GENUINE REFORM.

The movement to investigate the
ownership of premises used for I'M
moral purposes and bring actions
against the owners is an fnstallment Of
real reform. This is putting the finger
upon the raw spot. The common pur-
suit Of the violator of the law, the ma
ture of whose business requires him
to have a fixed habitation, is like
hunting flea. If you drive him out
of one place he reappears in another,
and usually he is. either financially or
morally irresponsible or does not In
the least object to a small fine or a
short term of Imprisonment, when he
can again resume business a little
later on.
Meantime there lies back in a dark
corner the old spider that absorbs ell
the fattest portions Of the victims of
vice. Sometimes he is on the same
moral plane as his agents, but not un-
frequently he is a churchgoer and a
man prominent socially. He Is the
owner Of premises occupied for Illegal
purposes. He pretends not to know
about 1t. He puts his property in the
hands of some agent who deals with
the lawbTeakers. The agent knows
perfectly wen what he is doing, and
exacts rentals out Of all proportion to
the market rate or the value OF the
property. The owner is supposed not
to. know, when these profits are turned
over to him. why he gets such figures;
supposed not to know what is done
with his own property, but piously re-
fers everybody to the agent and exaIts
his own ignorance.
Now this is the guilty man. It Is
every mans business to know what
use is made of his property. In ninety
nine cases out of a hundred he does
know perfectly we'll. In the hundredth
he ought to be punished for not kn&h
Ing. Surely If man had a vicious
dog about his premises he would be
held responsible If it injured his neigh
Dor. How can he go clear If vicious
men and women are housed and shell
tered by him to prey upon the morals
Of the community? Get after the own
ers of property used for Immoral pur-
poses.
Vice is material and requires stand
ing room. The thief must have a fence
where he can dispose OF his stolen
goods. The Iawbreaker OF every de-
gree must possess some title to the
haunt where his operations can. be car
ried on. Bar them from occupation
OF premises and You put them out of
business. 1t is the rarest thing in the
world for them to owp their own shell

30 CAPTAINS, my cApTA,NtD

Owen Wister, the writer, breaches in
the last issue of the Saturday Evening
Post a most pertinent Memorial day
sermon. The subject of it is Heroes" /
and they who can read it without a
sense Of shame and without a firm
purpose Of amendment must be classed
with those whose souls are dead; who,
while living in it, have never claimed
Six years ago." says Mr.. Wister, "our
country sent to war her ships and her
battalions. In a short while from land
and sea came great news, and the
names Of Santiago, San Juan and Ma
Mia were acclaimed from Sandy Hook
to the Golden Gate. When our cap
tains came home the nation rose to
meet them, we stretched our hands to
them, we gloried in them, and drums
and trumpets sang In our streets"
And he asks, From that band OF
sailors and soldiers, what figure today
is left unspattered with the mud of our
abuse? One has been jeered from our
esteem; another has been hastened by
envious factions to an unhappy grave;
all have been assaiIed"
The ingratftude of republics Is pro-
verbal, but Americans prefer to be-
Heve that their own nation provides
the exception which proves the rule.
The most partial, however, cannot get
away from Mr.. Wisters arrafgnment;
for the shortest memories can find no
difficulty in reviewing the past six
years, and such a review cannot en-
courage them In the belief that we are
not as other republics. In the ready
abandonment of our idols, at least, we
are fatally like those that have gone
before. Whose is the fault?" asks Mr..
Wlster. care our heroes sham, or are
we disloya1? One OF these alternatives
we must perforce accept. 1t will not
suffice to explain that such a man Of
Tended us so. and another SO; we have
flung abuse at them all. Have we no
faults ourselves7 Did they not win
the battles?"
The pity OF 1t is that when "the
shouting and the tumuIt cease" and
the men who have Ioonaed big in the
smoke Of battle emerge from It and
reveal themselves as other men, the
pitiless public resents the revelation.
1t permits unpleasant personal traits
to eclipse great personal qualities. 'Tt
is bad to be a man without a country"
says the writer of the sermon, "but a
country without q man Is worse: and
that is what we seem to want to be. If
we are to be judged by our treatment
Of the captains"
And so he suggests that the an
preaching Memorial day be devoted as
much to consideration of the living as
of the dead. Let us make much Of
Memorial day, not, indeed, to keep old
feuds awake, but because 1t teaches
us to value heroes. Our observance Of
1t makes hopeful answer to the tale
of the captains. 1t proves our hearts
can reverence the dead at least. Let
us also learn to respect the living:
some Of them are better than we are"
This nation has never refused to honor
and has never forgotten the CAPTAINS
who lay bleeding on the deck after
some fearful trip was done. But every
man and woman can with profit take
to heart this plea for kinder memories
for the living, for those who brought
the ship in safely, without harm to
themselves. The living as well as the
dead are deserving Of a Memorial dav.
