ROGERS PARK WANTS THE EARTH.

For many years the people of Chicago
have had dinned into their ears the de-
inands and the ''doings" of the people
of Rogers Park.
The City Council has had most Of its
time occupied with Rogers Park and its
affairs, the Rogers Park sewer, the Rog-
crs Park water supply, the Rogers Park
transportation question. the Rogers
Park this and the Rogers Park that,
have come laundering down the pike
until one would imagine that Rogers
Park was the Western metropolis and
the balance Of Chicago a mere annex
of It. hut the latest phase Of the
ubiquitous and all-pervading Rogers
Park question simply "takes the cake"
for audacity and unreasonableness
The Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad, which has the misfortune to
run through Rogers Park on its way to
the far Northwest, was generous
enough, some time ago. to give from
Its own right Of way strip Of terri.

feet wide as connecting link ut dis.

and making that splendid driveway
complete, while Obviating crossing
over the railroad tracks ut the junction
with the Evanston avenue branch OF
the road.
Now the Rogers Park people have
once more arisen In their might and
frothy fury, and have demanded that
the Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Pau
Railroad shall be assessed $500 fol
improving the very driveway which
that corporation so generously donated
to the public. OF course the company
has resented this, and will, II necessary
fight the matter out In the courts; moi
so much on account Of the amount OF
money involved as the sublime impu

TIVE "WATER.BOTTLE" ADMINS
7RATiON.

ChicagO's citizens will remember the
present city administration as being
the most utterly useless mot to say
mischievous) that was ever inflicted
upon Its people.
Not only has 1t failed to solve any
Of the great problems confronting 1t,
but 1t has actually failed to discharge
even the most elementary duties Of a
municipal administration. 1t has
neither paved, cleaned, nor lit the
streets; 1t has failed to properly pO-
lice the city; 1t has allowed the Fire
Department to sag sadly In spots; 1t
has failed, and worse, positively re-
fused to interfere with poker playing;
It has allowed the Board Of Education
to run to seed, and now, worse than
all, 1t has declared itself unable to
supply school children In our public
schools with water supply.
Even the Chicago Daily News. whose
friendliness toward Mayor Harrison Ia
well known, has recently been forced
to take cognizance OF the situation. In
late edition our esteemed cOntem-
pOrary had this to say.
"The situation which has developed
In the public schools where the supply
of drinking water has been cut OF, In
strikingly suggestive Of curious i'm
pOtence on the part of the local agen-
cies of government. Because of de-
lays and pOstpOnements In the work
Of completing the intercepting sewer
system the drinking water supply Of
Chicago has become a source of dan
ger. Because of the inability of the
Board of Education to provide ade.
quate means for sterilizing or boiling
the water In the public schools the sup.
ply there must be cut Off and the chill
dren obliged either to drink no water
during school hours or to bring water
to school with them In bottles.
THE first days experiment under
the water-bottle system seems to have
been about as satisfactory as might
have been expected. A few of the
children brought bottles, but whether
the contents had been boiled or not Is
matter of question. Other children
repaired to the nearest grocery or can
dy-shop and drank their I'LL of the I'M
boiled lake product regardless of its
dangers, AS bottle of water after
1t has become warm and insipid IL not
likely to be very inviting, the pros
poets are excellent that a large number
OF the children when they feel thirsty
will get their water wherever they can
get 1t.
I'm the circumstances the only re-
course for cautious parents, apparent,

engaged In such desperate EFFORT TO
defeat his honest claims.
Most people who discuss the matter
say 1t looks like an attempt to perse-
cute for personal reasons and to beat
the gentleman ont of his legitimate ex-
penscs and demands.
Whatever may be the motives of the
opposition to Mr.. Duffy, the public is
sick and tired of the long.continued
warfare that is being made upon one
of the most conscientious and honor
able contractors who ever undertook
work for the city, entailing as 1t does
nothing but large and additional costs
to the taxpayers.
Meantime all who admire pluck. en-
ergy and honesty join in congratulating
Mr.. Duffy upon his latest victory.

