FIVE YEARS AGO THEY FORE
SAW RUIN FOR SPOKANE If
ANY ATTEMPT WAS MADE
TO SUPPRESS VICE.

The suppression of vice in Spo
kane has practically been accom-
plished after years of effort on the
part of the better element of citi
zens. The city IS better, there is
more business for everyone, there
Is less crime and far greater popu
lation. People who before feared
to move with their families to this
section and invest their money and
educate their children, are now
coming without hesitation. Since
the news Of the cleaning out of the
vicious element was spread, Spo
kane has risen to the highest ranks
among city governments.
Almost 5 years ago The Press
sought interviews ON "The Wide
Open Town." and the leading min
listers and leaders OF the wide-open
elements gave some interesting
statements. Just who were rights
you may judge by the following ex
tracts:
For Suppression Of Gambling
Rev. A. r. Lambert: Gambling
places should be abolished because
of the fact that it is a barrier in
the way of the stable develop
ment of the town. They ought tc
be abolished because of the low
ebb of morality caused by their
presence"
Rev. Wallace: Spokane gam
blers and their friends say gam
bling is profitable to the city. Let
them tell who besides themselves
get the profits. Doubtless the How
ard st. element could tell interest
ing tales about where the profit
goes. 1t is said our merchants ia
vor gambling because it profits
them. Such a statement is an in
suit"
DR.. Oliver w. Van Osdel: Mora
people as a class are the mos
prosperous in business. A wide
open town keeps moral people GU
