Published Co. Press Publishing United The Star Member of Daily by “H ” elping Business Mr. Business Man, thig is for you You will recall that Hi Gill was elected mayor of Seattle on an “open town” platform because it was believed that an “open town" would “help business.’ Now, just a moment. The “open town” administration has helped business. It has helped the business of dives, saloons, dance hall resorts inythe re stricted district. It has helped the business of crooks, sure-thing s, gambling joints and disreputab men, white slavers and gratters Let us ask you just one pertinent question HAS IT HELPED YOUR BUSINESS? There is, Mr, Business Man, ho such thing as “helping bus eeeeeeeeeeee iness” in that fashion, When there are plenty of chances for men to throw away their money in ror lives and gambling joints, it diminishes your profits, Mr. Business Man A man who steps into a convenient game to “take a chance with a few dollars is less liable to buy that pair of shoes or that suit of clothes. The easy to blow In a few dollars buying drinks for painted w a low cafe is} less liable to take home th groceries. These are facts, Mr. B Man x You may have heard that an “open town” administration Would be a fine thing for the tourist trade, that more people would come to Seattle, that more would stop off here while en route to some other place. And that they would spend money That's all true. But when people are attracted to a city by its “open town” allurements, do they spend much of that money with you, Mr. Business Man? Not on your life! And who are the majority of people who are Seattle because it’s “wi Are they horns, con sure-thing w white others of their kind? We th they are | Do they help your business Not much! They flock to gether. They spend their money with each other, They come dnly to skin suckers. | And speaking of “hurting the town,” too, Mr. Business Man, which is the cry made against this newspaper and other agencies that want a decent, clean city, who is it that’s really} hurting the town and giving it a bad name abroad The answer is this The dives, the saloons of low breed, the gambling joints, the crooks, the grafters, the white slavers and all their supporters big and little. man who finds it very } en in siness attracted to] mblers, tin} Jers and} not g lave a men We-—that is you, Mr. Business Man, and the rest of us who /|* believing that Seattle want a clean city—are not deluded into can be a city free from all forms of vic evil All we ask, and intend to have, is a DECENT city that is not flagrantly and loudly proclaiming to all the rest of this country, “Come on; everything goes here We ask you again Has Hi Gill helped your b Has the “open town” helpe Have the crooks and gambl your business?
