1t scarcely needs adding that the states
attorneys work, il tangible results are to

The duty of the authorities in city and
county is abundantly plain. The gangs
are fighting and killing each other, not
from love OF sport, but for pelf and power,
for control OF an illicit and lucrative bust
ness. They have no anxiety about the
public authorities. What they want is a
clear field i'll which to operate under the
benevolent rule of the county officials.
The lawless saloons, the gambling dens
and the houses of Ill fame that flourish be-
yond the city's borders are hotbeds of
desperate crime. Not to close those pes
tlential places and keep them closed is to
give free hand to thieves and murderers.
The police OF Chicago have no jurisdic-
ton in Cicero but the sheriff and the
states attorney OF Cook county have am

to time. Doubtless he knows his cate
chism we'll. Likewise he seems TO know
what to do and where to so and whom
to see when Justice shows a disposition to
stflen her spinal column. He can say
the magic word. He has the formula for
a charm which never fails to bring pro
lection" and his anonymous, but not un-
guessed, associate is similarly equipped.
We have much faith in the mayor. Our
belief i'll Chief Collins is not weak
cned by the attacks that are being made
upon him. The states attorney has told
rs on the billboards of his surprising
courage. He has pictured himself in the
public prints in fighting pose.
Surely now is the time to justify faith
and demonstrate courage.
Why waste energy on the little fellows
while the big fellows strut, known but
immune?
Is there protection" which halts these
champions OF the law. If so, who bids
them keep hands off? And why need
they obey? By what bond of obligation
are they subscrvient?
Crime conferences are not the need of
the hour, but resolute action which will
teach the masters of crime that the law
is not to be bought or sold, cajoled or
threatened; action which will teach the
protectors of the criminal be they who or
what they may, that the law is not their
prostitute.

FIGHTS AND DRINKS
TABOO ELECTION DAY
(Lincoln Courier

One OF the remarkable things about the
election yesterday was the scarcity of
DRINKS. There have been few elections
where the inebriates could not be seen
holding up the corner OF an alley building
or webbing along the streets, but yester-
day it was different.
What made the difference is something
else.
One thing sure is that the average chap
yesterday bent on electing his candidate
did not have much time to get drunk and
a jag would haze had a hard job getting
through the streets without getting
Knocked over by an election car, or mark
ing ticket after he got in his booth at
the polls.
There was an unusual number of au-
tomobiles out hauling voters or at least,
at the service of voters yesterday. and an
inebrate trying to slowly pick his way
over crossing yesterday would have
been out of luck for he had a better
chance of visiting the Great Hereafter
thas he did of staying in this mundane
sphere.
A poll made at the city hall Wednes-
day morning with the chief of police MAX
ing the poll, showed that there was not
single man in the lookup. There was no
report of fight. The fighting whisky
