THE HONESTY OF YOUTH

Willie Dalton, the Chicago 17-year-old boy
who walked out of bank with S772,000 worth
of Liberty bonds has brought doubt into some
minds They question if boys so young are to
be trusted. They say it isn't fair to tempt youth
by the free display of wealth belonging to
others.
And some go as far as to suggest that banks
employ only persons of mature age
There might be some grain of common sense
in the suggestion if it were not that the larger
percentage of embellishments are the product of
minds older than Willie Dalton's.
A vice president of the bank where Dalton
worked says:
Our faith in young men has not been shak-
en-"
Honesty is not matter of age" says John
?. Oleson, another Chicago banker, adding, 1--WE
have found that a man of 80 is just as likely
to prove faithless as one of H."
There is this difference probably. between
the honesty of youth and age: the young man
is honest because honesty is inherent in the
human; the old man is honest because he has
learned to know that honesty is right. or be-
cause he has found out that honesty is the
best policy
1t Is true, judging from police records, that
majority of robbery crimes, pocketpicking.
burglary, holdups, are being committed by
young men, We should bear in mind that to
youth comes the greatest temptation. and
youth is less endowed with capacity to resist
an impulse
Youth has not the experience of age.
Youth labors under handicap even in the
Gfort to be honest.
We older folk may well remember that even
when Little Boy makes away with the contents
of cookie jar, or Willie Dalton walks off
with a bundle of bonds, eve can put the Jar
out of Little Boys reach. until he has learned
society's law of private ownership; and we
can refrain from LEAKING bonds lying around
where boys can stumble over them)
But let us not, because one boy steals-or a
thousand-eXile boyhood from the valuable
school of experience Until they have gone
through that school they never will know
that
Honesty is the best policy

LONG LIVE THE SENATE!

Drunk with power" is the expression used
by the Manufacturers Records to describe the
Wilson administration in its attitude toward
public interests. And il is an expression that
may very frequently be applied with proprlety
to executives regardless Of party. History re-
cords the administration of few monarchs, few
emperors few administrative officers of what
ever titular designation, who did not become
intoxicated by the realization of power. The
wise trainers of the American Constitution fore
saw Just that tendency, and reduced the danger
to the minimum by limiting the term OF. pres
ident to four years, at the end of which he must
go back to the people for approval of his rec
ord. Our forefathers made another and even
more effective provision for the safeguarding
Of the nation against dctatorship-the estab-
lishment of a Congress composed of two bodies
with exclusive power to levy taxes, raise armies,
declare war and finally pass upon treaties OF
peace But even with these important limita-
tons upon his power, the American president
has sufficient authority to turn the head of an
ambitious man and bring en- mental condi-
ton that is very aptly described as drunk with
power" When one contemplates the probable
situation of the United States today if these
limitations ndQ nOC DSen eSIdDllSHeu, IL Is ull-
icult to escape the thought that the founder of
the government were inspired by superhuman
wsdom-by a providence that determined to
found on this continent nation where liberty
shall forever prevail. And yet, with all these
safeguards, it was only by the courage and fore
sight of Republican senators that the United
States was saved from surrender to League
of Nations which would have had power to tell
us how large our army and navy shall be- what
our immigration and tariff policies shall be, and
when and where and why we shall fight. The
senate saved the nation from the consequences
Of the acts of man drunk with power. Long
live the senate

Shipping in Ice
to Fill Houses
Kenosha County Ice Houses Are Being
Filled by Ice Shipped from
Northern Lakes.

