Another article was read entitled,

SAYS FL PASO IS
NOT CLEANEDUP
Mrs. DETROIT Says Men of
City Have Not Yet Real
lied Their Full DUTY.

Eel Paso has not cleaned up and no
body knows it better than its men,"
said Mrs. Chas. DeGroff. today. This
city is still rotten and what FL Paso
needs is a lot more morality among
its men
we must drop frivolity and get
down TO the serious things and help
to win the war. Business men should
not fritter away their time discussing
frivolous things They should realize
and understand the duty that devoIves
upon them as citizens as fathers. as
husbands. and go to work and see that
FL Paso is made a fit city TO live in.
That picture, The Spreading Evil
now being shown in FL Paso, is a
great sermon and every man and
woman in e. Paso should see it It
warns US against this evil that is
spreading among us-that endangers
every home in e Paso and the coun-
try. Like lightning, we never know
where II will strike.
NO community can be healthy that
traffics in vice. Whisky and vice go
hand in hand and where you find one.
you find the other. Eliminate the
whisky and you will go a long ways
toward eliminating the traffic in souls.
7 speak as a business woman of 81
years experience, 20 OF them in FL
Paso- 1 know what I am talking
about For years and years, vicious re-
sorts were allowed TO operate within
view from my hotel-the Orndorff-
and all efforts Of good people to close
them failed. Finally from 1000 miles
away, one such resort was put out Of
business when the government bought
the site for a DOStOfffce
II we do not clean up Of our own
accord, we have no right to resent
the advice and the criticism from
people abroad. We have failed to
clean up for our own sake, for the
sake Of our city, for the sake Of our
children, and only started when we
were told that we must do so. by peO-
pie thouands Of miles away. II FL
Paso was clean, we would have no
cause to fear the meddlers,' for they
would have nothing to NEEDLE in.
El PasO is not clean and anybody
who knows anything. knows that it is
not. Its hotels and Its rooming houses
should be cleaned up. There is no
necessity for the purity squads TO go
out into the residence sections raiding
homes until after they finish up down
town. right in the center of the city.
Start there and carry it out to the
suburbs II you wish, but clean up
downtown first. I know Il needs It
I believe this war is making the
men realize more and more their
moral duties to their fellow men and
to their own families. 1t should. II II
has not. and I believe the good men Of
81 Paso are going 10 do something be-
cause it is right-not just for the dol
lar. Instead of frivolity, the men Of
FL Paso ought to be praying for the
country to win the war and for a
cleaner and a better home in which
TO live and rear their families. When
they reach the stage where they will
pray for these things. then they will
work for them and whenever the men
of FL Paso band together and work
for right. we are going to have city
that is right and not until then"
