THE CITIZENS LEAGUE
K . "
; Editor Intelligencer:
I cannot refuse your request' to
write something in favor Of tho organ- j
izatipn o? a league of citizens to co-]
uyerate with thc city ami county I
legal authorities In (he enforcement of
law and order, although quito busy
and therefore uuuhlo to go carefully
into detallo at this time.
I see so clearly tho wonderful work
that can be accomplished that I must
at, least'point out a few things that'
can bo done through such au organi
sation If managed wisely and in rea!,
earnest. .
If you will think for a moment, you
wilt agree that ?he law as now ad
ministered ts but a crude instrument
of doubtful efficiency in tho protection
of society. Cities aro prohibited from,
inflicting.in execess of a $100 Ano or
30 dnys imprisonment in each caso
and every offender huB his choice be
: tween the Are and imprisonment. This
is the only punishing weapon Ander
' son has today, thc only rod the city
can use to correct the wayward and in
corrigible.
Then wo know that punishment is;
not always effective. That some child
ren aro not kept in the right way no.
; matter how severely you lay on the
rod. This in true of offenders against
, our laws and yet under the present'
. system those of us who are fighting
;v'- hard : tb rem?mbor that off enders
against the law are human beings as,
? well as Inw-breakers, that they.ore all'
somebody's sons arid somebody's child
ren, nnd'that we have no adequate
way : to, give thom "another chanco?",
I to try our kindness, probation.'and,
1 othor methods dictated by our con
sciences and religious teachings? ? ;
ar.;-- ,.W$... need ' ' vol tip toe r probation ?ffl-;
ri-cors, ,We need tho man who will como;
jg forward - ahd take the responsibility'
&/of looking;after :a human being who,
- professes ropontuhco. The bi? bus!-'
i ness man,: tho bankor- the merchant,
P. tho .lawyer, who will accept tho uuperv
.. vising care bf a boy who moy now be

j tho y?arM 't?^c^m.? probably^ c?st' yena
I/tim? and perhaps tho destrncr^
tion of'your' boy an dm|ne, through
hin operatfbns as a',blind*tlgei4,/ bind
a "professional lawrbfeakor." .
Did Myers start no a blind tinier?
What waa he as a toy? Who'helped
, te'''straighten'hun out?" Whtt coin
' inanity t?ld. ita duty hy him'or failed
to do its duty?
. Mr- Cotton Mill President, Mr..
: Banker,. Mr. Merchant, Mr.!-}Profes-,
. si?ngf.Man (to Uso the excellent fl?uro>
\ of: personification so. effectively util-,
?.; Ized by The Intelligencer) what, do ;
R yoa know'or did you know about yo't?r*
city crlmlfml court /before this cr?/?,
|( sad oby gani ... .'/.-'.*'>'..<.
Dd; you: know, that hoya "in their,/
KtcenB ./aro brought there practically.<
bovary week and that your thoughtful,-.
i The People
able and Christian Recorder and your ?
imperfect but willing city attorney
are groping In the shadows for ways
and means to save them! What are
we to do with them? "Give them hell",
ns one thoughtless cl?lzen suggested.
Experience teaches thai with boys at ;
iv?a!tt. mid frequently with men, the
hell of convict stripes usually results
in a worse boy and more trouble
through him for thc community, for
yon and mo, for your children and
mine. Prevention is now the dominant
effort of medical science and lt is tho
best weapon in this community to
heep your city "cleo?'^ and to minim
izo thc temptations for your sons and I
(laughters.
Who wore Myers' most profitable
patrons? Boys or young men who by
birth and business standing had or
could get money to spend In his
"hole."
Myers han gone and that particu
lar evil placo closed for a time but
are there no others, now mero boya,
who will take Myers' place unless we
do something effective, unless we per
sistently, habitually and intelligently
Uso our money, our time and our
brains to proven! tho growth and de
velopment of those mero boys Into
dangerous mon like Myers! I
What han this to do with a citizens
organization, you ask. This is tbo
vital, fundamental work for such an |
organization and if wo fail to do it '
wo aro partly and greatly responsible
foi' every evil that exists herc in fu
ture, j
I have a photograph of a boy in my
desk whore. I am now writing and
when I look at lt., and seo thu pride
and hope in this boy's eyes and then
think and remember him as he was in
our city about a. year ago-a dirty,
hopeless tramp, at eighteen, with tho
brand'of the convict upon him,' com
ing to mo in rags because I gave him
a littles human sympathy, because I sat
upon a dirty blanket in his cell ; and ?
talked to him and then look him ont i
without other bond than "his word of j
honor" to como to see me at my office,
when I remember that he came, when ,
I remember how tho community in a
souBo turned its back upon him, when
I remember the pitiful hurt in hin
dog-like, eyes when' a busy, thought
loss man refused him work with the
.brutal remark: We.havo enough dam
ped convicta hore now," when ? re
member how I could get no help from ;
his father, himself a drunkard, when
I remember when it seemed ho must
drift hack to the old ways and there
Avar* no way out tor him and God Al
mighty pointed out a way through tho
discipline of the .United States Army,
?when I romembor these things, men
women und children of my city, do
.you wonder that 1 long to ponr out j
my heart to my people, to my city, to
my. friends and that I now cry out for
.tho wonderful holp, tho wonderful aid
of your time, your money, your splen
did brains and exhauatloss sympathy?
''. This ia tho hour for a great awaken
lng, thc hour to bury petty differences
of opln<on UH to incthodB and means,
the hour (o sacrifice Individual prlrl*
lege.?* for tho common good, tho hour
for extremists and llbcraliats to meet
on a common plane without bitter
ness but with the determination that
eaci> man or woman will make a sac
rifice of privilege, If not of principle,
in order that the community at largo
bo permanently bettered In things
that, count most for real prosperity
and happiness.
Thoro are other things such an or
ganization can do now. For example,
the hanks of tho city can and 1 believe
they will, aid us in breaking up the,
traffic in liquors by refusing to handle
liquor drafts to well known "blind
tigers." Ono of them han already vol
untarily stopped handling suci drafts.
The railroads of the city, tho express
company, cnn be of great assistance
and I believe will be if the matter Is
properly presented to them.
Such things as a citizens organiza
tion can handle much moro effectively
than city authorities who are burden
ed with so many phases of the work.
No matter bow vigilant tho city ad
ministration, however determined,
persistent and effective in the execu
tion of laws, thoro is always an Im
mense work tor the citizens at large.
Without such co-operation permanent
results aro impossible anywhere.
I apologize most humbly for this
long communication, but I couldn't
Btop. very truly*
