- At present, says the St. Louis
Times, the most degrading influence
in the land is the pictorial press.
The dance cellar, or concert saloon,
or the pretentious houses Of pleasure,
with their vicious inmates, are not
half SO demoralizing in their ten
de ncies as the Illustrated Police Ga
zettes, Records and Journals. So
great is the demand for them that
they are multiplying on every hand.
The last month has added half
dozen to the number-not naming
Harper's Weekly and Frank Leslie's
Illustrated News, which endeavor to
keep pace with the prurient taste of
the public. Vice is fauntingly por-
trayed, with an abundance of letter
press illustration. Semi nude wo-
men, rlvallng Cleopatra III the volup-
tuous disposition of their forms, at
tract the eager gaze alike OF youth
and grey-bearded men. The seeds
of a riotous harvest of lasciviousness
and crime are being sown with an
unsparing hand, and our authorities
make no effort to prevent or eradicate
them, where a monkey is god,
what must be the priests Of a nationF
Where the production of such a
literature is the surest avenue to
wealth, what must be the standard
of morality?
