%*~ » EDITORIALLY SPEAKING + Leaders of both the republican and democratic committees in Lake county have urged the voters to register this fall in order to be able to vote on Nov. 6. Every precinct in the county will be open for registration on Oct. 16 and Oct. 30. Voters are advised to do their best to register on 'the first day, as some-- thing unexpected may turn up to prevent them from going to the polls on the second. let each day take care of itsel{, and if the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world Herbert Hoover will be the next president of the United States. Never before in the history of this country has a man made such a strong appeal to women, particularly to mothers. The reason is plain: Be it ever so humble, Herbert Hoover knows there is no place like home in the heart of the American and that is why he wants the home to have much greater influence in the whole scheme of American life. To working people no phrase in the Hoover speech of ac-- ceptance meant anywhere near what "Her man's job" conveyed. This took in the entire story of home--food, clothing and school for the children, the three in one, and after its utterance count-- less honest hearts, silently but sincerely, pulsated approval and applause. Men who are fathers breathed a sigh of relief, and mothers, many of them, wiped away a tear of joy. People who work with their hands have hopes and ambitions. Herbert Hoover, be it kept in mind, worked with his hands, and he knows. and to working people he proved his heart is in the proper place when he said, "Ihere is no guarantee against pov-- erty equal to a job for every man." And that is just why every women has a perfect right to be interested in "Her man's job." f "HER MAN'S JOB" There are more women who wonder whether their man's job is safe and if he will have steady work than there are who There will be wide difference of opinion as to the worth of Mr. Outcault's contribution to journalism and civilization, but none will deny that his contribution to human happiness was large. Beyond the power of statistician and adding machine to calculate is the total of happy hours furnished by the funny paper and comic strip. Thousands of persons count the comic drawings of Richard F. Outcault among the cherished memories of their childhood without realizing that he was the father of the modern comic strip and "funny paper." His, death raised in the minds of many vivid visions of hilarious childhood hours. Although straw votes are to be taken with many reserva-- tions, the one conducted by a farming periodical with a large circulation outside of Chicago brings food for reflection. This straw ballot shows that Smith is leading Hoover for president and Emmerson is ahead of Thompson for governor. As it is extremely unlikely that the voters will back one party in state politics and another one in national issues, we cannot see how that straw vote is going to solve any of our prbblems. ~.Qutcault was the creator of "Buster Brown," "The Yellow Kid" and "Hogan's Alley," which back in 1893 began to creep into the Sunday newspaper supplements, adding gaudiness and gaiety to these journals. He abandoned professional drawing a decade ago, but his comic creations are still remembered. from her, while her attempt to put over the naval agreement has cost her some of America's support. Leading London news-- papers urge the British cabinet to cultivate the 'friendship of America and avoid European entanglements. Such a step, we feel, would 'help world peace by uniting the English speaking days of the week. Great Britain's strong pro--French policy in the past few weeks has done her more harm than good! She has raised sus-- picions in Germany and Italy, causing those two to drift away The influence of Outcault's comic drawings was felt in fashions in clothes for small boys, on the stage and in the mer-- cantile world where his characters and their names became na-- tionally known trademarks. And the modern newspaper shows the effects of that influence, in the form of whole sections of comics on Sunday and pages of comic strips on the other six People have given their imagination ample play on Herbert Hoover. Men accept him as broad--minded and broad--should-- ered. They empicture him as a man who has the courage and character to do things and who is not afraid of anybody. Wo-- men look upon him as clear--minded and conscientious in his determination to protect the American home as a sanctuary, to raise the standards of living and to help the boys and girls and the whole family. f As to the politics of Herbert Hoover, aside from party work-- ers, only an unappreciable few think much about that. "The Hoover strength lies in the breasts of those who believe he is a good man who will do good things and who knows what should be done for the people's good. S§o, in this campaign, figuring it all out, with his personal character to inspire his capacity to get results, and his courage to act, really, politics is "the least of ganization. "THE LEAST OF THESE" ' Herbert Hoover's appeal to popular imagination is doing more to assure his election than the efforts of any group or or-- ganization, political or otherwise. Men and women consider him properly fitted for the presidency of the United States because he has done big things in the way they like to see big things handled. His political identity means all the republican organ-- ization and its years of service can contribute toward his sup-- port, but that Herbert Hoover is himself is what is making votes for him by the million. 5 Herbert Hoover has the confiGence of the people since he is not a type of candidate who must say what he will do if elected. In contrast, he is of the type who can point to what he has already done as a reason for accepting the nomination. With him it is past performance, duty done, not pledges and promises. Welfare work, relieving the oppressed, which he hasi been doing for years, not his political identity, won a home for him in the human heart.. Under our form of government, which] is the world's best, we must have political organizations, but Herbert Hoover is among those upon whom an organizationi can lean rather than a candidate who must lean upon the or-- as second--class matter October 13, 1916, at the office at Mmmmumafim."wfifimm.

The All nine of the other schools of the conference have either built en-- tirély new buildings in the past five years or made extensive additions. Entirely new units have been built by Franklin Park, Palatine, Lake Zurich and Bensenville while the other five bave built or are now building additions, all of which have contained new gymnasiums. The au-- thorifies of these schools were asked this week to give an estimate of the amount of money that has been gpent in the past five years in the constructions of these new buildings or additions and the following fig-- ures were received: organization . consisting _ of tea schools in this section of the state. It has been found that our school building has fewer cubic feet of space per student enrolled than any other school of this group. That means that greater value per dollar invested in buildings is being receiv-- ed than in any other of these schools. It is agreed by all that our gymnasium is the poorest one in the entire conference. Each year a con-- ference tournament is promoted and in making preparations for these it has always been accepted without much discussion that our' gymnas-- ium is far inadequate both from the standpoint of the size of the floor and from the standpoint of spectator capacity. Those in direct touch with the school known that the present build-- ing is crowded and that relief of some kind must be given soon if the present high standards are to be maintained.
