Day by day the hypOcrlticaI preten-
siOns of the EuStiS administration be-
come manifest. The good people who
go to bed at o'clock every evening eX-
cept Thursday-prayer meeting night
and who voted Tor William Henry
EuStis for mayor because they had
been told by Republican news
papers that the Democratic admins
tratiOn of 81 and '92 was pervaded
by a shocking looSeness of morals,
no doubt believe that the present ad-
minsIratiOn is the epitome of God
fearing righteousness and strict law
observance. Ignorance may excuse
them, although ignorance does not OBJ
tain as a reason for pardon either in low
courts or orthodox religion. When the
present mayor was making his tln-pall-
ladies' hose campaign last fall the
GLOBE pointed out how his corps of
subordinate workers were playing both
WAYS from the ace" as they say in eX-
elusive club circles. The good
people who enlisted in the
cause of the Law Enforcement
league and those who backed that
Pinkertonan organization on the quiet
were hauled into the EuStiS camp by
the assurance that EuStiS would close
all gambling houses, would compel
saloons to observe all the laws and
ordinances ever devised and would
manage the city on a strictly Bible
class basis. On the other hand, the
diamond-bedecked disciples OF the rou-
lette wheel and the green cloth and nick
el-plated box were tipped the wink,
nudged in the ribs and enlisted by the
single statement, "William Henry will
be all right" William Henry has been
"all right for a portion OF the law
breakers. The White-aprOned and white
jacketed gentry who manipulate cash
registers and cocktail shakers have
found William Henry 'all right" lie
has been 'all right" beyond their
fOndeSt expectations. And with all his
ail-rightntss not a single CRUSADER"
has Shown his head. The men who
pull the strings which control the move
ments of the crusader marionetteS never
read any but the newspapers OF their
own and William Henry's political
faith, so they probably think William
Henry is ''all right for their side. too.
The satisfaction of the Tiger" train
ers is not so complete. They were given
to understand unequivocally before
election that their interests would be
looked after by the g. o. D. AS the head
of the Syndicate" remarked after cleo
ton while the question of who would be
gambling boss was under discussion,
1--WE contributed as much as anybody to
the campaign fund, and we expect to
do business" They are not doing
business" They expect to, though.
"We'll open up again as soon as these
reviYals are over and Mills gets out OF
town." said one OF them the other day.
That is the exact status of the case.
In the first place, the gambling houses
were ordered closed as a ''hOodWink."
Then the Mills meetings came
along. The city was seized
with a spasm of religious fer
vOr, which still retains its grip.
1t would never do to allow ubiquitous
gambling houses to open their doors in
opposition to revival meetings. But
wait until the revivals are over and
Mills has gone. The word has been
passed to the gamblers that they will be
allowed to open as soon as the revival
season comes to an end. The city VIII
then drop back to its normal condition.
The administration organs will be dumb.
The good people will 90 to bed early,
wrapped in ignorance. The little ball
will sing its siren song and the
tiger will yawn, lick his chops, stretch
his attenuated and famished frame and
feed TO his hearts content. All classes
of the administration suppOrters-the
Puritan and BabylOnian-will be salts
fed. Under the influence of that potent
opiate, political eXpedlency, the cru
Sader will sink into a dreamlesS sleep.
