To some of our boys, with the ar- of next Tuesday. September 8, It be a case of "the melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year." for on that day onr public schools wlh' open for the season of 1914-15. No longer will be be allowed to follow the dictates of his own will, but will be a Blare to bells, clocks and tbe multi- farious duties of school lire. This, at least, is t ho popular conception oV Young America's attitude towards the opening of school, and he has heard it talked of so much and has seen it car-. ent and past generations, tending hoi only to weaken the forces of law and order, hot also to sap parental con- trol. The theory that legislation cab ac- complish everything in the elevation Of man will,have, in the course of the next decade, a great many Jolts which will reveal to tbe people tbe mistakes they have made and are likely to make in following any such, view, says Win. H. Taft in The Mother's Magazine. Tbe disposition of one part of tbe people legislatively to reg- ulate the life of others and to make others good, will be greatly moderated In the lesson of their failure. But it is exceedingly important that hi the present saturnalia of millennium-giv- ing reforms, we should not take steps which it will be difficult to retrace, or the evil of which it will take a long, long time to cure. & * * ered, and we submit to the voters that the entire list of candidates should be supported by them. -•*•>■ FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER OF sftsTVllsf rAllMTY......_______: ■*•*■ %«a: INCLUDING EVAN8TON AND THE NORTH SHORE. ««» SUBMIT THE PLATFORM «•» OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO THE VOTERS -***- FOR THEIR APPROVAL CITIZENS INVITED TO READ AND CONSIDER. THE QUESTION. Immediately after the battle of Sedan, in the Franco-Prussian war, a newspaper correspondent was on the battlefield helping the injured. He came across a Frenchman, mor-1 to represent all parts of the city and tally wounded, who asked him for a ■, county. These candidates invite the Tbe candidates on tbe regular Re- publican ticket for county commis- sioners from the "country towns," which term includes everything in Cook county outside of the Chicago city limits, were chosen by the "Com- mittee of 200," an organization chosen drink of water. After he had finished | approval of the voters of Evanston .o. often in the papers, he hasdrinking, he fell back on the ground |and tQo QQrth shore at the Septcmbei. and looking up into the correspond- j really concluded that he is a martyr to a great cause, tbe value of which be Is unable to fathom. But is it really a fact that tho boys hate school and await tbe opening oi' the fall term with a feeling of dread? It jKro*will watch the average boy dur- ing the first days of school, you will find that while he is undoubtedly full of mischief and seemingly irrepress- primaries, and promise, if nominated, , j to conduct an aggressive campaign, and if elected to ^minister the affairs ent's face asked: "Monsieur, are the Prussians Christians?" "Certainly, replied the newspaper man." "Then," said the Frenchman, "why do we kill j of the county in a business-like man one another?" ncr. This is the question that undoubted- ly thousands of poor peasants are ask- ing themselves today in Europe and this is the question that the monarch!-. of Europe will some day be called upon to answer. The life of a few We call attention to the large In- creases of taxes for the support of all departments of the government tinker the present administration in the state and county, and recall to the public recollection the campaign cries of the Democratic candidate's and declarations of their party platforms In 1912 against high taxes and ap- propriations. The increase of 22 per cent in the aggregate tax rate in Cook county, and from 3S to 70 cents In the state tax rate--the largest in the his- tory of the state--is the answer to Democratic charges and the cend 'x\- j nation of Democratic administrations. County Commissioners. We call attention to the inefficient, wasteful and tuibulent Democratic! board of county commissioners, which • has disgraced the county, squandered the people's money and impaired the administration of the departments of i the county government and the us-;-| fulness of county institutions which! should be devoted to the care of tbe worthy sick and poor.

County Judge. We call attention to the scandals which have arisen in connection with the million dollar purchase of voting machines made by the board of elec- tion commissioners and approved by County Judge Owens, and to the re- fusal of Judge Owens to appoint rep- resentatives of tI:e-KepubHcan party to guard the interests'of tbe party at the polls, under the law. The uncov- ering of wholesale frauds committed at the polls at the last general elec- tion has made the presence of Repub- lican party representatives at the poll- ing places a matter of vital Interest to the party and the public," and Judge Owens' action has deservedly engendered uneasiness and suspicion regarding the very integrity of our elections. Our candidate stands conspicuously in this community for honest elec- tions.

W.W County Treasurer. We call attention to the dispute be- tween the cbunty treasurer and the public regarding the interest on the public funds in his custody. We hold that the Interest on public funds be- longs to the people, to be faithfully accounted for and lodged in the public treasury. In accordance with these views, our candidate for county treas- v urer has pledged himself to turn the Interest on public funds into the county treasury, and to afford every' facility to tbe public, public agencies or civic bodies-for the inspection of his books and publication of his ac- counts. ""•-- ■ Probate Judge. We point to the long and honorable list of Republican judges of the pro- bate court, and have recommended a candidate who will "maintain the high traditions of the party in the adminis- tration of this great office.

Short Ballot. V."< favor the short ballot and the consolidation of the departments Dj the government where these reforms can be achieved without sacrifice of efficiency and economy. Woman Suffrage. ^The interest shown by women voters in the limited suffrage granted them by the last general assembly jus* titles the removal of all obstacles fat the way-of granting them full suf- frage, and we favor appropriate actios: to that end. Civil Service. ->- We-believe in the application of the principle of civil service to the public service of the county and of the sani- tary district of Chicago, and favor the passage of a law by the general as- sembly to that end. We call attention to the marked contrast in the enforce- ment of civil service laws under the Democratic and Republican adminis- trations. Examination of Public Offices. We favor the fullest investigation at all times of the public offices by responsible civic bodies, with a view of affecting economies, increasing efficiency and preventing waste and misapplication of the public funds. m , Forest Preserve District. .
