WBAU, cttr wit" FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1938 Star Rockets 1HC CHICAGO HEIGHTS STAR, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1931 COT Enlighten Yourtelf and Vote December 13th riTH special election only Un days off the people of Chicago Heights will be ex pected to make up their minds soon on whether they will keep the present commission form municipal government or go back to the alderman! or ward system which was abandoned in 1821. An educational program undertaken by both sides the controversy has resulted in enlightening man on the merits or demerits of either and voter should not have to vote blindly when they vial the polls on Tuesday, December 13 Arguments thus far pretented have left th burden of decision up to the public This It ns should be Twice before the people were deprive of the privilege of a referendum and a constar source ot Irritation has resulted. Many have queried the representatives of th newspaper on its position in relation to the contr The anfwer has been always that the pu linhers have feit that the people should be perm! ted the referendum and made this attitude practicM by giving publicity to the circulation of the petitions as a matter of public Interest As for the men of one jystem mer the other, that la being handlid capably by the organization i.pon»oiing the change and by the sble committee headed by Mr A. R.

Waters. So far as this newspaper Is concerned, suffice it to say that either system depends for success upon the hind of individuals elected to office Bad men will make a bad aldermanic administration and bad men can make a bad commission administration So, the kind of srstem la not so important the kind of men elected to operate the system That should be taken Into consideration by any voter "who feels that he can correct everything by going back to the old ward system or by the individual who Is smug in his belief that the commission form Is perfect At any rote, every citizen owes it to his community to give serious thought to the pi posed change And he must crystallize his thoughts into nction by voting on December 13 Thunder in the Council WANTED: ONE NEW JOKE Whether you like tt or not, the subject today's discourse is The Decline of Hwaor" or "Wtt Screwball" It out from the bet that we are getting pretty much fed up with the modern "column" of opinion and lowdown information, compared with the oJd-Uase "wlyum" which devoted exclusively to wtecndu interspersed with an occasional alleged literal) gem. This new kind of column may be interpreted as evidence of decay in writing gentry, if not ia the taste of the read- ng publir. For it te always easier to "have opto- ons on any given subject than to dig up genuinely humorous And yat you can't blame the writers so much, that. The old-timers who turned out daily ration of wisecrack material admittedly lived the life of doff.

One of them was the latt King Lardner. It got so bad in his declining years that he practically went berserk. He was fooling around with puns like, "Poor guy, he died of a stomach bake." Many others shared a similar fate. At east two of the columnists on a Chicago newspaper finally washed away their'grief ui liquor. Irvin 8.

Cobb, with all his collections of old Joke books, finally had to give up. Of the old-timers still functioning, only Franklin P. Adams seems to hold to the old tradition with grim determination. You can set him down as the exception that proves the rule. Most of the other old-timers, as well as practically all of the new crop, have turned to serious subjects for relief from the deadly strain of trying to be bright and original in the field of humor.

Westbrook Pegler, who used to write inspired pieces for the sport pages about a blonde named Edna who always turned up at drinking parties, is now baring his breast to the Communists. Reading space that once was held sscred for the antics of Archie the Cockroach are now dedicated to dissection of Hitler--and you can call that an improvement if you want to. The contributors who used to turn in their variations on "Who was that Lady I seen you are now helping Dorothy Thompson analyze 'the international situation. In one paper you can ftnd a half dozen profound homilies on the importance of preserving the democratic system-and not a single two-line wisecrack. It is true that alleged humor still persists on the radio.

But no matter how you twirl the dials, yeu will find that It is humoi based on screwoall tactics rather than wit Sooner or later the Mad Russian or Grade Allen or somebody with a foreign hade name and a dialect intrudes with remarks that are funny only because they are inane. What obviously has happened is this: The radio humorists have adapted their programs to serve as a counterpoise for all the serious stuff dished up the inside sections of the newspapers.
