Is HE RIGHT?-In reply to the
article by Mr.. Mercer, in which he
states that he is Christ, and Alex
ander Dowie was Elijah, the prophet,
the forerunner of him, his knowledge
of the bible seems to be lacking. 1t
is specified that Elijah shall restore
all things.
Consider. Does it demonstrate in
the life among mankind that all
things are restored today? There is
more confusion at present than ever
before. And Dowie, the pretended
prophet, is dead. Nowhere in the
scriptures is it told that Christ shall
retire after his second manifestation

years, in which meantime will be a

VICE OF GOLD.-It would be in
teresting to know just what did Mr.
Arthur Burrage Farwell mean when
he wrote in The Public Forum that
vice and social evil diminished in
Chicago since the segregated vice
district has been abolished. There
is so much vice and such an abund-
ance of evil in Chicago that one is at
a loss to know what sort of vice Mr.
Farwell referred to. His concluding
sentence offers the very good advice
that ga good name is to be chosen
rather than riches" from which one
should be led to assume that his ar
ticle deals with the vice and evil of
those who have chosen riches rather
than a good name.
OF course, this subtle suggestion
of difference between riches and
good name is very likely an uninten-
tional slip of the tongue on the part
of Mr.. Farwell, for it is incompatible
with the prevalent idea of law and
order" to insinuate, even by the re-
hottest suggestion, anything evil in
connection with the rich interests.
Be that as it may. Whether Mr..
Farwell had in mind the rich inter-
ests when he wrote of segregation,
vice, and evil, or not, it is well to
remind him that a segregated district
still flourishes in our city, one which
is far greater menace to the good
name of our city than any vice dis
trict that he could have thought of.
Irefer to that segregated and exclu-
siye district of gold-plated vice,
known as the loop district of big bus
mess, which is the hotbed of vice
and lawlessness.
The most recent catastrophe, the
loss of so precious life as that of
Catherine Goggin, the purest and
noblest of women, should serve as an
example of what terrible sacrifices
the city brings to the greed and law
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-01-11

lessness of big business. If the loop
vice district would have complied
with the city law requiring tenders to
be attached to auto trucks the great
life of that great woman very like
ly would have been saved.
Would it not be a good idea for Mr..
Farwell to use his good offices to fight
for the enforcement of the fender
law, in spite of the State street
greedy viciousness? Would it not be
well for the Law and Order league to
work for the adjustment of the loop
segregated vice district" or at least
to curb its pernicious power, which
debauches the press, prostitutes some
of our city officials and breaks our
laws? Shall we not check the growth
of the loop underworld and block
their activities regarding the build
ing of endorsements and subways,
the only purpose of which is to take
the people by an underground way to
the loop, so as to keep them from
travelling on the earth's surface in
Gods dallight, lest. they see the
stores outside the loop and spend
some of their money before they
