But it is as legitimate an outcome
as the development Of any plant Bur-
bank ever grew. Rock Island has from
time immemorial been simply and
shamelessly rotten. That unholy
triumvirate. the saloons, the brothels
and the gambling houses, which are
quick to assume the right to rule
municipalities, have long been en-
throned in Rock Island by the consent
OF the governed. 1t was one of those
lively wide open towns. When the
Cosson laws made Davenport's Buck

Rock Island became an even livelier

was only cultivating infamy and de-
stroying the sense of citizenship. The
harvest it is reaping is Of its own seed

II doesn't matter whether the mayor
was playing politics or not when he
attempted some small regulation OF
vice in Rock Island. Conditions had
been created which gave the Mark
Antonys OF the underworld their
chance to show the wounded body of
wee and make effective appeal to the
vicious. These Antonys are part Of
the development OF a >ity OF shame.
IneTe are attorneys who gasp greedily
at the wages Of prostitutes and alleged
newspapers which seek support as the
advocates of open vice and easy money.
Every city has its saloon Cicero and
its Demosrhenes Of the slUn,s. In pro-
portion as citizenship desenerates these
take on prominence.

surprising, that in the Yale Review a
man of Mr.. \. Maurice Lows views
should be given the leading place for
an article IL praise OF Mr.. Taft.
In this production Of a reactionary
Journalist we find the following de-
Roosevelt's regime:

House he faced a nation in hysteria

tered. II vas a day Of big words and
small deeds. 1t was the fashion 10 call
men dishones, and to attribute to them
unworthy motives. There was an in
sensate cry for reform, but there was
no reform. The people were being
driven into that mental condition when
they were ripe fer any folly. which
might easily take the FORM Of violence.
Demagogues had pandered to passion,
and prejudice, and ignorance. They
had dem handed the passage OF new laws
in supposed interest of the people when
the old laws, il rigidly enforced. would
nave corrected many OF the evils that
admittedly existed. Honesty had bee.
preached and dishonesty was prac-
ticea: equal justice to all had the ring
OF sincerity. but tavorttism was ram

This is the VOICE Of Wall street. Is it
the voice of Yale? The Yale Review is
surely not forum in which any man
may set up TO preach. Does Mr.. Low
offer in this egregious article q respect

regulation OF public service corpora

Chronicle? II that be the case. Mr..
Taft is not what he asserts himself to

TAKE THE WITNESS.

In comparison and connection with
the conditions in Rock Island the fol-
lowing from the Ottumwa Review,
democratic daily and favorable TO sa-
looms as against a dry town is offered
as another exhibit in the case Of De-
cency VS.. the Wide Open Policy. Three
men have been dropped from the OF
tumwa police force thru no fault of
their own but simply because their ser
vices are redundant under present con-
ditions. Ottumwa refused the petition
of consent last year and went dry. The
Review says in its news columns:
According to Chief of Police Bee
mans books, the greatest number o,
men employed on the force at one
time was in January, 1911. when
twenty-five names appeared on the
payroll. The first cut was made in
April, Of that year two men being
dropped In May further reduction
was made in the force making the TO-
tai number Of officers seventeen. In
July when the saloons We're closed one
man was dropped, and the cut made in
September following reduced the num-
Der of men 10 thirteen. These men
were carried until last month when
Officers Elliott and Llewelyn were Civ
en- their discharges. The three officers
whose term of service will expire on
the first of April. will bring the force
TO eight men. total reduction in the
department Of fourteen men in one
year.
Rock Island is already filed as ex-
hibit A.
If the jury has time it might figure
the difference in the cost Of police
force of twenty-five men against an
other of eight. Il can get the items from
the books of the chief of police Of OF
tunwa. It will be necessary to esu-
mate the saving in wages and reputa-
ton and heartache which have been
concomitant with the difference be-
tween twenty-five policemen and eight.
This has been the greatest saving. 1t
will be hard to get the actual figures
which represent wages invested in coal
and food and clothing instead Of
wasted in whisky. But it is the big
gest Of all and We all know that it was
made.
AZ to the difference in public and
individual morality, there isn't any
question over that. The less crime and
the smaller need of policemen the more
decency. Even a saloon lawyer would
admit that.
Take the witness.
