is increasing her population at rate of
perhaps 1000 per month. In the year in

YOU AND YOUR OFFICIALS.

Just seven days remain in which to make up
the list of nominations of men for office to
direct the affairs of the city of Kenosha for
the coming two years
People in the city are showing the usual lack
of interest in who spends their money. The
don't care spirit appears to be even more pro-
nounced than in some former years. With
some thirty officials to be elected on the first
Tuesday in April, and presumably twice as
many candidates to be nominated at the pri-
maries the latter part of this month, just
fourteen petitions for nominations have been
taken out.
It is apparent that there is no intelligent
united movement in Kenosha to provide for
better and more suitable officials of the city.
At the last minute, two or three people will be
Topping about like chickens with their heads
cut off trying to Fill up the ticket" Some
places on the ticket will probably not be filled
for there is limit to the Hopping of chickens
with their heads cut off
"Just filing the ticket" is the greatest draw
back of city administrations. These filters
in" will have the same right to vote and the
same power to decide big public questions as
men who have seriously considered public SER
vice and who have sought office with a view
of improving it. The filler in" is real men
ace and there is still time to prevent this kind
of candidates being about the only candidates
on the ticket
If the city is to be served by competent men
and women, these people must be placed on
the primary ballots The best men and women
for public office are not always the candidates
most anxious to get on the ticket. Some of
these people are ready to serve but they are
unwilling to urge their own candidacy for Of
flee. The real duty of the interested citizen is
to seek out these worthwhile people and see
to it that their names are on the primary bal
lot. There should be intelligent consideration
of this question during the present week. Lead
ers in the wards of the city should hold con-
ferences and select candidates, and then see
to it that petitions for their nomination are
circulated and filed.
If the people of the city are really interested
in the kind of government that Kenosha is to
have in the next two years, this week is the
time to make this interest count. There will
be nothing gained by kicking after the pri-
maries have been held and the best possible
way to dispose Of poor candidate for office is
to see that he is defeated at the primary cleo
ton by someone worthy of the public trust
that public Office suggests.

Daily Health Hint
SEEING THE DOCTOR.

After Mr.. and Mrs. Mann decided
that they would have a physical ex-
animation made the coming Saturday
afternoon, Mrs. Mann spent the two
intervening days in wondering just
what the doctor would find wrong.
At times she had been sure she was
suffering from some kind of heart
trouble. And every time she read of
person dropping dead she was
seized with vague uneasiness.
Now she was going down to see the
doctor, and learn the worst. The
thought almost frightened her.
And her husband, too. What would
she do if the doctor, after an exami-
nation, should tell him that he had
but one year to live?
She had heard of doctors giving
such messages as that. 1t had never
seemed that she, herself, would be
told about her husband, not for a long,
long time at least.
But there were the Joneses, friends
of Mrs. Mann, who lived over on
CHEEKY street. For the last five years
they had the doctor look them over
every year.
They seemed proud of it. Every
time the two families got together,
Mrs. Jones would tell what the doc
tor said.
"Well, some folk are just that
way" she mumbled to herself. eff
the doctor tells them they have APP
pendicitis they want it published in
the papers"

TIME TO START SHOOTING.

It's time to start shooting in Kenosha. Up
at the police office there should be posted this
order: "A bonus of $500 will be paid to any
member of the force who shoots hold-up man
or a burglar"
We are not blood thirsty and we do not want
to take any unfair advantage of the gentry
which lives off the earnings of others, but we
are convinced that the best possible way to
put an end to this furry of robberies by gun
men in Kenosha, is to have coroner's inquest
over a couple of these leeches on society.
Four times in a few weeks Kenosha people
have been ordered to "stick EN- up and visit
ing gunner have gone out of the city carry
ing several thousand dollars in loot It's just
the expected happening. Kenosha has been
warned before that lack of law enforcement
and the consequent development of disre-
spect for law would prove an invitation to the
gunner and the bandit to ply his trade here.
Now that we are in for these visits we should
make provisions to meet the visitors and give
them little entertainment of the kind thew
are accustomed to. 1t is inhospitable on the
part of the officials of Kenosha to meet these
fellows with anything but bullets Cold lead
is something that these men understand and
respect and they understand nothing else and
respect nothing else.
The triggers of official and unofficial pistols
should be oiled up and eased up so that they
will work with rapidity and precision. Police
officers should be told that one of these bandits
dead is worth hundred of them getting over
the state line with Kenosha money
The era of crime is just starting in Keno
sha, and death to some of the bandits is the
only thing that will nip it in the bud If there
is not something done to put an end to these
gunmen's operations in Kenosha the CITY is
going to pay heavy penalty of blood and
treasure. The visiting gunner have been en-
tirely toe successful in Kenosha We have
yet to catch one and bring him to trial and the
only hope is to stop one, and keep him here
without bringing him to trial There is plenty
of room in the potter's field in Kenosha for the
burial of several visiting gunner and they
will be safer there-a lot safer

Fines Now for eJaxwalkers. 2

There are two ways to cure things,
one by machinery and the other by
people.
Engineers rack their brains for
mechanical solutions of the traffic
problem.
Now comes Los Angeles, and, hav-
ing exhausted everything that me-
chanics could do, begins on people.
Foot passengers as well as vehi-
cles have to obey the traffic signals.
"Jay walking" or even crossing at the
street intersections when the traffic
is moving the other way, are prohi-
bited.
They enforce it, too. Leave the
curb before the whistle blows, and
you are promptly yanked back and
fined SIS.
It has speeded up traffic immensely.
Perhaps even more important, it will
make of the Angelenos disciplined
people.
A little training will drill almost
anybody to march; but few Of US have
