COMMERCIALIZED VICE AND PUBLIC
VIGILANCE

From the. Outlook -.
Ii is significant that: three organizations, gil en
gagged iii combating congratulated tee. in: New
YORK CITY, almost simultaneously have reported a
noteworthy decrease iii tile extent Of one form Of
such vice that is, ihe Exploiting of'wonen: rhese
three organizations are the co4mittee OF fourteen
the society for the prevention of crime and the bu
reau of social hygiene.
II Seems evident that the investigations of the So
called 'yice ring" width followed the exposures
brought by the murder of the gambler, Herman
Rosentlal, by Police-Lieutenant Becker and four
gunmeh was the beginning of campaign which has
steadily decreased the power of the promoters Of
commercalized prostitution Says the report of the
bureau of social hygiene: Vice still exists; but it's
amount has been greatly reduced, and the damage
caused has been immensely essened In 1912 pro-
stituton was open, organized, aggressive and pro
sperous in 1916 it is furtive, disorganized precari
ous, unsuccessful. This improvement is shown in the
statistics, but matter of fact the real i'm
proyement is far greater than the statistics show.
The report Of the committee of fourier contains
several striking findings. For instance, it is said
Most amazing perhaps TO the outside world has been
the cooperation of those engaged in the liquor trade,
and particularly of The brewers, !. in the effort
TO improve conditions in saloons and hotels" In
the second place the committee feels that it has ex-
ploded the theory that the great department stores
of the city breeding grounds for prostitution,
and reports that it has had great assistance from
of the department stores in investigating this
matter. Another improvement is the reorganization
of the courts and the increased cooperation of the
courts with one another, with the police and with
the disstr.ict attorneys in handling prostitution.
The committee has also found the New York City
police to be increasingly helpful but regrets that it
cannot say the thing of the state excise depart
ment.
All three OF these organizations whose reports we
have quoted from emphasizing the Importance of I'M
remitting vigilance the part of the public They
attribute much of their success in the elimination of
comercialized vice to the support of the public II
is largely as result Of this widespread determine
