OVER AND ovfR.sAME RESULT.

Every town has had the experience.
1t has permitted undesirable citizens
10 hang out about town. living well
and wearing good clothes and doing no
useful labor until the legitimate result
Of such leniency makes itself manifest
In shoe king crime.
Every town has had its little group
OF younger and older men who live by
their wits. by law violation, petty
SAMPLERS, booueggeTs. its bullys and
braves. and in instances its black
mailers, it's undercurrent of crime and
vaGrancy, bold and sneakins, cowardly

accepted them as part of the life OF
the town or city, failed 10 hurdy eurdy

reason until the climax came in crime

All towns have had that experience.
Then all towns have had a spasm Of
law enforcement and a tentative, half
hearted cleanup Of the vicious. often
and even usually the sang absents
itself for few days until things blow
over" Then sneaks back one or two at
time and the same thing is to do
over again.
It is probably hang over from the
DAYS when every town had an under
world and vicious circle. a sort Of
whitechape! gang when the saloon
was headquarters for a vicious element
and did its best to protect 1t. When
vice paid license TO the cities and
perhaps paid again for protection
Va tell into the notion that just about
so much vagrancy crookedness and
vice were natural clements of society.
We arrested and fined and arrested and
fined and turned the police court
wheel round and round with the same
grist.
A vicious element given place in a
town is a bid for serious crime. The
petty gambler and the known boot
logger and of that ilk are the seeds
that flower in shocking and terrible
outbreaks. The criminal element grows
and. feeds on leniency and neglect and
Indifference of the public and the au-
thorities.
The way to clean up a town is 10
clean thoroughly and keep on cleaning.
Most Of our crimes, like most of our
troubles come from negligence and
carelessness. This much is certain
the man without visible means OF sup
port or who rs known to be living in
defiance OF law is a dangerous and IN
desirable resident and means should
he taken to rid the community Of his
