AIM OF ANTI-VICE CRUSADE.

New York, March civilian H..
Baldwin, Jr, chairman Of the anti-yice
committee Of fifteen, discussing the
work Of that committee before the civil
club last night, said that there was
not at present, nor would there be at
any time, any politics in the present
reform movement He said.
THE present movement is only the
answer to the most agonizing cry that
ever came from the poor, who are
striving to lead pure life and find it
impossible under present conditions.
Just as soon as we come TO the full
realization Of this deviltry that Is going
on and the awful conditions that exist
we will be ready to take this subject
In full earnest and never ston until our
city is clean aad a community that We
can justly be proud Of"
Mr. Baldwin spoke of the evil effects
Of vice when It invades the tenement.
He said there were $4,000 tenement
houses in the city. From ten to twenty
families live in each and there was in
each an average Of fifteen children.
And is it not time he asked. that
the traffic Of vice In the streets shah
cease? We cannot say that vice shall
stop, unfortunately, but we have the
right to demand that the atmosphere
we breathe be pure that houses be
clean and that the children of the poor
shall have chance to grow up in de-
cency."
