CIVIC MUSIC ASSOCIATION.

CIVIC MUSIC ASSOCIATION.
The annual meeting of the Kenosha Civic
Music association at the council chamber in
Hhe city hall this evening, should be largely at
tended There is really no citizen Of Kenosha
who is not vitality interested in the work of
this association, and none who can afford to
let it go without full support and cooperation
Of course it's work will be attended to by those
who respond to the call, but the larger the re-
Spouse, the more representative of the COM
munity spirit and more fitted to the commun-
ity needs will be the work of the association.
Community art is something that it is very
easy to overdo in a number OF directions.
Artists are temperamental, and art devotees
are apt to be ddactic. Editors may have their
crotchets, and express them freely without
serious harm. Nobody ever takes them seri-
ously enough to let them interfere with their
regular habits in life. But it is different with
the community music. It will interfere with
our regular habits in life, whether we will or
not. If the destines of the association fall in
to the hands of those whose views Of music are
artistically sound, but popularity impracticable,
the community will not be greatly benefited
nor the association greatly advanced. Unless
the reasonable musical desires of the COM
munity are authoritatively expressed, they
must be interpreted as best they may be, and
that Interpretation may OF may not always be
accurate.
The music of a community, to be of value
in the community life, must be within the COM
Iprehension of the community, and must also
supply entertainment as we'll as education. We
are sure anyone who may be placed in charge
of the work of the Civic Association for the
coming year will appreciate that, and it is not
for their benefit that we make the observation
But, how are they going to know what manner
of music the community wants and what it
needs, unless they get some concrete express
sion from those who are to be served by the
activities of the association?
We will have this year good symphony
orchestra What is it to play for us? Not
all Bach we hope. And not all Berlin, we are
sure. And not even all Herbert. But how
much Bach; how much, if any Berlin; how
much Herbert? We are sure the best judg-
fnent of those in charge of the association will
give us the best possible result, but we are al
so sure that they would cordially welcome the
cooperation of all who are interested in the
advancement of the community in determin-
ing these questions. Are we to have COM
munity sings? Are we to have choral
society? Are we to have band concerts The
Civic Music association will answer all these
questions, but we are sure they will be the bet
ter and the easier answered in proportion to
association It will all be done, but be sure that
your part is DONE

suit III almost anything is to let George do it.

Many babies die shortly after birth.
If few babies are born, fewer still die,

Either Way Hard On Congressman.

Either Way Hard On Congressman.
One more federal court has sus-
tanned the legality Of the publication
of income tax returns. The final word
will have to be spoken by the supreme
court, but its decision, if it finds that
the information may be given out, will
doubtless also include the right Of the
newspapers to print it.
If any citizen has the right of ac-
cess to the rolls, the, newspaper re-
porter is included. And whatever in
formation the public has the right to
receive, the newspaper has the right
to print.
The real calamity will be to Con-
gress, which will then have to take
the responsibility which it chronically
seeks to escape. Congress either
wants these lists published in the
newspapers, of it does not If it does,
it must accept the responsibility, in

congressman's most influential" con-
stitutents.
If it does not, it must repeal the
law, and take the consequences, in

numerous constituents that their con-
gresham is Shielding the rich
Either way, it is hard on the poor

RoWell Says
Bv CHEsTER H. RoWELL


S'Keep the peace, or pay your own
bills for breaking it." This is the gist
of Ambassador Houghton's obviously
authorized warning to Europe. Even
more significant is his demand that
the nations credit each other with
good faith.
Permanent peace can come only in
one way: it must be based upon an
assumption of the good faith of all
who participate in it."
+ This is notice to France to reverse
It's present attitude, or else pay the
cost of it's barricades of suspicion.
After all, if America is to be the
banker Of the world, we might as we'll
exercise the bankers privilege. In
fact, we have been doing so for some
time, through private channels.
The channels are still to be private.
The credit which Europe is to get or
not to get is private credit, from
American investors.
But, if a part of the security of
that credit is the public policies Of
Europe, it is we'll that the government
take the responsibility of stating our
attitude toward those policies. Mr..
Houghton's speech is the announce
ment that this has been done.
If the European nations will unite
for peace, on the basis of mutual good
faith, their credit in America for the
necessary funds will be good If they
insist that they can not trust each
other, neither will America trust
them for the weapons of their mutual
distrust.
They can do as they please-but
not with our money.

FRANK r.. WHlTMORE.
Died for France.

Frank E. Whitmore among others.
Whitmore, an Ellsworth boy, then
living in Virginia, was one of the first
Americans to enlist for service with
the French army before this country
entered the war. He was killed in
the Champagne on April II, 1917. A
comrade, writing of him soon after

Whitmore was killed on the first day
of the legions latest battle. He died
most heroic death. Whitmore was one
of the gamest fighters that ever
crossed over from the states. can
truthfully say that he never knew what
danger was That is why, to-day, he
sleeps peacefully in a little grave with
the colonel of the legion.
IF Whitmore had not been the game
man he was he would to-day have
been in the hospital instead of in the
grave. He went out on the morning
of the 18th and was soon hit by shell
fragment. He went back to the dress
ing station and had his head bandaGed,
and returned for more fight. He had
not been long in the fray before
another shell exploded near by, killing
him instantly. Our great leader, Lieut..
Col. Jean Duriez, was also killed that
morning Whitmore was laid in a
grave beside his colombian honor he
well deserved.
IN the battle of the Somme last
summer Whitmore was wounded twice
in one day, but would not leave the
battle field until his arm became stiff
and he could not throw grenades. For
his courage he was decorated with the
war cross.
The members Of the Ellsworth
post of the American Legion, who

die in the World war by adopting his
name, greatly appreciate the thought

many have tl$ed to solve the riddle
of the fate of the lost tribes Of Israel.
While the historian should be cautious
about allowing any such connection II
is now admitted that such an occur

imnossible. The unusual custom
which the diaries of early voYagprs
have set down for us of the worship by
certain Indians Of empty boxes whose
power they could not explain beyond
the fact that their ancestors had been
wont to do reverence in the same way,
had led some to trace connection be-
tween this crude custom and the
original Ark of the Covenant.
SO Of building many theories on the
subject there Is no end. But there
can be no doubt of the reality Of the
