mushy and equiyocal language. HIS
friends turn from his palpable Sinking
of duty in painful disgust. The MOB
looks up to him as coddling protector.
The law, outraged and insulted,
stands suspended while he
truckles for political popularity. Mean
while the city is rent and torn by vio-
lence and nearly every man quakes
with apprehension lest the next hour
shall witness not only pillage and
frenzy, but bloodshed.
Mayor Uhl could cut down o tele-
graph pole; lie could prosecute alright
ed gamblers; he could defend an attack
on his legal acumen over the dock-line
bill; he could escape the clsmor of the
laborugmen for speech-but Mayor
Uhl does not stop the insulting OF wo-
men, riding in lawfully moving street
cars, the destroying of property and
the violent outbreaks of q lawless mob
in city which he is sworn to protect.
