%% l.m-m-mmu.m&um Tiinois, under Act of March 3, 1879. Issued That uniform traffic laws are necessary in the lorty--el1@gNL states of the Union is a fact that is doubted only by those who are blind to the advantages of systematic and nationwide regulation of automobile travel. For the last: few years a National Traffic Commission, under the general direction of Secretary of Commerce Hoover, has been holding annual ses-- sions for the purpose of mapping out a traffic law code. It has outlined a plan which it will place before the Legislatures of the various states. Since this uniform code would eliminate much of the trouble that now faces the motorist, it is to be hoped that the states will look favorably upon it. Having been unanimously appointed by the Lake County' * board of supervisors to fill the position left vacant through the resignation of Roy Bracher, former county treasurer, Jay Morse, who has been/chief clerk in the county clerk's office for many years, is the new guardian of the county's funds. "Knowing Mr. Morse to be a conscientious and hard--working public servant, we have the greatest confidence that he will prove worthy of the responsibility laid upon him. A word of congratulation to the effect that we wish Mr. 'Morse as much success as his predecessors would be §ronic 'indeed, for in the past twenty--five years only one county tréasurer has escaped official probing. Coming on the heels of the recent investigation and grand jury action, the present 'period ought to be one of fair and open dealing. At least we --hope that no more of our officials will have--to=b& chaperoned 'by the state's attorney. 2 gn~ > Waukegan motorists who do much traveling in Wisconsin point with envy to some of the sensible regulations that have become laws in our neighboring state, now that Gov. Zimmer-- man has signed the traffic bill. Most of the regulations were recommended by the National Traffic Commission and may become part of the Tllinois code as soon as the state legislature finds time to consider their merits. Among the changes which the Wisconsin bill provides are the following: Not more than three persons may ride in the driver's seat of an automobile; stickers on windshields are pro-- hibited unless permitted by law ; muffler cutouts and spark plug whistles are prohibited ; the speed of trucks is increased 10 miles an hour ; trucks on open highways must be more than 100 feet apart ; railroad crossing signs must conform to the Federal type, which has a yellow instead of a white background. If these changes are adopted all over the country, We are sure that the heavy toll of dead and injured will be materially reduced. FOOD FOR THE SPECULATORS "The recent famous utterance of President Coolidge, "I do not choose to run for President in 1928," although possible to be interpreted in two or more ways, has thrown the political eamps into turmoil. In place of the relative calm that has pre-- vailed in the Republican group, despite the minor disturbances created by the backers of "favorite sons," there has come a period of intense activity. The race has become a free--for--all, for with Calvin out of the running, half a dozen other men have about an equal chance for the presidency. That Coolidge can have the Republican nomination anytime he wishes it, even after his enigmatical statement, is taken for granted by those familiar with the political situation. How-- ever, if the New England meaning of "do not choose" is a firm refusal, the other candidates may take hope and start organiz-- ing their forces. Some have it that President Coolidge wishes to shift the blame for a third term on the people. Knowing that the Washington tradition still plays a large part in the actions of the voters, he has let the man on the street decide whether the old tradition is to be discarded. If this inter-- pretation of his message is the right one, we have little doubt that Coolidge will be elected again, regardless of all that Washington did and said. aNi cz io -- * With the Republican race a free--for--all, assuming that the President will not run, the spotlight is focussed on four out-- standing men, two of whom are from Illinois. Former Gov. Frank 0. Lowden, who has a strong following among the farm-- ing class, is first in the field. Then comes Secretary of Com-- merce Herbert Hoover, whose valuable services to the present administration have won him much strength. After these two leaders come Vice President Charles A. Dawes, whose strongest point is his personality; and Congressman Longworth, a favorite of the conservative Old Guard. And then, of course, there are more or less colorful men whose strength is confined to the districts in which they were born and raised. To them, however, not much attention will be paid unless a deadlock eccurs among the big ones. In proportion to one's conmsideration of the many opinions of the politically wise grows one's bewilderment. That a simple message of ten words should be so ambiguous as to cause a hundred different speculations is the proof of the complexity of our political system. No two men agree on the meaning, effect, and future results of the sentence beginning, "I do not In lllinois the withdrawal of Coolidge will probably result in election of uninstructed delegates. Lowden will most Ikze have some instructed delegates, as will Dawes, but meither will sweep the election. Until next June and the Republican convention arrive, we shall have to git tight and hope for the best. Not much has been heard of the corn borer in the past few weeks, but the lack of publicity does not mean that the insect' is not keeping up his deadly work. The corn borer is one bug that works just as fast without a writeup as with one.

Another reason why boys and girls leave the farm may be that in the city they can cross the road under the shelter of a trafféc policeman. Since prohibition came it has been harder to find something on which to lay men's downfall, and yet they are downfalling about as often as ever.
