Thumbnail Essays-Fame

Fame is a funny thing. Some
seek 1t life time and muff 1t,
while Others have 1t forced upon
them. Barbara Frietchie achieved
it by poking her dome out of a
window and telling StoneH all
Jackson where to head in. The
boy who stood on the burning
deck did it that way. Mary had
a little lamb and, no doubt.
should never have been heard Of
otherwise. other examples will
readily suggest themselves.
II should be understood that all
this stuff on fame is from hear
say. But we're still hoping. Fame
is a good deal like a cream puff.
It's nice to think about but when
one gets it there's very little to
it--or In 1t. AS rule. when one
becomes famous there is little for
him to look forward to but ca
pacity crowd at his funeral.

In the Portland school election the teachers proved them
selves mghtier than the press For the first time in history
the three leading papers united in support OF non
partisan ticket comprised of the candidates universally con-
ceded the best qualified This ticket poled 5000 votes
while the teachers ticket poled $4,000
The trouble grew out of the repeal of the teachers tenure
law by the last legislature which aroused the teachers be-
restored to the school board the power OF arbitrary
dismissal of teachers which led to gross abuse the past
AS the LOO 200 teachers said to have
pledged themselves to deliver 10 votes each for their can
ddates Religious preudces were also injected into the cam
pagn accounts for the election OF at least one OF e
candidates.

Open Y. w. C. A. to
Dancing and Cards
(By United Press)

London.-There is trouble In the
camp of the Y. w. C. A. here. Recent
ly it has been advocated that, as the
women are not only Christians, but
young, they should be allowed to dis
port themselves after the manner of
youth, and this has resulted in the
innovation of dancing, card playing,
smoking, theatricals, etc. On this ac-
count many have seeded from mem
bership, declaring that, these things
are not compatible with the aim Of
the association. This has not altered
the policy of the authorities. At most
Y. w. G. A. assembly rooms, the dane
ing continues, as well as any other
youthful pastimes the members care
to indulge in. Broadened by war ex-
perience, nearly all sects of the church
today say Christianity does not nee
essarily mean Puritanity and many a
returned minister is busying himself
with arranging Sunday football match
es for his flock, while vicarages and
village greens are thrown open to the
young folk who have caught the dane
ing fever. The clergy declare that
sermonizing and text-reading are no
antidote to the mischief that waits on
"idle hands"

Claim Wage Cut
is Small Item
Kenosha Carpenter Cites Newspaper
Article to Show That Wage Cut
is Not the Chief Trouble.


A newspaper article, taken from
Chicago paper, was cited by a Keno
sha carpenter this, morning as proof
that cut in wages of the carpenters
and various tradesmen in the build
ing industry, would only save little
more than two per cent in the cost of
building. The carpenter maintains
that the contractors are attempting
to show that the high cost of building
comes as result of high wages while
he insists that the statistics published
by the metropolitan paper show ex-
clusively that the high wages are not
the biggest cause for the raise. The.
committees of the carpenters and con-
tractors were still considering the pro-
posal recently placed before them and
it is believed that some sort of an
agreement is near.

when Deputy Robinson came in with
report that there was stranded
Mitchell car in front of the Maple Inn.
The sheriff's force investigated and

and that it was alright to let the young

MIL WAUKEE WOMAN
CLAIMS A FORTUNE
Memphis Court Hears Echoes Of Twen-

for Big Fortune.
by Associated Pressl

Memphis, Tenn. - Echoes of TWEEN

her, wealthy Memphis man, who ac-

RECORD CkASS
OF new CITIZENS
Court Room is Thronged
by Aliens Anxious to
Get Under Flag.
ADMIT TEN ''ENEMIES''
Presidential Exception Paves
Way for Admission of Men
Formerly Germans.

Today was naturalization day in the
during the day more than hundred
men from various parts of Kenosha
county renounced their allegiance to
European rulers and took the oath Of
allegiance to the United States of
America. 1t was one of the largest
classes ever admitted to citizenship in
this section of Wisconsin.
Seventy of the new citizens came in
under the regular petitions and TWEEN
ty were soldiers who had served in the
World War under the flag of the
United States. The most interesting
members Of the class were ten men
who had formerly been classed as
"alien enemies" of the nation on &C
count of the fact that they had been
former subjects of the emperor of
Germany. These ten were admitted to
citizenship by the action of President
Wilson in granting the presidential
exception to objections to their admis
sion.
See Early Chance for Others.
An examination Of the records of the
naturalization bureau in Kenosha
county shows that nearly a hundred
other men and women who at one time
were residents of Germany and GER
tain portions Of Austria are now wait
ing for chance to become full citi-
zens Of the United States. 1t is ex-
pected that the way to citizenship for
these people will be opened by an ac-
tion of congress declaring that the
United States is at peace with the
countries of the central powers. 1t is
believed that this action will be taken
before the holding of another natural
ization term in Kenosha county and
that with that action the way will be
opened for all Of these people to get
under the flag.
May Scrutinize Records.
Even though peace may be declared
between the United States and Ger
many, it is expected that the records
of people who have been classed as
alien enemies will be closely scrutin-
lied and that the government will not
admit as citizens anyone whose rec
ord during the war was tainted with
the suggestion of aid to the enemy.
The hearings today were conducted
by Examiner Jordan of the federal bu-
reau and he took especial care in the
examination of the aliens. Every man
who came to the stand seeking citizen
ship was asked, "Are you willing to
fight for this country?' The other
prominent question was, did you sup
port the nation during the late war %
It was expected that the work of
admitting the record class Of citizens
would be completed by late this after
noon. The next hearing for the ad-
mission of citizens will be held in
June.
