Entered inthe postoffice at Winnetka, Illinois, as mail matter of the second class, under the act of March 3, mm ) FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1919 | Cur Ailment And Its Cure We have arrived somewhere when we come to a diagnosis of the ill from which we are suffering. We know how serious the condition is, and we can find out what must be done to correct it. We have had various diagnoses of our national ailment whose promin- ent symptom is the high cost of liv- ing, but none which has the practical sound that placing the responsibility upon the lowered production of all the essentials of life has. This brings the situation down to one of supply and demand, and into the under- standing of everybody. We need not look far for the cure. Everybody holds it within his own hands, at least a contribution to it. It is work. During the war we were able to establish the slogan, "Work or Fight," and to make every able-bodied man accept it as his own, on penalty of arrest. We ought to be able to main- tain the universal application to some useful task, even under the industrial conditions* of today. It is quite as important now for everybody to do what he can to that end. This is no time for idleness and waste. The welfare of the country demands ap- plication to some useful task and the young manhood, as well as of the contribution of the strength of the womanhood of the nation, to the production of a sufficient amount of materials needful for the life of the people. Instead of the adoption of this pro- gram of universal work we have had the sorry sight of men and women banded together to demand the short- est possible working day. We have seen the supply of food materials de- stroyed, or stored with the deliberate We have so generally as to the reduction of the supply. seen the be almost universal, temptation to seize the opportunity to make a little before the time has passed in which exploitation of the public is possible. It is this nation, yielding to the money general disposition to profiteer--ior profiteering may cover any action that has for its purpose the cutting | down of the supply, even by a refusal to work except for terms that are unjust--that accounts for all the financial difficulties which all but the very few hove to face. Organization of groups of men makes it possible for demands to be insisted upon. That same-organiza- tion could be utilized to break up the condition of lessened production and the early reduction of the cost of living, if the people who compose them were but minded to utilize their power for that. altruistic purpose. This is what we are coming to, what we must come to if we are ever tions that beset us today. Wz must be willing to sacrifice the little in order that the great good may come out of it. We must accept our indi- vidual share of the general work of reorganization if. we are to be freed from the present burdens. It is not the fault of any single person or group of persons that things are as 'they are. Everyone who is not do- ing all that he can to offset the shortage with which we must reckon, either by adding to the production or by saving in his consumption, or 1 | petit ions be Winnetka Man Holds North Shore Favors De Young and Miller As'Con-Con' Delegates By Frederick W. Burlingham The Seventh Senatorial district and the Township of New Trier are fac- ing an interesting situation in the coming primary election to be held on September 10. There are two to be elected in each district, and under the law the nominations are to be made by parties in order to comply with our present constitutional requirzments: | Since the district is overwhelmingly Republican the Democrats have not put up any candidates at the primar- ies; the result of this will be that on election day there will be no candi- dates in the democratic column. Hence the Republican nominees will have the immense advantage of be- ing unopposed unless | independent filed later. Under these circumstances the primary assumes the importance: of an election and we must look at the nominees with more than ordinary care. While other distnicts in Cook county are weak in their nominees. the Republican organization here has given us every reason to be proud of the situation. In presenting Frederic R.:DeYoung of Harvey and Amos -C. Miller of Kenilworth they have honored them- selves and New Trier as well. Mr. DeYoung's fine service in' the Legislature is still fresh in our minds. He lead the fight on the floor for the passage of the measure calling the Constitutional Convention, served usefully on the éxecutive committee which secured its adoption by the people and now will bring to the convention itself experience and capacity that will make him a leader in this most vital work. Mr. Miller lives in New Trier which is thus honored in furnishing a worthy running mate to Mr. De Young. He is a level headed, hard fighting lawyer who has the distinct advantage of official connection and active work with one of our success- ful manufacturing corporations. His tireless industry and sound judgment cannot fail to make him a man in the convention. William H. Malone deserves a word of comment, inasmuch as he has al- ready started a vigorous advertising campaign for himself. He uses the ti worn but still pular appeal that he is going to protect our pocket-books and tell of his heroic fight when the * 3 ible government" and 'leg machinery" c 1 to abol State Board of ualization: if Mr. Malone's memory were only better he would remember elected in 1912 definitely pledged by his 1¢ Board of Equalization. In other words he used the cry for a much needed reform to get himself elect ed--he got elected and enjoyed the office so much for seven years--that when the reform became a possibility he forgot his pledge to the people and fought against it, and now seeks to use his own betrayal of his pledge as a badge of merit to get the people to give him another job. That's tha sort of a candidate the people can get along without. Call Malone Small Tax Payers' Champion Friends of William H. Malone, candidate for delegate to represent the Seventh Senatorial district at the Illinois Constituional Convention, have presented the following pertin- ent facts in support of Mr. Malone's candidacy.

Walsh, labor leader, says: that it is not essentially larger wages! that the men of the organization with which he is associated are con- cerned, nor even a matarially short- ened working day. What they are seeking is a newer and better plane of life. If he speaks for organized labor in the United States, the world must pause to admire the aspiration while lamenting the methods by which it would be realized. The higher and better plane of life has little to do with income, beyond what is necessary to provide shelter and sufficient food and clothing for comfort. It.comes from within, from i individual aspiration after the better things, from ambition and a determi- nation to take to oneself the advan- i tages that are offered and to resist the temptation into the easy ways. of the shiftless and the easily amused. Today we have the nomalous situa- ition of the milk man enjoying an in- 'come about equal to that of the col- | lege instructor. That he does not con- "duct his life on the higher and better | plane that the educated man insists upon and sacrifices to maintain, is not the fault of the money that comes in and goes out. It results from the different ideals and stand- ards that are entertained and set in the household. : Bible School Opening Reverend J. W. F.
