Boyer of Evanston were to be more generally followed there would be a decrease in the number of cases of arrests of intoxicated automobile drivers, and not because of laxity on the part of the police. As has been abundantly evidenced to north shore | and Chicago recently the payment of a fine or money as recompense to the family of the victim of an in- toxicated man at the wheel of an] automobile is a punishment far from being fitted to the crime. Money to those who have plenty of it is a small consideration. Physical comfort is, on the other hand, a matter of very | great importance. A period in jail | is much more likely to exercise al salutary influence over the careless | driver than a fine of however great proportions. We can never hope for a noticeable amelioration of the conditions that prevail in the public until | there is a different disposition on the part of the courts and a different | standard of individual responsibilty developed through the insistence of | public opinion upon the offender | against the public safety being re- | quired to pay for the damage that he causes in some other coin than that | which passes - through the pocket. | Other communities have tried other | methods and found them effective. | It is about time that Chicago and the | environs should awaken to the need | for a change of policy. streets The Fcrest Preserve | | Possession of the Skokie valley by | the public is assured in the decision | upon its purchase as a part of the | forest preserve, an assurance that is pleasing to the people of the en-| virons of Chicago who have seen the | possibilities of getting out into the open growing fewer and fewer. We have been in danger of per- mitting the industrial spirit of the great cities to rob the public of those privileges of fresh air, sunshine and lowed the commercialism of the cen- ters of population to control lives of the people who them, all in the interest of increas- ing that commercial prosperity at whatever expense. setting about by various means to redeem some of the benefits that we have surrendered. the! the opportunity to get near to nature 'NORTH SHORE MAN GIVEN to an alarming degree.
