EAGLES KINSTRELS

The annual Eagles minstrel show
was staged at the Orpheum last We'd
nesday evening and went over with a
bang. 1t was well up to former years
which is enough to say. The affair does
rot get stale because it is not permit
ted to get into a rut Some original
features are sprung eevry time it is put
on and the audience is always curious
for the next. The house was sold out
in a.few hours and a second perform
ance was arranged for to take care of
the overflow. The hall was filled a
second time Saturday evening and
went off a little better than the first
performance.

VOLUME 81
CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The council met in regular session
Monday evening. The official minutes
appear on another page.
The voting machine that was used in
the Third ward for a time and which
has been standing in the council cham
ber for many years, is to be offered for
sale. Inability to use the machines eff
fectively at the numerous primary cleo
tions was one of the causes for put
ting the machines into the discard. The
city has periodically been served with
notice that some manufactures claimed
the machine was an infringement of its
patents but never paid any attention
tothe claims.
Residents of South Ninth street al
lege that the blacksmith shop opened
by Gustav Brandt in their neighbor-
hood is a nuisance and want the city to
abate it. 1t will come up later. Simi-
lar petitions never got the petitioners
anywhere in particular in the past.
The city will issue bonds in the sum
of $4,000 to finance the purchase of
land adjoining Evergreen cemetery
The ordinance was ordered published
as required prior to final action.
A claim of Charles Protz for injury
to an automobile alleged to have been
caused by a defective street and
similar claim of the Products company
we're both disallowed because it was
asserted that proper notice of the IN
Jury had in neither case been filed
within fifteen days of the injury which
is an absolute prerequisite to city liza
bility.
l.. w. Ledyina appeared for the
Oshkosh people who have the contract
for the Eighth street bridge gates ana
said that it was impossible for them to
get a motor before December 80. BY
vote of to they were given until
February / to get the gates swinging
The state plumbing Inspector who
had habit of appearing quarterly for
wears to threaten and beg the city to
observe the law and appoint plumb
ing Inspector used to say that he didn't
believe Manitowoc would ever have
such an official. His prediction is stu
valid. George Fullam, who received
the appointment refuses to qualify as
building and plumbing h.5p.s.~s' ind
new examination of applicants is in
order.
John Schuette's annual $40 to the
two aid societies was turned in.
The council voted 10 buy S4,92O
worth of street work equipment from
the Austin-Western company.
The city will not culvert Sherman
Creek upon request of the Plating
company and the c. s, n. w. Railway
company. The council followed the
attorneys opinion that the city cannot
lawfully expend public funds for this
private purpose.
An old question bobbed into the pro-
ceedings when Health Officer Meanys
bill for care of smallpox patients at
the isolation hospital came up. The
doctors point is that his salary as
health officer does not cover travelling
out of the city to treat patients. The
question of transporting the isolated
patients was also involved An investi-
CATION will be made of the law govern
ing the matter. Similar claims were
disallowed some years age.

Thomas Hogan of Amigo, former
Manitowoc county boy, died Tuesday
of last week at Chicago whence he had
gone for treatment of malady from
which he had been a sufferer for some
months. The funeral was held at
Amigo Thursday. Judge Hogan was
born in the town of Newton, this
county and was about So years of age.
He was admitted to the practice of law
here when a young man and has passed
his entire professional life of about
thirty years at Amigo. He early earned
a commanding position at the bar in
his locality which he maintained until
he accepted the position on the munci-
pal bench. position in Langlade
county but little different in iurisdic-
tion, dignity and emoluments from the
circuit bench. He was fitted for, and
enjoyed, judicial labors although the
position was doubtless far less remun-
cratve than his work at the bar.
Judge Hogan's career added name to
the considerable list of men who by
industry, character and notable attain
ments have made small section of
Manitowoc county conspicuous as the
place of their origin.
Judge Hogan is survived by his
widow who was formerly Katie kir-
wan ofthis city. Judge Kirwan and
family went to Amigo with the re-
mains of Judge Hogan Wednesday.

4 It Is Good Business
to Subscribe to the
Victory Liberty Loan

TT is freely stated that the VICTORY LIB
= ERTY LOAN should be 1oated on business
basis It is contended that the rate of interest and
terms should be attractive to banks and investors
with idle funds.
We are assured that the terms OF the Loan
will be attractive but it matters not what the terms
are, there is not enough idle money available to
take up loan of five or six billion dollars.
It would be bad business for the banks to alb
sorb the Loan. It would be bad for the banks and
it would be bad for our community.
Good business demands that the banks keep
their funds In such shape that they loan money
to their customers when it is needed. If the banks
use their funds to purchase Liberty Bonds, their
ability to loan money to business and farmers
is lessened. The question is shall the banks loan
their money to Uncle Sam to our people?
If our people buy the Bonds the banks will lend
them the money they need to complete the pay
ments This will not affect the ability of the banks
to take care of the loans to our business men and
farmers, because the banks rediscount the
notes given for Liberty Bonds and thus replenish
their funds.
It is good business for people to subscribe
to the VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN and thus
keep the banks free to take of their regular
borrowers.
If business can get the money it needs, more
crops will be grown, more goods will be made
more people will be employed.
For purely selfish business reasons our people
should subscribe to the VICTORY LIBERTY
LOAN. For patriotic reasons also, we should all
do our part The money raised by the VICTORY
LIBERTY LOAN will be largely used to pay for
bills already contracted in winning the war; We
must keep the credit of our Government unfair

two new tires within q month will sor-
rowfully testify. It does cause un-
happiness, or a carburetor is not a
carburetor. It does promote pro-
family for we have often heard it from

to put on a set of non-skid chains.
Automobile riding is exhilirating.
So is whiskey drinking. But both are
momentary. Whiskey has broken up
many homes, but you will find the au-
tomobile figuring in many a divorce
suit nowadays. The upkeep of ma
chine causes grey hairs, and has pro-
duced many bloated aritsocrt on one
land and many a paurer on Che other.
The automobile traffice is greater than
the liquor trSffic ever was, and is
growing daily.
And now, if you are not convinced,
then you have darned little grey mat
ter in your noggin.
Finally, both being convinced as to
the deadliness of the automobile, we
hasten to assure you that both Of us
are dead wrong about it.-Jackson

TELEGRAPH RATES.

1t is hard to convince the public that
q 70 per cent. raise in telegraph rates
is justified, particularly when one OF
tho two big telegraph companies, the
Postal system, maintains that there Is
no need whatever Of increasing the
rates.
1t may be that such an increase is
necessary undsr public control.
The government has not been alto
gether fortunate in its recent handling
OF big public utilities formerly in pri-
vate hands. Its railroad control,
while broadly effective for certain war
purposes, has proved expensive beyond
all anticipation and discouraged many
who were formerly in favor of federal
ownership. Tie taking over OF the
telegraph wires, at time when the
war emergency really existed no long
or, bids fair to prove still more disap-
pointing.
Here is what many economists have
called a natural monopoly" which
theoretically could be run by govern
ment very appropriately along with
its postal system, as is done in various
other countries. There is no appar-
emit reason in the nature Of things
why telegraph service should cost
moro in public hands than in private
hands. If anything, one would expect
it to cost less, because of the elimi-
nation of competitive expense, and
smaller overhead cost. And yet the
postmaster general no sooner gets his
bearings in his new business than ne
proceed to add 20 cents to every dol
lar the public pays for its telegraph
service.
If this is Inevitable under public
control, and if, as the Postal officials
maintain, it can be avoided under
private control, by all means let the
Postal and Western Union companies
have their lines again, subject to
whatever conditions are necessary for
the preservation of public rights