The ice famine that struck Kenosha
county this season, was emphasized
this morning when it became known
that the owners of the ice houses
in Kenosha county had abandoned
the plan of securing ice from local
lakes and were shipping in ice from
northern Wisconsin to meet the de-
mands At Paddock's Lake ice from
Oshkosh and Fond du Lac has been
brought by the carload and is being
stored away in the ice houses there
under the direction of Superintendent
L. C. Tuess. The rule of the ice
house is to put up no ice that is not
fourteen inches thick. There has been
no ice of this kind in Kenosha county
this year and with February gone the
ice men have despaired of having any
harvest this season. 1t is said that
similar steps are being taken by all
the ice house owners in the county.
Much ice has been cut in Kenosha
county but at each ice house there
are large piles of ice which has been
rejected because it did not have the
proper thickness.
It is anticipated that the shipping
of ice from northern counties will
have the result of boosting the price
for Kenosha county users of lake ice.

son would seek to avoid projecting himself into

DAZED BY BOLT
OF LIGHTNING
Charles Schilling Narrowly
Escapes Death Satur-
day Night.
CITY IS in DARKNESS

Charles .Schilling, 769 Dayton street,
is ready to believe the saying that
lightning never hits twice in the same
place" His faith in it was confirmed
in the electrical storm which struck
Kenosha early Saturday evening when
he narrowly escaped death by being
dazed by bolt Of lightning which
struck the ground only few feet in
front of him. Ten years ago he was
struck by lightning and laid in hos
pital three months recovering from
the blow and he believed the applica-
tion of the above hearsay rule is all
that saved him this time from SINH
lar fate or death.
AS it is, Schilling is limping little
as result of his experience.
Caught in Lincoln Park.
Schilling had been to visit his sis
ter who lives south of Lincoln Park
and he was crossing that park when
the storm broke. He stopped minute
to light a cigar.
"Then l saw ball of fire flash by
me, explained Schlll1ng. ut looked
like a big fiery pumpkin and it hit
the ground just a few feet in front
of me. If I-had not stopped to light
the cigar, know that l would have
never lived to tell the tale"
Schilling was knocked several feet by
thebolt. He says that he hit against
a tree and that he must have been
there several minutes before he came
to his senses. He found his left leg a
little stiff and he believes that herfe-
ceived some of the electrical force of
the bolt.
It was not a new experience for
Schilling. Ten years ago while he was
on a fishing trip, he was caught in an
electrical storm He fed under large

Congress wisely decided not to regard the
battleship as obsolete. Undoubtedly the battle
ship of 1914 would be obsolete in a contest
with the submarine of 1916, but the designers
adm builders Of battleships did not quit work in
1914. Adequate methods were devised for pro-
lection of battleships against submarines and
other means will be devised for protection of
the same vessels from attack from the air.
Transportation of troops to Europe would have
been impossible without the heavy fighting
ships and these vessels will be as essential in
the future as in the past. Development of new
methods of attack will necessitate new methods
OF defense, but will not render the battleship
obsolete.

WATER BEATS
SCHOLEY OUT
Crusader Caught in Storm
in the Western End of
the County.
NO LIQUOR is FOUND

. One thing has been found which will
stop John Scholey from raiding when
he gets on the trail-it's water. 1t put
an end to raiding operations set for
last Saturday night and the constable
and his aid, Constable Ralph Moore,
gave up the trail when the mud be-
came SO deep that the automobile re-
fused to go any further. The two Of
ficials had started out for a cleanup
of places in the western part of the
county and they reached the village
OF Twin Lakes just about early candle
lighting time. Just about the same
time one of the biggest electric and
rain storms ever known in the county
struck this section. 1t rained and it
poured but Scholey and his aid went
out and sought the shelter of a saloon
at the station. They found that the
elements had closed the place up and
there was not sign of life about it.
Scholey and Moore could not find ac
commodations for the night at Twin
Lakes and they were forced to drive
through the storm to Salem where
they found PLACE to dry their clothes
and a place to sleep.
No Raids at Salem.
With the lifting of the clouds the
two crusaders made trip about the
village of Salem. They admitted find
ing one little gambling game but as
they had no search warrants for poker
chips they did not modest the game
and it went merrily on. "Outside of
nearly getting drowned there wasn't
much of a feature to the trip out
west" declared Scholey this morning
1--WE did not fine an ounce of liquor
@ any kind, but we found so much
water that we were just naturally con-
WINGED that the whole western end of
the county was wet"
Many search warrants have been
taken out by the constable for raids
planned for the next few days and
operations with plenty of aid from the
city, county, state and federal govern
ment and the state prohibition office
were scheduled to start some time
today.
