The conference was I>y"William Flinn and Republicans andDemocrats alike were denounced.

PUBLICITY THE BESTWEAPON IN FIGHT ONVICE DECLARES JUDGE

Evils Have Genesis in Timidityand Inertia of Officials

Not in Corruption

Newspaper publicity, In the opinionof Judge Frank Carter, of the Superior

Court of North Carolina, one of thenoted jurists of the United States, lathe most effective of all weapons inthe fight against vice in its variousforms and phases.

Judge Carter recently wrote a letterto Dr. Howard A. Kelly, the eminentsurgeon of Baltimore, who Is lecturingin the larger cities of the country onthe perils of the "social evil," In whichlie commends Dr. Kelly for the parthe is doing in the elimination of viceby making public the awful resultsthat obtain from the festering sores ofhumanity, the houses of ill-fame.

Judge Carter's letter, In which hedeclares publicity, persistent, relent-less publicity, to be the remedy forvictousnese, was sent to Dr. Kelly justbefore rtie eminent surgeon lectu'redin this city at the Technical highschool several weeks ago. It is as fol-lows:

"I feel so deep an interest In yourgreat crusade against vice that it givesme pleasure to comply with your re-quest for an expression of my views,based upon my observation #nd ex-perience upon the North Carolina Su-perior Court bench, as to the methodsbest calculated to secure the desiredresults; although I am very skepticalas to the value of opinions based uponan experience so limited as my own.

Must Arouse Public"The indispensable condition of suc-

cess in this as in. every other moraland legal reform is an aroused andenlightened public opinion. Alwaysand everywhere public opinion con-demns vice and crime, but such con-demnation is practically inert as a de-terrent so long as It exists only In theabstract?so long as it Is merely sub-conscious in the public mind and con-science. However sound public opinionmay be, It only becomes efficient asn normal prophylactic when to itssoundness is added enlightenment asto existing conditions of depravity andthe Indignation that naturally resultsfrom such enlightenment.
