EXPOSURES BY
THE HERALD
Says He Is Proud of a Paper
That Shows up the Law
Breaking in a City.

'I want to compliment one Of your
newspapers and its editor who had the
moral courage to hit the great Amerl-
can corruption, gambling, and TO put
it on the front page and to write II
In blazing words in an editorial And
[ hope the ministers and everyone else
will rise Up and crush the gambling.
Run out gambling and out goes prosti-
tuition, wine and whisky drinking"
Bulgin was at his best Tuesday
night To use his own expression he
had steam up. He had been good long
enough. he said, and he was going after
some of the things he had seen since
he came to FL Paso. He started off
by denouncing the Sabbath breaking IN
FL Paso as a sin and a disgrace, gave
gambling a body blow in the picks,
took a rap at the social evil, an equal
" hard one at saloons, which he de-
clared were as much needed in Ell
Paso as he needed bed bugs in his bed.
raped spiritualism, Christian science
and card playing, took shot at the
s P and talked plainly to the men
and women on their duties and obliga-
lions in his appeal for a single stand
ard Of morals.
Praises Herald.
He reached the climax of his civic
Grafton when he attacked the city's
lawlessness, the gambling, Sabbath
breaking and the social evil. 1t was
then that he placed his stamp Of ap
proval upon The Herald's exposure of
the true condition of things in the
pool halls and gambling houses of the
city. He called upon the ministers
and everyone else to back up the fight
on law breaking in Ell Paso. No one
escaped the evangelist after he had
announced that he had a full head OF
steam on board and was due for some
plain speaking.
Sabbath Dissertation.
1T was a shame and a disgrace to
a newcomer on last Sabbath to see
gangs Of men at work on that big
building yonder and to see others
working alongside the railroad track,
he said. "Others were going to the |
bull fight and the gambling dens !
acros the river, while others were go |
ing TO the moving picture theaters- /
There is too much Sabbath breaking in |
this city. / can give you the names of i
two men who left here for Oklahoma ,
and California to buy homes because |
they said Ell Paso was a wide open
town. You are losing in real estate
values every time you violate Gods
law. Keep at the towns officials to
make a Sabbath law if you haven't
one already, and keep at them until
they do it
Saloon Like a BedbuE.
You don't need saloons and whisky
in Ell Paso any more than L need bed
bugs in my bed A bedbug never brings
any blood to inject into you and sa-
loon is a wealth consumer and not
wealth producer and never can be-
An impure man and woman is a
treason against the state and they are
worse traitors than Benedict Arnold.
There is not a man today who would
walk up to the altar and marry wo-
man If there was a shadow of doubt
about her character. Men, they have
the same right TO demand of US what
we demand Of them. Men, listen. Let's
be pure, too, for there is the founda-
ton of all civil punishment There
are nurderers in Ell Paso, too. For the
Bible says that any man who is angry
with his brother is a murderer.
Women Gamblers
Some of your pink tea society WON

play cards for a silver pitcher Any
one who does that is a gambler What

compliment a man who stands up
against it. Did you ever violate any
breaker. The law says a penalty if
YOU don't do right; the gospel says a

the law or the gospel If you are un-
Ter the law you are lawbreakers. Will
