2tHE PEOPLES' FORUM?
Editor of Tho Cuiro Bulletin:
Aixmt three or lour weeks ago I
saw it stated in one of our Cairo
daily newspapors ' that the mayor of
our city had given instructions to the
chief of police lo enforce on Sundays
the closing of front doors and the
pulling down of tho curtains in all sa
loons in our city. I was inticu grail
lied at the statement of the order giv
en by the mayor and hoped to see
that some recognition of the Sabbath
day was to be enforced in our city in
stead of a general gala day as has
been the cane on Sundays for many
past months, in fact ever t-ince our
present mayor came Into power. The
fact is that many of tho saloons are
more open, if such a thing can be, on
Sundays and there Is a larger congre
gation of patrons in and about them
than on any other day of the wo-df,
and the conditions and language
heard on the sidewalks of our public
thoroughfares are indecent for our
citizens to witness and hear. If the
mayor of our city gave such instruc
tions us referred to aliove, they have
been llagrautly ignored, for during
the past three Sundays conditions
have been even worse than before
Does the mayor ever walk out on Sun
days, or have occasion to go from his
residence or place of business to our
tallroad stations? If he does, he can
not fail to witness the deplorable con
ditions that exist and what the re
spect aide people of our city have to
undergo when they unfortunately
have to travel on our public streets
on thetr way to the railroaj stationn
on Sundays. The writer has had to
do this, not only himself, but bis
wife and children aud the conditions
and laiiiingo would not bw aud are
not tolerated try uny other town or
city authorities, at leatt within ono
hundred miles of Cairo. No other
people in any of the towns or ciih-s
within the radius named would tol
erate ueh laxity of civic authority or
allow suck conditions to openly exi.-n.
I am of the opinion that the wort of
our r.nloon keepers In Cairo wuull
comply with the request; to close the
doors of their places of business,
draw dowii the curtains and prevent
the congregation of iiu-n on the
Ftreets in front of th'.-ir places of bus
inefj. If the city authorities would
enforce it on all saloons. I would like
to har the expression of oihur of our
ritizins on this subject and hope our
newspapers will grant i-pace in their
papers for such purpose.
The subject of first importance
now Is the vindicalfc'n of civic houer
by the overthrow of civic depravity.
It is well enough to display our vir
tues, but correction of public evils ia
the highest civic virtue.
