the acts of the Liberal oDlcialB ho would be called a liar for all time to come The Tribune February 1590 said editorially edi-torially that A campaign cry tbatls not made in good faith is always a boomoraag a party that will not redeem its pledges is a fraud and a delusion Let me measure Mr Goodwino veracity and the worth of the Liberal party by their own standards and then I ask every voter who has no hand on the Liberal machine to learn and repeat these lines when discussing S discus-sing the Liberal party Their friendship is a lurking snaro Their honor but an idle breath Their smile the smile that traitors wear Their love is hate their life Is death The Tribune said January 16 1800 We expect the marshalship under Mr Youngs direction will amount to a revolution for I good Mr Young said February 01890 I promise a better regime under Liberal rule than ever was possible under Mormon rule See Tribune next day Tho Liberal platform said We pledge ourselves to peace quiet and good order A week or two after the election the houses of gilt frame were raided and four frail females were fined The Tribune had an editorial on the matter to show what this meant for good morals Before the end of the year however all these promises had been forgotten and so intolerable had the infamy become that AX INDIGNATION MEETING was held in a church by a considerable number of religious Liberals agaiust the powers that tolerated it The meeting however fell into the hands of politicians who were pining for free speech 1 and they partially strangled the indignation I know those same people have forgotten their righteous indignation so I want to refresh re-fresh their memories with a few choice figures pertaining to the citys morals and its nolice The following information on gambling houses must be of interest to Dr Iliff and others so I ask space in THE HERALD to republish it here Speaking of Festive Sports the Tribune Trib-une says August 12 1S91 Well that Is the story

kid-ney worked the racket oa Main street almost under the nose of a bluecoat but in the absence of orders tho lowly minion of the law could do nothing Speaking ol Main street reminds the Heard on the Sly man that two surething establishments arc sad to be running in full blast on that thoroughfare thus increasing the number of joints to live 5 These gontry travel in droves cir There is nothing strange about these yarns They are founded on facts They cannot be successfully refuted J It is also raid that several Chinese dens in Commercial street and Plum alley are nightly frequented by those who find delight in hitting the pipe among them being a number of the gentler sex who aro abject slaves of the extract ex-tract of the poppy Tribune August 1571 The bunko boys are not tho only ones who openly violate the law The square gambling houses are supposed to turn up the box at midnight Saturday nights Orders have been issued to them that this should be done but tho fact remains that yea terdaymorningjust as old Sol smiled down I upon the good people of Zion seventysix weary gamblers emerged from one house on Main street and over forty from another oa East Second South street S Tribune September 5 1S91 I also saw a man yesterday whose position is such as to bring him 5 whole lot of information on this subject Be said that gamblers have admitted to him that certain men on the police force regularly come to them for a loan which is never repaid re-paid and is never expected to be Then some of them give up 25 per cent of the business to the cops Others pay 25 per week This Is for the regular business For running niter midnight Saturday nights they pay an additional 1 addi-tional dollars per quarter Can those stories bo true Well they come from policemen and from business men whose word Is unassailable No official Investigation is needed to determine the existence of that which stinks under our nostrils every hour of the day and night S S Trllme August 15 IS91It Is time to call n halt when the lairs arc advertised by flaunting signs when the windows of the hells are kept wide open in order to attract tho unwary sucker and when steerers throng the streets In search of gulls Tribune August ro lSIIIIn the meantime the bunco joints are running wide open unsophisticated unsophis-ticated strangers are robbed and tho goose o the steerer hangs high I p s The sleuths sleep on If you are not blind to your surroundings I you know that John M Young can call anywhere any-where from seventyfive to 150 nymphs from THE HOUSES OF GILT TBiilE into the police headquarters on twenty minutes notice At the last annual raid or tax lovy there were called up sixtyfour in one subdivision and tho tax levied amounted to 18S5 Tribune August 7 1S9L 1SmDid Did it over occur to you that it must require re-quire a chief of police with an immense amount of ingenuity to arrest 1 sixty four of these sirens in a single night without running onto single devotee Have you ever contemplated tho largeness large-ness of heart exercised by our chief in this regard to avoid making it unsafe for patrons in these dims and thereby avoid decreasing the profit of this quiet Sand S-and goon order business 1 j As to prostitution the Tribune says September Sep-tember J891 As fur as I C Heard on the Sly man can as J certain there are prostitutes in this city who turn Into tho treasury each year 56500 In fines August 14 1S91 speaking of the police it saidWhen When It comes to raiding a house of Illfame or picking up a chippy from the pave they nro in it That is sometimes for it is on record that only about onehalf of the dovecotes pay tribute to the citytreasury S According to the Tribune there are fivo I 1 SCllETIIING JOINTS and the writer will undertake to point out about a dozen square places This makes a total of seventeen According to the Tribunes figures there were two gambling houses which together had 116 patrons who staid until morning It is only fair to as numb that twice as many wore in these same places during the night making a total of 318 frequenters of two gambling I houses in a single night or 174 for each I dare not guess as to how many persons during a single night could bo counted if all of the seventeen gambling houses were kept track of According to the Tribune 200 prostitutes pay tribute and onehalf aro exempt so there are 400 women of easy virtue in this city or one giddy girl for every fifteen fif-teen voters at the last election The Tribune may not always be truthful but when making admissions of broken promises against tho Liberal J party you may rest assured it does not exaggerate I noticed recently that orders had been issued to certain inhabitants of Franklin avenue commanding them to CHANGE THEIK WEARING APPAREL Tell me oh ye good Methodists who are so very very much opposed to church dIctation dic-tation and who so dictatorially resolved in convention assembled that the Liberal party i must not disband and ohl I my dear Presbyterian friends you who so vehemently ve-hemently oppose the union of church and state and on August 31 1891 resolved for the Bible in the public schools tell me truly has John M Young kept his pro miso of peace quiet and good order I Tell me does the chief of police take an oath of office Above all things toll mo which will you stick by the Liberal party or the church Do you belinvo that it is good morals to alow criminals to continue their crime so long as they wear garments pleasing to the eye of the chief Be these juggling fiends no more believed That palter with us in a double sense That keep the word of promise to our oar And break it to our hope Yours for Democracy and decency A P 5TrT |
