_ _--. It is the business of organized society to protect itself against . those attacks of disease which grow out of bad living conditions. _ Public money is well and justifiably spent in preventing the ac-- _ cumulation of filth, in providing a safe water supply, in enforc-- _ ing quarantine regulations, in spreading health information, in 'providing clinics for the treatment of those unable to secure _ medical services at their private expense. 6 The height of agricultural depression brought the Farmer-- Labor party into being and sent Mr. Shipstead to congress six years ago. When that depression passed, the party passed with it, for a political group with a congressional strength 6f only three members cannot properly be called a party in the strict sense of the word. «-- PAGE FOUR 2 Questions of policy such as "why _ city automobiles are not so placard-- _ ed" seem to me immaterial.

Leaders of both groups have shown, since the republican na-- tional convention, the greatest confidence in the ability of the republican ticket and platform to win the support of farmer and labor votes. Senator Shipstead's problem is whether to maintain the breach between the republican and Farmer--Labor parties or re-- enter the republican fold without. reservation and, by that method, seek to effect a union of the two political forces. The two parties are not as far apart as some would have the public Entered as second--class matter October 13, 1916, at the post officeAt Libertyville, Illinois, under Act of March 3, 1879.

A SENATOR WITHOUT A PARTY Difficult as present decisions may be for members of the re-- publican and democratic parties their task is easy as compared to that confronting Senator Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota, sole representative of the Farmer--Labor party in the present Unit«d States senate. Today Minnesota and the Dakotas, where the party was born, no longer regard it with the former enthusiasm. The Farmer--Labor party still exists in name, but it is moribund. Sen-- ator Shipstead, too, has changed. He entered Washington an advanced progressive. Today he is sufficiently tamed to be given the chairmanship. of an important senate committee. HEALTH IS GOOD BUSINESS Men and women live longer now than did those of half a century ago. The life span has been increased by 17 years. The gain is the result of knowledge. _ Sickness and death are tragedies in the experience of indi-- viduals, but from the point of view of the interests of the com-- munity, they are ijust plain bad business. The service of every able--bodied man to society as a whole has a certain definite cash value. If he lives and keeps well he ought to be counted upon to contribute to the wealth of the community. This is one justification for spending money collected from the public to protect public health. It is community insurance. Millions are wasted every year because persons are laid up by sickness. When it is proved that much of this disease is due to causes which could be removed by proper health precautions, the community convicts itself of criminal carelessness. It seems to me the Lake Coun-- ty Board of Supervisors is deter-- mined to have its way about the county poor farm. Instead of effort to dispose of the valuable acreage and with the funds realized erect a county home in connection with the mhufifl.thereuanappuent disposition controvert such action. Deplorable conditions at the coun-- ty farm may not longer be charged up to the electorate which denies en-- «dorsement of the supervisors' plan to spend a quarter million dollars to re-- leve conditions that may be cor-- rected under a better plan at an ex-- penditure of some $50,000.

