from Belle London, and her associates.
Legal aid was sought In the civil courts
with uncertain result, by honorable ci-
tizens. All this time It was the sworn
duty of the officers of the city govern
ment to stop prostitution as crime, and
certainly, it was their duty to oppose
its becoming organized into a powerful
system with nearly half a million do
lars capital actually invested.
There was still one method to stop
tie terrible outrage. an extraordinary
method. it is true, but an effective one.
There are state laws covering prostith-
ton as we'll as city ordinances. When
matters had gone this far, the state
officers for this county. the sheriff and
his deputies, took up the fight for
law and decency. They have been sue
cessful. With only their limited force
but with the zeal OF men working for
principle, they have caused hundreds OF
prostitutes to leave the city and with
each of them has gone the equally dan
gerous male who lived off her shame.
Citizens do you believe that IL the
CO. called american" party wins the
county, that the sheriff, county attor
ney and county commissioners will
carry out this policy? 1t would be u
party divided against itself in that case,
force should do and are paid for do
ing. An American" chief of police
refuses to do it; an American" sheriff
would not do it.
Citizens do you believe in harlotry?
Do you wish to go into partnership
with prostitutes? Do you wish your
taxes to pay a police force to protect
prostitution and create and maintain
Belle London's monopoly. Do you wish
the monthly liccnce money, or fines Of
her unfortunate inmates, to 60 into tho
city treasury? This is the issue Tho
best thought on the subject the thought
| of experts who have studied It in ECU
rope and America, condemn legalizcd
prostitution. It Is not u necessary
| evil; it is crime. The laws of God de-
clare it to be such. The laws of man
declare ii and make it CRIME!

The details of the affair are that
two students, Lusle and Rouse were

They were taken TO a vacant field,
where they were bound with wire
shackles branded upon the forehead
and left to shift for themselves. They
were finally able to free themselves
sufficiently to make their way to

cured help in removing the wires
which bound them.
And so the faculty decided to "sus-

CHICAGO AND HERE.

Chicago has a reputation for vile
resorts, but not long ago u judge Of
that city imposed a fine of S2.500 and
a sentence of two years imprison-
ment for having harbored an alien wo-
wan, for immoral purposes. The sem
tence, 1t is said. brought panic to the
traf1ickers in women. Heretofore they
have merely smiled in state cases.
which usually resulted In fines that
easily were paid from the profits Of
their degradation Incarceration in a
government prison is considered 4 far
more serious fate.
Other individuals. charged with
renting buildings for immoral pur-
poses. have recently been hauled
into court and received heavy sem
fences.
In this City things are different.
Here respectable citizens, VIC under
stand. invest money In n red light
district, where. 1t is understood, the
laws can be trangsresscd with the
knowledge and consent of the City
authorities. Here the proposition is
to form regular brothel trust under
the supervision of the police, though
the laws make II a serious offense.
Here it is proposed to put before the
young people u notorious example OF
law defiance and contempt of author
ity.by the officers elected to maintain
the law in the interest of public NOR
ais,
The crowd that is responsible for
this inlquity in the City are also clam
orng for control of the County.

Marion county, which includes about
10000 people. in addition to this city,
votes by machine. and It's decision on
the presidential contest should be
known few minutes after Z o'clock,
Eastern time, on November 8. Few
Isolated returns early in the evening
should be more illuminating than these.
An experienced Republican editor of
Southern Indiana expects to know how
the country has gone as soon as he
hears the Marion county returns; from
them. he thinks that he can tell how
the State has gone. and Indiana, he
says, always goes as does New York;
and. furthermore. which Is nearer the
fact ne says. Indiana Is always found
on the winning side. This Republican
editor says that II Bryan carries Ma
rion county, "all Is lost The county
is little more Republican than the
rest of the State. If 1t goes for Taft
by 1000 plurality it will show that In
diana Is mighty Close and that the
last precinct and election district may
have to be waited for In order to know
where tho electoral vote falls. If Ma
rion county gives Taft $500 plurality,
1t will show. according to this observer,
that the State has gone Republican BY
$4,000. People vote with such regu-
larity in indiana, party lines are so
firmly he'll. and the organization Is so
complete, that these figures doubtless
possess excellent interpreting value.

THE QUESTION OF PRICE.
New Orleans PIcayune

In order that trade shall be fairly
prosperous to all there should be the
greatest amount of consumption re-
Tuired for the comfort and welfare
of the population, and this is accom-
plished by putting the prices of pro-
ducts in the reach of the people while
paying a reasonable return to the pro-
Queer Large crops are likely to lower
prices. while small crops raise them,
but the rises and falls should be within
reasonable limits, unless there are total
failures. which do not often occur, bu,
when they do. create disastrous corldi-
tons. Any measures. whether carried
out By government power or mob force.

daily necessity work such great evils

The Autocar,

Don't treat your chauffeur as an ac-
cessory. Remember he Will last longer
than your car. If used properly Don't
give your chauffeur twenty minutes to
catch train twenty miles away, and
then complain OF So SIS and costs. Don't
splash the mud over the dress of u lady
who is walking. Dresses are very ex-
pensive: besides. 1t might be your own
wife. Don't laugh at a small cars eff

tortoise and the hare. You may have

later. Don't abuse the man in charge
of the vehicle on the wrong side of the
road. Remember It's drawn by horse.
