Man and Politics,

Rock Island, March 31-Editor
Argus: l was much interested in
your editorial on MANS Ignorance
of Politics." which, according to the
article referred to, consists in man
aging to get elected, then devoting
their efforts to getting reelected.
With this as definition of poll
tics. it would be possible to prove
that among our present candidates
for state and county Offices we have
men who are past masters in the
art of politics, and the above def
milton of politics seems to be their
chief qualification. Whether their
Office calls for the enforcement of
laws or the making of laws, these
are secondary matters-the SUI
preme duty is to hold Office or
change Office.
Neither in office nor out of Office
has their life produced anything of
the nature that could under the
most liberal Interpretation be de-
fined as an act of disinterested pub
lie service. And yet they have held
and seek to hold Offices that,
worthfly filed. would make the oc,
cupant thereof public benefactor.
Take. for instance. the duty to en-
force the prohibition law: law
that has for its object the guarding
Of the innocent, the protection of
the weak and the curbing OF the
vicious: a law of the people, for
the people and by the people. Dc
our representatives of the majesty
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-04-01

of the law see that it is upheld?
Do they ensure the guarding of the
innocent, the protection of the
weak and the curbing of the vic
ious and lawless?
Then, inasmuch as they nullify
that law by failure to enforce it,
they are the friends of the lawless
and the vicious, and the betrayers
of the innocent and the weak who
fall a prey to the bootlegger and
the hooch peddler.
The standing joke of the day is
the soft drink parlors with the IS"
left off soft. With the announce
ment of the coming to the city OF
the flying squadron, in the inter
est of law enforcement, civic right

the governor to appoint an educa-
tional commission to study the en-
tire educational system of the state
and recommend needed changes.
This commission has been studying
the high school problem carefully
and will probably suggest sweep
ing changes in the present law.
The school question, especially
as relates to community high
schools and consolidated schools,
will be one of the most important
problems before the legislature
next winter. 1t will pay all of us
to study it carefully. We want to
give our boys and girls an oppor-
tunity fer a good education. We
also want our taxes reduced, and
the biggest tax of all is the school
tax.
How can we reduce school taxes
without hurting the schools? We

who can suggest a way out, and
especially those who have had ex-
