WILSON COMES OUT
ON LEAGUE ISSUE
"The Issue Before the Country Today
is Whether We Will Make Good
or Quit" Says Wilson.
fBy United Pressl

Washington, D. C.-Asserting that
the amendments to the League of Ma
tions covenant as preached by Warren
G. Harding, Republican candidate for
president and Republican leaders
throughout the United States, was
Spurious and invented for party pur-
pose only" President Wilson made a
brief statement to delegates of the
Republican pro-league who called on
him at the White House. The presi-
dent said he regretted that the League
of Nations issue was intermingled
with partisan issues.
at is to be feared" the president
said, shat the real issue presented
for your consideration in the present
campaign, is grown more obscure
rather than clearer by reason of the
many arbitrary turns the discussion
has taken. 1t is with a desire to re-
clarity the issue and assist your judg-
ment tina | take the liberty of stat
ing again the case, submitting it in
as simple terms as possible"
The statement which the president
read was one he had prepared to issue
as a final campaign doctrine and was
addressed to "My Fellow Countrymen.
The president said the war having
been won at is my privilege to sum
mon you now to the concert of peace
and the completion of the great moral
achievement which the war presented"
The president declared the war will
have been fought in vain and Ameri-
cas- immense sacrifices thrown away,
"Unless we complete the work we then
began" "There is only one way he
added, "to assure the world peace and
that is by making it so dangerous
to break the peace that no nation will
ever do it again."
"We should not be deceived" he
said, Gin supposing that imperialistic
schemes ended with the defeat of
Germany, or that Germany is the only
nation that entertained such schemes
or was moved by sinister ambitions"
"The issue before the country today
is whether we will make good or quit,
he stated in closing.

Federal Officials Arrest
Emanuel Gordon in Raid
at ManitOwOc.
FIND FIVE GALLONS

Emanuel Gordon, aged about twenty
five years, of Kenosha, was arrested
by federal officials in Manitowoc on
Tuesday on charge of transporting
liquor when the truck which he was
driving, was halted by officials and in
it was found five gallons of whiskev.
Gordon was taken to Milwaukee where
he was later released under heavy
bond and bound over for trial on a
charge of violating the federal pro-
hibition law.
Young Gordon's parents live in Ke-
nosha and while he is said to reside in
Chicago, he is well known here. There
are limitations that his arrest may
hook up Kenosha in the booze ring
now under investigation at Milwau
kee and emanating from Chicago.
Halted by Officials.

through the city of Manitowoc when
he was halted by federal officials, who
demanded that they be allowed to
search the truck. There they found
more than five gallons Of alleged
liquor and Gordon was immediately
placed under arrest. He declared that
the liquor was taken from a ware
house in Chicago but the dry officials
rather doubt his story. Gordon did
not reveal where he Intended to de-
liver the liquor but insisted that
everything that he was doing was
within the law.
The truck and its contents were all
seized. The whiskey was confscated
but friends of Gordon hoped to be
able to secure the release of the truck
under bond in the near future.

LITTLE CHILDREN
ARE NEAR DEATH
Little Children Of Frank
Paleski Rescued from
Burning Home.
DOOR IS BROKEN IN
Mother of Children Had Lock
ed Them in Apartment While
She Went Shopping.

Two little children of Frank Paleski,
one three and the other five years old,
added thrills to a fire which Quilted the
apartment of the Paleskis at 522 Mid
die street just after eight o'clock this
morning and the fact that the children
were not burned to death was due to
the heroism of Morris Rostker, who
broke the doors of the burning build
ing and carried the children to safety.
Mrs. Paleski, the mother of the two
children, had left the apartment to go
to neighboring store on shopping
expedition as with the bad rainy
weather she wanted to be sure that the
children would remain in the house
and when she went away she locked
the door.
Fire Starts in Closet.
Just after eight o'clock Rostker, who
is the owner of the apartment build
ing and who resides on the first floor,
noticed the odor of smoke. He started
out to make an investigation and when
he reached the second floor of the
building he noticed smoke coming from
the apartment occupied by the Paleski
family. He attempted to get into the
room but found the door locked. Then
he heard the two little children crying
in the room and without waiting a
minute he kicked an the door AS the
door fell from its hinges, burst of
smoke and flames came out into the
hallway. sgees,asg, s.ss
Rostker in grave danger of being
seriously burned forced his way
through the smoke and flames. He
found the little children huddled to-
gether in a corner of the room all but
overcome by the smoke which filled
the apartment. Grabbing one in each
arm he carried them to safety. Then
he turned in the fire alarm.
The mother of the children returned
to the apartment minute after the
fire had been discovered and she was
hysterical until she discovered that the
little children had been carried to safe
ty and they were found at the home of
a neighbor, wiping the smoke from
their eyes.
May Have Played With Matches.
The fire started in clothes closet
in the apartment and it is thought pos
sible that it was set by the children
playing with matches. The children.
who came close to being burned to
death in, the apartment, denied that
they had been playing with matches.
In the closet was feather-bed and
this had caused very rapid spread of
the flames
When the fremen reached the place,
the entire upper part of the building
was smoking and much of it was in
flames. It was said that the loss of
the building would be in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 and that the loss on the
furnishings belonging to the Paleski
family would probably reach $3.50
There was no insurance to cover the
! loss.
Mrs. Paleski, overioyed at the res
cue of the children from the burning
apartment, seemed Indifferent as to the
fate of the furnishings of the home.

Levy for Educational Pur-
poses Passes 100000
Mark for First Time.
STATE TAX IS $3.50
With Receipt of ApportiOnment
for State Taxes City Promised
Levy Near 100000 Mark.

Another blow came to the members
of the common council who have been
seeking to keep the city tax levy with
in the thirty mill levy of last year,
this morning when County Clerk
Charles L. Holderness received from
the State Tax Commission certifcation
Of the apportionment of the state
taxes to De paid by Kenosha county.
The total to be collected for the state
in Kenosha county this year is
$164,35.17 as compared with $144,320.1O,
the apportionment in 1919. This is an
increase Of $20,515.O7. AS more than
sixty-fve per cent of the county tax
is to be paid by the people Of the city
the state tax to be added to the levy to
be made by the common council will
be in the neighborhood of $4,000.
To this is yet to be added the city's
share of the regular county tax and
with the complete loss of the income
tax to the county this year it is GER
tain that the county tax to be paid by
the city will be decidedly large and
that the total of the state and county
tax to be paid by the city will be
in excess Of 100000, the largest tax
of the kind to be levied in the his
tory Of the city and county.
General Tax is Low.
Kenosha county will not pay great
deal as a general state tax, the total
amount assessed under this caption
being bat $3.50. Possibly the county
can meet this amount without much
straining but the amounts demanded
for educational purposes are unusual
ly large this year. For instance, Ke-
nosha county is to pay $3O,9O635 for
the support Of the state university and
almost half as much for the support
of the state normal schools. The levy
for the common schools fund is $4,000
and for highway construction little
over 100000. The amounts assessed
against the county to pay the bills of
inmates of the various institutions
totals a little over $4,000 reflecting
very clearly the vast increase in the
cost of living and in the cost of main
tanning these institutions. 1t can be
said that more than $105,000 of the
total tax assessed against Kenosha
county by the state is for educational
purposes and of this amount a very
large amount will be paid back to
the city and county in the way of
state aid for the schools.

tax to be collected and the purposes
