the JUDICIAL ELECTION

1t is the duty of every citizen to vote
for judges of our courts. The duty is
neglected by large part of the cleo
torate. The call to this duty is more
imperative than ever this spring by
reason of the fact that the place on the
state supreme bench now occupied by
a judge equipped by character, knowl-
edge of law and legal training, scholar
ship, temperament and industry to rem
der distinguished service to the people
of the state, and who is rendering it, is
challenged by man who, however es-
Unable in character, would not be
thought of for the place were he not
representative of an active political
organization (Socialists) with so-called
class rule for its cornerstone. There
is no danger if the people vote. Even
if there is no contest in your ward or
your town for local officers get out
and vote for Burr W. Jones for the
Supreme Court.
His continued presence on that bench
will be an unanswerable argument for
an elected judiciary. He came to the
bench from a life time crowded with
distinguished service at the bar. He is
an eminent law writer whose great le-
gal work is on the shelves of half the
lawyers in the country. For a genera
tion he sacrificed half a day each week
from busy professional life to help
make the College of Law at our state
university the good law school it is,
The arduouS labor of this court, and it
is that, is to him labor of duty to
the people of Wisconsin. He does not
need this Office, but the people need
him there.
The possibility of his defeat arises
solely through the possibility of an or
ganized, militant, active minority TAX
ing advantage of the neglect, indiffer-
ence or apathy of the majority.
Protect the courts. They are the
keystone of the arch of our govern
ment Never was there less chance of
making a mistake between two oppos-
ing candidates for high judicial office
in Wisconsin than in voting for Burr
W. Jones for the supreme court next
Tuesday. Your vote counts. Look for
the judicial ballot and vote for Justice
Jones. On the same ballot, unopposed,
will be found the name of Michael
Kirwan for the circuit court. Make
a cross in the square after the names
of Jones and Kirwan.

THE MUSIC MEMORY CONTEST

The music memory competition pro-
NOTED by the Mozart club will close by
a competitive test at a concert at the
Orpheum, Monday evening, April 10.
The club will then have a concert
by the test musical talent of the city
and the young competitors will be ask
ed to name the selections from mem
ory. The test will be name, composer
and added information which has been
appearing in the papers. A small en-
trance fee will be charged for nom
competitors.
The affair solely as concert will be
well worth the attendance of music
lovers. Ten compositions will be Sc
lected from the twenty-five which have
been given unusual publicity.
The club committee in charge has
been hampered by the theft from the
Mckinley school Of twenty-one high
grade phonograph records which had
been loaned by pupils to the commit
tee for the work. Many of them were
valuable records.

THE SONG OF TIE PL0W

1t was | who raised from famine all
the hordes and tribes of Man;
have never ceased nor faltered
since the filth of fields began,
Since the first poor crooked stick was
drawn across the wondering earth,
While upon the man who used it all
his trbesmen gazed in mirth--
But the wild seeds sprang in blossom
more abundant than before,
And the fool who toiled all Summer
had the wise mans Winter store
1t was | who built Chaldca and the
cities on the plain;
| was Greece and Rome and Garth
age and the opulence of Spain,
When the courtiers walked in scarlet
and their Queens wore chains of
gold
And forgot twas l that made them,
growing goddess folk and bold
l went over them in judgment and
again my cornfelds stood
Where ther empty courts bowed
homage in obsequious multitude.
For the nation that forgets me, in that
hour her doom is sealed
By judgment as from heaven that
can never be repealed

CONDEMNATION VAL UeS

The commissioners appointed by the
county court to fix the value of the
land to be taken by the city for miss
ing link of Twenfth street southwark
from Division street fixed the total
value at $500. The city will deposit
this sum with the clerk of circuit
court whereupon the city gets the
property regardless of the right to ap-
peal from the award which the owners
have. The property of seven owners
is involved In only two cases were
benefits assessed against premises. In
one of them the damages awarded
exactly Offset the benefits and in the
other the damages exceeded the bene-
fits by $3.50. These benefits and dam
ages are in addition to the value of
the property taken. This improvement
will open Twelfth street from Division
to Phillipen street and give the terri
tory south another needed outlet to the
downtown section.
The commissioners were Henry Wer-
necke and John Kellner of Mantowoc
and Peter Schroeder of Two Rivers.

