GRAY POET
Is HONORED

This morning during chapel exer-
oises at the Oklahoma College for Wo-
men, memorial exercises were held N
honor Of joaquin Miller, the gray poet
O. the sierras," who died yesterday
Last year on November 10, the mem
bers Of the college and faculty cele-
brated his birthday.

end he became very much Interested
in the O. C. w. Shortly after their
return he wrote a letter to the col.
lege in his own handwriting and the
letter is now framed and on exhibit
tiou at the college.
The letter which the poet wrote to
the college girls was prompted by a
pennant some candy ANA other things
which the students sent 70 him. The
handwriting is a puzzl and some
parts OF the letter are undecipherable.
with tho exception Of such portions
as cannot be read, the letter is as fol-

Graft and Crime Protected.

I have kept silent about conditions in
the Desplaines street police district as long
as [ intend to. 1t is time the spotlight was
turned on this district and kept there. I
have given up hope of the police ever clean
ing up the district, and can't clean it up single
handed. Let's have little publicity
The district I am speaking of contains
the heart of the West Side. It extends from
the Northwestern railroad station to Halsted
street, and from Madison street north and
south for half mile on each side A con-
dition OF law defiance exists there which, I
think, is almost without a parallel anywhere
else in the world.
Every Monday morning when go down
to my court the view from the bench looks
like the accident ward Of hospital From
fifteen to thirty laborers are lined up there
wearing various sorts of bandages. The first
case is called
Cites Typical Case.
"What is the charge against this n?'
[ ask the policeman
II found him drunk in the alley back of
Blanks saloon" is the reply.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1913-05-23


have you got to say!'
Il went into Blanks sa1oon,' replies the
prisoner, land had a couple of drinks. After
that didn't remember anything until found
myself fighting with two men in the allev.
They took what l. had and knocked me out
That's all [ know about it,
The next case is called, and the next
The men all tell the same story. "Why don't
you bring in the saloonkeepers? demand Of
the policemen. 1--WE have had no evidence
against them,' is the answer
Now, if there was only one isolated case
OF man taking drink in a saloon and soon
after, being robbed, this answer of the police
might be good ab But where this sort
OF thing goes on day after day and week after
week from the same saloons, it seems to me
the idea ought to strike the police after
while that it would be fine idea to go out
and get some evidence against these saloon
keepers. That idea has never struck them
however.
How Saloonkeepers Escape
short time ago l had before me a CO.
calne seller named Kaufman | sent him to
the BrldeWell. One would think from the
efforts made to save that fellow from going to
jail he was at least an alderman and possibly
United States senator.
Facts in the case showed Kaufman by
means Of signals operated in saloon. 1t
seems to me anybody but blind man could
have seen the saloonkeeper must have been a
party to the cocaine selling YET the saloon
keeper never was brought into the station,
and no one ever suggested it might be a good
idea to bring him into the station
Another case that comes to mind is that
OF doctor who was robbed of his watch and
money in saloon. After he had made his
complaint to the police the saloonkeeper met
policeman and gave him the doctors watch.
If that saloonkeeper knew where the watch
was he knew who had the money Neverthe-
less, no one ever arrested the sa1oonkeeper.
Two boys were brought in recently for
fighting. The testimony was that they had
been in a saloon near Halsted and West Madi-
son streets drinking all night There was
case against that saloonkeeper right there
10 this day the police have never acted on it.
The Chicago Daily News of the 24th quo
ge Mahoney as saying:
Yesterday afternoon I walked down
Madison street from Despanes to Canal. I
saw twenty DRINKS on the street Not merely
persons you would know had been drinking,
but staggering, dull-eyed wretches Seven
men in semi-conscious state, bumped into
me in my progress down the street
Pretty good evidence, isn't it, that where
st saloons are found, there are found also the m
nks? Regulation doesn't regulate!

Chicago's dive saloons and barrel houses the
hatcherles for of every kind, the roostng places
for jack-rollers pckpockets thugs and gunmen give
the city reputation for lawessness and crime Chi
and the fact that it is not compacently accepting the
situation as hopeless advertises it's wickedness. The
constant aggressive warfare waged against graft and
vicekeeps Chicagos sins in the bright light of
publicity And the light is doing its work The truth of
the old saying that ray of light flashed into rat
hole destroys the hole for rat PURPOSES is being dem
onsrated For the time-beng it might be better for
Chcagos reputation if the champions of civic right
eousness would their attacks, but it would be
disastrous for the ctys future.
No, Chicago is long way from being hopelessly
corrupt. No city with earnest desire to improve
morally, is constantly in evidence in Chicago, is
hopeless One of the promising signs for cleaner
conditions is the activity which certain of the n11-
ncipal judges have displayed in an effort to uncover
and eradicate protected vice. These men have been
fearless in their pursuit of what Judge Mahoney
terms "the invisible force"
Judge Mahoney, who presides at the Desplanes
street police court, few weeks ago declared that
criminals were being protected in the West Side vice
district It's the old story of saloon politics.
These barrel houses of this district came in for
severe condemnation time ago by Judge Gem
mill, Of the municipal court.
Here are some of the charges made by Judge
Mahoney, published in the Chicago Tribune of
