VICE CAN Be
CRUSHED IN
FL PASO
Force of Numbers VIII Do
It, Says Minister Youth
Not Protected.
EVERY CITIZEN
SHOULD BE STIRRED

"One snowflake falls in the path
Of an engine and the train laughs at
it and goes on its way Today our
trains are all tied up because the
snOwflakes banded together and by
sheer force of numbers stopped the
engine from blowing through them
one man cannot stop evil conditions,
but cooperation on the part Of all good
men in this city viii clean it up"
In this manner Rev. Chas. J. Dickey,
pastor of the First Methodist church,
called attention Of his congregation
Sunday to the work that can be &C
cOmphshel by the Citizens league in
crushing vice in FL Paso He declared
there was no doubt Of its existence
here Discussing il, he said
No Protection for Youth.
The city diesn't provide adequate
protection for its youth.
1t has been reported that young
girls have been decoyed into restau-
rants by designing men. there have
been hOldups on the streets. burglar
les Of houses and gambling has been
conducted and the saloons have viO-
lated the law.
AS community we are the harbOrers
OF three disgraces of civilization, the
brotheL the gambling hell and the sa-
loon, and the worst Of these is the
saloon, for it is in its menacing shad-
Ow that the others Turk and flourish
The city doesn't provide adequate
protection FOR its youth Because on one
hand ii builds and maintains schools,
churches the Y. II. C. A and the
Y. ". c. A. at an enormous cost to
build up strong and symme trical citf-
zens, while on the other hand it IL
censes, protects or tOlerates institu
tiOns and conditions that destroy char
acter- Opportunity makes criminals
and so long as these institutions ex-
tst the opportunity is before the
youth
The Ruin of Boys.
These businesses are in operation
and they must have patronage to con-
tinue and much Of this patronage must
Of necessity come from the youth of
the city. Shut them up. There is no
restitution. If man steals your
pOeketbOOE, you have restitution, but
il your boy contracts a horrible disease
at the saloon, you have no resutu-
ton.
The home may be doing its best for
the youth Of the city, but so long as
the home. the city and state allow
these other institutions to exist. there
are some who wiz fail into them
Recent disclosures locally and the
splendid opportunity afforded by the
Citizens league ought to stir every
citizen that has the good of the city
al heart to act
The editor OF The Herald. who has
come out boldly against these things
ought to have the backing Of the good
people.
THE Citizens league proposes moth
ing radical, but only Just the least that
should be done by a community to
make it safe and TO command the re-
spect of the outside world.

He KNOWS The
CHARGES ARE
ALL TRUE
Minister Says Demand "For
Evidence" Appears Only
To Be a SUbterfuge.
EVERYBODY KNOWS
IT" HE DECLARES

That every exposure Of civic unclean-
illness made in The Herald is known
TO be true by all fair minded citizens
and that the gathering Of evidence
seems to be a good deal of q subter-
fuge" were the positYe declarations
Sunday Of Rev Kenneth Brown IN ms
sermons at both the Altura and Last
FL PasO Presbyterian churches lie
said in part
Il hope there viii be an increase OF
civic righteousness during the year
1912. Our city has been stirred dur
ing the last few days by The Herald
exposure of laWlessness and crime ana
the old Citizens league Of former days
has been revived
Herald should make this exposure to
prove to any ObserTant Person that
these conditions exist. Everybody
knows IL and IT is no use to ridicule
the assertion because definite evidence
is not furnished.
1--WE all know that residences and
business houses are being bu-Slarlzed
and persons being held up and robbed
in the public streets, so that no ones
life or property may be considered
I'VE all know that saloons are run
ming wide open day and night and on
Sundays when they choose to do so
and selling liquor TO minors.
1T is common talk that there are
disreputable houses outside of that
part Of the city assigned to such places
and that boys are gambling In the pool
halls and bowling alleys on Fl Paso
street and elsewhere
Il personally know Of the existence
of some of the lawless conditions, but
what can 1 do as an individual to have
them suppressed Ny testimony would
count for nothing without evidence
and I am not in the business Of secur-
ing evidence or prosecuting crime
There is plenty OF evidence at hand and
easily rrOcurabIe II those in authority
desire 10 use il.
The gathering Of evidence seems to
be a good deal Of a subterfuge, If We
are to Judge by the testimony Of the
police sergeant in The justice court
last Friday
chat the evil conditions as described
in The Herald practically exist no fair
minded observer viii question or deny.
These conditions must change and VIII
change quickly If every true man viii
do his duty. Play the part of Chris
tian citizen Pay your poll tax and
vote as a Christian ought to vote Join
the Citizens league Line up squarely
on the side of right against wrong
and place your heel on the serpents
head whenever IT shows itself in civic
affairs"

APPEALS FOR HELP
TO ENFORCE LAW
Rev. Mr.. lIillican Says
Every Christian Should
Join Citizens League

"Abhor that which is evil, cleave to
that which is good."-Romans 12-19-
was theNtext used by Rev. Ed L. Mil
lican at the East FL Paso Baptist church
Sunday night
He said in part: Tt seems as II so
many Of US have lost sight of God and
his commandments.
According to The FL Paso Herald
were are living againNin a day when
men are openly and willingly violating
the laws Of our country and our God.
Gambling is trapping our young men
as well as some of our fathers. The
Citizens League is making an earnest
appeal for our support to help to sup
press this evil
IF there is anyone who ought to
stand against such evil it is the Chris
tian people for God says we are the
light of the world; therefore we ought
to do everything in our power to sup
press the evil that darkens the path
way of life: that robs so many of our
homes of food and raiment; yea that
has been the ruinatiOn and damnatiOu
Of so many OF our young men and
women; that has caused men to leave
honest toll and labor and seek gain
through chance.
"e ought to do everything that is in
our power to suppress the evil that will
ruin the morals Of our CITY and social
standing and spiritual part Of the
church Of Jesus Christ.
j say my brethren. that gambling
should be suppressed in every way, not
only in the saloons and on race tracks
but in the cub rooms and in the homes
for sin IS sin. If gambling IS a viola
ton Of the law in one respect, it is in
every respect.
Il am first and last against gam
bling and any other evil that will de-
stroy the principle OF manhood
Let every one Of US stand by the
Citizens League movement and pray for
them and for our officers who have the
power in their hands to enforce the
laws of our great state.
Pray for those who are violating the
laws that God in his great mercy might
bring him to repentance. that they
might be saved from their sins and be-
come law abiding citizens"
