Street Car Line A majority of Fourth street merchants are anx ious to eliminate the street car line which is a men- ace to sife traffic. Petitions are being circulated to present to the city commission for action. Main | street business men are as interested as others in! hbolishing the car line and having installed a/ modern bus capable of handling as many persons | as the street operates the c state employ The same employe who now r could be employed on the bus and could be sold tickets which would take them to the state house for the same fare paid now. Paving between the tracks could proceed and the | development of Fourth street would progress bet ter, It is well known that considerable traffic has been driven from Fourth street because of the dan- ger involved. It is impossible to pass the street car under the system of parking now followed. It is to be hoped that the petitions will be signed generally and that some action will be taken. The state authorities should welcome the settle- ment of the matter, as the street car is being run at a loss. A bus could be operated cheaper and give better service and take in a wider area than is the case with the state owned street car line. Cities of considerable size are discarding surface street car lines, as the bus or jitney does the work more efficiently and cheaper. Squared Away for Battle Regular Republicans are squared for battle in Wisconsin. They have nominated in a state-wide convention Roy P. Wilcox, an Eau Claire attorney, who split with the La Follette machine years ago when the leaders of that faction became too radical. The contest in the Badger state will be of interest to Republicans throughout the nation. Wisconsin has never been able in years to throw off the La Foilette machine yoke. Mounting taxes, multipli- | cation of boards and commissions, the invasion of machine politics in the management of the state university and the imposition of burdensome regu- lations upon corporations failed to turn the voters from Robert M. La Follette. ‘Now the driving force of his personality is gone His son, a candidate for the senatorahip, lacks his father’s fire and power of oratory. He is neces- sarily inexperienced in organization work and prac- tical politics. Conservative forces of the state promise that the ‘campaign will be a “hummer.” The: great danger lias in a division of the anti-La Follette forces. Several independent candidates are in the field. Continuous Schools Many cities are investigating the value of all-year schools. In Chicago, the recommendation has been made ‘by school authorities that such schools be established. It is proposed that there be five terms of ten weeks each, and.that four terms be obliga- tory, leaving to the discretion of the parents the matter of a vacation. Students, under the proposed plan, can attend the five terms if they so desire and teachers have the option of teaching the four or five term period. In large cities where parents fing it hard to con") | the Amer Editorial Comment | Notes on Breakfasts (New York World) | And now comes Carl Van Vechten, in the current American Mercury, with a long discussion of the breakfasts he has eaten. His repertoire, it seems, includes, sausages, ‘bacon and eggs, fried steak, Sally Lunn, sinkers, kippers, bloaters, marmalade, honey, butter cakes, chicken breast, hard boiled egg and deer. Very good, Mr. Van Vechten, but have you ever tried beans? If you have not, you have a most fawity understanding of breakfasts, to say nothing of history. Beans are the most notorious American ‘breakfast there is. They were served to van army in France every morning, rain, snow, or shine, just after reveille. Sometimes they were plain, sometimes they went with bacon, some- times they were embellished with a slice of pickle on the side. The ostensible theory breakfast was its caloric value. he real theory wag that any soldier who had eaten such a breakfast would be mad enough to lick a whole platoon of Germans. Well, it was hard while it lasted, but it worked. We won the war. Does anybody know of another 100 per cent American brea 2 underlying this Jumping Bail (Chicago Tribune) Nearly six million dollars of forfeited bail bonds remain uncollected in Cook county. That is one substantial reason why the law is| not feared in this community. Virtually every un- collected forfeit represents a failure of justice, an evasion of lawful punishment for offenses against the law. At the last session of the legislature an attempt was made to restore the law making bail forfei- ture create a direct lien on the Property of the signer of the bond. It was the repeal of this law in 1919 that has made forfeiture uncollectible, and the crime commission urged its restoration after thoroughly disclosing the extent of the evil. But Lee O'Neil Browne, one of the bosses of the late legislature, defeated a conservative measure and so the forfeiture situation remains as it was. Mean- while Judge David has suggested the adoption by the courts of a rule forbidding the setting aside of a forfeiture until the defaulter has been taken, tried and convicted or acquitted. Certainly such a rule should be adopted and enforced. No defend ant should be released in bond if he has once defaulted. Jumping bail is one of the chief meth ods of escaping the clutches of the law and a method we ought to be able to remove from ‘the technic of professional crime. At the next session the state bar associations and such civic organizations as may ‘be interested to combat the scandalous immunities of the crim- inal owght to make such a demand upon the leg- islature for correction of the batl bond evil a3 even its unscrupulous directors dare not refuse. More American Toys (Nation's Business Magazine) Our Mr. Claus who usually calls with a full line of samples about Dec. 1, has ‘been enlarging his workshop since 1904, says the gossip department of commerce, For 1923, the latest year for which production figures are available, the output of toys and games in the United States was valued at $56,- 066,432, a valuation more than three times that for 1904, the department explains. In 1904, Germany's exports of toys to the United States were almost equal to the domestic produc- tion. By the end of 1914, the German toys were 85 per cent of the imports into this country, and they were valued at $7,718,854, or about 66 per cent of the total American production. In 1923, German toys, valued at $7,423,725, were 88 per cent of the total imports, but only 13 per cent of the domestic Production. German exports to the United States during 1924 were valued at $4,332,065—lecs than two-thrids by value of those snipped during 1923. The changing political and financial conditions in Germany so affected the toy industry that her manu- facturers could not undersell manufacturers abroad, as they did after the war, and their present situa- tion is to the advantage of American toy makers. ‘The exportation of toys made in the United States has teen small in comparison with the total pro- duction, the department reports, and shows little variation for the last ten years, amounting to less than $3,000,000 in 1924. ni fo 1¥ yr rs n jto | smuggling lines, the more pi the concoted native moonshine is like- ly to be. ts st normal men will avoid taking it. their forcement goes rest of the way MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1925 Mons: a The present crusade for the stricter enforcement of prohibition will not, even if or convict all its catches.
