alleged law violations is being investi-
gated.
Two Aldermen in Probe Net.
One of the most interesting aspects
of the affair was that among those
summoned were two members of the
common council of the city of Keno
sha,. While the officials would give
out no statements, it is said that these
men are Aldermen Joseph Loef from
the sixth ward and John Thommessen
from the ninth ward. No statements
could be secured from these aldermen
as to whether or not they had been
asked to come to Milwaukee for meet
ing with the district attorney.
1t appears from the list of the men.
who are reported to have been asked to
come to Milwaukee Ussensibly for the
purpose of continuing the probe into
conditions in Kenosha county. that no
angle of the alleged violations has been
forgotten. Among others who accord

shown in the alleged railway shipment
OF liquor into Kenosha was also shown
by the fact that William J kilt. who
IS IN charge of the freight office at
the Northwestern yards here, is also
believed to have been called to Mil
waukee. It is known that federal Of
ficers have long been interested in the
rumors which have been affoat of the
box cars of liquor shipped into Keno
sha and it is thought that the new
probe will delve into this side of tie
question.
As was to be expected there was
considerable reticence on the part of
the officials in making known anv Of
their plans but from the list of men
called to Milwaukee, it is certain that
the investigation is to continue in
definitely.
More Quaking Is Expected.
The new interest in the probe of
conditions in Kenosha county as evil
denced in the visit of the federal Off
Gals on Tuesday, sent new shivers
down the backs of many Kenoshans,
who had begun to believe that the in
vestigation was about over and it IS
said that more terror has now been
thrown into the ranks of the alleged
law violators.
The federal grand jury will resume
its sessions at Milwaukee again on
Thursday It is anticipated that dur
ing this session there may be some
action taken regarding the investiga-
tons which are known to have been
carried on in Kenosha county.

Measure of True Democracy.

Washington sautes Senator Harrison. He has
come to the rescue Of the District schools. He has
succeeded in having the Senate approve Of at least
modest school building program
1t would help lot if the many members of
Congress who have their families with them in
Washington had to- send their own children to
of them do this; but that they are all placed in
private schools.
This cannot be because they prefer private
schools for their children. 1t cannot be because
they would not prefer for them the practical
democracy of the public schools. They would
hardly like to have the folks back home think
that other things being equal, they chose private
schools for their own chieren.
There is a reason for this preference on their
part, and OF those who can afford to pay the CON
siderable price, for their not using the public
schools. But this personal experience of Congress
men as to their own families should have an i'm
pressive effect their attitude toward the District
schools.
The great bulk OF the people cannot afford to
use the private schools They must send their
children to the public schools 1t is for these also

there .a ...
If she is opposed to developing other American
ports this is fair fight in which the United States
has the advantage. If American shiplnes have
agreements not to follow policy injurious TO Brit
ish shipping, there may be very good reason. IS
1t may include the right to British terminals
in other ports. 1t may include coaling privileges
1t may include facilities without which the opera
ton of the American lines would be impossible.
Railroads make similar contracts among themselves.
The merchant marine is an infant. 1t was born
man-size of the war. 1t comes into direct competi-
ton with this DID, worldwide, fully ntrenched Brit
sh marine. 1t is hampered by restrictive laws, by
Federal CONTROL by lack of capital and most Of all,
by need of terminals.
1t is an unequal contest. British shipping has
always BEEN and is nursed by the government
Legislation is aimed to its world dominance 1t IS
given every possible advantage 1t is backed by
the government. 1t does not have to dishonor-
able ways to combat the American infant.
The seas are free only outside the three-mile
limit. But cargoes do not originate there, nor are
they discharged there. Even tramp steamers carry
flags which do do not give them enormous ad-
vantages the minute they enter port. The free
dom of the is a myth surviving from the days
of primitive traffic.

Sartorial Success.

"The who is conscious of wearing the
right clothes at the right time has feeling of
pleasure. Good clothes suggest that live for
the finer things of life. They give man prestige,
self-conhdence and air of affuence"
Any man of modest means can get this feeling
and float in the of his sartoral suffciency
for the mere expenditure of $4,000 OF course this
does not include his silk underwear which must not
shock by imitation the fneness of his sensibilities
1t does not include his shoes, shirts, gloves
neckties, hats, and those trhes without which,
however, no man is we'll groomed. All must be in
harmony; there must be no false note to betray
possibility of not being born to the manner Of the
clothes.

THE PRoDIGAL VILLAGE, by lrv-

Comapny).

This is a story of Bingville, a viii
lage that went on a glorihed jag OF
selfishness and eNtravagance. Even
tually IL awoke, somewhat ashamed
of itself and duly chastened. The
people in the story represent types
rather than individuals and the au-
thor's object is obviously to make
a tale to adoTn a moral. He is not
extensively didactic, however and he
doesn't preach. From the moment

story moves swiftly and surely. The
misadventures in love of Mr.. Bing' S
daughter Phyllis and the earnest
and ultimately successful attempts
OF Hiram Blenkinsop to regain his
self-respect provide suspense and
humor. Whenever Mr.. Bacheller is
moved to comment on the frailty OF
man, he speaks through Judge
Crooker who is about the only man
in the village to retain his poise.
Bob Moran, a crippled boy, provides
the sentiment.
