declaration that the public and the courts
cannot sanction any efforts 'to suppress
the record Of civilization"
There was In the Rome Of Nero's day a
very able satirist disgusted by the reck.
lessness and vice apparent In the lives OF
the over-rich Of the period. He was some-
thing OF crusader a sort Of DR.. Straton.
with the added gifts of scholars mind and
an artists manner. He wrote a tale
intended to hold the high rollers Of
his time up to public contempt. 1t was
sensational work In many ways, and It was
rather frank. What remains Of it has been
obtainable in English ever since translations
we're first made available by admirers of the
classic literature of the Latins.
The Society for the Suppression OF Vice
has just discovered tho work. II began an
action to have the book suppressed and It
lost. and, according to report. its agents
are now to be sued for libel by the pub
Usher.
Doubtless there are publishers without
any regard for literary standards who pub
lish sensational books for the money that
is to be made out of them. But, rs Magis-
trate Oberwagcr observed. they seldom make
much out Of their ventures.
1t is but n short step. ms the magistrate
pointed out, from censorship of minor classi-
cal works TO censorship of Shakespeare and
the Bible. And that step leads directly to
the acceptance of preccdents which would
justify self-appointed groups Of we'll mean
ing but misguided men and women in telling
not only this generation but the generations
of the future what they should think, be-
lievc and feel.
