In the first round Choynski caught Ma

Mr.. John A. Howard, OF the commit

wheeling is really the only town in
the state which can offer adequate ia

other town. to begin with, has a suit

think the state committee will vote the

However, over-conhdence should not

either convention. Both Huntington
and Parkcrsburg are making deter

gathering. and for the Republican con-
vention Parkersburg will also be

By "solOn," Who Quotes the Stand
Taken By the National Purity Con-
To the Editor of the Intslllgencer.
Sir: The regulation of the vice Of
prostitution by license and medical In
specuon has long ago been proved a
failure and is being abandoned where
ever tried. The advocate of ''regula-
ton" shows himself to be a back NUM-
Der.
1t is, however. subject on which the
general public needs to be informed,
for 1t is not merely illegal, but also a
conspicuous failure. The following
facts are largely culled from the Ehcy-
clopaedia Of Social Reform. 1t says:
probably no European official has ever
had more extended experience In the
administration OF the regulation sys-
TEN than Mr. Lecours. official head Of
the police des moeurs of Paris, and his
practical condemnation OF 1t is as sig
nificant as 1t is emphatic. In Berlin,
the German emperor himself being wit
ness, regulation is a most conspicuous
failure, Intensifying the evils Incident
to social vice. Indeed one Of the most
important influential movements Of
modern times in European countries is
the International Federation for the
Abolition of State Regulation of Vice,
of which the late Emile de Laveleye, Of
Belgium, was for several years the Of
fetal head. At the Genoa congress Of
this international federation Prof.
Stuart, NJ. p, of London, thus summar-
lied the progress of the European
movement for the abolition of the regu-
lation system: In England It is clean
gone altogether; in most of the English
colonies 1t Is gone; In India 1t is under
sentence of death; in Paris st IS in
ruins; in Italy we have gained a step
(there the compulsory examination and
registration OF women are abolished)i
in Holland repeal has been gained in
many towns, and In the whole country
the system totters wherever 1t is re-
tanned. In Sweden and Norway and
Denmark and Belgium the question is
before the parllaments OF each country,
and repeal is at last within measurable
distance"
The license system was enacted in St.
Louis in 1870 by legislative trick, but
was repealed by an Overwhelming vote
of the legislature in 1874. That is the
only city in the United States where
the regulation OF vice was adopted by
an act Of a state legislature. It proved
a dismal failure. A petition for Its re-
peal was signed by 1000 women Of St.
Louis. Tho archbishop and Catholic
clergy, nearly all OF the Protestant
clergy, a majority of the St. Louis bar
and many doctors were enlisted in the
cause Of repeal. Some OF the reasons
given for Its repaIl we're:
81. 1t confers the sanction Of law up
on the barbarous trade in women.
