FRIDAY, JANUARY SI, 1915. POLICE PROTECTION. Two robberies, both In the center of the business district of Wilmette, were reported to the police last week. It is reasonable to suppose that both occurred between the hours of mid- night and 7 o'clock u. m, and in both coses the,robbers escaped without de- tection. For thin, tbe Wilmette police â- re being freely criticised and charges of Inefficiency are heard on every hand. It is not our purpose to pass on the welfare of the nation. For wis, it might be wished that • Utile of the time given over to spiritual admonition could be taken up with the state- ment of taw gains, the ambitions and tile usefulness of the forces fighting tlte employment of children at gainful occupations. * * * OUR OVS88.

Deprived Ing conditions as they exist In our police department ___ Wilmette, with a population of be- tween seven and oight thousand, boasts a police force of three men, whose time is divided as follows: Policeman No. 1 reports for duty at 7 o'clock in tho morning and works until 7 o'clock in the evening. The second man reports at noon and works until midnight, and tho third man works from 7 o'clock in the evening until 7 o'clock in the morning. You will notice that between tho hours of midnight and 7 o'clock In the morning there is but one man on duty and ho, lu addition to his regular police duties, is Janitor in the village hall and is required to clean the offices in that building every night.
