How a Saloon-Ridden City Protects Its Homes.

The 1916 budget of the city of ( liicago is $27,134,791. Of this the largest single item is the appropriation tor (he police department. The sum voted for police protection is ••■7,323, SS 3 , more than don hie the a mount for any other corporate purpoke. Vet the mothers of Chicago are having to take np the fight against the cabarets and drinking 1 laces whose flagrant defiance of civil and moral law has aroused public indigatioh. The Chicago lier--aLI tells how *"«»(• courageous women. tired of waiting, for official action that never came, ripped the mask from Chicago’s vice” on a recent alter midnight investigating tour. And these women were no; of those classed by the vice interest's as “fanatical reformers.” They were wives of aldermen, women of the civic leagues, high school teachers, members of the Women's Church Federation. The mothers and fathers of the boys and girls these vice resorts are bidding for, and other law-abiding citizens think it an outrage that women have to go out and do police work for the protection of their children” when the city appropriates over seven millions for that work and has more than 4,000 policemen on its pay roll. All of which sentiment will make it easier to vote Chicago dry when the question is submitted to a referendum of its men and women people.
