ULINI BOULEVARD
LATELY DEDICATED
WITH CELEBRATION

The Illini boulevard, said to be one
Of the longest pavements in the west,
was recently dedicated by a mammoth
celebration in Lincoln, Ill.
The pavement extends from CHI
cago to st. Louis, a distance of 300
miles, and passes through many ira
pOrtant illinois cities, among them,
Joliet Pontiac, Bloomington, Lincoln,
Springfield, Carlinyille and Edwards
wife.
There are still few short breaks
in the route. but at that the pavement
is practically continuous.
II is said to be the first important
line Of road in Illinois in which the
straight route plan was adopted in
construction. This applies especially
to the route from Joliet to Springfield
which is almost direct. The road from
Springfield to St. Louis and from
Joliet to Chicago was built earlier
and is therefore not quite direct. 1t
Is claimed that this route is rs miles
shorter than any other route from
St. Louis to Chicago.
picturesque part of the route is
at Funk's grove, southwest of Bloom
hgton where it passes through a
!o,OOO acre tract of timber the largest
llfaet remaining in Illinois. This tim
eer land is said to be practically as
II was when the first white settlers
came to Illinois.

Nail This Membership Lie!

Unemployed workers and workers on
strike do not pay per capita tax-they
cannot. But they are union members,
just the same.
There is no way of knowing with
ANYTHING like statistical accuracy at
any time what is the total union mem
bership.
But everything that has any bearing
on the subject goes to prove that union
strength is as great as it was at the
peak; and that it is GOING UPWARD.
President Samuel Gompers of the
A. F. of L. recently said publicly that
there are SIX MILLION ORGANIZED
WAGE FARMERS in the United
States. That is the best and most
authoritative statement available.
The American Federation of Labor
is at top strength; and it is growing
stronger every day.
Tell that to those whose wish Is
father to the thought that the A. f. OF
l.. is pining away. The A. f. of L. is
on the upward sweep, a constructive
fighting organization

A ND TOW n

An evangelist gave seven reasons
why the saloon cannot come back.
One of them was that the passing OF
the saloon caused a decrease In the
number Of divorces. Somehow the
impression has become current that
divorce is on the increase. Statistics
indicate strongly that the pastor is
mistaken in at least one of his rea-
sons.
The saloon will not come back for
the reason that it spells economic loss,
and for another very good reason
that congressman will continue to
dodge TIE issue largely because it is
too delicate to handle without incur
ring the danger of defeat at the hands
of voters.
Whether we like to hear it or not
it is the economic and political infiu-
ence of prohibition that will preserve
the amendment intact, and not the
moral phase of the question.
The master swindler, Leo koretz,
who fleeced Chicago people out OF 3D.,
000,000 and escaped, is being. tried
before the bar of public sentiment
If caught he will be tried In the
courts, and probably sent up for a
period of five years.
If he had embezzled $l00 of his
employers money he would have
drawn the same sentence. 1t Is not
the amount one steals, but the fact
that he is dishonest that weighs n
fixing judgment. A man who wll
steal 500 will steal S5,000,O00 II ne

President Coolidge has freed 81 wal
prisoners. That is a Christmas GIT
to at least 81 families within the
power of the president to grant.

the work of a committee headed b!

convention, and if nominated, before
the American people on a low tax
issue in the next campaign, so his
friends assert.
Nothing quite so effectively appeals
to American people rs low taxes. To
be able to reduce taxation, and yet
foster much needed public improve
ments, Is the dream of every politi-
clan, and more often an idle dream
than otherwise. - = sss s
1t Is fact the government Is be-
coming too expensive to operate.
America is just old enough for all OF
its temporary buildings, that were
erected when the country was new, to
wear out and need replacing with
structures of a more permanent char
acter.
Wherever we have built for perman-
ency we have not built on a scale to
meet the demand of a growing popu-
lation. Our public school system is an
illustration. Everywhere school build
ings are inadequate. Children are
staying at home when they should be
in their first year In school simply
because there is no room Tor them
nor teachers enough to teacn them
nor funds enough to meet the emer'
gency.
Coolidge may be elected president
on a low tax issue, but he will not b.
able to bring the American people
low taxes in the ensuing administra-
ton.
Imagine Champaign county in tht
attitude of expecting lower taxes II
the next ten years.
The United States government
would like to arrest Grover Bergdoll
draft dodger, but it does not inten'
to countenance international law
lessness in making the arrest.
Because he allowed himself to be
come implicated in an attempt to kid
nap Bergdoll, Maj. X. p. Harbold hai
been relieved from duty in Frame
and ordered to return to America
Major Harbold is said to have allowe'
the use of an army automobile in tn
attempted kidnapping.

The men were found guilty of vio-
lating war laws. The action of the
president is generally commended, in
view of the fact that war laws passed
in emergency have long since been
repealed, or automatically rendered
null by the close of the war.
Since the laws became outlawed
the prisoners, who were charged only
with violations of war measures, have
been mcarcefated without just rea-
son.
A Wisconsin pastor was found
guilty on a charge of disorderly con
duct in a Chicago court recently.
The situation was embarrassing both
for the pastor and his flock, but his
explanation that he was made the
dupe of two men in whose company
he was when arrested, appears to have
satisfied his congregation, who un-
animously voted to retain him as their
pastor.
Why not protectorate for Mexico
until that nation becomes settled
But who wants the responsibility
asks Congress. Twenty-Five years
ago the United States freed Cuba
fgrom the Spanish yoke. But Mexico
is not under the dominion of any
other nation, and would probably re-
sent a protectorate. Mexico thinks
she is quite able to take care of her
self. And so long as she maintains
that dignifed attitude. and resents
help from any quarter, it is best not
to interfere. =,
The unfortunate aspect of the
whole Mexican affair lies in the fact
that American money cannot be pro,
tected in Mexico under the present
regime. The country's resources, vast
as the are, cannot be developed with
out American ca"ital. Consequently
the country must lie dormant unit
internal conditions become sufficient
| ly calm to warrant large investment
of American money. That may not
be for a generation, perhaps longer
