COMMITTEE OF FIFTEEN
WILL CLEAN CH|CA CO

Chicago, Ill, July l0.-Fresh inn
petus was given the committee of
fifteen's fight on commercial vice in
Chicago by the recent address of
former President William Howard Taft
at the committees annual banquet.
mo such trade can be carried on
unless the owners OF city property
rent or lease it for such purposes,
said Mr.. Taft. THE committee Of
fifteen has found out who the owners
are of the property in the red light
districts and have prosecuted them,
giving them by notice an opportunity
to stop this unlawful use of their
property before taking legal proceed
ings. They have secured an admirable
law, by which, when they ascertain
that property is being thus unlawfully
used, they can file bill for injunc-
ton against its further use and thus
abate nuisance, and compel the
property to lie idle for a year.
THE members of the committee are
engaged in fighting an evil which
is peculiarly tenacious in a great city
where municipal politics come close to
the ground and in which vile corrup-
tion and blackmail too frequently
play an important part. 1t needs cour-
age to fight the criminal purposes and
facilities of the underworld but the
committee Of fifteen and its superin-
tendent have had the courage and
shrewdness and common sense TO win.
They have so minimized commercial
ized vice in Chicago as greatly to re-
duce its harmful and noxious results.
They must keep at it, however-eter-
nal vigilance is the price of vic
tory"
In presenting his annual report
Supt. S. p. Thrasher said that since
the injunction and abatement law went
into effect in Illinois in July, 1915,
the committee had written 9SS infor-
NAL notices. "Of that number" he
said, 1907 owners or agents have take,
such action as to make it unneces-
sary to proceed further under the law
One hundred and eighty-one OF them
have been Careless or defiant Il think
In most cases II was carelessnes,
rather than defiance) and the second
or formal notice under the injunction
law has been applied for and secured
In all but two of them the injunction.
has accomplished all that could be de.
sired, These two have recently defieo
the law and require further attention
by the committee
we are having amicable and effec.
tive cooperation with owners and az
ents of property which we find to be
used for immoral purposes. Daring tn,
year covered by this report, S6 per
cent Of owners and agents notified
of the illegal use of their property
have acted promptly to correct the
conditions Of which we complained"
The committee of fifteen" wa,
organized in 1908 by Is prominent cit,.
zens to fight the white slave traffic
in Chicago. Superintendent Thrasher
reports it has grown to include NOR.
than 500 citizens and has a directorate
OF so. The executive committee chosen
from the directors retains a member
ship of Is.
Expenses are met by contributions.
At the meeting at which Mr.. Taft
spoke, Superintendent Thrasher re.
ports the committee was refinanced for
the next five years.

Literature received by Mrs Walcott
from headquarters at Oklahoma City,
was read, wherein it was stated that
the women of Carter county have
done very little in the way of organi-
zation and urged that Carter county
come alive" and take an active
part in the coming primaries and the
women of the county use their vote
10 place the tight men and women
in office.
Other plans mapped out by those
present who feel that the right of
woman suffrage is something more
than mere privilege granted the
women of the country, and are anx-
ious 10 impress the women of the
county Of voting as a duty they owe
themselves, their friends and neigh
bore TO see that good men and wo.
men are placed in office.
On August g. the general primary
is 10 be held. Numbers of persons in
this county, as well as in the entire
state have failed 10 register. In this
failure they are neglecting duty
The registration boxes will be open
July IS, and close July 23. The places
of registration have already been an
nounced in the paper and will again
be announced. Mrs. Walcott sincerely
urges that every woman in the county
register between those dates and cast
a vote in the primary.
II Is earnestly desired also, that
Carter county have a representation
at the Oklahoma City meeting, when
plans will be presented to the women
of the state for organization and con-
ducting the campaign in the various
counties over the state. Any woman
who can and will attend this meet,
ing will please phone Mrs. Walcott
to that effect.
The coucensus Of opinion among
the women present was to the effect
that, although politics have been
somewhat discounted because some OF
the men who have made it a life,
time business haven't been the right
sort. that politics is the saving grace
of a Democratic nation and the bal
lot is the purifier. The right and
duty of suffrage should not therefore
be lightly borne, and If one has not
registered, she is urged to do so and
pledge 10 vote August 3.
