As this is a presidential election year, the slow conditions may be further deadened by the unwarranted fears of slackening busi-- ness because of elections. We are confident that no matter which party gets into power it will not seriously affect trade and indus-- try. The foundations of the country's business are too firmly fixed to be shaken by political speeches. Compared with past depressions, the present one is merely a ---- --passing flurry. There is no cause for worry. If people would _ only have confidence in the future, they would see the present dif-- * The past winter is going to be referred to as the season of the great delusion, for although the "experts" and "observers" say that business is generally good and that there is no reason for be-- ing pessimistic, the actual conditions are not rosy enough to war-- rant any extreme optimism. Here's hoping that the silver lining breaks through the clouds in a hurry. ; Lake county, together with many other counties in the state, . is hehng the effects of the employment depression. The poor bills, for one thing, are 50 to 60 per cent higher this year than in the past, indicating that many people who were formerly supporting themselves are now calling on the county for aid. TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE ' Springtime, which is universally regarded as the right time to clean house, will this year offer the Illinois voter the best chance in many years to sweep out of office the corrupt and unprincipled politicians whoe have been throttling the state's public offices for the past eight years. In one primary election the voters will be able to wipe out almost to the last man the money--tainted machine that has mercilessly ground out opposition in Springfield. rAGEROUR ° -- Entered as second--class matter October 13, 1916, at the post office at Libertyville, Iliinois, under Act of March 3, 1879. Issued twice weekly. FRANK L. SMITH AGAIN Frank L. Smith, twice barred from the United States senate, again seeks your indulgence. In the first speech of his new cam-- paign he declares : "The effort to question whether I will be seated if elected is a smoke screen to cloud the real issue in this cam-- paign. That real issue is the right of the people of this state to choose me, or to choose my opponent, or to choose anyone else they please to be a senator for Illinois. . . . I am in this cam-- paign to demand the redress of your grievance and for no other The Christian Century, an undenominational weekly, pleads with the voter to seize the present opportunity to put good men in office in place of bad. Gov. Small is painted as an official who turned into the state treasury $600,000 with the understanding that the state would drop the million dollar suit against him; Frank L.Smith is described as a chairman of the commission that regulated public utilities and as a campaigner who was backed by public utilities' funds; Robert E. Crowe is charged with such lack of law enforcement that Cook county is undergoing a reign of gang terror; and Mayor Thompson is described as a hippodrome mayor who is seeking to extend his power all over the state. §'Opposed to the Thompson--Small--Smith slate is a group that is eking to bring about reforms in state politics. Emmerson, Carl-- strom, Glenn, and Stratton have received the endorsement of practically every thinking citizen. They are the agents through which Illinois' spring cleaning can be done. They are the men who are leading thousandssof voters in the war against political corruption. Let us help them prove that Illinois cannot be exploited forever by Small's administration. If Frank Smith had not violated the rules of political decency by accepting a campaign contribution of some $225,000 from util-- ity heads over whose destinies he p resided by virtue of his chair-- manship of the Hiinois Commerce Commission a decided major-- ity of the United States senate nor a substantial majority of the people.of Illinois would object to his representation of this state. That is the real issue Smith faces, nor can he evade it by shoulder-- ing the responsibility of his indiscretions onto the people. Illinocis republicans have no fight with the United States senate because of its refusal to seat Smith, and he is mistaken if he thinks they have. s And it isn't likely the party will place its stamp of approval on Smith's widely advertised campaign methods and chance another rebuff at the senate door by again nominating him, through the misapprehension it is at all involved in the issue. Plainly stated the only issue is whether Illinois republicans approve Smith's acceptance of huge campaign contributions at the hands of utility magnates who had no other option if they were to protect the interests of their stock holders and bond hold-- ers and whose welfare, to an extent unappreciated by laymen, rested with the Commerce Commission over which Frank Smith presided. *«~a. Further, there are many Illinois republicans who regard the term "contribution" in its relation.to Smith's campaign fund as the very essence of charity. Men charged with the responsibility of Tllinois great utilities &re not the sort to willingly "contribute" hundreds of thousands of dollars to one man's campaign. Rather was their inspiration born of necessity. .. . Cheerfully tnisunderstanding Illinois' chagrin and interpreting his grievance as 'the people's Frank Smith has the termity to de-- clare: "I am in the campaign to demand the redress of your griev-- ance and for no other purpose." ¥ :.: TO FIGHT RACKETEERS The Employers' Association of Chicago is fighting a battle for the very life of business in that city. The Employers' Association is doing something about it. It means to fight to the last man and to the last dollar in the interest of Chicago business. Already it has been able to stop, at least for the present, 27 rackets, put two entirely out of business, and has apprehended, had indjcted® and convicted two racketeers, five years in Joliet, $1,000 fine each, and hasn't yet scratched the sur-- face of this damnable blight. ' The system of coftspiracy to extract graft from business, known as "racketeering," is costing business of the city millions of dollars per year and is causing other communities to class it as the capital city of "suckers." The system breaks windows, bombs buildings, assaults> em-- ployers and employes, commits murder, and goes blithely on fas-- tening itself deeper into the business structure. Insurance com-- pames are boosting their rates; Chicago is being avoided by for-- eign business ; conventions refuse to return there after being sub-- jected to all manner of graft known to crafty extortionists. And that, after all else he has done to us. ITbhe Lake County Register FRANK H.
