detailed to do this work. No appropria

One Official said he knew men who had

had no remedy to offer, neither did he

Des Moines will always be classed
as leading city of this group as Ions
as those in authority loaf on the Job

people to get evidence and prosecute
the wrongdoers. When these paid guar

ripe to get some who won T fail.

CRIME WITHOUT a REMEDY.

In June of this year Des Moines rank
ed among the first ten cities in the
country in the prevalence of CONNER
cialized crime. Anyone who knows
ANYTHING Of conditions and will tell the
truth knows full well that this rating
is correct. The reasons why crime m
tests the city have been charged to the
army camp by various officials both
past and present, but none have as yet
suggested, or put into execution or ac-
cepted from others single constructive
remedy for the evil. The course of adj
ysrtising a cleanup campaign and max
ing ssraids with adequate preparation
is like raiding the boche trenches after
communicating to them that the raid
WAS to be made and doing so without
artillery preparation or support. =
There are numbers of people both
private and public who know where
crime exists. The officers often know.
They ask the people to give them the cyl.
d.nce and the reply $ I'm Am ;saiis Gere 4
