In a recent address in Boston Anthony
Comstock said in regard to his crusade
against obscene literature:
In 1873 we besought Congress to shut
the mails to this evil, and it was done.
In 1873 the legislature of the State of
New York was asked to pass law, pro
hibiting the publication and sale of this
matter. and it was done. The next thing
was to enforce these laws. When
we commenced we could not Sc
cure conviction against the most
arrant villain. There was not public
sentiment enough to sustain nc in arrest
ing men for dealing Ill the grossest mat
ter. But what has been done? In 1873
there were published 165 different books,
thousands and thousands of photographs
were scattered broadcast. Men and
women made business of collecting the
names of boys and girls, taking the cata-
logues of schools and seininarics, and
from these catalogues writing out lists of
the names ofthe children, and sending to
VAClIS uhNlAOMu " l'tIISllo ulSl CClCuCISs
the most infamous matters of corruption.
What has been accomplished since 1873?
By the providence of God we have been
permitted to seize the plates for printing
1913 of the 165 books. Since 1873, thirty
six other books have been published in
this country, and we haye been permit
ted by the same providence to seize the
plates of all the thirty-six. Thirty-fve
thousand seven hundred and sevcnty-six
pounds of books and letter press, $3.50
pounds of plates and cngravings for print
ing these books, $50 steel and copper
plates for illustrating these books, over
500 electro and wood-cut plates haye
been seized and destroyed. There have
been gathered up 230,955 pictures, 1902
444 circulars and leaflets have been de-
stroyed. and we have seized in the hands
of the vendors Of these iniquitles 9S2,O1O
names which they use as matter of
merchandise, selling the lists among
themselves i'll order to forward secretly
to these names the advertisements and
circulars of this accursed matter.
