Civic problems are occupying the attention OF the
Society for Political Study, and yesterday at p
m. they listened 10 Mrs. Anna Jackson's arraign-
ment OF police and law, in her carefully studied
paper on the suppression OF vice. Some laws. she
declared, tended to foster vice rather than pre-
vent it The fine system Is one OF this character
said Mrs. Jackson, "as the person fined IS seldom
the one who suffers His family the Victims
The speaker believed that the policemen are not
as much at fault the ystem many Of them
being kindhearted and capable of actual hero
ism in time of need. She spoke strongly against
the suggestion to segregate some forms OF vice,
claiming that where that method is used in foreign
countries 1t causes more evil than It prevents.
In the discussion that followed Miss America
Phillips said that II is time to break away
from party lines. Nothing be done until Tam
and abolish the bosses' she said.
Miss Theresa Barcalow thought that the solution
lies in womans efforts Liberty stands out in the
river with her hands tied" she added.
