They are too small for anything else
and this appears to be the only use
which may be made of them. There
are four of these OIL either side OF an

In this corridor is to be stationed a
policeman to check visitors ~, N ana M,

ELABORATE PLANS.
The scheme is an elaborate one. 1t
is one which to formulate and carry
to completion will require the eXpendi-
ture of over one-half million dollars.
1t must have been guaranteed police
protection, or it never Would have been
carried to its present state.
The time Is ripe for action. This evil
must not be permitted to live under the
protection of the police, whose duty 1t
is to enforce the law. The provisions
of the law are plain in this case. The
women who are to be the inmates of
this stockade are declared by the law to

those who will in any manner take part
in the traffic are as guilty as the worn-

place in lawful trade. The law
ii enforced. will prevent them carrying
on their business.
TITS UP TO THE PEOPLE.
Now let the people rise to aetion.i
There are within the city a sufficient
number Of organized societies to take
up this work. Which shall be the first
to act?
Who will be the first to lead the fight
against the Sirens who would lure to
ruin the youths of this city?
Who will be the first to call a halt in
the maladministration of the city? Who
will say to the American bosses.
Municipal brothels have no place in an
American city. They must go!'
NO PLACE IN POLITICS.
And this crusade against the plan has
no place in politics. There is no politi-
cal principle involved All men and
should unite in calling the halt Re-

and women should applaud Sheriff

and 1t must be enforced. The enforce
nent of the law means Kidding the city
of prostitutes and the parasites who
consort With them. 1t means that there
shall be no brothels within the limits
of the city. In the law is the remedy.
It's application and enforcement is all
thatIs needed.
