: PAGE FOUR f Welcome news for prospective vacationers comes from Wash-- _ ington. It is to the effect that the rates for post cards will be re-- duced to one cent. This measure is expected to be bitterly op-- 'd by the people who have to stay in town for their vacations. In state politics, the fight is expected to be bitter between the Republicans and --the Democrats. The latter believing that the past regime of Governor Small has tainted the Republican party beyond reformation, are confident that this year they will obtain control of the administration. Feeling that their best arguments are against Len Small, they are coupling Emmerson with the past corruption. Their move is good politics, for the rebellion against Small was of great proportions all over the state. We doubt, however, if they can convince the average citizen that Emmerson is of the same type as Len Small. We have a hunch that the cit-- izens of the state cleaned house in the recent primary in order to retain a Republican administration in office. This is not the full extent of the bad uses to which we are put-- ting the Sabbath day, although they are the most spectacular. Add to this list the jangled nerves of many a good wife, the tired body of many a husband, the unnatural stimulation of many chil-- dren of the families that rise early and start out on a quest of There is no question that Illinois is for Lowden. This state is the center of the Lowden boom which has assumed large pro-- portions in the Middle West. Whether it will be able to overcome the Hoover boom in the East and Far West remains to be seen when the G. O. P. convention gets underway at Kansas City. The lineup seems to be the industrial and conservative East against an aroused and complaining Middle West. As long as the farm question holds a prominent place in the politics of the nation, so long will Lowden be a formidable figure in the race for the pres-- idency. There is, of course, that possibility that the dedadlock between Lowden and Hoover will be so tight that the conven-- tion will in self--defense have to pick a compromise candidate. It is this hope that keeps many of the lesser known men in the .._'The Sabbath was made for man, to be sure, but not for the exercise to his uttermost folly. Yet as surely as Monday rolls around we have the gruesome front page news of the dead,. the dying and the injured who have apparently gone mad over Sun-- day and have paid the price. The adoption of a municipal flag which will be flown in local celebrations will make possible the preservation of the national banner for strictly national holidays. It will give the city a sym-- bol of its own and will unify community spirit in the sign of the community banner. j The pendulum swings from extreme to extreme. The death-- like silence and stupor of the Sabbath of the past is gone and probably gone forever. But the deathly clamor of our Twentieth Century Sabbath is equally impossible. Wise motorists avoid Sunday travel as much as possible, or seek byways and unfre-- quented places. Or, what is best of all, use the car to take them a relatively short distance to a spot where they may make the most of the day in rest and recreation of body and spirit which alone justify the Sabbath. ALL SET FOR THE BIG SHOW The Republicans and the Democrats of the state met at Spring-- field last week to endorse their candidates for the presidency. The Republicans, as was expected, went solidly for Frank O. Lowden, former governor of this state, and the Democrats backed Al Smith, present governor of New York. Now that the decks have been cleared for action, the major parties can start firing at each other. SABBATH MADNESS The Sabbath, once the day of rest, is now fast becoming known as the day of eternal rest. For more people now go to an untime-- ly death on that day than any other day of the week. Mad m»-- toring is responsible for this ghastly change. Fast and furious driving is likely to mark--such a trip, with many near accidents. The mind, body and soul undergoes almost every experience and emotion except those of rest and repose and recreation. Then the homeward journey and the sleep of ex-- haustion or, what is more likely, the sleeplessness of exhausted every event, no matter how insignificant or how much removed from patriotic meaning. RESPECTING THE FLAG We are in accord with the movement started by Mayor L. J. ¥Yager of Waukegan and Mayor Walter L. Atkinson of North Chicago to restrict the display of the American flag to occasions that are legal holidays or otherwise deserving of flag displays. Too frequent display of the flag makes it a common factor in NEWSPAPERS' BIRTHDAY April 20 is the 224th anniversary of the birth of the first American newspaper. On April 20, 1704, the first issue of "The Boston News Letter" came off the press. It must have been a history--making event in the then little town of Boston, although by twentieth century standards the newspaper was little more than a crudely printed handbill and the press upon which it was printed would not serve the purposes of an amateur today. From that diminutive unattractive newspaper developed the voluminous dailies of this age. And the vast and tremendously powerful institution of American journalism as it exists today. The relationship between The Boston News Letter and the great metropolitan dailies or even the small city dailies is not apparent from a comparison of their physical features, and there is p:\;bably not a weekly newspaper today issued on as small and primitive a scale as was that first American newspaper. Into the nearly two and a quarter centuries that have elapsed since The Boston News Letter made its debut journalism in the United States has packed 'a thousand years of development. There are newspapers today that contain more reading matter in one average issue than the pioneer papers printed in a year. No one disputes the assertion that the United States owes to its newspapers much of the success of its government, much of its industrial development, the success of its great educational and welfare movements and institutions and not a little of its general prosperity and economic stability. 5 P EDITORIALLY SPEAKING Bob O'Farrell's team, the St. Louis Cardinals, have been picked by Norman E. Brown, Central Press sports editor, to win the National league title this year. No one would like to see the Cards win as much as the Waukegan fans, for they are pulling for Bob with all their might. A victory for the Cards would be all the sweeter because of the fact that very few experts are con-- ceding them either first or second place. ; Entered as second--class matter October 13, 1916, at the post office at Libertyville, Iliinois, under Act of March 8, 1879.
