AFTER THE BLACKMAmERs.

Blackmailers have found the Mann
act a convenient aid to their schemes
for extorting money from susceptible
men. Designing women find it an
effective weapon for their purpose.
After inducing men to accompany
them across a state line they make
their demands and enforce them with
threats of prosecution.
1t is not through sympathy for the
too willing victims that the depart
ment of justice has decided to leave
prosecutions To the discretion of the
district attorneys. but through a pur-
pose to break up and destroy a system
of blackmail that is fourishing under
the operation of the Mann act. NJ
merous cases have been brought to
the attention of the department in
which there was more than a suspi-
cion of conspiracy or intention TO de-
fraud The strong statement is Off
cially made that in ninety-nine per
cent OF these cases the men have been
deliberately inveigled into violations
of the law for the purposes of black
mail
In delegating this discretion TO the
district attorneys the department of
justice has followed the precedent es-
tablished in the state courts. These
courts have power equal To the fed
eral courts for the prosecution of Of
tenders under the Mann act but very
few of these cases ever reach the state
courts for the reason that the state
prosecutor may use his discretion as
TO whether the cases should he prose-
cuted o not and that in most in
stances it is found that the prosecu-
tons were started for Matchmaking
purposes.
There may be opportunity IN this
discretionary power for collision and
graft. but for the purpose of defeat
ing the ends of the blackmaiIers it is
deemed necessary TO trust to the
honor OF the district prosecutors.
Matchmaking is one OF the most in
sidious evils society has 70 contend
against and the department perhaps
thinks it mightebe better that a vio-
lator of the Mann act should escape
occasionally than that the system
which uses the law as a club should
continue 10 prosper
