Editor FL Paso Herald:

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
Any person, specially a stranger,
would judge from the reports being
published relative to the necessity OF
cleaning up Ell Paso, that our city is
about the worst on the map.
The truth is that FL PasO is no
worse than other cities OF like size.
In fact in many respects is much
cleaner, more progressive, more sani-
tary. is healthier and I venture the
assertion, there is as little vice as in
any city in the state.
Why not advertise to the world
some of our good features instead OF
Haunting our few evils. In the Texas
Republic Of March ?. a San Antonio
paper was a statement showing that
We certainly are cleaner and more
sanitary than San Antonio, so why not

dig trenches. And, furthermore. we
as American soldiers do not wish to
compare our army with that of Rus

H n. Iarrimore. During the strikes
in the southern Colorado coal fields
several years ago, national guards
men on duty in the district would
work the following scheme; One man
would seek out civilian, and offer
him a pistol or some article OF the
kind, for a small amount OF money.
After the civilian had purchased the
seeming bargain, other soldiers would
step around the corner, and place him
under arrest for having government
property in his possession The
pistol would OF course be confiscated.
and the civilian, seeing a penitentiary
sentence apparently staring nm IN
the face, would often give up all the
cash in his possession to be released
by the soldiers. He would, OF course,
be too frightened about his own COM
pliclty in the affair TO ever report the
case. Then the same outfit OF SOL
diers would work the same scheme on
another civilian, dividing the money
gained from the sale OF the pistol. and
the hush money that was given up. II
the plan proved to be this successful.
