In group of chairs at end of this apartment

CAIRO 500 PER CENT. BETTER.

In his sermon last night Evangelist
Clarke who has been conducting a
series of very successful meetings at
the First Christian church, declared
that Cairo is 500 per cent better than
the outside world thinks 1t is. The
reverend gentleman might easily
have raised the per cent. several hun
dred notches and not been out Of the
way--if be judges Cairo BY the people
who live In 1t. The outside world
does not know the people OF Cairo; it
knows the community only by reputa-
ton, and for a city's reputation its
government is largely IL not wholly
responsible. Cairo's trouble has been
that, until very recently, its govern
ment has been conducted on the
theory that the vicious element was
the politically controlling element in
the community, which is not true
here. nor in any civilized community
on earth.

Nils Lueila Linegar, now Of Creal

evil. Her idea Is that the efforts
should be directed toward reforming
the wohien and the men. Instead OF
using the harsher method OF driving
the former from the city
Perhaps that method, while very
slow. would be surer of ultimate and
permanent results In the meantime,
however, there must be some strong
governmental control. and the evil
must be rendered jas harmless a.

end 1t must not be permitted TO
