Now they say the South SIDE leNee
is wide open again. Not surprising.
The police are dealing only with the
effect when they put the lid on vice.
The cause is always there; and it's
too deep to be reached by all of the
policemen in this or any other coun-
try. ..
Policemen can't make people
moral. Neither can laws. Many peo-
pie who are immoral would be moral
if they had chance.
In our rotten industrial and social
system many are bad" because it
appears to be the easiest way.
Closing up vice districts doesn't
eliminate vice. Only covers it, up in
spots. 1t breaks out in other spots.
It's beneath the surface all the time.
Too many reformers are wasting
time trying to reform persons instead
of conditions. They seldom reform
themselves. It's more sport reform
ing others.
If all the reformers in Chicago
would turn their attention to getting
living wage for workers of both
sexes they would get farther with
their good intentions as to curing
vice.
Some of the alleged vice they are
trying to cure is human nature. And
human nature isn't much different
than it was two thousand years ago.

the people by offce-holders.
Chief Gleason is going to put the
kibosh on the dice game. It always
was easier to get at the fellows who
rob themselves by gambling than to
get the fellows who rob others
against their will.

If the city can't get good service
with what street car system we have,
how in thunder are they going to get
it with a few hundred more millions
worth of system? 49,
What the people really need is the
best possible service with the system
we have. -.
We could get that now if the city
administration knew how. But ser
vice is always a promise, never a per-
Torrance. -'
And the street car magnates keep
on playing horse with the people.
In getting together that $12,ooo,-
900 out of Chicago's 55 per cent, the
people have lost $1OO,O00,OOO worth
of service.
And the people who ride on street
cars will get mighty little good out
of the S12,OOO,OOO. N.

never get their fingers on it. We
mean the people. Some fingers will

drew blood.
