Board of Supervisors Max
ing Annual Road Inspec-
ton Trip Today.
ACCEPT COURTHOUSE
Accept Report of Building
Committee But Set No
Date for Opening.

Inspection of the roads of Kenosha
county was the business before the
county board of Supervisors today. In
making this inspection the board to-
gether with Highway Commissioner
John F. Herzog and other county Off
Gals made its annual jaunt over the
roads of the county, visiting particu-
larly the new paved highways which
have been completed or are under con-
struction this season. The tour of in
spection will take the entire day, in
GLIDING dinner somewhere in the
county, probably at Twin Lakes.
At the special Meeting of the county
board on Tuesday afternoon the re-
port of the building committee for the
new courthouse was accepted. This
includes the acceptance of the build
ing with the exception of all extras
which are to be considered at later
date. The acceptance of the report
was voted unanimously after an in
spection of the building.
The board has not yet acted def
nitely on setting the date for the OPP
ening of the new courthouse awaiting
the outcome of a conference with the
contractors. Monday is being consid-
cred as a possibility although it is
also probable that the date will be
somewhat later in the week.
Meanwhile the board is making
preparations for the great day. 1t
was voted unanimously to send invi-
tations to the members of former
county boards who had any part in
preparing for the erection of the new
courthouse to attend the opening cere-
monies. Also the city council, the city
school board and school boards of the
various towns of the county and all
county officials are to be asked to at
tended to the members of the Racine
ended to the members of the Racine
county board to attend the opening.
Register of Deeds John F. Schmitt
appeared before the board on Tues
day afternoon and presented plan
for purchasing a machine which would
make photostatic copies of all instru-
ments left for recording. This would
greatly decrease the copying work
done in this Office. It is the plan
which is used in many of the larger
cities of the country and has proven
most successful. The board voted to
authorize the register of deeds to
proceed with mis- negotiation for such
equipment with power to act.

Policeman Dog under his breath that
blew from his nostrils into a misty
frozen cloud as he ran swiftly along.
"The old weasel's front door ought
to be about here" he thought, stop
ping suddenly to crouch behind

out of his MOUTH beg pardon, no
sooner had the thought come to him
than he spied the fur cap OF the old
weasel. The next minute he came
out Of the crevice in the stone wall,
slowly and carefully, looking here
and looking there to make sure no
one was about. Then off he ran,
keeping close to the wall, toward the
Farmyard.

sure he does no harm. Wonder
what the old rascal has done with
Uncle Lucky's coat?" Strange to say
the Policeman Dog hadn't noticed
that Old Man Weasel was carrying

Keeping we'll in the rear, the
Policeman Dog followed the old
weasel's footprints in the snow until,
pretty soon, not so very long, the
Iarmyard came into view.

Policeman Dog as he paused behind
the haystack by the Big Red Barn.
Just then the Weathercock on the
roof wheeled about on his gilded
toe and pointed to the henhouse.
Goodness me! Wasn't the Police
man Dog surprised to see Old Man
Weasel slipping on dear Uncle
Lucky's coat. Well, I guess he was.
What is he going to do?" thought
the Policeman Dog, slowly edging
around the side of the Haystack.
But even before he could answer
himself Old Man Weasel tapped
gently on the Henhouse door and
said:
"Open the door. Your nice old
Uncle Lucky's out here in the cold"
The next minute Cocky Doodle
looked out of the little window above
the door. and in the next story you

Baltimore is large city with an

The "Invasion" Of Haiti
iva 4, L., ytA, p1ctN


There have been periodic gusts of
criticism against the occupation of
Haiti by the United States. When
American marines took over the
island in 1915 conditions We're fast
relapsing into savagery in the in
! terror country, while on the coast
the breakdown of the native govern
ment left the population open to a
reign Of terror. The United States
authorities first restored order and
made it safe for an unarmed person
to appear in public. BY vigorous
rule they instilled something of re-
spect for person and property into
the better class Haitian.
They then invited the native Of
fcials from the old regime to sit in
with them while they organized a
government. They passed laws and
explained to the Haitians what
these meant. They built. or helped
to build schools. They established
hospitals and taught native doctors"
I the principles of medicine and sur
gerry. They built roads into the
wilderness of the interior and
routed out the bloodthirsty bandits
which haunted the forests. They
sterilized pest districts and disin
fected polluted waters. They set
y q
the unheard- of system of drainage.
They took over the native con-
stabulary, drilled it, armed it and
organized it into an effective mill
tary body with Il patriotic morale.
They preached through it the neces-
sity that Haitians should love their
country, obey their government and
protect helpless foreigners
Finally they reorganized the
finance and commerce of the Island
and in eight years reduced the pub
| lie debt from S32 100000 to $4,000
600, or over million year. They
leave $1,:06,S56 in the national
treasury, sum inspiring both pride
, and respect.
Should the United States have
done all this or not? There can he
no doubt about it. Under the obi
/ cations of the Monroe Doctrine. sup
plemented by the Root corollary
wherein this government formally
recognized the duty to remove condi-
tions in Latin America which might
, give cause for European interven-
ton. this country faced an unescap-
/ able task. In fulfilling its mission it
has incurred both loss of life and
millions of dollars. 1t leaves. in re-
turn. n stable government in the
Island Republic and a people con-
! scious for the first time of the bene-
fits of civilization and self-respect.

WHAT WE MAY EXPECT

Here, from the Daily Worker,
Communist publication. one may
md what to expect from those who
govern Russia today:
1T is necessary that the youth
enter the capitalistic armies with
an inward determination to direct
their arms not against their
brother proletarians but against
their class enemy, the bourgeoisle
We must maintain a close connec-
ton with the barracks. We must
see that the word Of truth reaches
every soldier. We must establish a
revolutionary organization on an
iron foundation from the most
courageous and devoted Of the
proletarian fighters. We must
direct our attention to the military
factories. In each Of these there
must be a strong militant nucleus,
which will be capable at the decisive
moment Of carrying with them all
the working masses.
The bourgeoisie fear neither
pacif1st preaching nor the Social
Democrat threat Of a general strike.
But the bourgeoisie tremble with
hatred and fear at the news OF
formation of each little illegal nuclei
on the railroads, in the military
factories and especially in the army
and fleet. The bourgeoisie know
that a small but strong nucleus In
each regiment may play a decisive
role at the decisive moment"
Such are the kind Of people with
whom we are to have diplomatic
relations If Senator Borah, Senate
chairman of the Foreign Affairs
committee, has his way.
