Vor of these prosecutions, and many
OF these men who are violating laws
know that they are being tracked. s;cd
some of these bright days they will
be brought up. and they know il. The
trouble is that we have been talking
too much and working too little. We
should go out and work, and we will
from now on go out and fight. The
battle will not be very difficult one.
We should go ahead, and with our
combined forces we can gain a vic
tory. We don't want to go into poll
tics, but we will see what can be done
towards having the right men nomi-
mated and elected to Office. If men are
put up who will give us good govern
ment and see that laws are enforced,
we will give them our hearty support.
We have entered the arena for a pro-
tracted siege, for the betterment of
things, for the overthrow of these
places of vice that are demoralizing
hundreds of young people in our city.
We must do something to make vice
little harder and virtue a little cas-
ier."
Mr.. Mckinley in his address, said:
"One of the oldest and most success
full tricks of the devil is TO call a good
thing by bad name and bad thing
by good name. / like to call things
by their right names, and the great
ICAOiHl lHSy say IS 10 call Things Dy
their right names. There are many
deceptions in the use Of words One
thing that l admire the Saxon tongue
for is because it calls terrible things
by terrible names.
'Some of our laws are fairly we'll
enforced. The laws protecting life and
property are fairly we'll enforced The
laws protecting morality should be re-
garded as the most sacred of all. Prop
worth 20 ic,Y,Sf
worth living where moral laws are
trampled upon. There is q fearful lack
OF reverence in this country today for
Things that are sacred. Blasphemers
are heard in the streets, in the hotels,
in cars, and everywhere. The quill
drivers of the press ever and anon try
to show their wit at some sacred thing
in the Holy Book. Preachers some
times make ordinary illusions of things
that are sacred. Straw shows the way
the wind blows, and this irreverence
for the word of God shows the ex-
istence of lawlessness. This has been
great week for preaching laws.
There is no antagonism between law
and gospel. Men need to realize in
this country that this shameful viola
ton of law, these Sunday laws and
liquor laws are sins against God,
rebellion against the people that
make them, and treason against
the state. I have the wrath of God
In me concerning the law license of
this country, and it keeps me awake
nights to think of the boys and girls
who are led to dissolute ways and ruin
by the lawlessness of the city. If the
city should leave a large hole open in
the street, without any red light or
any fence around it, and a boy would
fall in and hurt himself, his parents
would sue the city for heavy damages.
If the city had open a violation Of the
city and state law, and no red light to
inform the boy, and with no fence to
Keep MIN out of the place, he has no
redress.
"A strange mistake is made that men
who are elected to office are being
looked upon as masters. They are not
our masters. They are our servants,
and, as our servants, if they don't do
what they are there for, and enforce
the law, we will turn them out. I say,
we VIII turn the rascals OUT
