licans are successful he will drive all
of the women out of the stockade and
force them to patronize the rooming
houses. The keepers of questionable
resorts could not for moment doubt
Sharp's sincerity in promising to de-
liver TO them enough fallen women to
make their business hourishing. Since
Joe Sharp has delivered sixty-five of
these hapless creatures IN one chunk,
the disreputable rooming house pro-
prietors certainly can no longer doubt
either the willingness of Joseph Sharp
TO fulfill his contract or his ability so
to do.
Meanwhile Mr.. William Boyd is no
better off in his crusade against vice,
rs portrayed by the federation of fallen
women within the confines of the city,
than he was before. Truly, Bill Boyd
is the goat,
Another little matter comes to mind
in connection with the operations of
Joe Sharp and his political craftiness
Some time ago Joe Sharp's collection
of baby y-bank robbers arrested five
young fellows in a smoking room on
West Second South street These
young men were well known and popu-
lar railroad men who had just finished
their days work and were engaged in
a social game of pitch. Indulgence in
this pastime was in the righteous eyes
of the immaculate deputies, a horrify
ing and hideous crime, and they were
Immediately pounced upon as "des-
perate criminals. In their anxiety to
clean up the city and make life and
property safe, the deputies assured
themselves that. in the discovery of the
railroad boys pitch game, they had in

The captives were led before the
their bond at SIPS each. You see, the
gravity of the offense demanded a
high bond, 1t developed, however. that
the i've horrid men had a multitude
OF friends among the railroad men, and
these friends put up such a strong
holler that Hanks cut an inch or two
of his judicial dignity and reduced the
bond to S25 each
Yesterday Hanks was asked what had
been done with the cases. tWell. YOU
see, said he, with profound imnres-
siveness, as becomes a judicial Iumin
airy, you see, the county attorney
didn . think very much of an offense
had been committed and the sheriff
does not feel inclined to prosecute Che

to let Sem go.
Mr., Sharp did not figure on the
trouble he was starting for himself

rested those popular young railroad
men, You see, MIR, Sharp had forgotten
Tor moment that railroad men have
votes, and that they have habit of
casting them Just about as they please. !
