North shore citizens are solidlv with State's Attorney ~wanson and his col1eagues in their determination to make a thorough job of the investigation Do a T borough and prosecution of the alliance of poliJ ob! tics and cri.me and of g-raft in public office. The residents of \Vilmette. J{enilworth. VJ'innetka. and Glencoe believe vigorously and actively that a11 "puhlic officials who have laid themselves open to prosecution" should he Qrosecuted without fear or favor. The Grand .T ury investigation of the tremendous graft in the activities of the Sanitary District wi11 he fo1lowe(l hv all advocates of clean government everywhere and especiall~, by those who liYe in the Sanitary District. Not only has the money of taxpayers heen extrayagantly and inefficiently expended. but there is little douht that much of it has heen paid out for the huilcling up and maintaining_Qf a political machine. J\fany a Cook County politician has grown fat from feeding at the public crib. North shore people cannot he too grateful · to men likt~ T.oesch and ~wan son and to metnhers of citizens' committees in Cook County for leading this good fight against criminals and grafters. In the going of J. 1\I. Budinger from \\ ilmette to assume a position of importance in the newly-organized Commercial National Rank & Trust company of New York Citv his associates and Wilmette friends ~rill sustain a genuState Bank ine Joss. As cashier of the \ Vilmette State bank 1-f r. Budinger showed a combination of executive ability and pleasing personality that is not often found. It will mean success for him in his new work. Fortunately for the patrons of the Wilmette State bank the man who follows l\ir. Budinger as cashier, F. D. Anderson, seems also to possess this rare combination of qualities. It might also be added that the entire personnel of the bank is not only efficient but unusually attentiYe and friendly. Even those ~ho seldom notice such things must have heen compelled to notice the style of printing and pictures now being used rather commonly in ads. In some ads not · a capital can be found, not even at the beginnings of sentences. And then such strange capitals as are used in some ads! The pictures too are very odd. Shadings on shadings and then more on top. Buildings are pictured as if they were being seen from an airplane. What's next? Judging from what we have heard and directly experienced we conclude that north shore children were glad to return to school after the holidays. \Ve have They're Glad reason for believing that there are many children to Go in less. fortunate surroundings who did not look .forward with joy to resuming their school work after Christmas and New Year's. But children in north shore schools do not seem to regard their schools as jails or hou ses of correction. \\ e think that the process of education should cause nobody pain or unpleasantness. \ \'hy the' procedure known as educationdrawing out certain abilities within the pupil~ should he thought of as only a little less p::tinf ul than the extracting of teeth we cannot see, unless schooling in some places is much like dentistrv. Living. e~·en for the handicapped. may be a happy affair. \Ve happen to know four cripples who hobble about on crutches, whose bodies are almost tied in knots, but who are at the same time cheerful, active mentally, and a source of help to others. Education is a grand institution. the hope m)t only of America but of the human race. The fundamental principles of zoning are not weakened in the slightest h:v the recent opinion of the Illinois Supreme court, which was · to the effect that the restricting Zoning Principles by the zoning auAre Sound thorities at Lal~e Bluff of 14 families to the acre was unreasonable. This particular restriction was judged to he had. Zoning itself and its fundamental principles remain solid and valid. Some have thought that this Supreme Court decision implied a criticisn1 of the zoning law. This is unfortunate and at the same time unwarrantable. It is just as unwarrantable as conc1uding that the principles of arithmetic are unsound because individuals haye made mistakes in adding or diYiding. The central ideas supporting zoning are still sound and will remain so in spite of unreasonable interpretations and applications. Ten years ago on the sixth of Januarv the hod,· of Theodore Roose,·elt ceased its ~vnrk hut ·his soul is still marching- on. The voice of. the apostle of the strenuous life can still be heard An Immortal nrgmg American citiSoul zens, an d especially American manhood and youth, to fight the good fight against the enemies of the Republic. Still is he exhorting the young tnanhood of An1erica to purify politics and preserve democracy. Even yet the mere name of Roosevelt. is a bugle call never to give up the conflict against graft and corruption. We know of no other name in An1erican historv that has so martial a n1eaning, that is so closely associated with courageous championship of high ideals in political life. He is a man whon1 every American child should be taught to admire and love. At last we have some snow. Not that we were wanting any. Vole are merely stating a. fact. The children are enjoying it. Somettmes we think that one of the drawbacks of the warmer spots in this glorious countrv is that they lack snow. Snow does somehow add a little more to the landscape than material for tired householders to get rid of. SHORE LINES Our able assistant at the adjacent desk, having just regaled us with a refreshing story concerning Dr. and Mrs. George A. Rogers of Glenco.e ~nd their recent Golden wedding anniversary, also has called attention to the appended sentiment, penned by Thomas ' MacKellar way back in the ninetiec;. and which we take the liberty of .dedicating to Dr. and Mrs. Rogers and others of ou r neighbors entering or already embarked upon their second halfcentury of wedded happiness.
