TluO Letters About
RunalUay Clergyman

A second letter on the same sub
ject:
Editor Of The Times:
Dear SIRE Pastor Densel. am
surely as much shocked AS anybody that
Pastor" should run away from wife and
child with an affinity" But at the same
time do not see WHY in the name of
COMMON SENSE they should try to
make an elephant out of moth, talking
about jury and the White Slave act
Although a Pastor" i presume he
Is just as much a HUMAN being as
anyone and therefore liable to err in
weak moment If sufficiently tempted.
The girl is no spring chicken and
KNEW what she was doing. She KNEW
that he was pastor and a married man
and that knowledge should have been
sufficient for girl of good morals to
shrink from intimate relationship and a
ride to Buffalo or anywhere else. She
is no less to blame than he is. And the
TACT that, according to her own statement,
she was VERY CAREFUL never to let
him have anything in writing, would
seem to prove that she had lawsuit in
mind from the very beginning
The publicity and the loss of his po-
sition and standing as a pastor should
be enough punishment for the poor sim
ner who, maybe, was more sinned against
"HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN. LET
HIM CAST THE FIRST STONE" Let
the District Attorney and the jury re-
member that, if case is trumped I'D
for white Slaver."-It's absurd.
How many Of the idle rich do the self
same thing year in, year out, and are
respected" notwithstanding.
A SELF-RESPECTING GIRL
WOULD NOT SACRIFICE HER GOOD
NAME AND REPUTATION BY Such
PUBLICITY AS THE HANNENBERG
GIRL is GETTING. NOT FOR A MIL
LION DOLLARS, NOT FOR ALL THE
GOLD IN THE WORLD.
Sincerely yours. DIX.
The determination to punish
thoroughly the man whose crime
was aggravated because of the DO,
sition he held, because of his power
and influence over women in his
congregation, has nothing to do with
the guilt or innocence of the young
woman in question.
The Mann act, which Furnishes as
"white slavery" the crime of which
this man was guilty, has danger.
Gus feature in that it opens the door
very wide, to blackmail. 1t has also
it's good feature, to make men re.
fleet before they follow the example
Of the Rev. Mr.. Densel.
AS for the attitude of men and
women in such cases, the writer Of
the second letter will be good enough
to remember under what circum-
stances were uttered the words
quoted by him, "Let him cast the
first stone" In that case the WON.
an, as has often happened through
history, was to be punished, the
man escaping. The Founder OF
Christianity reminded the men OF
fact that they so easily forget
that not one of them is without sin
and that it is to the man, and MOI
the woman, that the sin is due il
the first instance.
