History
The Vice Bondage of a Great City; or, the Wickedest City in the World
Harland, Robert O.
Chicago (Ill.) -- Moral conditions; Prostitution -- Illinois -- Chicago
The story is concluded. The trail of graft has been followed from the
ballot box to the dive, from the dive to the house of prostitution, from
the house of prostitution to the gambling hole and on up to the houses of
those debased public men and people-appointed guardians of the law, who
are today weighted down with the gold, created by the melting of vice, sin
and crime in the melting pot of the underworld.
Chicago waits for salvation.
Who shall bring it the "tidings of great joy"?
Every father and mother, every man and woman, every youth and maiden.
As a mighty army let us go forth. As a mighty army, with God's armor upon
us, using all the means at our command, let us meet and conquer the
enemy.
With hearts thrilling with the horror of thousands of souls precipitated
to endless darkness, with souls full of divine charity for our brothers
and sisters, let us annihilate the Vice Trust and its minions.
Let the battle cry be--
The Universal Brotherhood, all for God and God for all.
In the place of dives let us have gardens; in the place of dens of infamy,
playgrounds for a growing generation.
The revelation has been made. Now is the time of expurgation.
From the Wickedest City in the World, Chicago may become through
persistent and systematic attack on its Vice Trust--
THE CITY BEAUTIFUL OF ALL NATIONS.
