To come little nearer home: THE Mayor

knowingly violates this law. and is false to the
oath Of office wherein he pledged himself to up

interests of the people. and the trust placed in
him by conniving. for their hurt, is he not
traitor also?

Editor Nirginian;
Sr-Will YOU allow me the use Of a small
space In your columns fer the expression of a
few thoughts concerning the segregation of vice?
You say 1.-The Mayor, the Police Commission
ors and the Chief of Police all under oaths
10 enforce the law, and "the oath of the Mayor
as the Mayor knows. ana as the people know,
demand that he enforce the law and the law
prohibits the existence of houses of i'll -fame."
That they know they have the right and the
power TO do this they proved conclusvely. when
they exercised that right and that power by shut
ting up those places THANKSGIVING day They
proved more than that. for they proved that II
they are allowed longer exist. it is ry their
with vice. and for ito continuation.
So then these officials stand IN relation to
this law as 'lawbreakers."
should the President and all The other high
officials of our government refuse to uphold the
constitution and the laws OF our country, and
openly and continually violated their oaths of
office. and by thus doing betravng best in
terests into the hands Of enemies. would 1t
not be perfectly logical and Just to stigmatize
them traitors?
And If the Goyarnof of our State violates MS
oath of office, fails to uphold the laws, and to
act for the hest interests of the people who
elected him but instead throws his influence
and the power OF his position against their best
