignation became effective today. He
will remain in an advisory relation to
the scouts and will help to keep up the
work of the organization until the new
permanent executive arrives.
The Boy Scout Council has not yet
received any definite word from Mr..
Fogwell as to when he expects to be
released from service, but it is believ-
ed that he will be in Kenosha in time
to take charge of the summer activi-
ties of the youngsters.

will require a great deal of work but
it is believed that Kenosha women will
respond with the old spirit and make
good on the last assignment - they re
something like the farewell tours Of &C

open on Tuesday and Friday and vol

Honor Returning Soldier
MIR. and Mrs. M. Schwartz are Host and
Hostess at Dinner Party for
Samuel Rubinstein.

Samuel Rubinstein was not forgotten
when he came back home. On Sunday
evening he was the guest of honor at a
delightful dinner party given by Mr..
and Mrs. M. Schwartz at their home
on Chicago street. Red, white and blue
appointments combined with unusual
menu and service made the eight course
dinner a memorable event for the re-
turning soldier and his friends. Patri-
otto music and speeches followed the
mint and coffee. The host presided as
master of ceremonies and rendered the
first appreciation of Mr.. Rubinstein s
nine months service with the colors.
Speeches by others followed with such
rapidity and enthusiasm that Mr.. Rub
instein was forced to acknowledge the
shower of verbal bouquets with speech
brimfUl of soldier sincerity and soldier
wit. At a late hour the jewellers paid
their respects to Mr.. and Mrs. Schwartz,
wished Mr.. Rubinstein good luck and
godspeedo il civilian life, and depart
ed for their several homes.

Minute-Men Trenary, Stewart, Park
er, Clarkson, and Maddox, and Thea
ter-Managers Meis and Rhode respond
ed with brief speeches in discussion of
the question.
The talks were pithy and to the point
but brought no definite solution of
the problem. It was urged by some
of the Minute-Men that the psycholo-
gical moment had passed, that they
would never again be accorded the
same attentive hearing that greeted
them during the war, and that conse-
quently they should be unconditional
ly "mustered out'. Others held that
local and national issues would con-
tinue to command the interest of Ke-
noshans and that discussion by Pa
triotic Speaking Reservists would in
sure them wide publicity and possibly
earlier settlement.
Inasmuch as there was considerable
divergence Of opinion regarding the
matter it was referred to a committee
COUDObOu VI uhlnabS-IhSu 1ICudIJ
and Marlatt and J. G. Rhode, who
were authorized to consider it more
fully and submit definite motions at a
later meeting of the Minute-Men.
Although the short-time orators diff
fered somewhat on the question of
their future they were perfectly agreed
on two points namely the efficiency Of
Mr.. Buckmaster as their leader and
the generous cooperation of Kenosha
theater-men in making service easier
and more effective for the Minute Men.
Appropriations of Mr.. Buckmaster $
work were profuse and Mr.. Rhode and
Mr.. Meis became close seconds in
acknowledging both compliments and
congratulations.
With the conclusion of the argument
"on futures" the Minute Men were dis
missed with the understanding that
they had been mustered out until fur
Their developments should call them
to the Reserve.
