S. llilbett, Eugene, llregon: IK-ar Sir: -From peisotial knowledge and from report I am warranted in aying Hint you have frt-ipif ntly. with in the past year, complained from your pulpit and elsew heie that the ordinati ct s of the city of l aigcne were not en forced nud at (he same time arraigned the clly otlbers w ilh being remi-s in oitli'ial iidiiiini-.lrati.iii. I have been c"iiiiccti d with the city government lor several years and have some know le.lge lespecting the enforce ment of Hie law s of the city. Perhaps I am as well infmuicl in that mutter as you or any gentleman not connected with the city In nit olllcial way. I will Dot, and presume no one else will claim, llial Hie administration of Un law is perfect In Eugene, but th) claim nud challenge proof to the contrary, thai the laws arc as well administered in Eugene it in any town in the state; and furt ue hat as good order is ob served on all occasions bet I y our ow n people ns Is ohscrvvd in any city in Oregon. I go further and sssert with - out fear il siicccsslul contradiction, that the ordinances of this city nit It-tier enforced than are tlie law s of l he state in any county ol Ibe state. Would it not be well for you lo turn your attention somewhat lo that greater need, the la tter enforcement oftbela(i laws, for how can we live In a stale whose law are not enforced to the letter. Hut back to the city; the police force is necessarily small ami the duties ot the police are limited and the force cannot do everything needful with reference to a rigid culonviiicnt of Un laws; they must have Hie aid and as sistance of the cltUen of Hie town. And right here 1 will inform you Ilia' any cltl.eii hits ft s rfect right lo liiake complaint and become prosecutor against any ollunder within the city, i'lds duty doe not la-long exclusively to the city olllclals, save In a very few enumerated cases; so there I no ex cuse forany Itl.en desiring the law enforced (like yourself) lo wait for, or in the mayor or any policeman, tml let him apH-ar before the proiier nftlecr and make complaint, anil If II ere Is a reasonable probability of a convlctiou the ease, w ill be entertained; and as city attorney I will use my la-st en deavor to make prosecution success rul. Now lr, It you know of a single vlo lationtifany city ordinance, 1 Invite you to make the fact known and put me and tho other clly ollht rs, whose blislnet It shall be to the test. You have done much talking, now won't you act Just once. Let mo remind you that any other citi.eti ha tho same right to talk that you have; and on the other hand I remind you that the ame duty rents on you to aid In the iiiitlnleliinnco of good government as rests on any other man In Hie city. In other wonls.lt I heller for you to us Hist tho oMcer In a practical way than lo occupy Hie time In faultfinding. Another thing I call your attention to. I huvo never heard you, or heard of you crediting the cily ofllcers w ilh the lailhful dist-hargn of a single duty, but their short coming, real or Imaginary, mostly imaginary, are constantly held up to the public gn.e. If space would permit I should take pleasure in pre senting at least a brief review of (lit enforcement of the iMtual ordinances id the city; but I have already written at greater length than I Intended w hen I commenced to address you. One thing however, I feel Hint I must mention: Within tho last few ytal, three house of ill funic, have been by the clly olll ceri completely broken up ami the In mates drlveu from town, ami several other Immoral women have been driven from another place and com- (H-lled to leav town. I have never heard you mention any of these things and the reason I mentioned KsH-clally is because lliat subject seems to be a hobby with you. Permit nn to say, during a residence of nearly nine years in this clly, there has not lieen a may or, recorder, marshal or city attorney, but what attempted talthfully to dis charge his ofllclal duties. The mayor, tlie chief olllcer of Hie cily, were all high minded, honorable olllclals, not dlflerlng In any materinl particular In olllcial admiuistiatlou. Here they are: F It Dunn, A (1 llo vey, J II Mi-Clung, H II Ft lend ly ami J I) Matlock. Your accusation against the government of the city, are in the main without foundation, and as com pared to other cllle without any foun dation In fact, and you are In a reck less mnnner disseminating false Im pression of our pisiplo, and thereby damaging every material ami moral interest of our cily. In conclusion I will say that I mil willing to ui'iet y.i i In any pi bll place In Eugene and Join Issue with you with respect to Hie tilings men tioned In this Utter. Very Hespect fully, E. It.
