j As a public utility man Mr. McCarter naturally is prejudiced, _ _ probably with justification, against the senate, which has done so much since the war to earn the displeasure of big business and is i doing its best now to annoy and hamper the utilities. But the _ public will agree with him in much that he has said. On the part 4 of the average citizen, there is a growing conviction that when _1 'the senate was "reformed" it was not improved. The taxpayer _| _ sees little difference between a senate that served only big business 1| and a senate that is serving only the political ambitions of its own * radical members and a motley crew of selfish minority interests. .'

Sergt. Edward Brady looked inside and found $140 in small bills. 'We thought it might be money,' said the older boy. 'But we are Boy Scouts, and we knew the honest thing to do was to turn it over to the police so that they could find the owner.' And after giving their names and addresses to the sergeant in a businesslike fashion, they marched out again. The names of the boys were Frank Bennett and Charles Miller." _ People familiar with Boy Scouts will readily agree there is nothing unusual in performance of such deeds on the part of Scouts wherever the ofganization exists. They do such things as a matter of course. It is just usual.with them. Because of that fact Boy Scouts exert an influence that will leave impress on their generation of incalculable benefit and bring to future generations standards of honor and right other than which will be unusual. acreage in Libertyville should be sold and the money realized applied on erection of new buildings and equipment. If members of the Board of Supervisors will determine and then recognize THE INQUISITORIAL SENATE Thomas N. McCarter, president of the Public Service Corpora-- tion of New Jersey and a director of the United Gas Improvement company, sees a prophecy made by him several years ago being verified by the United States senate, a body in which he frankly admits he has lost all confidence. As we sense it there is just about unanimous opinion a county home rather than county farm should be maintained; that ma-- jority preference dictates its location in connection with the coun-- ty hospital just outside Waukegan; that the valuable county WHY NOT AS THE PUBLIC WILLS? Because the public failed to approve the particular plan sug-- gested by the Lake County Board of Supervisors for providing a proper and adequate county horme some members of the Board are piqued. They picture dire results, possible closing of the in-- stitution at Libertyville and return of dependent poor to the va-- rious townships responsible for their presence at the county farm. Of course such procedure is unlikely and unnecessary. There is temporary remedy for conditions that might call for closing of the poor house if there is a disposition to find ways and means of accomplishing temporary corrective measures. public will in 'this matter and proceed accordingly, endorsement of their plans will not be lacking at another election. It seems he.opposed the direct primary and the selection of senators by popular vote, but not for the usual reasons.. He saw in the changes the opening of the upper house of congress to "self-- seeking theorists and demagogues." If, on the other hand, the Supervisors will present a plan cohn-- forming in its essentials with easily ascertained public desire, and will fully advise the electorate of the reasonableness of necessary expenditures, we are convinced a sufficient bond issue will be authorized. If it is the attitude of the Board of Supervisors its plan or none at all must be accepted and that the public is to be disciplined because of its contrary opinion, by summary closing of the poor house, upon some pretext or other, then the situation is indeed A deep--seated conviction of Mr. McCarter is that the old sen-- ate, millionaires' club as it was, was the lesser of two evils. He points out that millionaires were never charged with leaving their sourd and conservative principles of government behind when they entered the senate nor countenanced inquisitorial interfer-- erce with orderiy business by the government.
