 Over the casket containing the silent remains oi Horace Greeley, woven in the waxen blooms of the tube rose and outlined and accentuateC in raceful, creeping foliage, was the inscrip ton:

 A sacred, uplifting admonition to the world from the mute lips of the sleeping journalist 1t was motto-a rule-that had guided a Ions and useful life, and one that, faithfully adhered to through the worlds vicssitudes, might b, fearlessly taken to St Peter at the pearly gates of Paradise. Ancient as may have been tht original proverb, it was born again in the lift of Horace Greedy, and immortalized in livine flowers and creeping, clinging vines at his death

 The social problem, confronting the city o1 Globe today, prompts the Silver Belt to appea to the people and to the officers for an admins tration of real justice and absolute fairness il treating with the victims of their own folly anc the targets for this newborn crusade. We dc not question the sincerity nor the right of the l pool of iniquity from the heart of the city and place 1t ln locality where it will be less con tamlnatlng. Even the most liberal thinker, the man of loose morals the indifferent, will not of Ter resistance to movement, fairly conducted Tor the betterment of civic conditions That in the evolution of the city this seat of vice has been made to encroach upon the territory of the respectable and become a noxious odor in the n6strils of decency there seems to be an abund- ance of evidence

 Prostitution is in the nature of a disease IT springs originally from perverted mind and then broadens to perverted morals. In loath. Someness It rivals leprosy. Death is the goal in either attilction, the duration of life under the respective influences being measured purely by complications and the intensity of the ravages Where the body strength exceeds that of the mlnd the knife pierces the heart or a pistol hall Penetrates the brain. The journey is ever in the direction of the'grave The malady in most cases IS pronounced incurable. It is contagious in 9 degree and always contaminating. It requires the attention of physician rather than a prose cutor.
