SIGNS or SPRING

As sure a sign Of spring as the wild
geese following the aerial trails north
ward or the kids playing "mibs" are
the increases in homeless yagrants
moving on they know not where, and
missing individuals Where the va
grants hibernate is a mystery. They
suddenly reappear like the robins. The
city police station entertained tourists
every night last week with few if any
repeaters. The vagrant seldom knows
where he is going but he is always on
the way
Then as the scent of spring comes
into the air, though he must have a
beagle's nose to have caught it thus
far, the householder puts on his hat
after supper and goes to the corner
grocery for bit of tobacco, and van
shes into space.

CRIMINAL SLANDER CASE

John Shuber of Maribel was tried in
municipal court yesterday IN a charge
tf Slandcr thought by JOSEPH Wotruba
The trouble grew out of ne recent at
tempt to organize a new religious con-
gregauon at Mdrbel. Shubert was
charged win having made alleged de
famatOry rcma"Ns about Wotruba at
an open meeting of the parishioners,
the substance of which was that the
committee of which Wotruba was a
member was dishonest
The prosecution had a large number
of witnesses and evidently proved that
the remarks were made as charged.
The defense contended that these
were not sufficient grounds for the
complaint and that the action was not
properly before the court and no testi-
mony was offered in defense.
The court ruled against this. Shubcr
was found guilty and fine of 500
and costs was imposed There were
iHtimations that there would he an ap-
peal to the circuit court

MEET ON SCHOOL PLANS

The city council as a Cmomittee of
the whole held meeting with the city
board of education last week, and
every phase of the new high school
situation was gone over.
The site question was not considered
although Alderman Drumm tried to
inject it into the proceedings. The
meeting proceeded on the assumption
that the site has been definitely, final
ly, and irrevocably fixed, and refused
to discuss the matter
The proposed change in the location
of some of the minor buildings for the
purpose of leaving clear a space for
the future opening southwark of Lake
street through the eastern end Of the
school premises was not favored. The
changes would work considerable loss
and there are serious Typographical OBJ
Stacles to the opening Of the street, and
other objections.
There was also a report of "spe-
cial heating engineer" to the effect that
it will be more economical to build a
school heating plant than to heat the
school from the city's utility plant near
by. The great economies to be effect
ed by heating from The utility plant
was one of the leading arguments for
the Roeff's hill site.
Financing possibilities were thor
oughly aired. 1t was said that this
years assessment of the city will be
over S3O,0O0,0OO, an increase of about
S6,000,000. The city will need some OF
this new lee-way as the paving pro
gram will require $4,000 in bonds this
year. No one seems to be worrying as
to financing as the magical expedient
of simply increasing assessed valua.
tion can be resorted to indefinitely.
The general understanding was thai
the school plans would be approved by
the council.

JUDGE KlRKAN UNOPPOSED

Judge Michael Kirwan will have no
opposition at election, April A.. This
shows that the voters of the Fourth
judicial circuit agree with us to the
fundamental Importance of keeping a
good and competent man on the bench.
That requirement is fully met in the
candidacy of Judge Kirwan. TO re-
elect a satisfactory sitting judge is the
sound principle of selection in all
cases, regardless of politics For
twenty-three years Judge Kirwan has
sat on the bench and all this time his
court has been the symbol of absolute
and impartial justice. Indeed, he has
proved his fitness by the record he has
made. He is lawyer of the highest
standing, a man of character, marked
ability, and unquestioned integrity, and
citizen imbued with sense of public
service. The Pilot congratulates Judge
kirwan on his being unoppoSed and
hopes that he may be spared for long
period of usefulness in a vocation for
which he is so eminently fitted.

The vocal concert of last Friday
evening, at Turner Hall, by the Misses
Barrie, proved to be, as all predicted,
a great success.
The programme was, with very few
exceptions, a selection of extremely
difficult pieces for both voice and ac-
compartment, requiring great study
and patience, and showing to great ad-
vantage the versatility of Miss Bar
rie's musical powers.
The piano solo, "Snow Flakes" ny
Miss Ida Patchen, was received with
marked appreciation by the audience
1t is seldom that one so young becomes
as thorough in execution and express
sion.

FORD DAY

There was a Ford Day" at Manito-
woe Tuesday, one of the motor wizards
unique methods of advertising at the
morning session at the Court House.
John Schwartz, the alfalfa king" gave
the assembled farmers a talk on his
hobby and he certainly knows his sub
ject. He went into the future of alfal-
ia for ManitowOC county dairy farms
and gave his hearers a lot of good ad-
vice. He then answered lot of ques-
tions.
County Agent Smith gave a talk on
soil acidity and lining and gave a de
monstration of soil testing, one of his
favorite topics.
There was a Ford program at the
Capitol theatre in the afternoon with
moving pictures and talks by O. II.
Perkins, c. f., Brown, and G. f. Lynch.
Mr.. Perkins told of Henry Fords life
and achievements, while Mr.. Brown
gave an Illustrated lecture on a system
of cost accounting for farmers and its
benefits. There was music and enter
tanning films.
A rubber tired Fordson tractor with
a locomotive whistle cayorted about
the business streets all day attracting
attention.
The whole thing evidenced Mr.. Ford's
genius for publicity, as witness this
space in the pure reading matter"
gratis, but the excuse is that he is not
considered as an individual but as a
national institution.

On last Tuesday evening, when the
train on which the delegates from this
district to attend the Republican State
Convention at Madison, reached East
Madison, the gentlemen composing the
Representatives of this district, MessrS.
Luling, White and Esslinger, attempted
to leave the train, and the two former
gentlemen reached the platform in
safety, but Esslnger, unfortunately
missed a step, and, the cars being in
motion, he fell between the wheels and
the platform, and was severely crushed
and bruised Ivy the passing wheels, and
no doubt would have been instantly
killed by the wheels of the car which
was moving towards him, had he not,
by the most superhuman muscular eX-
ertion, thrown himself bodily from the
track on to the platform, where he was
taken up in an almost insensble con
dition. We trust that he will soon he
able to resume the duties at his office.
Mr.. Esslinger suffers a great deal of
pain, but we trust no serious result will
follow this painful disaster

An amusing outcome of the dog
scrape whereby % horse was killed is
that Naumann, the man who tried to
kill the dog and shot his horse instead,
wants Kirschcr the owner of the dog
to pay for the horse. There is some
reason for the demand as primarily
ths dog was to blame, though the fiasco
resulted from Naumann's bad aim. II
is good thing, in any event, to be
preiudiced against he dog.
