Editor Evening Democrat:
 The notoriously infamous dress suit case crime has called forth from Bos- ton clergymen of all denominations a vigorous protest against the evils brought to light in running down the murderers and during the subsequent trial. This Is as 1t should be. It is high time that the people of every community should rise up in their wrath against the nefarious practices of those men who degrade one of the noblest of professions to the basest of purposes and turn it against the pro- fessed object of saving life to the de- struction of life, too many times of the adult, as in the Boston case, and always of the innocent intra-interine child whose existence is throttled in the very spot which God aid nature intended to be the final cradle.
 It is, of course, the yeriest trinson to say that abortion is no modern crime but the sad feature Is that in modern times it is the product of our much boasted civilization in the sense that it's stringent appreciation is that of people who have profited to the full est extent by modern cultule-and re- finement and then, too, not in cover of shame like the Boston case but simply to arrest the natural obligation and duties of married life, apart from the cares

It is pre- eminently the crime of the educated and it is in our country In recent years the cry has gone up (and no- where more frequently than in cultur- ed Boston, that the native population is dying out. It surely is, but who has been responsible but those who have enjoyed to the fullest measure the culture and refinement procured for them through the thrift and in- dustry of their sturdy ancestors. but who, while able to discourse wisely on literature, art politics, philosophy, would fondle a poodle dog with every lavish demonstration of affection but abominated the very thought of bear- ing children and would sooner pass before the world as cursed with ster- lily than do honestly the work God J intended by lilatrimony.

 And where is the city. in our coun-s try where this crime does flourish? We have seen people going almost in- to spasms and working themselves up into a white heat over the menace to the country from foreign immigra tion, an opinion not entirely without foun- dation, but right under our very eyes in every city, fourishes rank this crime against God, against nature, against decency and morality and withal a cowardly crime, since it is aimed mostly against defenceless child. And the perpetrators for the most part are not the fore gnc.' but our own native born American stock, physicians who move in the upper circle, men who are abundantly we'll off in worldly goods, so that poverty is no motive, yet who do not scruple tC take innocent life and deprive Il creature of existence. the existence they themselves enjoy through natur- al generation. The place for such men, if not the scaffold, is at least be- hind prison bars. They are the blood suckers of q community, the vampires who are getting wealthy. too often on the best blood of the nation and,o the disgrace of a profession that is i. deservedly held in honor for the vast amount of good 1t does.
