THE PUBLIC FORUM

VICE AND NEWS.-Here is proof
that the newspapers published in the
loop, commonly and properly-call-
ed the trust papers" and the 'capi-
taHstic press" do suppress news that
is of vital Importance to the people.
Loop papers carefully suppressed
the real news on the report of the Il
inois senate vice committee.
This report shows up capital and
capitalists as the cause of at least 70
per cent of the prostitution of today.
It proves that 70 per cent Of the wO-
men who go morally wrong do so, not
because they are vicious, not because
they want to be bad, but because the
men who hire will not pay sufficient
wage upon which they can live. 1t
shows that girls stray off the path Of
virtue not because they want to, but
because they must eat.
This report does not deal in gener-
alities, not in allegations; it draws its
conclusions from facts; facts which it
obtained by putting on the witness
stand the big employers of women,
making them admit they were not
paying enough on which a woman
could live Unaided.

president of Marshall Fields depart

John T. Pirie, one of the owners of

MARKET DROPS GAIN
 OF PREVIOUS DAY
Heavy Realizing Brings Decline With Close 1920 Lower More Southern Hedge Selling Reported Around the Ring.

New York, Sept. 2O.-The cotton market lost a good part of yesterdays advance during today's trading with December contracts selling off from 16.20c to 15.9Sc, and closing at 15.99c. The general list closed steady at a net decline of 16 to 20 points.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of to points, in response to relatively easy cables. There were overnight buying orders around the ring and prices rallied right after the call, with October selling up to 1620c and January to 16.30c, or about 1 to 1 points net higher and into new high ground for the movement in case of some positions.
 Buying by houses with Liverpool connections and a renewal of trade demand, accompanied by reports that Carolina and New England were buy ing freely seemed to be responsible for this improvement. Offerings in- creased at the advance, however. and the market soon turned easier. More Southern hedge selling was reported around the ring than recently, while there was heavy realizing and prob ably local selling for reaction.
 Prices broke some Is to 20 points before midday. with October selling off to l5.S3c and January to 16.07c. Rallies of 10 or 20 points followed the weekly report of the Weather Bureau, indicating rapid progress with pick ing, but unfavorably low tempera- lures in the Carolinas and little pros poets of top crop, with the possible exception of Oklahoma. Closing prices were at practically the lowest of the day.
 The market closed steady.

BLACkMAIL CASES
 TO BE TRIED SOON
Secret Service Investigators De- eide to Concentrate on Case Other Arrests May be Made in the Near Future.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-Federai agents, who have been at work in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, Investigating the black mailing syndicate, virtually agreed to- night to concentrate the prosecution at this time against those charged specifically with blackmailing Mrs. Regina C. Ripper of Philadelphia.
 The case probably will be pressed to trial within a month. The defend ants in the case probably will be re- moved to New York at once for trial. The conference was called by A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of the department of investigation, with view in coordin- ating all the information in the pro- secution. Mir. Bielaski said William Butler of Philadelphia Edward Dona- hue, held at Chicago, George Irwin, arrested in Boston and Frank Crock CT, in New York, probably would be tried in the near future. He was not ready to say other arrests would be made immediately, but declared there might be more later on. The investi- gators will meet again tomorrow.

COTTON DAMAGED
 BY COOL WEATHER
Picking and Ginning Continue, However, Says Report Issued For the Past Week by Weath- CT Bureau.

Washington. Sept 20.-Cool wealth CT in North Carolina and parts of South Carolina has caused some dam age to cotton, but picking and ginning is proceeding under favorable condi- tons in most of the Southern states, according to the weekly crop bulletin of the Weather Bureau. Most of the tobacco crop in Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee has been housed and is heing cured.
 "The weather was too cool for cot ton in North and South Carolina, ' says the report, "and progress in the first named state was unsatisfactory. There are complaints of boil rot and other deterioration, although some picking was in progress. Picking and ginning are proceeding rapidly in northern and central South Carolina, southern Georgia, Tennessee, Ala bama, Mississippi, Arkansas. Louis jana, Oklahoma, Texas and Arizona.
 Arkansas Crop is Made.
 Rains delayed picking in western Florida. Cotton is about all open in Georgia, but the late crop is begin ming to need rain in northern Ala bama and boil weevil continue numer- ous. The top crop in Oklahoma is progressing slowly and in Louisiana and Texas little or no top crip is eX- pected, owing to boil wecvil Cotton is reported as being made in the great CT portion of Arkansas
 Frost Hurts Corn Crop.
 Another week of favorable weathec has aided grain harvesting and threshing over most of the country, the bulletin says. Frost did consider able damage to late corn in several Northern states, while in most of the Middle and Southern states good crops are expected. Because of the hot and dry summer, white potatoes are only fair to poor in many sections and almost failure in Ohio. Meadow and forage crops are reported good.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY OCT. 9
It Will be More Generally Observed
 in Arkansas Than Ever Before.

The indications are that Fire Pre- venton Day, which will be observed Oct 9 this year will have more gen eral public attention in Arkansas this year than ever before.
 Even though fire prevention may have selfish motives behind it, inter est in it is more pronounced than ever before because the people all over Ar kansas are feeling the fire tax. Fire loss and fire fighting is costing the Arkansas family of five, on the aver age $25.O0 per year, in real money, through increased living expenses, due to the millions of dollars worth of goods and wealth wiped out of eX- istence each year by fire, according to Miss Mary McCabe, of Little Rock, an officer of the Arkansas Fire Proven tion Association.
