"A SPLENDID SERMON"
So a Reader Describes THE Lure, y
with Harsh Words for It's Suppressors.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: | was present with three friends AT
the Monday nights performance or The
Lure" and we all agreed that IT was
splendid sermon.
We came to the conclusion that the peo-
ple who had a real reason TO wish II sup
pressed could only be the owners or such
places, the patrons of same, and those
representatives OF law and order who
get their graft thereby. No matter how
terrible certain parts OF this play may
be. II is in my opinion fully justified by
the warning II gives TO inexperienced
girls when applying for work to people OF
whom they know nothing.
Anyway. II has more excuse for remain
ing on the boards" than such plays as
The Easiest Way" and The Affairs OF
Anatol' These latter, although exQui-
sitely acted. were In my opinion. simply
salaclous drivel, but judging by the run
they had, my opinion was evidently not
the popular one.

Another Headquarters Mystery.

Police Headquarters sometimes is as mysterious
TO the man in the street as average street crimes
seem to be To Police Headquarters. The latest hEs
tery behind the green lights is the sudden discovery
Of General Blngham's BLACK Hand list, which has
been found after an equally mysterious disappear
ance many months ago. That list, compiled In IW9
contained the names of 742 Italians and data re-
cardng their criminal records in Italy which would
have rendered them liable to deportation In pre-
uarinc it the faithful Petrosno was murdered-a
striking testimonial TO its value
That value is gone now, for the time limit for de-
porting the men listed has passed. Therefore the
list turns up without the slightest trace Of plausl
biity in any explanation of where it has been So
iouruing During its absence murders, blackmal
bomb throwing have been rife among the Italians
of the city, and it is fair assumption that some
of these former criminals have garnercd good
harvest Of dollars from unwilling fellow country
men.
1t IL no wonder that the police lose many crml-
nails If they are unable to keep valuable docu-
ment when It is in their possession. 1t may soon
come to pass where there will have to be super
notice force. or force to police the police.

Helping the Professional Bondsman.

When the night court was established IL was
Thought a death blow had been struck at the pro

when the night court for women was created. to
have particular and especial handling OF cases OF
street walkers arrested at nght-the time when the
bondsman's traffic formerly fOurished. Now II
seems he needs killing again, largely because Of
administrative methods in the handling by the
courts Of the cases OF these women.
Arrests for soliciting having fallen off. an order
issued by Chief Magistrate McAdoo compelled the
trial of all such cases in the night court for women
regardless Of the time Of arrest because this court
has more time for them. Thus. woman arraigned
in the day court Immediately after arrest has TO
await hearing before the night court 1t seems
she may elect to give bail and have her hearing at
the next sitting Of the night court or some subSc-
quent one. It Is more profitable for her to be on
the streets than in CELL she sends for the bonds
man.
Such a scheme, while it may give greater show
ing of court activity create more even disribu
ton of court labor, is certainly fostering return
70 the conditions which the night court for women
was designed to end. IL will encourage arrests by
grafting patrOlmen who stand in with the bonds
men, and bring the bOndsman himself back TO his
odtime prosperity. The problem Of handling the
street walkers is hard enough at the best 1t should
not he complicated by clumsy court methods

More Nonsense About Mrs. Pankhurst.

of Immigration that it may be necessary TO incar

That Neuter Sex.

This Is a sad picture and an ominous one WIN

That would be the organization of strong society
for the suppression Of sex discussions. with such

morality or immortality OF the two plays

DAYS. We have seen both Of the plays
and arc therefore qualified 10 express an
opinion.
These two plays TO us seemed like ser
mons teaching a great moral and sound
ing a much-needed warning. No obscene
word is spoken and no obscene situations
are presented In either Of these plays.
Each tells the ugly truth I'm regard to
commcrcialized vice and shows US how
innocent girls are lured or entrapped and
then held I'm degrading captivity, and one
Of them also shows us how they are pur-
sued By their masters" II they are fort

a most forceful way a lesson 20 mothers
and a warning to unprotected girls. The
hideous side of the life OF these UNI
fortunate girls Is so presented as to cause
quick change OF heart in any foolish
girl who might be contemplating taking
the easies. way
The average mother knows nothing OF
the methods OF the cadet. the procurer or

Trade Nearly Trebled"; That's All.

A recent Congressional compilation Of Philippine
trade statistics intended TO cast contumelious
stone at the last administration for unduly magnify
ing the growth Of our commerce with those islands
Since 1909 it has been impracticable to distinguish
in reports between commercial and official imports
into the islands and the government apparently
makes no attempt to estimate their respective pro
portions Of the whole But the Congressional COM
piler is cocksure that the commercial imports have
been much less than the government would have us
believe and that the growth of the whole trade has
been chiefly due to the increase Of governmental
traffic So he makes for himself "a rough estimate
based on assumptions the truth of which cannot be
proyed" which assumptions may, however, fairly
ma held until the government itself elects TO prove
them uDtenabe.'

contention--which simply means that any old thing

Something Saved from the Looters.

On the theory that small favors ought to be
thankfully received the country will probably DO
grateful for the selfrestraint which President VIII
son has exhibited in the recent reassignments in
the consular service. All the shifts ordered were
made in accordance with the provisions Of the
executive orders which protect the consular service
from political lOoting. SO long as these orders
remain unrevoked promotions within the corps must
he on the basis Of merit and new appointees must
enter the lowest rank.
The President and Secretary Bryan are unwilling
70 face the odium of turning the consulates to
hungry politicians They are apparently going TO
observe the letter of the present law however little
respect they may have for its spirit. 1t Is lucky
that there is restraining letter In the diplomatic
service where the protection given extends only to
appointments in the grades of secretary Of lega-
tion and secretary Of embassy the administration
has been ignoring the spirit of the merit system
entirely by dsplacing men who have gone through
the secretaria grades and then accepted missions.
They have been all sDuffed out a warning TO
Americans who have been ready to make diplomacy

minor posts In the higher grades, according to
the Wilson Bryan notice, experience Is to he dis
pensed with In favor Of recommendations from a
CONGRESSMAN or the treasurer Of a party campaign
fund.
How much more TO the administrations credit
il would be n the vital spirit of the merit theory
had been lived up to in the entire foreign service
instead OF the mere narrow letter.
