BISHOP CLARK's STANDPOINT.

Bishop Clark's work in the movement
for the suppression of vice in this city
is probably attracting more attention
than that of any other clergyman at
present.
What he said recently in regard TO
property owners who rent houses to be
used for immoral purposes is a very
strong argument. Most people who own
real estate in Providence are supposed
to be more or less respectable. None of
the buildings used for such purposes
belong to the occupants. If a sentiment
could be created which would stop
owners from renting houses for evil
purposes the heavy part of the work of
moral reform would be accomplished.
Why not have a law which would put
such penalty on the owners as would
stop it? Ia most cases either owners
or agents know the character of the
occupants, and if they do not they would
find out rather than pay the penalty.
Another very pertinent question was
brought up by the Bishop last night
when he asked, "Why not have man
for mayor who is willing to serve!"
The NEWS, previous to the last city
election, took just that stand, and urged
the choice of live man who knew his
duty and would perform it, but ma
jority of the people who voted chose
rather to cast their ballots for man
who, although gentleman of the best
social standing, is notoriously at his ease
in the mayors Office.
If these people who are at the head of
the present agitation had seen tit to take
an interest in the election they might
have had, after the first of January, "a
man for mayor who is willing to serve. y
II is true that the mayor has not quite
as much authority as he might have,
but a strong, determined mayor could
have things his way, especially when
backed up by the sentiment which the
ministers are now trying to arouse.
Bishop Clark discusses the subject
from the right standpoint.
