To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Permit me 10 express my profound
satisfaction with your editorial on The
Shame of Illinois" which is by far the best
i have seen on the abominable outrage on
law and order which took place at Cairo.
Your characterization Of IL as tending TO
degrade and dehumanize those who took
part in 1t as participants and applaUding
spectators is right 10 the point. The local
authorities were contemptibly weak that
they did not promptly attempt the sup
preston of the riot In it's incipiency.
They should have called on the Governor
for sufficient military force, including a
battery of artillery. which should have
been trained en- the mob and effectively

ing and wounding of half IT'S number IL
would have been magnificent vindication
of the majesty OF Law and the honor OF the
state which was outraged.

infamy. JR DL

Club he pronOunces 10 be inspired by
the New York City traction interests"
Accordingly he warns the public not to
be beguiled BY the reOrganizers. Let

cratic League. From now ON William
