In business or pleasure, a laugh is as hungrily sought as any-- thing else that may be on the program. The business of living is Involved in so many worries and hardships that the most trivial nonsense helps to lighten the mind. + Comedy lifts the heart and serves as a tonic for many ills ; and _ _ that is the reason the public has hung upon the words of men like Artemus Ward, Bill Nye and Mark Twain more readily than the words of a serious--minded statesman. It was the infectious humor and wit of the late "Bill" Weiss that so thoroughly en-- *_deared him to all of us. 34 Guardia of New York prepared a lengthy speech attacking the navy from secretary to sailor for shortcomings which, the speech was to point out, were made apparent to all by the submarine Back from is adventurous search for facts with which to rock congress and the nation he took that previously prepared speech --which was to have been verified and added to by the cruise-- and tore it up. His experience had taught him how much easier it is to navigate a submarine from the halls of congress than from the conning tower and that there was a lot of "loose misinforma-- tion" about the $--4 accident. Being a lengthy speech, it will be seen it was designed to be delivered in the house of representatives and extended in the Record," but before unburdening himself of his righteous indigna-- tion before his colleagues in congress Representative LaGuardia conceived the quite original idea of learning semething about that of which he was to speak. So he obtained permission to take a cruise in a sister ship of the ill--fated S--4, and for 36 hours shared the life of a submarine crew on the sé@rface and in the depths of the ocean. So ill did he think of the navy, he must have felt, upon embarking, that he was taking his life in his hands. Thus by accident the American people fall upon an effective method of making the Congressional Record a four--page sheet and throttling long--winded congressmen. Assuming all congressmen to be as quick as Congressman LaGuardia in confessing them-- selves in error, congress could be made virtually speechless by prohibiting members from speaking on any subject on which they have no first--hand information. v AN EXAMPLE FOR CONGRESSMEN Inspired by the sinking of the S--4 and the failure of the navy to raise the sunken submersible in time to save the lives of those of its crew not killed outright by the collision, Congressman La-- SENSE IN NONSENSE It is not recorded who declared that "a little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men." But whoever it was, he might with equal truth have observed that a great deal of nonsense is relished any time by most men. People love to lose themselves in nonsense. Their souls cry out for laughter. It is their antidote for sorrows and troubles. The greatest tragedies of the stage have produced some of the greatest comedy of all times. 3 _--_Cicero was not indulging in satire when he remarked, "There is nothing which can be spoken so absurd that it might not be spoken by some one of the philospohers." Did he not mean that there is sense in all nonsense ? PAGE FOUR Entered as second--class matter October 13, 1916, at the post office at Libertyville, lIliinois, under Act of March 3, 1879. Issued twice weekly. Mr. LaGuardia's precedent, widely emulated by his colleagues, will cut the nation's printing bill and prevent a lot of misinforma-- tion from getting loose. People amply able to pay for their treatments will not be al-- lowed to receive aid at the Lake County General Hospital, now that an injunction issued by Judge C. C. Edwards in 1926 has be-- come effective. Emergency cases, of course, will still be treated at the county hospital, but the regular cases where people are in comfortable financial standing will be eliminated. The injunction grew out of a suit brought against the hospital charging that the treatment of "pay" patients was illegal. The new policy will make the county institution the charitable organization that it was intended to be when it was built. TWO MORE PAY THE PENALTY Justice, whether it be called just punishment or legalized mur-- der, has won out again in the case of Snyder and Gray. Despite the efforts of lawyers and hundreds of sympathizers, the two went to the electric chair at the appointed time and were despatched to the hereafter." They are in another world at this time, a world from which, perhaps, they may view human life and human af-- fairs differently than before. * EDITORIALLY SPEAKING The number of airplanes that are being built in this country has increased from 1,186 in 1926 to an estimated ten times that many in 1928. The only trouble with the wholesale construction of airplanes is the fact that we cannot build Lindberghs to operate them at the same time. As long as oversea flights keep taking their toll, we shall have to build a thousand planes a year to keep Two notable examples of eastern justice in the past few months have raised the respect of the country for the administra-- tors of law and order. Both cases may be cited as instances of modern cruelty, but in spite of the plaints of the tender--hearted, they have proved that the law is not to be swayed by appeals to the emotions at the last minute. The other case of which we are speaking was the Sacco--Vanzetti affair, which had organizations from all over the world pleading for the lives of the two convicted Some day we may be able to eliminate crime through educa-- tion, better living and working conditions, and a~higHer moral tone, but until that day comes the welfare of society hinges on the punishment of the guilty. Human beings are too prone to take advantage of leniency. Like little boys they must be kept in order by the rod as well as by the Sunday school. The price war which the manufacturers of automobiles are waging is not causing the customer any apprehension. The more the merrier. If the prices go low enough, the proud papa may buy his baby a new automobile in place of the usual rattle. George Remus, former "king of the bootleggers," is reported to be a model patient at the insane asylum. There is some doubt, however, whether he was a model husband. Thbe Hake Comty Register FRANK H.

I certainly found mest of my women companions not only intelligent, but conscientious and eager to bring about justice. And I have learned several things concerning what women have done and what they haven't. On the other hand, Judge Homer G.

The average woman voter is intelligent. -- There-- fore. as women jurors are recruited from ranks of the voters only,>the avorege intelligence of jurors is raised by the addition of women."
