A SHAME TO TWO STATES

The governor of Illinois is planning to make
campaign for reelection on the slogan, 'Look
at the roads / have built and am going to
build. The governor of Wisconsin refers
with pardonable pride to 'The splendid road
building program which has been carried out
under my administration, but if these two
highly touted executives should seek to meet
on the state line between Wisconsin and Illi-
nois along Kenosha county, their inner cavi-
ties would proably be so shaken by travelling
Dver that state line road that they wouldn't
speak to each other when the meeting came
The state line road connecting two great
paved highWays-the Sheridan road and the
KIlbourn roads to the best of our knowl-
edge and belief the worst road in Kenosha
county. We would be willing to wager that
there is not a much worse road to be found in
Lake county or in Illinois outside of Egypt
where they have not as yet learned that a good
road is worth while investment
We are aware of the fact that politically in
cilned governors and politically handled road
departments would prefer to improve S roads.
with voters living on both sides of them but it
does seem that state pride-two kinds of it
would suggest that one good common road
way be built between the two states.
This road properly improved would be of
great value in speeding up traffic and it would
AID IN taking the burden off the Sheridan road
TO considerable extent It would probably
cost hundred thousand dollars to pave it.
TINS would mean something like fifty thousand
iooliars~ Tor each state and the amount is de-
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1923-08-23

cidedly small as compared with the millions
spent for roads.
This road in dry weather is well nigh i'm
passable and in wet weather it is impossible
for traffic. At present it appears to show no
indication of road scraper ever having work
ed on it and if it is under care of patrol men
the men should be fired as incompetent.
If there can be no agreement reached be
tween the states for the paving OF this road
there should be at least some agreement which
would provide for putting enough gravel on it
to make it passable.
It's the shame of two great states that this
road should remain in it's present condition
The highway commission of Wisconsin can
start something by requesting the highway
of Illinois to join with it in the i'm
proving of the road 1t is pretty certain that
the towns concerned in the expenditures would
be willing to do their part.

Being Up-to-DGte

London newspapers have contained
manv articles of late about things that
are better done in America, and es-
pecially in New York than they are
here. Englishmen have been told in
effect by the writers of these articles
that they should not consider them
selves properly educated until they
have been to America and found out
how much they don't know.
And now, by way of contrast, it
would seem, an American business
man, w. S. Ashby, tells in the Daily
Chronicle of various things he has
seen in London which are much bet
ter done than in New York. Especial
ly does he commend the handling of
the street traffic in London as COM
pared with New York's way of doing
the same thing.
Calls London "Quiet."
"The first thing to impress one on
arriving from New York" he said, IFS
the quiet and absence of hurry. At
first thought one might surnise that
the English are slow and we have had
enough reports to that effect to war;
rant our thinking so. ~
"But first impressions, while vivid,
are wrong. -
"Thereis an absence Of hustle and
noise, but no appreciable sacrifice of
speed.
cat the crossing there is no shrill-
ing of traffic officers whistles, no
banking of pedestrians on the curb, no
stopping of vehicular traffic for blocks.
Nice Things About Cops.
"The traffic officer is in the midst of
it all and is busy every moment. He
stands there, calm, deliberate, almost
in a detached sort of way, but there is
precious little that misses his eye.
Instead of holding up traffic at long
intervals, the officer seems to keep it
moving along in all directions at once,
and at many of London's corners the
all directions is we'll used, for streets
radiate in several directions. He directs
traffic, rather than stops it and starts
it,;
"And here is another thing about
the English-their courtesy. They are
anxious to help and please and thank
YOU are frequently used words in the
language.
English Are More Courteous"
"The bus conductor thanks you for
your fare, the waiter thanks you for
your tip, the lift man thanks you when
YOU give him the Number of your floor.
"The London policeman knows his
London and directs you promptly, po-
litely, and accurately, without waste of
words.
"The Londoner does not push,
crowd or hustle, but he knows where
he is going and will gladly help you
get where you axe ging in an orderly,
comfortable and quick way.
$50 if one were to check up on the
question I would say that for all the
Londoner's apparent deliberation. he
is moving towards his. destination as
quickly as any New Yorker, and MAX
ing far less hubbub about it.
at is this quiet efficiency that is
misleading, and is so often mistaken
for slowness."

