HOPE FOR CHICAGO
w. c. COSTELLO
Manager

Chicago did it
1t would be dense ignorance to assume
that the ousting of Big Bill' Thompson
as mayor of Chicago by the voters yes
terday, means an end of the gangsterism
which has made the name of the second
largest city in the country synonymous
with disorder and lawlessness.
But there is grain of hope for those
who have wished to see Chicago reform
itself, in the thought that nobody could
possibly be much worse than Big Bill"
How his fellow citizens have been able
to stand his blatant rawlings all these
years is something that has puzzled mil
lions of Americans outside of Chicago.
Coarseness and vulgarity indicate a
low degree of mentality, and his best
friends or most ardent supporters cam
not deny that Thompson has been coarse
and vulgar in the extreme. Some degrees
of slapstick comedy are amusing and
make friends for those who indulge in it,
but Thompson long since went beyond
the endurabe stage and became disgust
ing.
Those outside of Chicago know little
about Anton j. Cermak, who has been
chosen to succeed Thompson. There is
this much in his favor, however. A poor
and ignorant immigrant boy has fol-
lowed the trail so often followed by great
Americans-from poverty and humble
ness to wealth and influence.
Unable to speak the language when he
arrived here from Bohemia, Cermak
talked over the radio following his cleo
tion last night in faultless English, the
result of hard study in Chicago's night
schools and institutions of higher learn
ing.
One iS comnelled tO believe that q man
with enough determination and confi-
dence in himself, to make the most of the
opportunities offered him in his adopted
land, will do credit to the high honor and
office that his fellow citizens have be-
slowed upon him.
Somehow we feel that there is hope
for Chicago in Cermak's election. Ger
tainly we are thankful that Thompson
has been relegated to the discard. and II
he is kept there permanently it will not
grieve US in the least.

VISIT THE SCHOOLS

Although Public Schools week is not
officially to start until April 20, visits to
Ell Centro grammar schools may be made
all this week and will be credited to the
various schools in the city.
The purpose of Public Schools week
is to stimulate interest in school work
among the residents of the city.
Most parents believe that complying
with the law by sending their children
to school each day is showing sufficient
interest in the schools. They never visit
the schools from one end of the year to
the other, not realizing that by following
out such course they really impose a
handicap on the child.
Unless parents are familiar with the
work which the pupil is doing, they can
not be of much assistance to him, and
assistance is certainly needed as much
outside the school as it is in the class
room.
Pictures being offered as prizes to the
rooms having the largest percentage of
visitors will doubtless cause a large
number to call at the schools, for the
children are urging parents and friends
to do so in order that their particular
rooms may win. In other words, the
adults have to be more or less bribed or
harried into making the visits.
1t is regrettable that this is so. Every
American citizen should take enough
interest in our public schools to visit
them at least once year and do it will
ingly The youngsters who are sitting at
the desks there today are the Americans
who will be carrying on in another de-
cade or two.
To neglect them, to show no attention
in what they are doing, either in the way
of school work or other school activities,
is not playing quite fair with them. We
will blame them if they do not get the
utmost out of the educational advantages
that are offered them, yet we will do
little or nothing to encourage them to do
so.
Childhood, no less than maturity,
needs encouragement in order to accom-
plish its best, and visiting the schools is
a mighty good means eff encouragement.

j. D.. Adams was speaker of the
day for the Lions club yesterday
and discussed the recent action of
the farm bureau directors in pass
ing a resolution for all voters par

fair burden placed on real property

ing that property represents so per
cent of the wealth of the United
States. but pays 81 per cent OF the
taxes. One half OF the money
raised by this means goes to edu-
cation.
Stating that unless something is
done to relieve this situation, there
will be no incentive for citizens to
own their own homes. Adams
showed that 5l2 millions of dollars
is paid each year in state and
county taxes and irrigation district
