| The social evil question is likely to
come up for vigorous discussion in a
| short time. 1t will be remembered that
when the general exodus of the houses
of ill-repute on FirstStree south began,
a howl arose from the very bowels of
| South Minneapolis. The houses, fgur-
atlyely speaking. were removed to South
Minneapolis to the great disgust and
horror of the inhabitants OF that portion
of the city. All of sudden the clamor
ceased. No one knew exactly why, but
apparently South Minneapolis &C
cepted the new industry with
out murmuring. Now the East
side people are beginning to
grumble. Within the past few months
a number Of new palaces Of sin have
opened their doors and allowed their
colOrs to f1aunt with every breeze whose
course is down Main street. There have
always been several disreputable houses
on Main street southeast, but recently
the northeasterly portion Of the street
! has also become infested. There are
no less than nine of the resorts on the
street at the present time, and every
| bagnio proprietress who finds it to her
| advantage to move away from the dlngy
shades Of First street looks to Main
street FOR another location.
The property owners have born with
this state of affairs with Spartan stole
ism for some time. They have seen the
values of theil land fall and fall with
out much complaining. Now, however,
they have come to the conclusion that
nd a n
considered virtues. They propose to
kick and kick hard. An Indignation
meeting will be held in Germania hall,
corner of Tenth avenue northeast and
Second street, in the near future, when
a food OF righteous wrath and elOQuence
VIII be loOSed and allowed to permeate
the atmosphere. The men owning
property alongside these houses of Ill
repute find it impossible t. sell out, for
other than purposes nauSeating to the
upright and moral citizen. AT this meet
ing referred o.au endeavor will be made
to solve the great question and conceive
some method whereby the neighbOr
hood can be rid of the unWelcome in
habitant5, or rather lnterlODerS. Among
the speakers will be prominent East
Side clergyman, under whose notice
several cases of ruined women have

houses.
On Main street southeast several of
these houses back against the French
Catholic church. Others range along
side the Century Piano cOmpany's fac
tory. In this factory are employed
number of young women. The perni-
clOus effect of the proximity of notorious
houses can therefore readily be seen.
1t was stated yesterday to a reporter for
the GLOBE that unless the matter
could be arranged in a peaceable
manner the courts would be sought.
In this event no end of money
will be forthcoming to fight the
cases to the bitter end. 1t will not be
the property owners on Main street
alone who Will take hand in the fight,
but business men on Central avenue
will lend their aid. The flash of the
lights from these dens of vice can be
plainly seen from the street cars. and
every pedestrian whose business Or
pleasure calls him on Central avenue
and across Main street has his attention
called to the flaming, shameful signs.
The date for the meeting to be held in
Germania hall has not been set, but it is
expected arrangements will be made in
a day or so and an appeal issued to
East side people to come prepared for
war.
