TUESDA Y, JULY 23, 1912. MEN AND RELIGION BULLETIN NO. 8. “The Houses In Our Midst” ason, taw and Experience Demand Their Suppression. Thirty-three Reasons for Hurried Readier NOTE! First: Future inmates must come from homes in our midst REASON t t - Trea | ie ® ] between civilize d nations prevent the impor- United States statutes forbid their being brought from '■ other states. iiamC ' ' Fuscor, on trial for keeping house at Hartford, Conr nllMr =-• stated that Federal authorities made the securing of girls in 11VLUV, ■ New York for use in Hartford impossible, but could obtain all necessary in Connecticut. Second: From them deadly and malignant germs go to the inno cent. HP AI TH Within twelve months thirteen suffering litttle girls un- 11EAL 1 Ilj der ten years of age in Grady hospital bear witness. Third: To confine them in one locality is impossible. The experience of'all cities attempting this proves it a failure. p/v|\ Fourth: Segregation, or the pretense of confining them in one district, enriches the few, disgraces all, and fails. * Atlanta’s experience proves this. Fifth: Their existence causes political corruption. Every city where the evil has been thoroughly and hon- TME I AYV estly investigated confirms this. IHE LAW« Sixth: The houses in our midst can not be reconciled with the Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God. A man need think only of his sister or daughter. UNDERSTAND! I PAVTNII First: Our Mayor’s oath is, “I will, to the utmost of my ability. LEA V 11*11 discharge the duties of Mayor.” Second: The charter provides, “He shall see that all laws and ordinances of the city are faithfully executed.” Third: An ordinance specifies a duty of the chief of police to he OFFICI AH < to P revent tbe commission of crime and arrest offenders.” VI 1 IvIALtJ Fourth: Another provides that the “detectives” shall abate such places as the houses. Fifth: An ordinance declares that “any owner or agent of owner who may rent or cause to be rented” these houses shall, upon H7ITHAITT conviction before the Recorder, be both fined and imprisoned, nil HvU 1 Sixth: “Any owner or agent of such owmer” permitting inmates to continue in the houses for two days after warning by the chief of police shall, upon conviction before the recorder, be fined and imprisoned. CYPUCC Seventh: An owner permitting inmates to remain two days after EAvLJijE? character of house determined by recorder subject to fine and imprisonment. Eighth: “Circumstances from which it may be reasonably in ferred that a house” is one of the houses in our midst is suf- I MD ficient evidence. Al’V Ninth: The Chief of Police has authority to eject inmates after the character of the house has been determined. Tenth: The Supreme Court of Virginia, in sustaining the removal from office of the Mayor of Roanoke, Va., for encouraging TUC 17VDCDTEMPC an d a segregated district in Roanoke, said: ‘ ‘ Ours 1 Ofc LAi EKILai vE is a government of laws, not of men. No officer may substi tute his discretion in the place of the law, which alone ex presses the will and policy of our State.” —Culchin vs. Roan oke, 74 S. E. R. 403. nr REMEMBER! VI First: Atlanta’s Mayor and Chief of Police are not corrupt. Seattle could get no relief from a segregated district until the removal of its mayor and chief of police. This city will get relief as soon as our Mayor and Chief /’iTirC’ P°li ce are convinced of the wisdom and justice of the de- L| 11L \ mand for the suppression of these houses. ’ Second: Seattle, after getting rid of Gill, its mayor, by recall, closed its Segregated District. 1,000 women left the city. 2,000 men, over 500 of whom w T ere living upon the women, MAT went with them. L’V 1 Promoters of vice left without waiting for prosecution. Third: Minneapolis has abolished the Red Light District and re ports conditions improved. Fourth: Los Angeles also. EAI I V Fifth: Salt Lake likewise has adopted a policy of suppression. | ULLi, Sixth: Des Moines’ Mayor Hanna says: “It is claimed by those favoring segregation that, the women scatter through the res idence section, but this is not true in this city. Des Moines is in a great deal better condition today than in the days of MAT segregation.” 11 V 1 Seventh : The Attorney General of lowa, in which state it is said there is no open house of prostitution, says: “The good—in cleaner towns and cities, in money saved ‘ to the needy, in boys and girls turned from the haunts of vice FANATIC ISM ’ ba^s virtue, in making sober husbands and fathers, 1 rllv .11 VUHi, . j n ma ki n g homes happy and inspiring respect for law and order—is so immeasurably great that no matter what may come to us in future, we will never cease being grateful.” __ . Eighth: Fall River Police Board says of suppression: IiIAKe “Excellent results have been obtained—any department that is honest and alert can keep such houses out of its ter ritory.” Ninth: Lincoln’s Mayor says: IMCVIT A DI C “We do not have so much trouble with this vice in blocks DtVll ADLL • U, an( l rooming houses as we had when we had a segregated district. I" ' “We do not find it a difficult matter to keep notorious characters out of the city entirely—we unqualifiedly recoin- THE ment the policy of suppression.” 111E Tenth : Hartford, Conn., has adopted a policy of suppression. Eleventh: Bridgeport also. Twelfth: Mayor Lunn, of Schenectady, N. Y., denounces segre gation. CLOSING Thirteenth: Mayor O’Neil, of Utica, N. Y., declares against seg- Fourteenth: The Mayors of the cities of New York, by resolution at their third annual conference, pledged themselves to fight . the social evil. AP Fifteenth: In Baltimore six houses had been closed through pros- v ecution of the owners. Fifty were being tried, and Twenty-five had been scared into getting rid of their ton rrijp an ts and offering their houses for sale at the time this infor- [||r mation was obtained. Sixteenth: Boston, a center of 1,500,000 people, pursues a policy of suppression. Seventeenth: Chicago’s Vice Commission, in recommending a pol- HAIIQEC su PP ression For that city of millions, said; nULdEu “It is a man and not a woman problem. ; “Commercialized by man. “Supported by man. I vj “ The supply of Fresh Victims furnished by men who have jP| lost that fine instinct of chivalry and that splendid honor for womanhood, where “The defense of a woman’s purity is truly the occasion Ofor a valiant fight. ’ ’ THOSE THIRTEEN LITTLE GIRLS UNDER TEN IN GRADY HOSPITAL; THE LEGAL SIMPLICITY OF CLOSING THE HOUSES; THAT IT IS PURELY A MAN’S PROBLEM.
