The platform. on which Stratton is running for the nomination is not much different from the conventional platform of economy, honesty and efficiency. What is of supreme importance for Lake county, however, is the fact that Stratton is one of its citizens. That fact is expected to carry this section without any trouble, for regardless of political sentiments, the "favorite son" slogan drowns out the voice of general politics. Any county in the state would be proud to have one of its citizens in the office of the sec-- retary of state. We are hoping that Stratton is the fortunate one. ~... EDITORIALLY SPEAKING In upholding companionate marriage in the debate at Chicago several days ago, Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver declared that birth control would solve the marriage problem and would make it possible for couples to separate without going through the men-- tal torture of the present diverce system. Ir opposing Lindsey's plan, Dr. M. S. Taylor of Los Angeles declared that the compan-- mwmammm-phm.meofmm"m debases the spiritual elements. Taking the two arguments in their condensed form, we feel that Dr. Taylor has the stronger case. WMWMflMWOMmphyfial' desires and were limited by the strength of those desires. i Those in this county who know Stratton feel that he is capable of filling the office he seeks. Proof of the respect with which he is regarded here is seen in the fact that he has been chairman of the republican central committee in Lake county for four succes-- sive terms and served as a member of the Board of Supervisors for 14 years. This utterance is none the less true and deserving of public consideration because no one knows the campaign value of a tax reduction policy better than the man in the white house or be-- cause Mr. Coolidge is deeply solicitous for Republican success in the presidential election next year. Coolidge political wisdom and shrewd aconomic sense are emphasized in the president's warning that "one of the greatest safeguards of this nation, financially, socially and morally, lies in And so Groundhog Day, a most unofficial holiday, was cele-- brated throughout the land. Nobody knows just how this super-- stition started. Some say it was brought to this country as adapt-- ed from Candlemas Day, when the badger was supposed to come forth from his hole and, if he saw his shadow, retire for six weeks in anticipation of bad weather. , The president favors tax reduction. Thanks to his insistence on economical administration of the federal government the treas-- ury surplus will permit a substantial tax cut, and the administra-- tion will go as far as sound business policy will sanction. He has made it plain though that he is opposed to slashing away at taxes until the federal treasury faces a deficit. The direct line to permanent tax reduction is through keep-- ing the expenses of government at the lowest point consistent with adequate public service and protection, and retiring the pub-- lic debt as rapidly as possible. The interest the American people are paying on the money their government borrowed during the war contitutes an erormous drain on the nation's income. Debt claims more revenue than anything else. T ' STRATTON IN THE RACE » _ When the republican primaries in the state are held next Sep-- tember, a Lake county man will be in the race for secretary of state. He is William J. Stratton of Ingleside, game warden of Iilinois. -- Score another triumph for man in his constantly advancing conquest over space. At Schenectady, N. Y., the first demonstra-- tion of television broadcasting took place, and those who wit-- nessed the epoch making event saw before them, in a room plunged in darkness save for a small lightened screen, a slowly gesticulating man whose movements kept perfect unison with the spoken words that came over the ether. President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon would reduce the debt as well as tax rates. Doing so would be true constructive economy. "What is next?" one instinctively asks as the mysteries of the ether dre opened page by page with astonishing swiftness. or, rather ; "There's nothing new umder the sun." but---- Opponents of the dry law are using accident to the S--4 as an argument against prohibition, pointing out that the submarine was struck by a coast guard destroyer that was on for liquor runners. . As their arguments are far--fetched, we cannot see why the eighteenth amendment should be repealed because of a ca-- tastrophe at sea, no more than the right to vote should be re-- pealed because crooked politicians are able to bribe citizens. The moving object was none other than the radio announcer in another room. Scientific men claim that suffhicient progress in the broadcasting of pictures that within five years similar sets will be available for use in everyone's home at a reasonable cost. "The groundhog saw his shadow Thursday. There is a most ridiculous belief that that signifies we are going to have bad weather for another six weeks. It is all nonsense to pay any at-- tention to such thirigs, nevertheless-- % : "Science isn't always right, ang animals can sense a storm coming long before humans can; everybody knows that (so w# hear) and maybe the groundhog has some uncanny sensitivena«s about those things." __'The prospects are unlimited, and are indicative of the rapid strides that are being made in the electrical field of endeavor. Less than three quarters of a century ago the telegraph had not been robbed of the uncanny. It was less than a quarter of a cen-- tury ago that the first distressed ship flashed its S O S over the sea to a thrilled world. It was only. with the dawning of the present century that the age--old prediction of the "horseless car-- riage" came to materialize. And now--radio pictures!