Some people up in Racine seem to fear that
they will not get full credit for some of the
things they do to advance that city. It,s-been
our experience that the man or the institution
which really serves a city does not need wor-
ry over credit" The people are not entire
ly forgetful and they usually give credit where
credit due. The man who goes out looking
for credit is usually the fellow least deserving
of it.

,
Parents, in the good old times were
disappointed if whooping cough, meas
les, mumps and scarlet fever were not
cover with" cutie early in life, as they
expressed it.
Now we are all trying every known
prevention of the dread diseases. We
are growing to feel that having to
endure these child dasgoyers is non
sense and keeping rid Of them is our
chief concern,
Scarlet fever is perhaps the worst
of these dread visitors, not only in
itself but also in the terrible and
disabling after effects in the eyes,
ears, heart and kidneys of it's little
victims.
The catching period or time of
incubation is from one to six or
seven days. 1t comes on quickly
and no warning is given until the first
symptoms appear.
Catching Period.
1t is now agreed that this early
stage, and not the period of peelings
lis the real dangerous time of Catch
ing, Early isolation of the patient
is the only safe means Of preventing
further spreading.
The beginning fever is usually
high, running well above 100 de-
grees the first day - in extreme
cases as hieh as 105 degrees. The
face is flushed, hot and painful. Von-
iting is the other beginning symptom.
TIE mouth and throat are dry and sore
accompanied by swollen tonsils. The
mucous membrane and the tongue are
red, rough and swollen.
The rash, or real symptom, then ap-
pears, first showing on the lower neck
and chest. 1t does not last longer than
four or five days. The redness and
itching gradually disappear in from
eight to twelve days in most cases.
Precautions.
The result is a rough, dry and al
most lifeless skin, which soon after
the fevre is gone, begins to peel or
flake off. This desQuamation or peling
process may last two or three weeks.
BE careful to isolate the patient for
month at least. Do not attempt to
treat any case Nof scarlet fever with
home remedies - physician and care
full nursing must be maintained at all
times.

KEEPING Externally AT 1T.

We have M desime to examine tie teeth of a
rift horse hit at the same time we do not be-
iieve that the people of Kenosha should accept
sugar roll in lieu of a loaf of bread Fnere
is a feeling of thankfulness toward the WIS
consin Gas and Electric company for It's Volun-
tary action to Iop off some $4,000 OF the cost
of gas for the people of Racine and Kenosha
1t is possible and even probable that the com
uany has stated the full facts in regard to its
business in the announcement OF this cut IN
the cost of gas We want the company to be
able to earn a reasonable return on every dol
lar invested because we appreciate the tact
that a public utility company which is not
earning is very liable to be forgetful OF service
The live and let live policy must be used IN
dealing with the utility company but there
must be some of the "live" end of it consider
ed The manager of the company is rather
insistent in referring to the eight per cent
earnings on the gas utility and while it may be
that under the rules of the game as played by
utilities every feature of them must stand on
their own footings it must be remembered that
this company has whole flock of utilities OPP
Grating along the lake shore and that it you'd
be interesting to know the net result OF the
operations Kenosha does not want Cudahy,
Racine or South Milwaukee to pay it's gas bills
and it does not want to pay higher rate in
maintained in any of these. places
The reduced prices for fuel is givenI as the
immediate cause for the reduction of the gas
rate. 1t is just possible that the same reduc-
ton in fuel costs might serve to bring reduc
ton in the electric rate.
We believe that these questions should con-
tinue to be the study of the municipal authori-
ties and that these authorities should be just
as well posted on the earnings and lack of
earnings of the company as the stockholders
The company can not hold back these figures
and it will be an easy matter for the city to
secure them The shout of the customer for
a reduced rate is not always one that can be
heard Fair rates are based on fair figures
but it is just possible that the city officials
might hurry up things little if they Kept in
a little closer touch with the business of the
company Holding up reduction in rates for
a month means the loss of lot of money to
the people of Kenosha.
The question of utility rates should be one
which is under the regular direction of some
regularly appointed body of the city govern
ment and it should be, called for consideration
just the same as the departmental claims
or sewers and paving" One way to make it
easier for the people to pay city taxes is to
make it easier for them to pay for the service
of utility companies
We believe that frequent conferences be-
tween the officials of the utility company and
the city officials should be held with view of
having the two organizations working in con-
slant harmony with view of giving the Aeo-
pie of the>city utility service at the lowest pos
sible rate in keeping with the rendering of
service which will be satisfactory to the peo-
pie y
