A FALSE MOVE
Attempt to Move the Red Light Dis
trict In this City

ACtempt 10 move the REQ Light US
triet In this City
After days of talk and agitation a
movement was started yesterday 20
move the red light district from it's
present quarters to parts unknown.
The affair came to climax yesterday
when Rev. McCreery swore out 4 CON-
plant charging the offenders with COZ
Quoting illegal houses too close to the
schools of this city.
In the afternoon the owners of the !
houses were placed under arrest and |
taken before the justice of the peace /
1t was expected that fight would /
be started on prospective lines, but ~
the surprise of many the owners plea
guilty and were fined in the sum Oh
$500. The fines were paid and tn:
next move is easy to anticipate.
Carson took on a virtuous turn some
years ago and the places were raided
The ladies' in charge simply too,
down the red blinds, placed black ones
in their stead and placed signs 'oI
! rooms to let and dressmaFing parlors.
| The business went on as usual and he
affair passed into ancient history. TAe
same move will probably follow this
season in fact the houses were dec
grated in this manner last evening
The red light district of this cilv
is one of the most peaceful localities
t. in the town. The officers Of the peace
have maintained order for years ami
less noise and crime has come from
this quarter than any other part 81
the city. Sheriff Kinney has made :
name throughout the State that mas
cleaned the resorts of hangers-On an
men of low personality. There has
district and people know the localr,
Of the district.
Should the intent of the new order
prevail the women will scatter
throughout the town and complain,
from more than one district will b.
the result. 1t is far better to leav,
the one section alone and preserve th
peace that has settled IN the quarters
, Every town in the State contains III
; necessary evil-the red light district =
, and Carson will have TO have her.
Men are human and will continue 3
as long as they are borne of wome
angels are not a part OF our popul
5 ton.
: The district that is occupied by tn
: red light at present has been useE TO
; this purpose for nearly forty year
: and if the people OF Carson wish t
1 | scatter an evil throughout the cit,
: the best way to do 1t is to scatter tn
I women who are unfortunate enough =
e live in their present quarters.
= While the blue ribbon enthusia st
p are routing out the skeletons in Cal
Y sons midst there is a vast field
II work on AS the law and OrdinanC
Q states, it is equally unlawful to COZ
/ duct saloons and breweries within tn
prescribed distance that the cases {
s yesterday were decided upon. IN
> being the case the saloon men al
= subject to the same fine and condition
There is a brewery within a hand-ba
- throw of the elegant new school hous
and one of great revenue to the II
zens and community, but under Il
all-powerfu law it should be dragg
before the justice and PUNK up
fine and move to Empire or son
! other foreign port where it will
welcomed.
There is room enough in Cars
City for all the inhabitants and ev
the unfortunates of the lower wor
must have quarters and far bet
where they are established than sc