THAT SPRiH0 WATER FAKE.

Recent proceedings and findings IN
one Of the courts Of Cook County
show that 90 per cent Of the water
companies furnishing water to private
consumers in Chicago have been sup.
plying lake winter simply.
The court proceeding referred to Is
one which has attracted much attcn-
ton and which Is very much to the
point, because the result Of 1t was the
Issuance Of an injunction by the court
restraining well.known and much
advertised water company from sup.
plying Lake Michigan water under an.
other name.
The Eagle refers to this matter be-
cause just now there Is Il double In
Jury being perpetrated upon the pub
lie by this species of chicanery. Not
only are the people supplied with ana
charged exorbitant prices for spuri.
Gus article, but they are also led into
the serious mistake of drinking the
polluted, germ.laden lake water with
all Its typhoid poison In full force and
effect, under the mistaken idea that
they are drinking pure spring or min
eral water.
People purchase the alleged spring
water In order to escape the dangers
involved In drinking lake water In its
present condition. II they were un.
able to obtain any other than lake wa
ter they would boil the latter, but
when they are fooled by being sup
piled with lake water under the pre-
tense that It Is from some Of the well.
known springs Of the country, then the
consumers neglect the usual precau-
ton, and double injury Is perpe-
trated. Not only Is the public being
robbed, but 1t Is also being poisoned
by this outrageous fake.
Meantime people are inquiring what
Is the Health Department doing with
these alleged spring-water concerns?
Many ask, why Is 1t we have no analy-
sis of the so-called spring water In the
weekly or daily bulletins? One would
imagine that department which in
Weighs 20 loudly day after day against
the lake water would at least take or
binary precautions in regard to the
substitutes. But perhaps there are
reasons why the Health Department
does not care to interfere with the
spring-water concerns.
One thing Is certain, the hostility of
that branch Of the municipal service
toward the waters Of Lake Michigan
has for years had the effect of largely
increasing the public demand for the
waters Of the springs. The general
observation among the people just now
Is that it Is too bad we haven't a
Health Department that can rise above
private considerations In matters In
volving the public health.

LORiMER AND MS CRITiCS.

A daily contemporary has the follow
ing observation to make anent the now
famous methods instituted by Hon.
william Lorimer in the pending cam
paign:
civilian Lorimer told the Republic
ans of Oak Park at his forty-ninth lawn
fete Monday night how to smash Objec-
tionable political machines. II they
would put an end to machine domina-
ton in their party, he said, they must
come into the Republican organization,
where they will have n chance to carry
out their purposes. He continued:
"'You can't throw anybody out Of
your house while you are outside Of the
house yourself. The only way you can
get the Objectionable person out Of the
house without coming inside yourself
Is to burn the house, which Is waste
ful and useless method. 1t Is just as
foolish to try to get these Objectionable
machine men out Of your party organi.
xation by staying outside yourself and
trying to destroy your party. Come In.

given the Republican citizens this

not explain how they can make sure
that It IL the machine and not them.

inside. With the machine leaders con.
trolling the organization, holding star
chamber caucuses, registering the
names Of the dead or departed on the
ward club lists, dominating party pr.
maries and welding the gavel Mt all
the organization meetings, the voters
who have gone inside and undertaken
smashing operations In the past usually
have found themselves powerless."
This II the veriest rot, and our con-
temporary knows It. too.
IL 1t not the very purpose Of giving
all good citizens who desire to take a
hand in politics full and fair oppor.

take part In "the star.chamber eau.

our LOCAL SMAM BATTLE OVE-
RACE.

Chicago, 1t seems, having a shore
front Of its own on the blue waters ID
Lake Michigan, Is not to be any more
than the Atlantic coast line.
The only difference appears to be
that while the "doings" down ON the
Atlantic coast amount to piece OF
nonsense, and possibly In some cases
a nuisance, the sample We have just
had here in Chicago Ii a positive out

The socalled attack" on the lake