I take it the nomination _ of "Charlie" Curtis of Kansas for Vice President is considerable assurance to farmers of the mid--west. Senator Curtis will have from Mr. Hoover verbal agreement to aid in securing legislation looking to sane solution of the farm problem and will in turn pass the word along to his farmer friends and supms. of whom he has more than a else. I thought Frank O. Lowden's action in leaving his farn¥ and other friends flat by summarily withdraw-- ing his name at the Kansas City con-- vention was just about g}e limit. He quit cold without even orming the home delegation of his intention, and went his aristocratic way back to I guess everything ~will be all right and Hoover beat Smith, if the latter happens to be the Democratic nominee, around two to one in this Maybe Lowden is a great man, but he doesn't act the part. 0 There have. been five deaths, four this year, and several accidents occasioned by collision with E. J. & E. freight trains at the Milwaukee avenue grade crossing just south of Libertyyille. In each instance an auto has been driven head on into a slowly,. moving freight train. Poor visability seems to account for the fatalities. FIGHT TO AID WAR VETERANS A fight to end discrimination by government hospitals, which do nnot accept war veterans unless they are receiving a .government compensa-- tion, has been started by John J. List, head of the Matt Smith Post of the Veterans of the Foreign Wars. and Commander E. V. Orvis of 'the Spanish--American -- War Veterans. This issue was brought up at the convention of disabled -- veterans, which was held Saturday at Denver, Colo.. and which was attended oy the Lake county men. ig . c Claiming that although there are vacant beds at the institution at Great Lakes, war veterans are re-- fused admission, E. V. Orvis has tak-- on the matter up and was told that the veterans must be admitted. The ruling on' that matter follows: The Great Lakes Veterans' hospi-- tal and the Quincy Soldiers' Home were principally -- concérned. * "All veterans of the -- Spanish-- American war, Chinese . rebellion, Philippire insurrection, Mexican Border war and the World war shall be admitted to government stations for treatment." : The Waukegan men are interest-- ed at present in the case of G. Miller of North Chicago, who was recent!y turned down. Orvis claims that h> investigated the matter and found that there were beds vacant at the hospital. o ' A letter was sent to John Hart-- man. holder of a concession at Great Lakes, and Dr. Forkin, also of Great Lakes, by Orvis stating that unless Miller be admitted within 24 hours direct action through governmeni headquarters would be taken. A resolution was also voted at the convention to send the flag code o+ the Spanish War Veterans to Indi-- ana for ratification. Action has been started to reor-- ganize the Fox: River -- conservancy district. It is planned to hold an election for this purpose the early part of August. County Judge Perry L. Persons has been notified that a meeting of the county judges of the proposed district is to be held on July 9th at 1:30 o'clock --p. m., at the court house in Geneva, Kane county, to act on a petition asking zmm election be called at an early | on the question of a proposed sani-- tary conservancy along the Fox river. % TO REORGANIZE SANITARY DIST. OF FOX RIVER The conservancy district for Fox river was formed about two years ago by a vote of the people of that district, and a conservancy board was appointed by the county judges. After the board had been in opera-- tion for nearly a year, Circuit Judge William J. Fulton of Yorkville in a quo warranto proceeding held that the district had been illegally cre-- ated, as a number of property own-- ers in this section had not received notice of the property ls;orpora:ed into the new -- district. is &\)x;o- uxeticadlty -- pat Wiwe--vonservancy rd out of existence. Rather than ap-- peal to the higher courts, it was de-- cided to reform the district, after giving the proper notice to owners of property, but there was a delay of several months in getting action un-- derway.> _ f The counties involved are Lake, McHenry, Kane, Cook, Kendall and LaSalle. The proposed conservancy district will extend one mile : on either side of Fox river and itsl principal tributaries. It is the plan to have sanitation along the river | rigidly controlled and pollution of } the waters prevented. | The district is sponsored by the Fox River Valléy Federation. This organization hopes that the water supply will be developed so as to control the navigation and restrict the fishing. fse At the meeting on July $th every one interested in the organization of the proposed -- conservancy -- district may appear and be heard upon'any auestion which may arise affecting the organization and boundary lines of the organization. j f The matter was originally storted by the voters of Kane county, where a petition was filed to organize tRis district. The new petition, which bears signatures of 1089 persons, was tiled with the county clerk of Kane county. Judge Harry C. Danicls cf Kane county called the meeting of the board of commissioners, which is comprised of the county judges of the six counties. Mr. James of Antioch, who was the Lake county member of the con-- servancy board, said-- Friday: that little objection is expected to the re-- organization of the conservancy dis-- trict.. He said that there might be objections from a few in LaSaile county. Back Local Case Six Counties THE LAKE COUNTY REGISTER. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1928. A.

The amount of the reward is to be determined later, --R. B. Dixon. a member of the churth board, said Monday. 'The young boy lived at Gurnee with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph .Vincent.