GOODRICH FLEET GETS ADDITION

The Goodrich Company has acquired
the steamers Illinois and Pilgrim of the
Chicago, Racine and Milwaukee line
and the boats win be added to the
Goodrich fleet 1t has been the gen
eral impression for some time that the
Goodrich people would worl, back to
pre-war conditions and the addition Of
these two ships points that way al
though it was given out that there
would be but little additional service
along the west shore down this way
this spring but that eventually there
would be a semblance of old freight
service from between here and Mil
waukee. If both these boats are put
into commission the Goodrich feet will
have nine boats; Christopher Columbus,
Georgia, Florida, Carolina, Arizona,
Indiana, Alabama, Illinois and Pilgrim.

NIGHT PROWLER AGITATION

This week petitions were in circula-
dion among women of the city protest
ing against police inaction in regard
to the apprehension of the man who
has been molesting women nights. 1t
is asserted that the indentity of the
man is known and that the miscreant
is not the young man who was gener-
ally believed to be the guilty person.
The school teacher who was twice
molested identified the man and the
police know who he is. On behalf of
the police it is said that they up to
yesterday asserted that they did not
have sufficient information to warrant
taking anyone into custody and that
rumors and popular hysteria would
not justify their putting odum on an
individual against whom they did not
have testimony sufficient to convict, or
words to that effect. One of the bur
dens of every police department is to
bear without resentment a lot of un-
jnstihable criticism, although this is
perhaps In some cases largely Offset by
some they deserve and do not get.

FAIR BOOKS CARNIVAL

Fred 1orcherdt, Jr has closed deal
for the appearance here at the county
fair next summer of "The Mighty Doris
Exposition Shows, while this title is
the usual circus literatule hyperbole
the carnival is one of the bet of its
kind on the road and the secretary was
glad to be able to land it as an attrac-
ton
1t includes all the usual carnival at
fractions to which local people are ac-
customed and several more. There is
an operate concert band and a jazz
band and orchestra. No Objectionable
shows are tolerated The outfit tavelS
in a train of twenty-five double length
cars and there are fifty circus wagons.
All in all it is not likely that patrons
will be lonesome for any of the feat
ures that seem to have become a fix
ture of fairs in recent years.

TRAINING SCHOOL WORK BEGUN

Work was commenced this week in
clearing the ground preparatory to the
actual construction work on the new
County Training School for Teachers
on Michigan Avenue, east of Eigh-
teenth street. The present work con-
sists of blasting out the stumps that
still dot the site, the last reminders of
the fine grove that was the scene of
many a school picnic years ago. FIX
cayation and foundation work will be
begun by the contractor Frank Nemetz
of Denmark as soon as the ground is
cleared and there is every prospect
that the work will be completed for
the opening of school next fall The
architects, JuuL Smith and Reynolds
will supervise the construction.

Every school should have Ii
brary," says Sherman Williams in a
recent issue of the Journal of Edu-
cation. He goes on to say that Each
school should train pupils to love to
read that which is worth while, to sup
plement their school studies by the use
of books other than textbooks, to use
reference books easily and effectively,
to use intelligently both the school Ii
brary and a public library.
"The school system that does not
make liberal provisions for training in
the use of Libraries fails to do its full
duty in the way of offering to all our
citizens chance to secure at least a
fair education and to be able to enter
upon the work of life with a more
nearly equal chance with those who
have had better educational opportu-
mites"

rian church parlors the Monday Music
club held its seventh monthly com
munity social. There we're sixty-seven
guests present There was fine pro-
gram followed by refreshments. The
socials are declared to be complete
success. In the program were included
solo by Miss Winifred Healy, piano
solos by Misses Ethel Rahr and Madge
Barnes and dances by Misses Dorothy
Dick and Janet Shaw. The little folk

The amendment to the City Charter,
which has been passed by the legisla-
ture, is simply the bill introduced by
Senator Schmidt, and authorizes the
City Board, upon the petition of the
resident owners of any four adjacent
blocks in the city, to build or construct
cisterns or reservoirs for the use of the
Fire Department, the expense attend
ing the same to be levied upon the
property so benefited, which in our
judgment is wise amendment, and
should have been made long time ago,
instead of squandering three thousand
dollars in boring artesian wells.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

