(From a stan Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 25.-(Speclal)-Ths
regular Sunday afternoon meeting OF the
Red Ribbon club Of this city, a temperance
organization, was %enlivened yesterday by q
vigorous discussion regarding remarks re-
ported to have been made by Chancellor
Andrews in the course Of an address. at the
Chicago university on the subject CT the
social evil. s. d. Fitchie read an excerpt
from the Chicago Voice, purporting to be a
part Of a verbatim report Of one Of the
chaneellor's speeches. The reading brought
out a storm Of indignation and q few mem
bers advocated the immediate passage Of
resolutions Of condemnation. The more con-
servative element prevailed. however, and
q committee was appointed to investigate
the authenticity OF the report. This COM
mittee consists Of s. D. Fitchie. @. c. Small
and Miss Hanna ID. Ward.
The excerpt read by Mr.. Fitchie follows:
In Paris the social vice is regulated by
the government, which requires that all
objectionable women be brought before an
this hoaid as 20 their physical soundness
and given certificates. Women not having
these certificates are imprisoned, The gov
rnmen lays down certain laws In Paris
and the result Is that the evil OF the social
vice Is made less than Il Is in cities and
countries where this regulation system does

that this method of government regulat ion
implies recognition and a Kind Of Legal
wicked world to the level of a legitimate
profession and tends to make It a kind OF
honorable occupation. The people who have
framed such laws had no Intention OF
legalizing social vice, and l am sure tina
they do not do II. They see that they car
palliate the evil in this manner. The com.
plete eradication OF the social vice evil vii
require years and years OF gradual growth
and morally and until this
auves.
To a large extent the state is under m

vice and appointing boards which shall 500

the level OF an industry.
