While men are trying to eradicate
graft and protected vice from New
York, Philadelphia and other great
cities, the example of Virginia Brooks,
Of West Hammond, Ind, should not be
overlooked
Miss Brooks Is only a girl in her
twenties, who inherited property in
West Hammond. At the time she was
a resident of Chicago. In looking after
her inheritance she discovered that the
assessment was very high and went to
see about it, She was soon on the
trail Of graft, The 5000 inhabitants of
the town are nearly all poor people,
most Of whom have an imperfect
knowledge of English. and the grafters
found them easy marks Practically
single handed and alone, the girl be-
gan to investigate and soon found that
thousands of dollars were being taken
annually from the taxpayers. Vice and
gambling were protected ana flourished
on the main streets; the town was
overrun by saloons; the white slave
traffic was in full force, and generally
the place was not only wide open"
but the bosses were reaping the profits.
Girl Elects Reform Mayor.
Miss Brooks made her first trip to
West Hammond only about a year ago.
and yet recently, through her efforts, a
reform mayor and alderman were
elected, and n vigorous attempt 8 going
forward TO clean up the town Through
letters to the Chicago papers and by
other means this young girl has gone
forward in a task that many strong
men would have hesitated to undertake.
Best of all, she Is winning out. We
need a Virginia Brooks in every city in
the land
The first thing behind any great
movement must he public opinion
never fear-the demand for men will
create men. Never yet was there a
great occasion, a great opportunity but
some hero arose to III the place de-
signed for him
People sometimes ask. What leader
have we got?" And the answer is
any number of successful captains OF
industry, men of ability, high minded,
fearing, who are only waiting for
the call. The Chamber of Commerce
has a great opportunity and a great
responsibility to which it seems. at last,
to have awakened. Its members have
the right and the duty to form them
selves into a nominating committee to
say who shall stand for the city ana
lead us to heights of progress and sue
cess as yet undreamed of, The whole
city is behind them, even the women
whose aid they have formerly invoked
when they promised us a better gov
eminent. Have they kept the faith?
When Mrs. Belmont was asked if she
was supporting Mr., Roosevelt. she said;
"Oh, no; he has fooled us too often,
Gentlemen, take care. Even the worm
Will turn.

WILL SUBMIT A
new FRANCHISE
REJECTION or STREET RAILWAY
SCHEME AT MlNoT RESULTS
IN MOVEMENT.

Minot, N. D., Jan. 27.-Foilowing
the rejection by the city commission
Of the street railway franchise, COW
ering only the downtown district, It is
stated that later on another applica-
ton for a franchise which will cover
the entire city may be made. The
franchise requested Of the city COM
mission was objected to by City At
torney MCGEE on the ground that It did
not contemplate covering the entire
city, but merely a small portion, o
sisting OF the downtown district.
This arrangement was not satisfac-
tory to some of the persons to whom
the franchise ran, and it was a fore
gone conclusion that the franchise
would be rejected in its present form.
One of the persons to whom the
proposed franchise ran. said:
Il believe that q street railway sys.
tenn in order to pay WOULD have to
cover the outlying districts OF Minot
not merely the center Of the city.
People will not pay 5 cents to walk
a few blocks, but they will pay this
sum to ride half q mile or a mile.
A street railway system for Minot
should cover practically the entire
city, and especially those residence
districts that are far distant from the
center Of the city"
1t is stated that the plan ofcthe APP
plicants for the franchise was later
to extend the lines of the system to
the outlying district.
