Better Let the Mann Act Alone.

Chicago Herald: The Church Fed
Grafton of Chicago, in some resolu-
tons condemnatory OF the persistent
efforts of certain newspapers to
weaken the Mann act, makes re-
mark that seems to go TO the root of
the thought OF those who continually
raise the cry of 'blackmail." Here it
IS:
We have observed that men OF
bIameless conduct have not been COM
planning that they have been black
mailed under the Mann act"
Since the recent supreme court de-
cisfon the Mann act has become as
dangerous to the female blacknailer
as TO the male seducer. To put It
blurtly, the law has been made so
completely reasonable in its interpre-
tation and application that further
complaints about 1t from any quarter
tend to create the suspicion that
somewhat of personal feeling or fear
Is IN the background.
The general public is quite well in
formed on the subject and quite cap
e5lz OF drawing the differences that
-a-u-sTIv sugsast themselves. Hence
-1e curse OF wisdom, for publictsts
II Feu as FOR politicians. Is to let the
Mann zct alone as it IS now inter
