GETTING READY TO BLOW

The macadam streets all over the southeast
portion Of the city are getting ready to blow?
and if the council does not take some immediate
action to save what is left of these streets most
of them are going to be deposited on the piano
tops and front porches in the homes along them
The macadam streets have been an eyesore for
a long time but there is no reason why they
should continue to be an eyesOre. These streets
are in front of much of the most valuable prop
erty in the city. The general public is decided
ly interested in the demand that they be kept in
shape for reasonable use. just at the present
time these streets are the most active rivals
or the leather medal which has been held by the
Zion portion of the Sheridan Road.
The mills of the council are like the proverb-
iaI mills of the gods. They grind exceedingly
small and that is just what the delay of the
council is doing with these nacadam roads. IF
these roads aren't resurfaced this year the
chance of ever salvaging anything from them
is going to be gone. The council owes it to
the property owners along these streets to save
as much for them as is possible. It may be
that the macadam pavement which the coun-
Gil gave these people with the consent of very
few of them-was a mistake, but just the same
the council should take an interest in saving as
much as possible for these pople. It is declared
by contractors that these streets can be covered
with asphalt at cost of two dollars a yard or
less and that the pavement made by such action
would give wearing surface good or twenty
years. To build a new pavement on these
strickland it would be guaranteed for no
longer period-will cost double this amount
It may be that few property owners are not
in favor of having this work done, but it is the
duty of the members of the council to protect
the Glowing" interests of these people along
with the rest. The whole city is demanding
that these streets be preserved and put into
condition for use. The council should take i'm
mediate action to save everything possible of
these streets and to have them put into a con-
dition which will make them of value to the peo-
pie The cost of the improvement wound, under
the law properly be assessed against the prop
erty owners and the improvement of these
streets would not mean an expenditure of a
cent of money from the general fund. 1t is
false economy for the members of the council
to permit what is left of these streets to elbow"

THE NEW COUNTY BOARD

A new county board comes for organization
on Tuesday. It is going to direct the destinies
of Kenosha county for the next three years
three most imp tant years in the development
of Kenosha county The new board will start
out with clean slate as the board which has
had charge for the past three years has clean
up all of the business before it and has handed
down considerable of heritage to the mem
bers of the new board The old board made
serious efforts to solve big county problems.
The new board is expected to take up this work
where the old board left off and make further
progress.
The appointment of the committees of the
new board should be a matter of very serious
concern One special committee should be
named to consider the question of new court
house for Kenosha county. The members of
the old board tried hard to get action but failed.
This new three year board should make better
record for accomplishment. With the new law
providing for commission for moi government
for counties, the board is going to be on trial
as to the sufficiency Of the old system. Mod
ern methods Of county government are rapidly
appealing to enlightened communities and it
is not to be expected, that Kenosha county will
be an exception.
If the present board can convince the people
that a county commissioner system is better
than commission form it pust get action,
The court house matter has been hanging
fire for four years. 1t is to be hoped that this
board with a clean slate will begin writing
things at once and that one of its first actions
will be to order referendum of the county in
regard to the court house this referendum
is favorable to the proposition the big building
should be built without minutes delay.

THE HOME OF THE BAD MAN

The city of Kenosha is rapidly developing
reputation of being the refuge of the bad men,
Of course we have our own quota of violators
of the laws and this quota is plenty large for
city of the size of KenoSha but the act that
federal agents are spending lot of their
time here hunting bad men" wanted in other
cities would indicate that the active band of
law violators here are sufficiently high in their
profession to attract more than local mention
and that the lack of prosecution in Kenosha is
giving lot of these bad eggs from other cities
encouragement to come here. 1t isnot improb-
able that this influx of undesirables is large
ly responsible for the continued burglaries in
the city, or continued and notorious violations
Of the liquor laws and for sauseating traffic in
the virtue of young girls and women. 1t may
be argued that it is difficult for the officials of
a county to stop men coming in on trains. This
is all true but when the haven of these bad
men is closed up they are going to quit coming
to Kenosha. Prosecution and continued prose-
cution of these fellows who live continually on
the ragged edges of the law and whose NOR
atty is SO. debased as to permit them to offer
harbor for such people is the remedy. If Ke-
nosha will just put the fear of the law into the
hearts of these fellows who have been motor
ious in the violation of the laws here it is pref
ty certain that this place will cease to be a
refuge for the bad men of other communities.
The reason these fellows come to Kenosha is
because they know that Kenosha winks at the
enforcement of law. They feel that they are
safe here and that they will drop into very
friendly community. Their idea is all right in
a lot of ways, but it is an idea which the great
proportion of the people of Kenosha do not
care to have fostered. If the police force will
just round up this silk shirt gentry which lives
off others and never works for itself and see
to it that every member of it is jailed and
kept jailed, Kenosha will not be nearly so at
tractive place for the bad men and federal of
ticials will not be forced to be nearly so active
here. Round these fellows up and if they can
not show that they have a reason for being in
Kenosha, keep them in jail till they find rea-
( son to go somewhere else and stay somewhere
! else