Edward Wood, bartender for Mrs.
Carpenter, at the Commercial street
place, pleaded guilty to bootlegging
and was fined $3.50 and costs which he
paid. Wood had never been arrested
before and appeared to be repentent'
1t seems to be just impossible to re-
frain from selling booze there. When
ever the police want to make clean
up they go over there from force OF
habit and gather in the bartender The
place has had quite a history during
the past thirty years or more.
The proprietor of the Green Bay
house, George Denault, was not so
complaiSant. He told them to go
ahead and prove it and demanded a
jury trial in the county in a prohibit
ton case Two former girl employees
testified that they had seen whiskey
sold there and Albert Mundt testified
that he had bought drink there. The
proprietor denied all this and Henry
Greenwood, an alleged customer de-
MED having ever bought whiskey there
in prohibition times The jury was out
three hours and returned a verdict of
mot guilty" One man was excused
and the jury was made up of Edward
KesSelhohn, Anton Karnofsky, Charles
Plantico Sr, Julius Dahm, and Will
liam Bertler.
Tuesday Fred Bregge, proprietor of
the American Restaurant in the river
block on South Eighth street, faced a
jury in municipal court on a charge of
selling whiskey at the place. The room
was crowded all day. He was fined
5000 some months ago on a plea of
guilty to a similar charge and evident
ly decided to be SHOWN" this time.
One or more of the states witnesses
suffered severe lapses in memory since
being interviewed by the district attor-
ney some days before and the district
attorney repeatedly scored what he as
serted was tampering with the wit
nesSeS, although expressly generating
opposing counsel The state proSecut-
ing witnesses were man from
Cato who stated that he had been on a
carous at the place recently and spent
a lot of money there for moonshine,
and Charles Fay l6 year old wan
derer from Michigan who formerly
worked at the place and who described
in detail the alleged traffic in moon
shine.
The defendant and some other wit
.ieSses denied the whole thing The
trial occupied all day and was in
terspersed with frequent exchanges
between counsel to the enjoy
ment of the capacity audience. The
jury was composed of Anton Dufek,
Charles Heise, Sr., A. Lutz, August
Mahnke and c. Schmalfeldt.
The jury was out a half hour and
returned a verdict of mot guilty" to
each of the two charges alleged.

School Laws

Questions come from time to time u
this Office concerning various scnooi
laws, The following has been discussed
at the School Board Convention, but
had been asked for many times since.
Has a school board member a lega
right to be paid district money (outsidc
his regular salary for doing work for
the district? May school board mem.
ber sell wood to the district?
Because the state laws do not give
definite information concerning this, the
State Superintendent Of Schools was
asked to give a clear and concise state
ment that would cover the rules of the
courts as well as the regular state law.
The following answer was received:
"A member Of school board under
our present statute may sell wood, lum-
ber or some other material to the school
district in an amount not to exceed
Sl0O Fuel and other material is con-
sidered commodity because it can be
bought and sold or transferred from in
dividual to individual.
The supreme court Of the Unitec
States has held that labor is not a com
modify and consequently while an in
dividual may sell material to tn,
amount of 800 to the district he canno
render an equivalent in labor.

Hon Joseph Rankin, Assemblyman,
arrived by boat yesterday, leaving
Madison Tuesday forenoon.

Hon, Joseph Villas, our indefatigable
President, returned home from the
East on Saturday last, in good health
and spirits, after a somewhat pro-
longed trip AS an earnest for our
railroads, he has purchased ten new 10
comotiye engines, two to be delivered
in the month of June, and eight more
to be delivered monthly thereafter, as
needed, and four new frst-class pas
senger coaches, complete; also, the
castings, and all iron work, complete,
for fifty box cars, seyenty-five fiat
cars, and twenty-five dump cars, to be
shipped in three shipments in the
months of May, June and September
next. The wood work will be manu-
factured here, and at Sheboygan which,
together with the fifty fiat cars already
on hand, viii equip our two roads in
pretty good shape for the present, and
consoles us with patient assurance that,
after long and patient waiting, we will
soon be able to leave Manitowoc for
the South or West by rail in as good a
turnout as any other young city of our
state.
