Soon after that report was made to
Judge Fesler, the grand jury adjourned
to October I. Concerning matters,
Mason M. Forbes, acting county attor-
ney, said:
"We intend to 90 right after these
conditions. Any conviction against
proprietors Of alleged resorts will
bring abatement action under the state
law, which means shutting up of the
premises for a year, and an abatement
assessment of $500 against the prop
erty in addition to the criminal fine.' -

missioner Murnian and chief of police
Murphy showed puerile resentment at
the action of the hundreds of citizens
affected and the prompt action of the
grand jury.
Mr.. Murnian was reported as saying
at the time: 'tIt is not our intention
to take the word of any person who
happens to talk. There will be moth
ing said until we have ascertained for
ourselves the quality Of the evidence
involved"
After Mr.. Murnian has been in Of
flee five months and chief Murphy
about four months, they have failed
to learn that something like fifty dis
orderly women and their "men" are
making the old segregated district
hum as it has not hummed for many
years. It is only fair to state that
there are several immoral dumps down
there occupied by white girls.
Chief Murphy delivered quite a long
bit Of verbal camouflage. At the time,
he was quoted as saying:
"We have been doing all in our
power to keep conditions clean not
only in the district mentioned but
every part Of the city. This district
is not the only one that needs watch

"There was honest John Tomp-
kins, the hedger and ditcher.
Who was very poor, and didn't
want to be richer
So ran the old rhyme which went
on to extol the virtues of the honest
laborer who was entirely satisfied
with whatever portion Of the wealth
he produced that his employers and
society saw fit to allow him for his
toll.

plunged this and similar fallacies from
the text books of the schools-whicb
shows that the world do move.
At the time such sentiments were
written for the moral guidance of the
"ising generation the toiler as well as
the employer and CRATER were all
anreed, no doubt, that such were very
noble and correct ideas to instil into
the minds of children Of the toilers
for their future welfare. But change
las come over the minds of men.
Nowadays the only people who believe
such sentiments eminently proper are
The originators of criminal big bust
ness and the mnltitudes of grating
svcopbants who live from the crumbs
thrown from the tables Of the Grim
;nel rich as reward for their faith
fulness as bundle carriers and curkoos.
For proof that these classes still be-
lieve that the honest John Tompkinses
who do the work of the world. and
enable the former to roll in luxury
without toll, should be entirely salts
eied to remain in poverty all their
ives and die in the poorhouse or be
aependent on relatives after their
days Of usefulness are at an end, It
is only necessary to carefully peruse
The current news and other literature
Of the daily papers and such maea-
lines and reviews as are published for

their retinue Of spoilers.
"The only way to reduce the cost
Of living,' say these cuckoes of the
prostitute press, els for the laboring
man to accept less wages and work
'nnoer hours and thus increase pro-
duction. {" The changes are rung on
this fallacy in myriad forms, but the
-nbstance Of tho cry always remains
the same-the laborer alone is the
cause. The Evening Paytriot and the
Morning Apology of course fell into
line with their usual aviditv for
promulgating ANYTHING that will help
grind down the toiler and make
nrofits Of the Fat Boys larger. Like
all the other cuckoos and 1ickspittles
they argue that increased wages, alone,
increase the cost Of production and
that decreased wages with longer
hours of toll is the only remedy for
the present saturnalia Of profiteering.
Did you ever hear one of them
snogest that smaller profits for those
who produce nothing and whose only
toll is to stand between the teller and
his dinner bucket and take an unboly
toll wonld reduce the cost Of produc-
tions Not once.
The sole cause Of present conditions
is this: Whenever wages are increased
TO meet increasing costs OF living the
employer adds his usual profit, not
only on the higher cost Of the goods
he uses. but also on the higher wages
he pays, with the result that, with the
increased cost of the necessities Of liv-
ing, the toiler is worse off than be-
fore, while the employer takes a much
larger profit than ever.
The fact is that every toiler in the
land carries about four or five other
people on his back-two or three of
them are members Of his family and
the other two are human leeches and
bloodsuckers whose support adds to
the cost Of production unnecessarily.
For instance, I the milling combine
stands. between the farmer and the
consumers table and takes an unjust
toll. Did yol ever hear bundle
