DIR. Mccormack s Lecture.

A large and appreciative audience as
sembled in Alumni Hall, at Western Mary
land College on Monday evening last to
hear the lecture Of DR.. Mccormack, OF
Kentucky, who is the representative OF the
American Medical Association, and travel
ling through the country, primarily for the
purpose of organizing and encouraging the
County Medical Associations. He was
here on Monday to meet the Carroll Coun-
ty Medical Association, and his presence
was availed Of by the College for one OF
the LECTURES in the college course.
DIR. Mccormack is a lecturer Of excep-
tional ability, and his lecture at Alumni
Hall was conceded by all who heard 1t to
have been one Of the most interesting ana
edifying that has ever been delivered here
He sought, in his lecture, to bring into
closer relationship and better understand
ing the medical profession and the com
munity at large, and especially to urge the
citizens of the community to unite with
the Doctors in their attempt to prevent
the diseases which the profession knows to
be preventable.
This is a wide and important field, and
every intelligent citizen ought to unite
with the medical profession in the effort
to stamp out the diseases which 50 sorely
afiict humanity and add so much to the
death rate, and which, with proper care,
can be prevented. As examples OF this
class of diseases, which can and ought to
be prevented, are consumption and typhoid
fever.
1t is fact which every Doctor has
noted, and every Layman too, for that mat
ter, that the average man and woman Will
use all means that the Doctor suggests,
when they are sick, carry out his dlrec-
tions to the letter, and yet will do nothing
he recommends for the prevention Of dis
ease.
1t is said IAN ounce of preventive Is
better than a pound of cure but if the
observation of every Physician that most
people would rather take pound of cure,
than avail themselves of an ounce Of pre-
yentive. We all know how difficult it is
to get a man who is we'll to understand
the necessity for observing hygienic rules
and thus keep himself from getting sick,
The old lines are quite true,
"When the devil was sick,
The devil saint would be,
When the devil was well,
The devil saint was he.

by not attending this meeting.

Public Office a Public Trust.

1t was Ex-President Cleveland, We be-
lieve, who coined the expressive and oft
quoted phrase, that "a public Office is a
public trust If properly looked at moth
ing can be truer than this. And yet We
fear many people 60 into public Office with
no higher idea Of it than that it is matter
Of personal honor or private emolument.
There are few positions in which men find
the holding Of public Office matter OF
money making. And 50 far as the honor
of public position is concerned, that de-
ponds entirely upon how the individual
conducts himself in the discharge Of the
duties Of his Office.
Some men by the way in which they
demean themselves dignity any Office to
which they may be elected or appointed.
They appreciate the fact that they are
public servants, and seek in every way to
serve the public Others are selfish and
when in Office assume an air Of superiority,
and in that way not only make themselves
disagreeable, but fail to be useful, and are
generally relocated to the rear as soon as
the people have an opportunity to get at
them.
At this time, when so many men Will
20 into public Office as result OF the last
election: some who have never held office
before. and others who have before had
official position, it becomes all who are thus
situated to take note Of the fact that then
fellow citizens in calling them into Office
have confded to them sacred trust, and
will hold them responsible for a proper
discharge of their duties. These duties
require that the official shall fully qualify
himself for the work he has undertaken t.
nerform. that he shall be attentive and
nolite to all who have official business with
him. and that he shall also let the hum
blest man in the community feel that he
will be accorded the same attention and
the same consideration, as will be accorded
to his more prominent neighbor. The mai
in official position, who thus, and in every
other proper way, endeavors to serve the
public. is the man who will command hi:
own self-respect and that Of the communl'
ty. and is the man who will likely be con
tinued in the public service.

FAMOUS TRIAL
OF PROF. HAU
Sensational Murder Case
Which Promises Great
Disclosures

KARLSRUHE, Germany, July IT,
Karl Hau, the young professor for
merly attached to George Washing
ton university, Washington, D. c.,
was placed on trial here today for the
alleged murder of his mother in law,
Frau Molitor. The former high stand
ing of the accused, the mystery sur
rounding the alleged crime and the
recent suicide of Prof. Hau's young
wife have combined to attract wide
spread attention to the case, and the
trial will doubtless attract great at
tention throughout Europe and in
America. Notwithstanding the fact
that he has been formally examined
and pronounced sane by experts. 1t is
probable that mental responsibility
will play a part in the defense of
Prof. Hau. He is represented by emf
nent counsel, and it is evident that
hard fight will be made to save him
from conviction.
Frau MoIitor was the widow of the
medical councillor, DR.. Molitor Of Ba-
dem Baden. On the evening of Mo-
vember 6, last, she was called to the
telephone in her room at Baden Baden
and received a request to go to the
postoffice and get parcel that was
there for her. She started at once.
When passing through quiet street
shot was fred from behind her and
Frau Molitor fell detd. The man who
fred the shot was seen but he escaped.
1t is stated that Frau Molitor had been
long threatened. and that cunning
plots were laid against her. The mo-
tive Of the alleged crime appears to
have been greed for money. Frau
Molitor. who was wealthy. 1t Is said.
