WILMETIE LEGION The Wilmette Post of the merican Legio n did three good thing for a needy ex-service man . He had a wife and three children. First, they got him a good job. econd, they "staked" him to a week's wages. Third, they bought him commutation tickets. It is just such deeds as these that show the vitality of an organization.

Why is it that even though the sentiment of most citizens is strongly against graft and misgovernment, still time after time ba'd men are elected? Why are incompetent candidates put into office and good men snowed under at the polls? It is obviously because "good" ci~izens are very often theoretically good, not practically good. The supporters of the weak candidates usually have something concrete at stake while their opponents are merely emotionally troubled by the thought .of graft, etc. The "bad" citizens vote; the "good" citizens are not interested. Is it not true, then, that poor candidates are elected by indi ffcrent "good" citizens? It is certainly a well -known fact that politfcal henchmen count on this indifference to further their own cause. If .only a very small percentage of the well-intentioned voters go to the polls on April 8, our notorious state administration will be put into power again. Let us set a good example to the whole country h going to the polls lOO PER CENT STRONG ON APRIL 8! HE 1924 automobile dealer will be a specialist in 1924 automotive transportation problems.

He will be bigger, more capable, and. more able to serve the needs of the local car owner.

The topic remind us of what we've ahvays believed. namely that one's best picture was a picture of one when he was at his best. This meeting is to be a Y. M. C. A. gathering, and all north shore young men, or older boys, are invited to be present. If there is any one thing for which the "Y" is notable it is for its insistence on the p.o ssibility of improving one's intelligence and character.

It isn't worth much to know what your friends say ahout you; they're usually blind in one eye . But your acquaintances-what do they ay ahout you? Do you suppose that they regard you as one who thinks a little too highly of himself? Or if you are a lady do they say, "She's like her mother, don't vou know: somewhat hasty in condemning people. and a " trifle underbred. Be ide s. I suspect that !'he tries awfully hard to be clever?" It's difficult to see ourselves a!:' other, see us. Tt's such a strain on the imagination to look at ourselves! And even after we have in a certain sense got .ourselves objectified. we still look from a prejudiced point of view. Burns makes it quite plain to us that if we could only see ourselves as other see us it might put us on the road to self-correction. And Reade, the novelist, . uggests that we put ourselves in the place of others. The Golden Rule, also, advises self-examination. Good, we say, but how, when I see my reflection in the mirror, can I also see the fellow that's doing the looking? However, it can be done. We can introspect. Even though the looking within is not a looking at the present but rather an observing of the immediate past, still thL observation is accurate. We know v.·hen we have spoken harshly to a friend or when we have done a disgusting thing or when we have failed to do our best. One of the prime factors in inteJligence is the ability to criticize one's self. The less of that ability one has the less his intelligence. What a change would come over the world if all who have this power would exercise it twice as much as they now do I Ful611ing a Civic Need THE North Shore Line is an important part of the foundation on which grows the industrial prosperity and civic progress of the territory it serves. Its fast, frequent and comfortable service is instrumental in bringing to its communities new citizens, new homes and new industries. In anticipating the future needs of its ever growing patronage, ·the North Shore Line is constantly adding new equipment, providing new stations and developing new ability to maintain and improve the comfortable and convenient service which is making possible a greater and more prosperous north shore. 0000 LOSSES It's good that some things are lost; not merely misplaced, but irretrievably lost. Usually a ·loss j..; not good. People feel sad about it. But then again s.ome Josse are welcomed. Did you read of the burglar who, some weeks ago, lost his kit of tools " in Kenilworth? He didn't lose them in the sense that he didn't know where they were. He knew that he had left them behind. but he didn't care to come back and get them. Well, this is what might be called a good loss. The bmglar is better off minus his tool , and so are his prospective victims . Many a human body has been relieved by the loss of its ton ils or appendix. These undesitable members were poi oning the entire organism, and it's good that they're gone. They used up nourishment that would have strengthened the good organs. Good-bye to these bad organs and good riddance! Many men leave public office, and nobody is sorry. They have been feeding on the body politic, viciou.s grafts sucki ng out the life juices that should have gone to the useful members. The going of such men i a good loss.
