.m Waukegan is to have a population of 29,500 by 1930, accord-- ing to predictions in the Chicago Regional and Planning Asso-- giation's bulletin. This number, it seems, is conservative, show-- ing only a 10,000 increase since 1920, whereas the predictions of other organizations put the mark closer to 35,000 than to 30,000. The facts, however, will be learned when the* official census is In spite of the hazards of flying, Col. Lindbergh is going to keep on with his work. He has made no definite plans for the future, except to promote a nationwide interest in the develop-- ment of aviation. We hope that the young man will take fewer risks in the forthcoming flights, for his person is too valuable to be carelessly thrown away. Luck or skill has preserved him thus far, but no one knows when the chain of successes will be snap-- ped. Lindy, we predict, will be of inestimable value in coming years when the problems of aviation demand solution. Aviation is in its infancy as yet, but its rapid growth foretells a rise as sen-- sational as that of the radio and automobile. & Illinois is not the only state where the governor is the center of court proceedings. Gov. Len Small, who successfully evaded the criminal suit, but who lost the civil action, can appreciate the feelings of Gov. Ed. Jackson of Indiana and Gov. Johnson of Oklahoma. --Investigations, like death, love a shining Padlocks for 350 places alleged to have violated the prohibi-- tion laws are to be sought by fedqnlA prosecutors in Chicago next month. !!th:yhcesl_hndmclon'd,manyajoyouspar;yfrom' the suburbs will have to spend its money on movies and plays. There will be little of figbtli!t in' store for merry--making parties. "devilizing" Washington. People have come to look upon Hon-- est Abe" as a delicate, snow--white character who had little of the common or human in him. As for Washington, however, the seekers after the much--maligned truth have painted him as a slaveholder, a drinker, and a dyed--in--the--wool aristocrat. We feet that neither of these viewpoints is correct. <~One should re-- member that both of them were human beings, just as we are, and that even if their mortal clay was touched with a loftier spirit and a greater moral courage than we can boast of, yet that clay was still subject to the trials and temptations of this world. Why paint our heroes as gods? There is nothing to be ashamed of in the admission that they are made of flesh and blood. Our children may celebrate the birthday of a third great Am-- erican in future years, if the fame of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh keeps growing. Lindbergh, like Lincoln and Washington, was born in February. That short month seems to have much more than its lawful quota of famous birthdays. Cato the Censor had his troubles with them, and the Bible also bhas many commentaries on their dress and conduct. What mod-- ern flapper would act in a more flippant manner.than the daugh-- ters of Zion described in the sixteenth--verse of th'thgm of Isaiah; daughters who were hatughty, }'M; ed with stretched--forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and minging as they went, and making a tinkling with their feet? The rest of the chapter also has much to say of their dress. In all ages there have been extremes just as today. + « EDITORIALLY SPEAKING. Last week this country celebrated the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, and this week it will observe the birthday of George Washington, the father of his country. In this age we have no-- ticed opposite tendencies regarding our two great national fig-- ures. There has been a movement "angelizing" Lincoln and The girls of today probably do more work than those of any other time, for the reason that the modern world has brought more occupations suitable to them. Nor are all those called flappers to be thought of as light, flippant creatures; certainly. not as being immoral. Of course there are extremes among them, as in all classes and in all periods. But no class should be judged as a whole by the few in it who may be unfortunate. However, the worst flappers of today could not possibly be inveigled against more severely than were their sisters of ancient times. Those who have observed that the average girl today is healthy, pretty and trained to work require no defense of the mod-- ern young woman. Still there are some who, misled by the excess of talk about flappers, have the notion that the average of the girls of today is not as high as in former times. ' As an alternative for more judges and courtrooms, the plan has been suggested that all automobile owners be required to carry liability insurance, and that a commission be created to ad-- just automobile accident cases in the same way that workmen's compensation boards now adjust industrial accident claims. Proponents of the plan believe that it would benefit,the pub-- lic as well as the courts. The majority of automobile damage suits now filed are, it is said, handled on a contingent fee basis, and the claimant, if successful, gets only a portion of the award. A commission might enable the injured party to get a settlement in less time, and without the fees and costs that are now a pé:fh such an action. a There could be but one objection to the commission plan. The taxpayers could raise that objection if the proposed method of adjustment proved more costly than the present to them. It would cost money to enforce compulsory liability insurance and any sort of a government commission is an expensive luxury. The question of comparative costs might well command the attention: of any legislature considering taking these cases out of districtl " *TS. ~ -- Before the popularization of the automobile there were enough causes for civil litigation to keep the 'courts busy, and there is no reason to believe these have diminished as automobile damage suits have increased. So when one learns that actions growing out of traffic accidents now constitute in some courts as much as 70 per cent of all claims filed, one is not surprised that there is congestion in the courts. Increased labor on the part of judges will not solve the prob-- lem, and it is a question if the taxpayers could bear the additional burden of increasing the number of judges and courtrooms suffh-- ciently to satisfactorily expedite trials. At the rate damage suits are being filed lawyers and jurists say there can be no end to ex-- isting congestion. & Libertyville, lilincis, under Act of March 8, 1879.
