limitation upon the number of saloons that may
be licensed means nothing. There are as many
saloons as the liquor interests desire, and past
experience shows that when the liquor interests
want more saloons, it will be easy enough to
\ get the city council to vote for saloons.
People who fancy that we are making progress

others who have disappeared and of whose fate
their friends have been unable to learn anything.
Again and again it comes to public attention that
girls from distant parts of the country, from
rural homes as we'll as from Cities and from
Canada and from the seas, are brought
here and held as slaves. Occasionally there is
conviction for some such violation of the law,
but in comparison with the enormity of the evil,
the police do nothing
In at least two cases within recent years. prom
inent and wealthy young men have been killed in
one of these vice preserves. One of then the
son of one of the greatest of American mer-
chants, is known by every newspaper man and
policeman of the city to have been shot in a
notorious dive of the Twenty-Second Street re-
glon, although he was reported to have been
killed by accident in his home The other was
found dead, only few weeks ago, in shameful
and suspicious circumstances, in another of the
Twenty Second Street region dives
MURDER OF THE 1NNocENrs
Of late, the voice of Chicago physicians has
begun to make itself heard protesting that out
from these vice preserves there flows flood of
disease, more terrible than eprosy, spreading de-
vastation upon thousands and thousands of limo
cent lives. Attention is being called to the fact
that Chcago's hospitals have wards filled with lit
tie children that are born into the world with
the brand of infamy upon them, doomed to lives
of misery because of the spread of the fell dis
eases that these places propagate.
The Chicago public has been shamefuy indif-
ferent to the existence of this state of affairs
Hush, hush" has been the answer of the peo-
pie whenever courageous reformer or incau-
tious preacher has ventured even to speak of the
existence of the evil. But the silence has at
length been broken by voice that will be heard
and the motherhood of Chicago, through the
w. c. T. u, is laundering at the door of the
city hall with the demand that this infamous dis
regard of law and decency shall cease
On the day. the date of which this paper bears
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of
Chicago, under the leadership of Mrs Emily M
Hill, the president of the Union will stand before
the mayor in his office and demand that the in
famous system of vice federation, of which he is
ex-offcio, the head and center, shall cease.

people ought to stand with them there

three miles long and $50 feet less than mile
