It would hardly be argued that a suspected murderer should be hired to murder, or a burglar to break into another bank, or a pickpocket to filch another purse in order that suspicion might be confirmed and a conviction had in criminal court. Much less can the creation or procuring of evidence be justitied when its object is not the punishment or the reform of law-breakers, but the collection of blackmail and protection money.

Their payment depended on ay Z great many persons—and the majority of them women—never take up the the number of victims they could add to the police pay-roll. The object, was not to drive these women out of business or to secure their convic- tion but to force them to divide their profits. From that beginning has grown a definite system of women slavery | and masculine blackmail.

Whatever men are caught are sorted out for black- mail purposes. They are searched in order to find out their real names from any letters or papers in their pockets. For the women there is an elaborate scale of payments. For $25 the patrol wagon will not be summoned. For $100 the proprietress will be entered as an inmate. For a larger payment the proprietress will not search, but are content to be feeble echoes of other selyes—fathers, brothers, husbands, or even of Mrs. Grundy, as the case may be. If of every book she reads, every play she attends, every opinion she hears expressed, an intelligent girl asks herself this single question—not what does mother think. or Jack think. not what she has heard or read, or what other people expect her to think—out “What do I think of this?” she will be apt to make the acquaintance of a new and charmingly original person—herself.
