section, commenting and arguing in
furious arraignment Of the measure
The bill WIS a most vicious one, he
said. M
Let the officials of the law do their
duty,i' Andrpws went on. ssIf they
do only 4 portion Of II crime. wili5be
no more. Every Feature Of this bill il
fully'andjamply covered BY present law,
federal, Territorial and municipal, ex-
cept one, and that Is this, that man
may be robbed Of his home rs part OF
the punishment for violation of this
bill
tsThis is the terribly vicious feature
Of this abatement measure. There lis no
reason for it, The present laws pro-
social evil law violations. Is il neces-
sary 70 sell man out Of his home and
make him beggar in this community
| think not and I am fully convinced
that my colleagues in this house win
not stand for anything of the sort"
The attorney general the city and
county attorney, the district attorney
and other officials with police powers
could do their duty under the existine
laws, claimed Andrews. If they did
not they could be impeached. There
was territorial grand jury and "a fede-
raj one. These bodies could be appeal
ed to at any time. They were com
posed of prominent citizens, generally,
residents Of the community.

arews tYou may have house rented
to some one. Unknown to you, pros
titution is praetised in that house. Some
one complains, sesnres on injunction

again by affidavit, and your accuseI
gives no bond to protect you If he II
wrong and the. charge is unfounded
Upon three days notice you are
brought into court and the case is tried

mind all the time
Mr.. Andrews spoke yet at quite som,
further length. w
Holstein asked him II he did MOI
know that District Attorney Huber wal

favori Does that alter the situationf'
Andrews retorted. q He is not familial
with our local conditions. lie, himself
as district attorney, possesses the pow
efs to clean this community Of vice, es
4 pecially Of the social evil. The fed
leral laws brook no Indifference in thei
