REBUKE FOR LAKTTY

The Chicago horror is a rpbuke
to TIE world for the laxity with
which the laws are enforced. 1t is
shame that the lives of numerous
innocents had to be sacrificed to
awaken the authorities in Chicago.
The fact that a large number of
theaters were not allowed to be
opened the night following the dis
aster shows that great laxity in
the enforcement OF the theater reg
ulations has been prevalent.
The American public will put up
with any kind OF enforcement of
the law SO long as nothing bad
comes of it. BY chad" we mean
something so bad that it can not
help but be noticed. 1t has become
the custom among officeholders to
get all the pie cut OF their jobs and
let the public slide along without
any interference. If an officer
could get the extra good will of
some fellow who could help him in
the next race for office, he has
leaned toward the schemes of the
fellow who could help him. This
is what we call one kind of graft
ing. Any time any officer uses
his official position to gain some
thing for himself, which he deems
OF value, and which is not in the
strictest compliance with the laws,
it is grating. Some use it to gain
money, some use it to gain friends
and some use it to get rid of enc
mics. The various varieties OF
grating must all be stopped.
The dying groans Of nearly 600
in the Iroquois Theater demand
that it be stopped, the weeping
voices of thousands of relatives
and the tears Of sympathetic mil
lions demand that it be stopped.
Will the generation heed their
cries? ? Will the selfish greed for
gain be turned to loyalty for the
law? We fear not. When the
weeping voice of the bereaved
mother is stilled after the terror OF
this awful tragedy, when the sod
on the new made graves settles,
and the ink on the coroner's rec
ords is dry, and when the walls OF
the blackened theater are repaihted
then our revelry will start anew
Our old disregard of the law will
take its accustomed place in oul
hearts We will go on with the
rush and hurry of our lives anC
not look either to the right or tt
the left of us to see how oul
brother fares or how the officers o
the law are doing their duty.
There should be a law for thu
prevention of cruelty to our fellow
men. Perhaps we should say fol
the prevention of race suicide by
the fell results of our disregard fo
the rights of the people and tn
laws which they are paying t.
have enforced. This catastrophe
ought to cause the people of othe
sections to look around them AM
see if they are not living unde
conditions almost if not quite a
bad as they are in Chicago-th
only difference, perhaps, being il
the magnitude of the offenses. !
is peculiar how much the human
race will stand before it crys GU
for justice. Perhaps the reason th
cry for justice in small matters
not made sooner is because to
many people are not prepared t
throw the first stone. The walls {
their own palaces are constructe
of glass.