College Profs Send
Children to College

Holyoke, Mass.-Profession men,
despite their proverbial niggardly sal
aries, predominant in sending their
daughters to college.
Figures made public today from a
census conducted by Mount Holyoke
College show that although slightly
more than three per cent of the entire
male population of the country are pro-
fessional men, yet thirty-three and
eight-tenths per cent of the students
there registered their fathers as pro-
fessional men.
While the professional men are most
interested in sending their daughters
to college, the farmers are least in
terested, the census showed. Thirty
six per cent of the men in the country
are engaged in agriculture, but only
eight per cent of the girls in college
come from the farms.
Next to the professional men, the
tradesmen are most interested in edu-
eating their daughters. Ten per cent
of the male population are in trades,
yet twenty-five per cent of the Mount
Holyoke students have tradesmen
fathers.

in County Named as De-
PENDANT by Wife.
MOVIES ARE BLAMED

Ezra H. Christensen, successful as a
county auctioneer, real estate, horse
and cattle buyer and known to nearly
every farmer in Kenosha county, made
Ia decided mistake according to his
wife, Hazel B. Christensen, when he
abandoned his profession and sought
to become a magnate in the motion
picture business.
Mrs. Christensen on Saturday was
granted an absolute decree of divorce
in the court in Racine. The husband
was ordered to pay her $10,500.
Divorce is Surprise.
The divorce action Scaused surprise
throughout the county because of the
prominence of the young couple. An
effort was made to keep the matter
secret, but the judgment ordered by
the court revealed the suit
Mrs. Christensen alleged cruel and
inhuman treatment and charged that
her husband was too attentive to
"stars" of the Rockwell Film company,
of which he was an officer.
A year ago Christensen decided to
abandon his profession of an auc-
tioneer With his wife he went to
Los Angeles and invested in the
Rockwell company.
Is Elected Officer.

an active part in the production of
pictures. Mrs. Christensen returned
to Corliss and there were rumors that
the couple had separated.
Christensen retired from the Rock
we'll company and became president
and general manager of the California
Film corporation. Three weeks ago he
stopped in Racine en- route from Los
Angeles to New York on business per
tanning to picture production and at
that time was served with papers in
the divorce action.

Duplication Vas
Hobby Nth Harris

Leland Harris, the Kenosha young
man who is in the Lake county jail
at Waukegan charged with bigamy,
was an artist at duplication.
Doubling up wives was only one ap-
plication OF the multiplication process
made by Harris, according to reports
made public today, which revealed that
he had lost his position as motorcycle
messenger boy at the Western Union
Telegraph Office here because of
another application Of the process of
duplication.
1t was in last November at the time
of the general election. Harris was
employed to take election bulletins to
the various poolrooms, saloons and
places of business that had contracted
for the service. He needed little
extra money, according to the report
of the manager of the company and so
he agreed for give spot" to give
copies Of the bulletins to several Of his
particular friends while the rate with
the company was fifteen dollars.
All went we'll until he got off sched-
ule on one bulletin. Then the owner
Of the pool room called the Western
Union manager to hustle up service.
"Why you don't get any service"
explained the manager.
I'D like to know why" came back
over the wire Didn't give your
man Harris five dollars ?"
When Harris returned to the office
he was told that his process of dupli-
cation had been found out and he was
told that his services were not longer
required,
And now Harris is having trouble
explaining not how he duplicated mes
sages but how he duplicated wives.
