Be t Cross.
The people of our large cities
are themselves principally re-
sponsible for the wave of crime
against which they are now
protesting so vigerously.
Their chickens are coming
home to roost.
When respectable and law
abiding people are too engross-
ed in their private affairs to
take the time to nominate and
elect their best men to office
they are betraying themselves
and others of their kind.
The gang element represents
only a small proportion of the
voting population of any city,
yet year after year they suc-
ceed in electing men to public
jflice who are willing to take
secret orders from the tinder
world.
Why?
Because rascality is organiz-
ed. Respectability is not.
Rascality gets out and rounds
up every available vote at an
election. Respectability waits
for some one else to do it.
The results is a foregone con-
clusion.
The bad man does not flou-
rish in the small town or rural
community. Such places are
not conducive to his health, or
his liberty, or his life.
The average country jury
has a habit of administering a
fair degree of justice in its ver-
dicts—and justice is the last
thing a gangster wants.
Then, too, the citizens of the
smaller communities are in the
habit of t letting public officials
who are not afraid to enforce
the law, men who do not con-
sider politics and votes first, last
and in between.
Respectable people who art?
lazy, indifferent or greedy to
elect their best men to office
should refrain from making a ' lamont.
big noise when the gang gets J
control.
There are few things that |
stimulate a greater interest In
town improvement than to have
large numbers of citizens at-
tending every meeting of the
city council, or town board.
It gingers up the members of
the board, for when they know
the eyes of their constituents
are upon them at every meeting
they will put forth greater ef-
forts to make good in their un-
dertakings. It becomes a mat-
ter of pride with them to meas-
ure up to public expectations.
It keeps the people posted as
to what is being considered for
the town, and this knowledge in-
creases the common interest.
It brings out new ideas for
the board to consider, for when-
ever a people are deeply inter-
ested in a subject they will con-
sider and discuss it from every
angle, thereby disclosing its
weak points and emphasizing
good ones.
It is an interest stimulator
and a progress breeder any way
you take it.
Get the people out to the
board meetings and let 'em talk.
