VIOLIN SCHOLARSgHIP The conferring of a scho6larship in violin by, the 'North -Shore Musicians club indicates an in- tentionon the part of that ôrganization to move foirwa.rd to a broader sph«re of inifluence in north shore musical circles., Open to any violin student of the inorth Shore, from Evanston to Highland Park, between the ages. of 17 and 20, it is the purpose of the'club to fui ther the education of the scholarship winner by piacing bim under instruction by an outstanding Chicago instructor. to be'ct1osCiRbjr th~e tudent and the ommittee. While the club bas heretofore contributed in generous fashion to the North western university student boan fund, and more recently to the Woman's Symphony of Chicago, it now for the flrst time off crs a scholarship in its own right. And for this it is to be congratulated. The club is composed of north shore women primarily interested in promoting advanceiment in musical education, and the present step gives evidence of the progress it has madle. INFORMATION If there be those who are uinfaniiliar withi the advantages of paying taxes to the local assessor. or knowing choose to ignoî e them., practicai in- formation is found in the calling for payment of 1933 tax anticipation warrants byv the vario1uw school districts of New Trier. township. From manies distributed direçtiyto. local, taxing bodi es by Coliector Satiborh Hale, during the short period the tax books were in his posses sion. ta-x warrants to the total of $262,200 were called for payment by the school boards of Winnetka, Ken- ilworth, Wiimette and New Trier Higli school. lnx the "Public'Forum" of this paper a contribu- tor lait week preached a long sermon in a few words froni the texti, "What profiteth a man with Rumnan Rights and no Property? Wbat satisfieth a ~man .with P.operty Rights and no Hunianity ?' Ever word of the tex: is laden wit&odfr ~~u~~hon the, apparent conflict now binýg waged would flot only be contrary to oui history. hut repugnant toc every fine American sensibility. In no country of the world bas so bigb à value been put upon human rights, nor have they anywhere been so jealously guarded. It is equally difficult to even 'imagine that any faction bas the serious purpose of destroying in- dividuai property rights ýon the fallacious theory that thereby perfection'in human rights will be attainied.. That, also is shocking ta the. -American mind, trainedl té the belief that without onàe the other is a useless tbing. The sound judgment of the contributor ýis,. we believe, characteristic of 'Aiericanls as- a whoie. Therefore, the contention assumes -the color of poli- ticai chicanery. A %G-OOD RECO-RD In the closing hours of 1934, the people oif Cook county can look back upon a record of crime suppression and elimination that cannot but bMing a sense of ieatiiufation, and give ise to the hope that eventually the forces of iawiess- ness may be conquered and tbe'streets, highwa%*s and homes made safe for citizens. The determined, vigorous and reientiess attack upon tbe citadels of crime instigated by State's Attorney Thomas J. Courtney and sustained throughout the year has brought a measure of success that must strike terrorto the hearts o.! the. underworid, w.hose greatest fear is of swift and reientless justice. That attack bas shown a coinpiete comprebension of the crime situation* and a courageous and intelligent planning tn combat it that is refreshing. Striking at thie ver"" bcéart of the problem, the county's chjef lam, enforcing officer made provision for the prompt trail of malefactors, thus robbing them of their most potent means of escape, continuances of cases until witnesses had. disapýpeared or become, so frigbtened througb threats of.bodilv injury that the%, would not testify. Whereas crim'inais form'- erly were able to drag cases out for one. two or even tbree years. they arc now hrought to trial within thirty days. Tbe tremendous task undertaken by the state's attorney's office. and the importance of the success, so far achieved. may be more ful appreciateci for 1934. Whethcr seeing eye ta cye with the state's at- torney in matters political or not, one cannoi wthhold approval of his administration of bis office in the interest of law and order.
