Illinois System Assailed

Chicago.-Miss Virginia Brooks. the
young girl viligante, who delivered
West Hammond from its vice-ridden
condition, in a stirring speech before
1000 women who had gathered to par
ticipate in the suffrage jubilee at Hull

cheer after cheer from her feminine
audience, she described how corrupt
legal decisions are handed down from
the municipal bench, and how the
states attorneys office is swayed by
political power.
