has produced Colonel Lindbergh and other masters of the air. Because of its demonstrated reliability, a new confidence in aerial transport was created. The rapid strides made recently by the entire aviation indus-- try in America is attributable largely to the vision and energy of those who gave to the nation its first air mail. Business has found the air mail a valuable ally and individuals are using it more and more.> But the air mail's greatest contribu-- tion has been to aviation itself. It has developed airways and airports. It has aided in the development of better planes.. It Buying cars on time has been encouraged so much that it is said to Have become a gen ra practice. And once in possession of a car, the average owner .il. deprive himself of almost anything else rather than give up his cat IN DEZST FOR A CAR A business writer says that retail merchants have been de-- terred from stocking up as usual "by their knowledge of the obli-- gations that many of their best customers have assumed in order to buy the automobiles that they use." It is a curious situation, which may have an important bearing on the business situation. Her. is one great reason why the auto-- mobile industry has made :o fine a record in recent years--its lavish extension of credit. An obvious recourse of the makers and sellers of other forms of merchandise is to give more credit them-- selves. But that is a very avorious solution. -- > Colonel Lindbergh has so won public confidence the world considers him capable of accomplishing almost anything in the' reaim of aviation. This attitude on the part of the public prob= ably accounts for the ~any mythical expeditions his name is connected with. There are as many wild rumors about the famous flier's future flights as or the eve of presidential nominations. ' _ Whether there is or is not any foundation for it, the report that Lindbergh and Ford will cooperate in blazing a trail for a future commercial air line from the United States to Europe by the arctic route is full of compelling interest. It is a program deserving of the skill of the world's greatest air pilot and the back-J ing. of the world's greatest industrial genius. -- | That first line, inaugurated in 1918, failed, not because the idea it represented was impractical, but because the public was not yet ready for this new and swifter type of mail delivery. A second attempt on a larger scale, was made a few months later, and there has been no interruption since. it nas decade. Air mail is not a play thing, neither'is it an experiment. Air mail routes totaling nearly 10,000 miles are now in operation in the United States, and mail planes, owned and operated by civilian contractors, now fly more than 22,000 miles daily. The best proof that the air mail is widely used is the fact that frequently the mail is too heavy for one plane. & , _ Entered as second--class matter October 13, 1916, at the post office at Libertyville, Iliinois, under Act of March 3, 1879. Issued twice weekly. TEN YEARS OF AIR MAIL Air mail in the United States has just passed its tenth anni-- versary. It is as difficult to believe that this important branch of the postal service is already ten years old as it is to believe that In such an expedition there would be little of the spectacular and less danger than in a trans--Atlantic non--stop--flight, but utili-- tarian possibilities from su 1 a venture are tremendous. If the automobile wizard is contemiplating this new experiment in inter-- continental air transportation, he doubtlessly has in mind com-- mercial service over the route if the test flight accomplished all that would be expected of it. > The lllinois Association for Criminal Justice, an organization formed last year for the purpose of finding out what is wrong In the association's first release of statistics, only Cook county was covered, but the conditions there are not much different from with the present system of law enforcement, has just released figures which indicate that a person charged with a crime has only one chance in 30 of being punished. In other words, only three per cent of the people charged with crimes actually undergo pun-- ishment for their wrongdoing. With such a law enforcerient record held up to the public, it is no wonder that the temptation to go crooked is becoming stronger and stronger. . those all over the state, though they are popularly supposed to be worse than the average. Of the 12,543 felony charges filed in Chicago in 1926, only 2,449 defendants were found guilty on any charge. Of the number who were found guilty, a great majority were released on parole, freed on appeals, discharged, or allowed to escape punishment because of political pulls or delays. _ = PAGE FOUR Flying from New York to London by way of Labrador, Green-- land and Iceland is not the shortest route but it has the distinct advantage over the Lindberzk and Bremen routes of having land beneath it the greater part ot the way, making forced landings and short and safe hops possible. The figures in rape cases are especially enlightening. Out of 540 cases, there were only 27 convictions for that offense. Sixty-- two were punished for crimes other than the one charged, leaving 451 who escaped without any penalty. There were 2,696 robbery charges filed, out of which 1,825 escaped without any punishment, and out of which 720 had the original charges reduced to minor One may say that as the statistics being considered are on Cook county cases, they do not mean much for Waukegan and Lake county. This region is especially fortunate in having as sterling a man as Col. A. V. Smith as state's attorney, but even he is not able to counteract the bad effects of misdirected justice in Cook county. As the largest city in the Middle West, Chi-- cago sets the pace in many social movements, and if her law en-- forcement is lax, that same tendency is bound to creep into the life of Lake county and other counties. Figures for the down-- state region have not been disclosed by the Association for Crim-- inal Justice, but if the Cook county statistics are duplicated in other parts of Illinois, then it is time for a general house cleaning in the courts. * Public agitation for better procedure in the courts has resulted in a demand for the reformation of the Municipal courts in Chi-- cago. This cry is a sign that lax law enforcement is mot what the public wants. Unless conditions are bettered and politics are separated from the courts, there will aria' a wave of public feel-- ing that will go to extremes in the other direction and make the courts centers of ciyil autocracy independent of all influences. We have readt--6f crime waves from time to time, and we have read of denials that there were any crime waves. Now we should like to read of a law enforcement wave. If municipalities would pay less attention to blue laws and more to curbing the criminal, we would not have discouraging reports from crime commissions. attained its present magnitude in the short space of a The Lake County Register FRANK H.
