The law prohibited the licensing of the social evil, yet it was licensed under the policy pursued by the municipal administration, and it was in support of the statutes of the state and the ordinances of the city that he was rais- g his voice on this occasion. He wanted it understood that he did not contend that men could be made righteous by law; on the contrary, he knew that this was.impossible, as the spirit of God acting in the hearts of men could alone accomplish that. The law does not seck to control the minds of men but to povern their actions, and thus as the champion of the law ho would speak of ctions and_their results, and not of the evangelization of the race. Objects of His Discourse. He supposed that it would be urged that if he was in earnest 1z au_attempt to do the fallen women of the city a lasting good he should go into the “burnt district” and preach to them, but ho wanted to say that he was doing but one thing at a time. Just now e was not vreaching to prostitutes, but to perjurcrs and those guilty of mal: feasance in oftice. He inveighed against the system of shut- ting the prostitutes off in a part of the city to themselves, and contended that it could not be successfully done even if such a thing was desirable. It could mo more be done than could the murderers be giv one part of the city, the thicves another, and so on with all the branches of crime. ‘It was ar- gued by vhe friends of the system vhat it protected the other portions of the city, but this wus not the real reason for the course that is being pursued in this matter. It is done in order to give the ofiiciary of the city a greater leverage in the way of bleeding these unfortunates, and the cifect has been to give this clags a power over the city gov- ernment that is appailing. It combines money power and infinence that can with aifficllty be withstood, and créates au aris- tocracy in crime. Some Wonderfut “Figgers." 1t does not even collect the unholy reve- nue from all the members of that unfor- tunate class, as the records for December show but 145 women who paid the monthly fine _for prostitution, when there are 3,000 public prostitutes in the city of Omaha. The speaker siid the latter figure was the esti- mate of one of the noble women in the city, who has for years been working to reclaim her fallen sister: He would admit that even if the ‘‘burnt district”” was abandoned and the members ot vhe demi-monde allowed tc scatter all over the city it might not lessen the evil, as the same passions and unchaste desires would burn in the hearts of men, but the officials would at least be doing their dury in trying to carry out the laws and suppress the ev and an” nonorable defeat would be a thou: sand times preferable to a dishonorable and disgraceful victory. Good Mayor Broatch Censured. The establishment of the burnt district by ex-Mayor Broatch was one of the foulest stains on the escutcheon of this great mo- tropolis, and its maiutenance wasa living shame to the community and a constant menace to the thousands of young men who come here to seek their fortunes. Its garish glare was a will-o'-the-wisp within the borders of that wicked district all those from outside the ity, from tho village and the farm, in whose thoughts, and once thore thoso desires found most damuable fruition. It was widely aavertised, and toward it imvariably gravitated the foot- steps of the young girl who had made her first mistalce, and who, but for that, might turn in another divection and be reclaimed berore 1t was everlastingly too late. “The owners of property in this part of the city were placed on the theological aridiron, turned three times over and roasted on both sides and ends. The speaker declared that if one of these men who rent houses to un- fortunate women as place for them to ply their nefavious calling was a member of his church he would not continue as ita pastor for two weelks, unless ‘that individual got out. He was more lost to all sense of de- ency and was further down the social scale than the depraved denizens of the quarter where stand _the buildings whoso rentals were adding rapidly to his wealth. How Scattering Would Al It was argued vhat the evil would bo less- ened if the prostitutes were scattered all over the city, as all decent people would then be up in'‘avms to drive them out when- over they settled near the homes of respeet- able families, and this constant harassing would have a tendency to drive this objec- tionable element out of the city. Iiven if it did not, the situation would be no worse than it is now, and there would not then remain the fact to be openly charged that the offi- cials sworn to support the law were deliber- ately and systematically violating their oaths, ‘I'he speaker paused frequently vlause, and sometimes was accorded sometimes not. ‘There was an_obvious fecl- ing of disappointment when he announced that he would be unable to repeat stories of experiences, and a_number of the zudience drifted out when thus satisfiea that their thirst for tho sensational was not be gratitiod adver arguard of dis- for ap- it and COURSE O] Kindly Criticism of a Steangor Answered by the Editor.

Piain Facts tn the Case. We cannot comprehend why we have no right to print an extract from the Forum re- lating to the waning powers of the pulpit, just because some preacher may imagine that the article is designed as a refloction upon him. Asamatterof fact if the shoo fits him he should wear it. The article in tho Forum was not inspired by usor any- body connected avith this paper. Wo cannot conceive either why you should consider comments which we have made about the “Omaha Parkhurst” unfair, cow- ardly or contemptible, We believe it to be the duty of a feariess and honest press to discountenance charlatanism and doma- gogy, whether on the rostrum, . the pu pitor in the doctor’s shop. Sensationalism in the pulpit is a species of theological quackery, and those who resort to such methods naturally lay themselves open to criticism. When a about thin women he the editor of charlatan, but and man will tall from the pulpit s that ave unfit for the ears of is surely not entitled to better treatment than would be accorded to an. body else who would do likewiso 1n a publ hatl. We concede that the motives of the would- bo Omaha Parkhurst may be just as good as are those of the New York Parkhurst, but we doubt very much whother he is contrib- uting to the elevation of public morals by his course. We rather anticipste that the outcome in his case will be, as 1t has been in nearly all similar instances, a split among his own congregation in the no distant fu- ture and_his iovoluntary retirement to an- other fiold. We do not as a rule make explanations to people who are not known to us, but we go out of our way this time merely because we presume you represont a class. Started n Church Row.

The cause is a ki mess festival which is to be held next week in the Episcopal church. of which Dr. Fidler is the rector. The affair was denounced from tho pulpits of several different churches today, the different divines declaring that the scandalous skirt dance and other ques- tionable capers of the ancients should not be tolerated in civilized soci least of all in chtreh society.

For this reason it is essentinl that the democratic majority should attond the sessions from tomorrow until the debate cioses, as it will be the o means of advancing the adoption of the tire measure.

The bill will first bo read by sections, under the special order, and thereafter be open to amendments in any part The d ttic members of the ways and means committee had o me this after noon to decide upon_the amendments to be offered.

Little democratic opposition to the has manifested itself during the gene bate, and the democratic members of committee express confidence that the will go ~through practically io an un- amended form. with the possible exception of ghe sugar schedule, On this proposition the commiittee itsclf is divided, those favor- ing an individual income tax supporting the free sugar proposition, and_the opponents of the income tax, led by Chairman Wilson, favoring sthe restoration of the sugar duty in order to do away with tie necessity for'an income tax. ‘The ereat dificulty in the way of modification of the bill in this particular, however, eveu if it should de- velop great strength ou the democratic side, is that the republicans will not vote to re- store a duty on sugar, which s placea on the free list by the McKinley law.
