Build a New Village Hall. Enforce the Traffic Laws. Build the Truck Road. Vote at Every Election. IT'S YOUR PRIVILEGE! Maybe you don't think so, but it is, anyhow! Make up your mind now to cast your vote at every one of the April elections. It is the real privilege of every American citizen to choose his own public servants. It is your privilege to choose your own representatives. If you are a little uncertain as to f@w much you think of this privi- pge, just imagine the protest youd make if somebody tried to take it away from you. Use this privilege. You're happy to be living on the North Shore. You can make it a still more desirable district. If it can be said in the public press that ninety per cent of ~~ North Shore voters were present at the April polls what a tribute that will be to the civic loyalty of North Shore citizens! - FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY reccdom and responsibility, i two must always go to- ver. The only man who can 3 Tafely trusted with freedom "the responsible man. The man ~ who is free ought to be held re- sponsible. The man who can do , as he thinks best must be held ' answerable for what he does. The / man who must answer for what ke does must be free. A real man 1s free AND responsible, respon- - sible AND free. "7 desire is Young people do not learn this lesson easily. They want to be free, but they are not eager to be responsible. What they really license, not liberty. Somehow or other they hope to '~ escape the unpleasant consequen- \/ ces of their free actions. A young \ " man legally assumes citizenship at twenty-one. He assumes real manhood when he learns that he who is truly free is responsible. We hold nobody responsible who is not able to improve. A + lunatic can not improve himself. He can not be responsible. You ought, therefore, to feel com- / plimented if you are held respon- ~ sible because it means that there \ { f § I I \ aT < | { i - 1 | | | is still hope for you. President Coolidge recently assumed re- sponsibility for the control of his cabinet members. We were proud of him for so acting. The act showed him a really free man. Be free AND RESPONSIBLE! THE GREEN TICKET The March ticket is green. For two reasons--the 17th and the 21st. 'This is. the 'month of the Irish and the Spring Poet. And so the. ticket is green, hue _ of the Emerald Isle and of all fresh young things. There's nothing else green this time-o- year. At the present writing we don't know whether March will be a lamb or a lion. It may be a spring lamb with mint sauce or an equinoctial lion without sauce. In either case it will be March. That statement shows that we believe in the uniformity of nature. We now go on to describe nature, the dear old thing not be- N ing able to describe herself. The buds on the shad-bush are swell- ing ever so slightly. On the Honduras honeysuckle-bush signs. of May bloom are already in evidence. The gulls are soar- ing here and yon in a restless fashion as if anticipating the coming beach parties, when the sands will be strewn with many a choice old wurst or sardine. Every day the sun comes south a little further and gets up a little bit earlier, retiring a little bit later. This is a notable case of burning the candle at both ends and ought to be stopped. The moon also is waxing and waning with her well-known reg- ularity. We don't blame her, as, apart from causing the tides, she has nothing else of importance to do. And so on. USE A SLEIGH "O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh--and not in'a Ford!" Especially from Barrington to and from Dundee on Route 22 on Sunday, February 24, 1924. In the first place we didn't have any chains. In the same place much of the road was covered with drifted snow through which what little traffic there was had worn two deep ruts. From Bar- rington to Dundee we went pretty nicely, but the reverse movement irritated our usual Sunday calm. Our (editorial) wife started it all. "Wouldn't it be lovely to ride to Barrington along the Dun- dee road and get dinner at that nice little hotel (not an ad) that we saw over there last summer?" We were tempted and fell. As before said the ride to B. was very pleasant. Almost no other cars on the road. The air comfortably cool. The pace, fifteen miles an hour, was restful. The dinner met our expectations. We went on. There's where we made the big mistake. We shouldn't have "went on." Why? Because we had to come back from Dundee. We left that pleasant Fox River town all set for a continuous home trip. But soon we waded into one of those big drifts. The Ford stopped. We got out and pushed while the Missus drove. Once out of that snowy slough we rolled merrily on. Soon we struck another and again stalled. With the welcome help of two husky farmer-boys we got past that horrible stretch. Well, we got into and out of that very same sort of thing several other times. And, O friends, how happy we were when we got back to Barrington! Moral: Go sleigh-riding in a sleigh. The traction is better. AMERICA'S FOUNDATION America's foundation is the public school. On that solid basis is built our country's welfare. What we older people have ac- quired cannot be transmitted to our children. Our habits, good and bad, will die with us. In and of themselves, merely, our institutions are of no value. Apart from the effect that have on human beings they might better not be at all. So what profit is there if America's citizens have formed good habits and developed splendid institutions? No value unless these habits and institutions are so brought to bear upon the young as to bring about in them good habits. Teachers cannot really inculcate anything into the pupils. The most they can do is to put before their pupils objects that will stimulate in them valuable reac- tions, which will in turn lead to the formation of good habits. If this occurs then the habits of the elders and the traditional institu- tions will really have been worth while. It is in the free public schools that these reactions should occur most frequently and in the great- est number of boys and girls. And only as good habits are formed in young Americans will the future of the our country be secure. As the education of our coming citizens develops Amer- ica herself develops. America's foundation is the public school. On the Railroad Depends the Life of the Nation The Charles A. Coffin Medal awarded to the North Shore Line for distinguished contri- bution to the develop- men' of electrical transportation for the convenience of the public and the benefit of the industry. IKE a spider's web, a great net-work of railroad lines radiate from Chicago to the farther-most ends of the country. On this web depend the life, prosperity and growth of our Nation. Everywhere along the separate strands of this structure are great cities, enormous industries-- big producing centers. Their birth, growth and present wealth are due to the presence of the railroad. And because they grew and prospered, railroad service improved, progressed and expanded. Numbered among the myriad threads of this great web is the North Shore Line which has proved an important factor in the industrial, civic and finan- cial development of the territory from Chicago, along the north shore to Milwaukee. Today, this territory is a thriving, prosperous sec- tion of more than 4,000,000 people and the richest, healthiest market in the world. The North Shore Line is the direct route between the central business districts of Chicago and Milwaukee and intermediate points. Its fast, frequent service provides a most convenient means of transportation. There is a train whenever you want one.
