A Citizen Demands Radical Reform

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
In reading The Star of the 25th ultimo I
saw an article in regard to removing the
call boxes from the Division" / feel 1t
my duty to swell the number in condemn
heart of our beautiful city, and, as The
Evening Star seems to be in the line to
reach every good citizen, and is always
willing to help in all good work. i ask you
to spare me little space. If such houses
of ill-fame must exist, as some people
argue, I think they ought not be allowed
In a place where they cause so many peo-
pie SO much disadvantage. The people who
work in the bureau of engraving and print
ing and the Agricultural Department have
to go around them to get to and from their
work.
beautiful. and a great many people would
ike to enjoy the comforts they offer, but
are deprived of them by that part of the
city called the division" They will not
be seen going through or coming out of
such region. There is material for gossip
as to any one seen in that section. I
heartily indorse the articles heretofore pub
lshed in The Star, and hope the good peo-
pie of our fair city will not rest until they
have succeeded in closing every door or
every one of the disreputable houses re-
ferred to.
If the police and other authorities have
the power to remove the call boxes, why
can't they remove the occupants of those
houses? Trey have the authority to keep
them from other parts of the city, why
can't they keep them out of the DIVISION?
Let every good citizen lend helping hand
in the fight for removal-a fight that must
come! A CITIZEN.

such methods become real cavalrymen.
