Not Awake TO Necessity
One Of the greatest troubles with
FL Paso and one Of the CHIEF reasons
the city is as bad as i is. aecordins 1
to Judge Howe, is that the cltleEelsnip ]
IS not awakened TO the necessity OF /
unfolding the laws and seeing that I
these laws are Obeyed by returning /
their verdicts when on the jury
Mayor Davis said he believed
drink and drugs caused more
trouble In FL Paso than anything
me greatest evil in Fl Paso. iR |

Tijuana During the three years /
that have been sheriff he wrote, I
have noticed about SOC cases or dope I
users and during this time 7 have not
known of a single cure" The sheriff
told some Of the effects Of these
drugs and how they created within /
their users a desire 70 be criminal
Mai. Gen. HOWE said in his
opinion the greatest evil in FL
Pas0 Is trnceabie TO the failure on
the part Of citizens TO obey their
own laws
During the war nearly 20.00o,e00 /
soldiers forgot now 70 Work ana serve
and construct while they were learn
ing to fight and waste and destroy, i
write chief Montgomery. But the
soldiers emerged better of than the
civilians. The German theory that
a nation is cleansed in the uerT nap-
tism Of war is being proved as tal-
lacious. as are many other exploded
Hunnish doctrines.
Intolerance is one OF FL Paso's
chief troubles according TO Mr.. Black
booker that the citizens Of Fl Paso
have let their tolerance run 20 a vice
FL Pasoans pride themselves that
they have never had lynching,
wrote M Black, and when murders
Of the most fiendish and cold blooded
variety have been committed our peo-
pie have never been aroused TO the

dom been aroused sufficiently TO de-
mand the orderly and legal punish
ment Of the criminal We have been
tolerant; We have tolerated laWless-l
ness and petty vice.
For years we permitted the
gambler and the scarlet woman 10
flaunt their wickedness in public IN
til the strong arm Of the state law
reached out from Austin and drove ]
them to cover Our tolerance was such I
that while we ldeplored and OCCASION
ally protested against these evils. wei
did not reach out with our own hands ,
and the power ot'our local authorities 7
to destroy them. When reforms came I
we rejoiced mildly and were stil toll ]
Grant
The right thinking people oonsti-
tute an Overwhelming majority Of our
population and this majority has only
TO assert itself in order TO make Ell
Paso a clean city and keep IL clean.
And we can even clean un Juarez
once we are aroused to a proper sense
Of our responsibility for conditions onl
this side Of the line"
