There is no issue which can affect! if8 a strange thing that Chief Mo the people who engage in any cam- weent has lived so long and served palgn more than one that has to do | tDe city of Chicago as chief of police with the public health and matters that contribute to it. Without the sanitary conditions that make for health and the scientific supervision of those conditions and of all the fac- tors which have to do with disease, there can be nothing as it should be in a community. Recognising this fact the members of the Physicians' club of Wilmette, through their secretary, Dr. John Segsworth, has made It their busi- ness in behalf of the people whom they serve to And out from the present â-¼Wage president, who ia also a candi- date for re-election on the Community ticket, where he stands as regards his relation to the Board of Health. As one would expect from a man of his experience in the public service of his village and of his general quali- fications t«^ fill his position at the head of village affairs in the satisfactory way he has done, Mr. Couffer, in his reply to the letter of inquiry from the medical men, defines his attitude definitely as one of co-operation with the health board in all matters which come under its jurisdiction. Esteeming the disposal of the sew- age of the village to be rightly asso- ciated with the matter of the public health, the members of the Physicians' without discovering that it is Just the things be doesn't do that the people quarrel with. There, as ' else- where, it is the sins of omission rather than the sins of commission that cause the people to wonder at times what the gentlemen in blue find to serve as "busy work", during the duty hours. There may have been a tiny bit of rebuke tucked away In Major Funk- houbeb's reply, *'I will give my atten- tion to my duties and not to those of any other persons." Whether it was so Intended, or not, the purpose which he thus expresses, insures for the major a busy future. * * * A CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE. An another page of this issue of The Lake Shore Newh there appears printed in full the lecture delivered in the Evanston theater last Sunday afternoon by Mr. William D. Mc- Crackan, M. A., C. S. B., member of the board of lectureship of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston. The theater was filled to its capacity with interested listeners, as is always true in the case of such lectures. Be- lieving that there are very many among the readers of this paper who Club have also sounded Mr. Couffer j »ere â„¢able to take advantage of the Oh that proposition. That his idea | opportunity to hear the subject dis i la regard to the construction of the connecting canal with the drainage canal ia the Banest and safest for the village is evident from his answer to the last query of the examining doc- tors. We commend Mr. Couffer's letter to the attention of our readers, espe- cially to those of them who will vote in the Wilmette election. Mr. Couffer ha* therein set forth his position as regards this matter of such great moment in such plain terms that no one can misinterpret or misconstrue his utterances, even though he should try. â- * -8 * AT WHOSE DOORt "Married at 15; divorced at 17; re- married at 18; suicide at 19." Thus in a head line to a news story one of the Chicago dallies tells the tale of the tragedy of one girl's life. All the links of suffering, degradation and despair which bind the four chapters of the short history together are eas- ily supplied by the Imagination. Who ia to blame for the conditions which contributed to the fate of this onhappy girl? 8he certainly was not responsible. What can a girl of fif- teen know of the seriousness^! the step of marriage? Even a carewlly nurtured child has not sufficient men- tal development to be able to order her life at the age of fifteen. No one expects her to do so. How, then, shall m child, reared by irresponsible par- ents* succeed without guardianship in â€"csnlny the pitfalls which beset her? |f The case of the girl whose story is go laconically told is only one of â- sway such. Their only help lies in jam wtdch wfll protect them from themselves and make impossible the haeey marriage in childhood.

Verily, "truth is Btranger than fic- tion." The accession of the new king of Greece to the throne made vacant by the assassination of the late King Geoboe falls in most strangely with an old tradition of bis people. It has long been the belief of the people of the Attic peninsula that when a royal ConsTAimHs should take to wife a royal Sophia then there should be reestablished the empire of the great Corstaktihb of sixteen cen- turies ago. The present queen of Greece bears the name Sophia, and is a sister of the present Emperor of Germany. Furthermore, the fall of Adrianople, the success of the Greek armies, and the dissolution of Euro- pean Turkey, all point to the possibil- ity of the establishment of an empire under this other Constartihs. It is also a significant fact that the day of the accession of King Cohstah- tiwb was that on which the edict of re- ligious toleration was published by his great namesake. ,,"<• â-  The tale, which is fact, is worthy the imagination of a Osoaes BaS MoCuiunojr.
