SEES NEAR REVOLT
FACING KANSAS NOW
Governor Allen Says Pistol Shot Would
Bring Religious War in Kansas
Over Night.

Great Bend, Kans.-One pistol shot
could produce a state of civil war in
Kansas similar to that in Ireland, ac-
cording to Governor H. J. Allen, who
continued his attacks on the Ku Klux
Khan here yesterday. His speech was
part of series of political addresses
he is making in prediction tour of
the state, but the latter portion of it
was devoted to a scathing denunciation
of religious bigotry and community
hatred. The governor denounced GER
tain types of Catholics and members
of the Khan in the same breath, telling
them they should both be ashamed of
themselves.
"Now, as a fellow American, having
the same impulses that you have, 1 am
opposed to the Khan because it sug-
gests terrorism and outlawry and by
use of disguise men having a desire Ia
revenge themselves, go out and say
we will go out and thresh this fei-
low" Pointing out that he was not
condemning the Khan from any per
sonal beliefs or prejudices, the execu-
tive said, 81 am not against your or
ganization because you don't like the
Catholic church. l am not Catholic
I am a Methodist and a 32nd degree
Mason and a Knight Templar. belong
to all of these organizations. belong
to everything except the Knights OF
Columbus and the Ku Klux Khan and
wouldn't join either of Them
The governor asked EDO you want
turned loose in this state the horrors
of civil war? God forbid such a war
and yet what can you suggest to the
negroes of the state5 in some commu-
mites of which there are thousands
when the old Ku Klux Khan that terri
fed them So years ago, is again riding
at night? Can you expect them not tc
take any means whatsoever to protect
themselves? Ireland is fighting over g
quarrel that is 800 Years old, but We
curbed it in America when we wrott
into the constitution that all mer
should have the right to worship Goo
according to his own IDEAS"

PLAN OPENING
OF GENEVA ROAD
Road Closed to Traffic
for Many Years, Opened
on Thursday.
REPLANKING BRIDGE

\ Unless the best laid plans of the
Kenosha county highway commissioner
go astray, the Geneva road-twenty
miles of 1.-THE longest permanently
improved road in Kenosha county and
one of the longest in any county in
Wisconsin, will be thrown open to
traffic late Thursday afternoon. The
work of concreting the road was COM
pleted two weeks ago and today an
army of workers was busy fixing up
the shoulders along the road to the
west of Salem Mound cemetery and
they were expected to complete the
work late today or early tomorrow.
Meantime, another company of work
ers were busy replanking the Fox
River bridge SO that when the road is
open tomorrow it will be in excellent
condition. There will no longer be a
detour of any kind on this road. 81
First Time in Years.
This will be the first time in years
THAT the Geneva road has been open
ed for safe traffic throughout the
length of Kenosha county. Extending
west from Kenosha for a distance of
twenty miles, it is considered one of
the finest pieces of road ever put in
by any county in the state. While a
small stretch of the road is but nine
feet in width, the greater part of it is
a wide highway, perfectly improved and
with excellent provisions for shoulders
The road has always been one of the
most popular in this section of Wis
cOnsin and with the opening of the
straightaway road it is expected
that traffic on it will be very largely
| increased.
+. There still remains little over five
miles of the road to be improved be-
fore the concrete work \ is extended
across the entire county. 1t is pos
sible that part of this work will
be carried out during the next road
building season.
The road west Of the concerted road
is in excellent condition and the route
to Lake Geneva from Kenosha has no
handicaps for winter travel.

Petition Asking Removal
of Railroad Commission
in BIaine's Hands.
WILL TAKE NO ACTION
Permanent Organization May
BE Formed to Look After
Shopping Interests.

petition signed by eighty two
farmers residing at Somers and Union
Grove, was filed with Governor ]. J.
Blaine today asking removal from Of
fee of the present railroad commits
sioners on the ground that they had
failed to act to relieve the car shortage
facing shippers of the district.
The petitioners ask the governor to
appoint new commission which will
take definite action to relieve the car
shortage situation. They said that
the existing commission is Indifferent
and incapable of assisting the grow
ers and citizens of Milwaukee, Racine
and Kenosha counties in appeals for
aid to secure equipment to move their
cabbage and onion crops.
1t is not anticipated that the gov
ernor will act on the petition, the
railroad commission reports, that it is
doing everything in it's power to pro-
vide cars for shippers and its activi-
tives have brought word from the in
terstate commerce commission that
orders are being issued directing
freight cars from eastern lines to
western states, including Wisconsin.
Spurred on to Work.
While the petition sent from the
great cabbage growing district may
not get the results it seeks, it can be
said that the agitation among the
farmers has brought the needs of this
section very indefinitely and very
pertinently before the state officials
and the members Of the railroad COM
mission. The commission while de-
Ginning to accept responsibility for in
terstate shipments of cabbage and
similar crops, has made strong efforts
to get cars and it is understood that
the first part of the week will find
many cars at Somers, Union Grove
Corliss and other points from which
cabbage is shipped. 1t is believed
that the eighty-two farmers who have
signed this petition will unite into
an organization which will seek to
look after the interests of the South
ern Wisconsin territory and that next
year an early action will be taken
to secure cars for the shipment OF
the products of this district.
