Why Not Tackle the Saints?

To the Daily LIGHT:
Before the county officers deter
mine upon another raid on the
poor, unfortunate women whose
"feet tread the ashes Of HE'LL" they
should apply the corrective effect
OF a heavy fine upon the owners Of
the property occupied by the
fallen women. 1t is a notorious
fact that many Of the houses occu-
pied for purposes Of prostitution
are owned and rented by men
prominent in church, social and
business circles, yet no one ever
hears Of one Of them being arrested
and compelled to pay fine and
the costs. And yet the law makes
no distinction between the owner
Of the property and the poor devil
who by force OF want is compelled
to sell her soul and body for the
means OF subsistence. Why should
the officers discriminate? The Off
GERS of the law would perform a
meritorious act Of duty, which
would be universally spplsuded, if
for only once they would ignore
the sinners ond concentrate their
efforts against the "saints" and
money changers.
ONLY A SINNER.

and half a dozen most delightful
lervices were held, filling the day
completely. The first service was
held at $50 in the morning, and
the last was a mass meeting. All
were we'll attended.

society is to be held here tomorrow
in the Baptist schurch. Officers
will be elected and other business
transacted.
There is a persistent effort being
made here to secure the location OF
the Presbyterian university for
Texas. 1t will be splendid thing
for Luling, and all that is neces-
sary, is to show that she can offer
as good inducements as Taylor or
any other place.
Superintendent Clark, Of the San
Antonio district OF Christian En-
deavor, is to be here on Sunday, the
22d. He will lecture on that night.
Topic: Church or Saloon"
Luling does not take kindly to
fakirs and the jewelTy fellow who
carried away with him on Tuesday
night the odor Of stale biddie fruit
found it out in a striking manner.
That norther on Tuesday night
compelled a postponement Of the
lyceum exercise, and the an
nouncement is now made for next
tuesday, in the hope that the
weather will be more favorable.
