Entered at the postoffice at Winnet- ka, Illinois, as mail matter of the sec- ae class, under the act of March 3, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 IT WORKS The Pacific Coast states have gone beyond the stage of experi- ment in the imposition of the jail sentence as a means of inducing caution in the reckless person at the wheel of the high powered automobile. They have found it to be true that the old plan of the fine for speeding bore no fruit and that the detention of the of- fending driver for some days in jail or work house with the re- quirement that he contribute to the performance of the work con- nected with the institution is not regarded as an experience to be courted more than once. Now the jail sentence is being intro- duced in the middle west as a punishment for the speeder, with wonderfully effective results. The reckless driver who has no care for the safety or the comfort of the pedestrian public has a very high regard for his own ease and comfort. The traffic officers in Cleveland, where the new or- der has been instituted, have found an astonishing decrease in the number of speeders and a remarkable tendency towards the observation of the regulations which are designed to protect the public. Every successful opera- tion of the system should be re- garded bv other communities as the very best reason for its insti- tution in their own courts. DOES THIS SEEM AMBITION? Mark Antony impressed the Roman mob with his proof of |] the lack of ambition in Caesar. "Thrice did I offer him a kingly |} crown, which he did thrice re- fuse." So has it been with Mr. Arthur Balfour, British gentle- man, who, during his long life of public service has stead- fastly declined the honor of knighthood offered him by a grateful crown. Thrice has he been offered a peerage, which he has thrice refused, but the evi- dences now are that he is about to yield to persuasion and will accept an earldom. It is rather a vity, a loss to the British demo- cratic spirit, that this man who has stood in positions of promi- nence, who has always considered the plain title of "Mister" the most honorable that he could car- ry, should, in the end, forego his determination to stand as a repre- sentative of "the people" and ac- cept a new-made position in the aristocracy. & A MATTER OF EXPEDIENCY Trial and retrial of sensational cases in the courts is growing wearisome to the newspaper read- ing public. Juries that fail to reach a verdict are no longer sub- jects of interest. When they cease to be regarded as news, perhaps they will be less frequent. The hung jury is not a development of the mixed jury. It is only that that new feature offers a new point of view from which to present it to the public. The situation presents only another phase of the question of the propriety of jury service for women, which must be thoroughly discussed before it will be accepted as being the natural thing, just as have come to be accepted. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 It isn't accident, nor coincidence, as Thomas Edison and Dr. Charles W. Eliot celebrate their birthdays by a full day's work. It is the habit of their life that is not changed, even when the eighty- eighth milestone is being passed. It is the habit of work that has brought them to the point which they have reached in achievement, the habit of work that persists so long as they are physically able to perform the task set. The hale and hearty as they approach the end of the journey of life, those who delight still in the running of the course which they have entered upon, are al- ways the workers of the world. It is they alone who know the real joy of life, for they have joined battle for some cause and have won a victory over the ob- stacles which they have encount- ered. d-o-b DAS This is the time of year when people are likely to forget the healthful qualities of fresh air. At the end of the winter the habit of being indoors, the desire to economize on fuel by shutting out the outside air and keeping the warm room warm and close, the shrinking from cold that the superheated house develops, com- bine to keep women and children deprived of the fresh air that they need to maintain their resistence against cold and the diseases that are akin to colds. A well ventil- ated house is the best sort of life insurance, particularly at this sea- son. WATCH for the JANS-LAMKE FULL PAGE NEXT WEEK PAGE THREE MAN, Republican candidate for Representative in the General Assembly of Illinois from the Seventh Senatorial District to be voted for at the Primaries on April 11th, 1922. Mr. Waterman is a success- ful farmer, banker and busi- ness man who has resided in this district all his life. His record as Highway Commissioner, Supervisor and Member of High School Board show that he stands for: "An efficient and eco- nomical administration of public affairs. Constructive and pro- gressive legislation. A square deal for all." Upon his record in public office, his high character, ex- perience and public spirit, he is endorsed by the Legisla- tive Voters League and by representative citizens in all parts of the district. CELEBRATING WITH WORK |" nor posing that makes men such |g HOFFMAN Peter Hoffman, 18 years Coroner of Cook County, now candidate on the Republican Primary Ticket for SHERIFF The affairs of the Coroner's office have been efficiently handled. You can't find much to criticise. I'm out for Sheriff because I am confident I can give you people what you expect. It's a big job but I can do 'er! Crooks and bandits have been too gay. There are too many of them uncaught and unpunished. Funds are provided for a good number of men---if they are the right men---the kind I propose to have. You want safety on the county highways, protection outside of municipality limits. You want a 'tight' jail---and a full one! You want a go-getter sheriff. Don't your All nght--- "I Mean Business"
