CAUSE OF ALL THE TROUBLE.

To the Ogden Standard | have read
with considerable interest the state
ments of Chief of Police Browning.
published In d recent issue OF the
Standard. concerning the discussions
among chiefs of police of the various
cities In this country as to the best
methods of dealing with the social
evil This no doubt is perpleXing
question and it will remain so until
our municipal authorities learn to
strike at the greatest cause of this
evil. | have no doubt that so per cent
of all the crimes In this country are
chargeable against the traffic In lntoX-
icating liquors. 1t is strange that ev-
cry man and woman of ordinary COM
mon sense does not realize that money
spent for Intoxicating liquors Is worse
than wasted The liquor traffic fos-
ters bawdy houses and gambling
houses, fills our jails, our penttentiar-
les and our aims houses, It's heaviest
blows fall upon the innocent, | be-
lieve that Investigation will show
that a majority of the boys and girls
to be found In reformatories and In
dustrial schools are victims OF this
curse: that In a majority of cases,
one or both Of the parents OF such
children are patrons of the saloon The
way then to control and curtail the
social evil as we'll as other crimes, Is
to abolish the saloons and stop the
sale of intoxicating liquors. And the
way to stop the sale is to strike at the
very evil by stopping the manufac-
ture OF the vile stuff. The liquor
traffic not only corrupts the morals Of
community but fosters grating"
and dishonesty in municipal affairs.
Eradicate the liquor evil and much
will be accomplished toward the sup
preston of crimes and vices of all
kinds Respectfully.
