The Cairo bulletin., 1905-04-16

From a well known gentleman OF
Caro- The Bulletin has come into pos
session of facts connected with an in
cident which presents, in a striking
manner. the great injury done this
community by the gambling houses.
If any merchant or other citizen can
read this story and then say that the
legitimate business interests of Cairo
do not suffer under the policy of the
present city administration toward
the gamblers, that merchant or citi-
zen surely has little judgment and
less conscience, If there are men in
Cairo who believe that wives and chill
dren should be protected against the
habits of husbands and fathers who
are tco weak to resist the temptations
which the gambling houses hold out,
those men will find in this story facts
which will entrench them in their
opinions and which should cause them
10 go TO the polls on Tuesday and for
ever dismiss from office the present
city administration.
The story is as follows:
Mr.. --, on reaching his office
one morning several months ago,
found a young man awaiting him there
whom he had known since his early
childhood The young fellow was in
ears. He said that late in the after
loon of the day before he had received
from the Illinois Central Railroad com
pany his months wages, amounting 10
a little more than SIS. He then went
INTO a saloon on Commercial avenue,
tween Sixth and Seventh streets, in
he rear of which was a gambling
room conducted by the proprietors of
the saloon. He took part in a game OF
,raps and lost a large portion of his
money at this place. Then he went
across the street to another gambling
house and there lost the last cent Of
his wages. He was absolutely without
resources of any kind and wanted the
gentleman upon whom he was calling
lend him SIS. There was a board
bill for himself and his wife, which
had to be paid Immediately. This
amounted to about $40. He also owed
bills to a clothing house, to dry

wherever the lower element, no Longer
held in check, congregates.
That there has always been tend
ency to this cond tion in Cairo is not
denied any more than the present ad
ministration is charged with the ex
istence of such tendency on the part
of certain classes. II is fact, how
ever, that former administrations have
regulated it and that disorder has
been reduced to the minimum. Ii is
equally true that such has not been the
case for the past two years, that the
ev'l is growing and that the people
have had enough of H. Every man
who votes for George Parsons next
Tuesday will vote for an orderly city
and for a change in conditions that will
not corrupt young children and de-
prive the family Of the sanctity of the
home.

accident which occurred at Trenton,
Tenn. yesterday morning at $3.50

rain passed through there.
Four men were killed, a number OF
lorses and mules blown to atoms, a

lumber of stores demolished and
wrecked, were the results of an acct

Wild and struck the large quantity of

dynamite let go with an awful
oar that was heard for miles and a

The dead are:

About 20 men we're knocked uncon-

CLAIMS.


goods merchant, and to a shoe dealer.
These latter bills amounted to about
s25 There was also a bin of a few
dollars due a physician.
The young man begged that the
money necessary to cover all these ac.
counts be advanced TO him. He had
no excuses to offer for his miserable
conduct and said he was ashamed to
face his family and his creditors. He
cried like a child during the recital
of his story. He could offer no secur-
ity for the loan.
The man who was requested to lend
the money necessary TO relieve this
embarrassment looked over the list
Of creditors. He noticed that all of
the accounts, except the one for board,
were owing to men who had, at the
city election in 1908, voted for our
present mayor. He told the young
nan that he would let him have
enough money to pay the board bill,
but not one cent would he advance
fer the other creditors. because they
had assisted in fastening upon the
community an administration which
seemed TO think that the gambling in
terest was about the only one that
needed any sort of protection or en-
cOuragement in Cairo. This gentle
man insisted that the young man make
statement in writing of the facts of
the case, This was done and it was
accompanied by written promise to
refrain from gambling so long as he
lived in Cairo. He then received the
money necessary to pay the board for
himself and wife.
All Of the loan has not yet been re-
paid and the gentlemen from whom
The Bulletin obtained the facts do not
know whether the merchants in ques-
tion have yet received payment of
their accounts.

His campaign was conducted on the

Among the many pleasing fictions
devised for the dlges ion of the man

still trustful. swallowed the bait again
and. In certain cases. friends OF the
mayor and the administration were
successful and it began TO look as IL
ground for the new munic pal lighting
plant would be broken at once.
The mayoralty election above re
fefred 10 was two years ago and the
aldermanic election occurred last
April and the first real step towards
municipal lighting is yet to be taken.
The Bulletin does not say that Mayor
Winter is not in favor of IT, II does not
contend that he did not intend TO have
such plant in operation long ago.
II does say and T does believe that he
was not equal to the problem and II
announces itself as honestly believing
