THE STORY IS CONCLUDED.
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.
