The folly Of harboring red
light" district in the heart of
the city. within a block of the
main business thoroughfare and
practically adjoining the freight
depot is just now being brought
to the attention of the Clovis
people by evangelist Rev. I. o.
Reese, who with his singer ].
P. Scholfeld are conducting
nightly revival meetings at the
Baptist church.
Mr.. Reese is handling the sit
uation without gloves" as the
saying is and his criticism of
this public nuisance is timely
and correct.
If the bawdy house is a nee
essary evil then why not locate
it in some remote section or Sc
cluded spot on the outskirts Of
the city and not where the fam
lilies Of respectable residents
can see them daily. It is said
that the denizens of the district
are becoming so soliticious as to
give the "hailing sign" to pas
sengers on the trains.
Alderman Childers said tQt
he was in favor of their remov-
al if a suitable location could be
selected without incurring new
opposition.
Alderman Townsen thought
they could be best governed if
located right on main street un-
der the constant watch of the
officers.
The News is informed that
the railroad officials are very
much displeased with the pres
ent location of the district and
are lending encouragement to
the thought Of its removal.
Whatever may be said or done
the fact remains that public
sentiment is against the policy
of maintaining a red light"
district in the heart of the city.
