Money, some poyerty-strfcken old sage has
remarked, is the root of all evil, and some folks
arc foolish enough to take the saying for an
aphorism. But IL money Is SO productive OF
evil, whisky Is the root, branch, leaf, and all OF
sin, and to its influence more crimes can be laid
than to any other superAulty the human race is
aware Of. Thus it is that ninc-tenths OF the |
crime committed in the country occurs in gin
mills or in precincts Immediately adjoining |
them. In Chicago and the country round
about every well-traycled roadway Is
cursed with institutions OF this
character, which, passing under the name OF
restaurants and refreshment saloons, are but
hell-holcs of the very worst description. And
no roadway is afflicted in greater dcgrcc than
the Stony Island road, the handsomcst boule-
ward in the Northwest, leading from the city to
South Chicago, distance OF II miles. For
space Of three miles after leaving Hyde Park,
the west side Of the road is one continuous gin
mill They all meet with paying patronage
because Of the popularity OF the road'
and from hundreds Of persons going hsh-
Ing at South Chicago, or hunting and fishing
at the Calumet, they derive goodly income.
Being somewhat removed from the inspection
OF the police, they also form the refuge ana
hidiug-place of sulprits, and thieves, and re1u-
pees from the city. Away back in the sixties,
Corbctt and Fleming, who were hung Tor mur-
der in this city, escaped there from the scene OF
their foul crimes, and, ever since, cut-throats
and robbers have chosen it for place o1 salcty
during times Of persecution and IN Tunes Oh
