questioned the statement.
To test the accuracy of the witness
he took out his own watch. and asked
the negro to tell him when five minutes

The present generation ia on the
march.
In no period Of the history of the
world have as many signal victories
been won on as many divergent
lines OF activities. Every department
Of human life has felt the influence
OF this progressive, analytical spirit
10 institution is too sacred to inveS-
tiFate. no province of human life is
inviolate. mysteries and supersti-
tions have beep swept away by the
onward march of science.
No department of human interest
has felt this attitude of the public
mind II ore than the problem pertain
ing to the association Of the sexes
and its various ramifications on the
so-calIed social evil
Ignorance is no longer held to be
synonymous with virtue, and in or
der to be kept from evil and to judge
right from wrong, it is essential that
one should know the truth. The
public conscience is awakened to de-
nland scientific study CT the forces
OF evil and the possibility of their
elimination.
Truth Shall Be Known.
Out of this new spirit has grown
the demand that the truth shall be
known in regard to all matters per-
tanning to sex irregularity, and that
the restrictive taboo be removed
from all knowledge which is useful.
The leaders of public sentiment can
not afford to deny to those who need
it most. an understanding of the
facts essential to right and safe liv-
ing. Society is beginning to realize
more and more that the refusal OF
this knowledge by those competent
TO give it in a proper way, does not
close the avenues of information. but
rather leRyes the inquiring mind 10
feed from sources Of pollution, and
that the ignorant and unprotected
are left to grope blindly in that pre-
caIious and dangerous realms of
human passion in which dweIls the
spirit Of love and power to perpetuate
human life.
The Real Question.
The question no longer is whether
boys and girls shall know the truth,
but how and from what shall they
receive this information? Shall they
know that the segregated district of
Washington exists through furtive
glances cast at its mysterious, close
ly shuttered houses from the passing
electric cars; in the very attitude OF
the skulldng groups OF silent men
and women, who frequent Its streets,
declaring eloquently that there is
some forbidden attraction hidden in
fits purlieus mystery and its appeal

terest the passing knowledge?
Or shall they know Of it as a fes-
teIing sore upon the civic life of the
community, the hotbed of conts-
gious disease Of the most virulent
type, a graveyard of souls, a cess
pool of iniquity, that all good men
and women, and even some who may
not think rightly on all subjects,
agree, for the good Of the country,
Which form Of knowledge will be

No Market For the Crop.
Shall our boys hear of the social
evil from the fiippant tongue of the
thoughtless, who will ridicuIe their

illusions to the need of sowing
