THE GOVERNOR It goes without question that the Governor of Illinois should be one who has the respect and confidence of the people of the State. Deneen and Lowden, Re- publicans, and Dunne, a Demo- crat, had this honor, and no cit- jzen found it necessary to blush or apologize for the Chief Exe- cutive when they were in com- mand at Springfield. A well known resident of the north shore, who occasionally makes trips out of the State, says; "I am tired of having peo- ple, when I am in other States, ask me, 'has yor governor got in the penitentiary yet?' It does not make one proud of Illinois and it is extremely humiliating." On April 8, the Republicans will have an opportunity to rect- ify the great mistake the party made when Len Small, of Kan- _kakee, was made its candidate for £OVernor, His notorious and un- "savory record mn that omce 1s tal 'well known to need setting out here. let us hope that this great State will never again be so wep flicted. In State Senator Thurlow G. Essington, of Streator, we have a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination who enjoys the res- pect and confidence of. all the people. He is a man of the high- est character, and his six years' service as a member of the State Senate has fully equipped him to discharge the duties of the high office of Governor. He made a most excellent impression upon the occasion of his recent visit to Wilmette. The Republicans along the north shore should give him a solid vote, and there is every indication that this section of Cook county will do its full duty upon primary day. HOW TO BE HAPPY THOUGH UNMARRIED Our editorial of some weeks ago on "How to be unhappy though married" met with such great success that we have de- cided, after much solicitation, to offer a sequel. So many people were helped by the sound sense displayed in this first discussion that we cannot refrain from help- ing a few more, devoting our at- tention this time to the unmar- ried. In the first place we urge those not yet married to get all" the help they can from the fact that while there's life there's hope. The past and the present are hopeless; the future, alone, is hopeful. Therefore, unmarried friends, take the attitude of the soothsayer, who when Julius Caesar tauntingly said to him, "The Ides of March have come!" astutely replied, "Yes, Caesar, but not gone!" Emphasize this fact for all it's worth--it's worth lots. Number two. Adopt the phi- losophy animating the time-sea- soned truth, "What will be will be." Make the best of every sit- uation ; no hope need be forlorn. Look the whole world in the face. Finally, become an aunt or uncle, as the sex may be, to all your young friends. And, above all, insist that you like it. Don't think that being an aunt or uncle will prevent you from being ac- cepted or proposed to when your soul-mate arrives. So, you see, it is not hard to be happy, even though unmarried. QUO VADIS? In order to act intelligently a man must have some notion, how- ever faint, of what he is up to. And, if he is not to be a slave, that notion must be his own notion. He himself must realize, unless he is willing to be some- thing less than a man, to what large and distant ends he is com- Iy_he must have some sort of of religion. **No you know where you are ung? Are you living a life of mere habit, the life of the dog or the tree? Are your aims imposed upon you by others or are they your own? Whither are you go- ing? Perhaps you know the story of the old negro, who on a summer's day was walking down the rail- road track past the jail. He was hailed by a prisoner from one of the prison windows. "What do you want?" asked the old negro. "What time is it?" said the con- vict. At once the darkie replied, "What do you want to know for? You ain't goin' nowhere!" Are you that man in the prison, "goin' nowhere?" Read the religious editorials appearing in these columns every week. "Forward Into belonged to us. ing the twelve-month past.

Is your child getting all he or she can get out of life? It is not natural for a child to have headaches or to be cross and irritable, to become sick when riding a car, to be nervous or have styes! There is a reason for any of these symptoms which can be removed and Eye-Strain is oftimes the cause. To have good vision does not eliminate the possibility of Eye- Strain. A thorough examination alone will determine the presence of Eye-Strain. Dr. O. H. BERSCH, Optometrist 1177 Wilmette Avenue Opposite Village Hall For appointments phone Wil. 2766 or res.
