ONE business seems to be
- fiourishing in this city. I am
a member of lodge that has two
beautiful buildings on the north
/ side within six blocks of Washing
ton street. In going at night to
visit at these buildings, one is like
ly to be solicited, in any direction,
walking or pulling up to the curb
IN an auto, by street walker. Tt
is a disgrace the way these women
are permitted to be hanging around
and roaming the streets.
am travelling salesman and
visit all the large cities from New
York west to st. Louis, and in my
travels never have run into con-
ditions in any city that compare to
the soliciting here.
1t seems that the police depart
ment and courts would have de-
cency or interest enough in our city
TO clean up the street walkers.

TN reply to the letter signed "An-
Il other Times Reader" appearing
in your paper of Nov 10, I would
like to say that if this mans nerve
were converted into cash, he GER
tainly would not need charity.
Judging from his letter, he wants
to drive his automobile while the
trustee or school board furnishes
his family with food and clothing
If I thought for one moment that
the trustee, school board, or Com
munity Fund was furnishing food
and clothing to any one who drives
an automobile, I never would again
pay taxes or contribute to any char
liable organization.
Some time ago it was necessary
for me to sell my automobile SO
that my family could live without
charity. I have not called yet upon
any organization for help, although
I am not criticising any one for
doing so If it becomes necessary,
and he is worthy.
His children certainly are to be
pitied since he refuses to dispose
of his automobile so that they can
receive clothing and an education
"REGUSTED."

T AM glad to read how Mr.. Casey
i Jones feels about the children
who play in the 600 block on West
Washington street. If he likes it SO
well, why not have these children
come to his home each night? These
children all have homes, why not
play there?
And / must say I do not hate
children and if they are taught to
respect the police so much, why not
teach them respect for every one?
These children don't live in three or
four blocks of the 600 block, so why
play hereP
1 suppose Mr.. Jones feels that the
South Side Civic Club should keep
quiet and let the children do as
; they wish. Most of the people can't
sleep all day and stay up at night
the ones that work anyway.
SO, Mr.. Jones, try having the chill
dren come to your home each night
for year, see how you enjoy it, ano
let them do just like they do here
MRS. SULLIVAN.
n FADING The Times gives me
N more satisfaction in many
WAYS than our own local paper.
especially enjoy the you Say IT
column and always read that first
After reading the article written
by six Voters" my ire and in
dignation were aroused most de-
cidedly. Why call the eighteenth
amendment "hypocritical lawP"
There is nothing wrong with that
law. The hypocrisy lies at the door
of the people of the land. If We hao
more red-blooded American officials
and officers who respect the law as
much as their pocketbooks, this
country never could be in the mess
it is in today.
Place the blame where it belongs
If each person who pretends to be
dry actually had voted dry, Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Hoover botf
would have fallen far short Of the
number of votes they received.
When I was child going tt
school had to pass a saloon anc
the tunes 1 heard coming from thai
sinful, degrading Joint" were any
thing but pleasing to the ear. IL
rather have my children hear the
blatant loud-mouthed tunes of the
Anti-Saloon League, Methodist
Board Of Temperance and Morals
and other fanatically dry organiza-
tons. ONE DRY VOTER.
