Strauss a Different Type
Edward j. Strauss, the saloonist-
supervisor who confessed, gave the
view of an entirely different CRATER
on the same corrupt conditions. Here
is what Strauss said in confessing:
80 you want to get at the bottom
of grating? You don't want to talk
to me. You want to see old Father
Adam. Ny story won't give you a
peek at the bottom. | think half
of these poor devils were pushed into
politics and from politics into graft
ing. I know l was, and I'm not much
different from the others. Who does
the pushing? Well, now you're work
ing toward the bottom. Business men
are responsible for all the corruption
there is. They teach the CRATER his
business. Grating in business is en-
terprise. At least that is the way
most business men look at it. Busi
ness is honeycombed with just the
sort of dishonesty for which we poor
devils are being 'pinched' In private
business it's enterprise. In public it's
boodling. But down at the bottom it's
all alike.
II knew there was grating in bust
ness long time before / was elected
supervisor. I knew it because il had
taken part in it. 1t was alright in
business. 1t looked good to me when
/ was member of the county board.

honest long before l was elected, but

i had heard that many times in pri
vate business. ! had done business
on that basis a great many times
with great many different so-callet
respectable business men. So when
a proposition of the same character
and from the same source came tc
me as an official, l didn't run away
1t sounded familiar, and it looked good
to me.
6ribe-Giver is Worst
"You don't suppose that little gang
of cheap supervisors are Debating to
business men, do you? Let me tell
you that the bribe-giver is the man
to blame for all this boodling. II a
big manufacturing conc ern wants a
street vacated, what do. the repre-
sentatives Of that company do? They
take the proposition to their alder
man or supervisor. Maybe the other
people in the neighborhood of the
manufacturing plant don't want the
street vacated. Maybe the alderman
or the supervisor knows that his con-
stituents will raise howLif the street
is closed II he tells the business
men that he can't vote for it the
business man says: oh, go on and
vote for it. You can put that through
all right. There's something in it
for you. Here's $500 to split up
among the boys. II he has made up
his mind that he must have it, he'll
make it $1,000.
"How's an official to be honest
when he gets that sort of thing on
every hand? Honesty? / tell you
there isn't such a thing. Some may
be little more honest than others,
but we're all dishonest to a certain
extent.
I'm my time I put through dozens
and dozens of deals, and never fell
down on one of them.
Every Man Has Price
I'm cheap. / did business on
small scale. But l know enough
about boodling to tell you that the
zig fellows do it on the same basis.
every man has his price. II you've
got the money, you can reach any of
hem. You can make money look
good to the best of them. You'll
never stop grating until you make
t SO impractical that bribery simply
won't work. You can prosecute and
prosecute, but you can't do anything
more than scratch the surface

Il tell you that there is only one
way to stop It, and that is to go after

In the interest of Public Health,
attention is hereby drawn to the

membered that all rules and regn-
%lations pertaining to the restricting
and combating of contagious or in
fictitious diseases aud hygienic con-
ditions are for the benefit of the
public generally and never intend
ed as a menace or detriment to the
parties affected thereby. It is
certainly unfortunate for any to be-.
come sick, but when they are, it is
not right for them to expose any
one else to the same trouble if it
can be prevented.
That certain diseases are infec-
tious and communicable is true be-
yond doubt and is not disputed by
any intelligent person to day.
End. It must be understood that
certain contagious diseases may
appear in a light form in one in
dividual while another person may
take it from them and have the
:, same disease in a very severe form (;
therefore it is necessary to use the
precautions here as if the attack
we're severe.
