Dyment Hits Back at the
Preachers
Phone Main 2543

Commissioner of Public Safety
Dyment scored the 81 Tao % m a
preachers Monday for their action
in denouncing him about prostitution
conditions on lower Broadway, Com
merce Street and Pacific Avenue.
Dyment says it is politics. The
preachers held meeting Sunday at
the First Presbyterian Church, C. w.
Weyer, pastor, and charged Tacoma
was wide open" and that Dyment
was incompetent" Several of the
preachers had been prowling around
at night in this district seeking what
they might find out about the women
infesting the region. They claim
several women accosted them and the
police standing around. The COM
missioner said he would not go to
the preachers meetings; if they
wanted to know or do anything or
had any information they should call
at his office and furnish him with
evidence. Just politics, that's all.
Early, but time to start something.
The Jail is filled with women now,
he said.
1t seems to us that this perennial
farce. Every two or three years,
generally at election time. someone
gets a notion to start war on vice
and lower Broadway and that dis
trict is in for lot of advertising.
This has been going on over 20 years.
1t has produced no results. Arrest
few of the small fry" put those
in Jail who have no money, while the
bigger ones skip out for few weeks
and then come right back again at
their old haunts-and the game goes
on just the same as ever. This has
been proved over and over again in
Tacoma, Seattle and Portland, and
perhaps every city on the Coast.
There is simply nothing to it.
When Jesus was here, He never
called for the police to arrest Mary
Magdalene and drive her out, nor
the other woman taken in adultery;
nor did He go running up to the city
hall of Jerusalem mixing into the
political situation. Vice conditions
in Jerusalem must have been serious
in His time, but He went after the
"big fish," the powers that exploited
the small fry" And His weapon
was moral force, and no policeman.
Mrs. S. J. Collins was reported
much better at this writing. She is
in care of Mrs. Ellen Kellum.
Miss Beth Pierre, who is visiting
with her Uncle and Aunt Tolliver,
of Yakima, is expecting to teach
eChol this winter.
Wednesday the fourth was a gala
day for those of our people who have
money invested in cars. Many of
them were seen on the roads in and
out of town filled with happy pas
sengers, picnics and outing parties
were numerous. Now wen begin to
get ready for old man Winter.
The German-American vote will be
against Hoover, in our opinion this
fall; there are nine millions of them
in this country, and it is safe bet
that they will regard Hoover as a
man to be kept out of the presiden-
tial chair on account of his treat
ment of the Germanic peoples in re-
gard to food while they were starv-
ing Just after the war. The Ameri-
can folks also, have a grudge against
him on account of starvation tactics.
