Bauer's advocacy of commer. ctalized vice is a sad reflection upon his own worth, an ineult to Christian people, whether churchgoers or not, an affront to churchly organizations which are suppored to at least ob. serve the ten commandments, and an unpleasant advertisement of his own town. In urging a segregated district he frankly ndvocates vice, for he knows quite well that such a district leads to more vice, more strongly en- | trenched, and that practically every | city in America has long ago found such a system utterly vicious and untenable and only by discarding such a concept have they been able to reduce such crimes.
