NOME, ALASKA. JI N’L ;tO, 1916.
11 is indeed a most r«markable specta
cle to witness first citlsens. business
and professional men of the highest
standing in the community, entering a
protest against the enforcement of the
law against an admitted evil. It is not
only a rare sight but its remarkable
aspects art further enhanced because
sueh aetion happens to be directed to
• lu t king legal enforcements against such
an institution as the brothel. Not only
does such procedure appeal most un
usual but is also open to obvious crit
icism. it is to this criticism that these
remarks at* directed t’nder some con* ! *
ditions the action recently taken by a
number of citizens relative to the red
light section would not be entirely tree
from the taint of questionable purpose.
It happens in the present case, however,
that the protestants, these opposers «d
tin* law. are of the nest class of cili
Zens in a community no less distinguish
ed for a proper regard for the moral
virtues than is the average town. In
fact it may be truthfully said that the
moral standard of Nome is a trifle high
er man the average, and the men who
composed the committee which waited
upon the district attorney are also some
what above the usual run in the matter
of morality.
In every instance they were men of the
Highest integrity, many of them the
heads oi families, the fathers of grow
ing viiiidi.n. against whom there can
he no .suspicion of moral laxity. Men
oi this character seldom oppose the en
lorccinent of laws of any nature, much
hss those which are directed to the cor
rection of public vice.
That such men are willing to brave
ih«! odium Hi having their names con
nected with an attempt t«> prevent the
abolition of public prostitution is ample
proof that they are thoroughly convinc
ed that ttlort fluent of the law against
that institution is determined to the best
interests of the community .
No decent citizen is willing to allow
himself to be publicly connected with
such nauseating matters unless lie feels
that in so doing he is fulfilling a duty
to himself and others. When decent, law
abiding men come forward openly and
nonestly in such matters it is certain
assurance that they feel that the ob
ject to he gained is of such pressing
moment as to transcend personal inclin
ations. No man of moral worth is will
ing to go on record as upholding a vile
institution unless he has more than a
personal reason for so doing.
in the present Instance the men who
have taken it upon themselves to pro
test against the announced determina
tion of the district attorney’s office to
close the restricted ares feel that such
action can have no beneficial effect on
the morals of the community. Without
exception they share with a major por
tion of the people the belief that not
only ean no good come of an enforce
ment of the law in this respect but that
;uch enforcement is not only liable to
but certainly will lead to worse moral
conditions. They recognize that the
chances are ten to one that it will
mean nothing more than a mere trading
of one evil condition for another even
more evil. Knowing that vice 9uppres
Mon is oik- of the most difficult tasks
that man lias e\«i taken u|*on liiniseli,
they leel that the Ih»si eftorls of the
district attorney will have no other ef
i lect (han to make matters decided 1>
worse instead of better. They also feel
that h vice is to exist it were better
confined than allowed to iouch upon the
lives of those who are unable to guard
against it. This is their reason, their
« xeuse, and We have no hesitation in
endorsing it as it is felt that their course
• •I action is fully justified under the cir
cumstances. Alsu we have no hesita
tion hi saying that their views on this
subject are shared by four fifths of the
community, including the major portion
of ttie female units.
investigation reveals that, whatever |
may be the views of a small and puri
tanically inclined minority, the greater
portion of the entire community is op
posed to the contemplated action. Not
been use of immoral inclination but be
• a use oi the sincere belief that the re
sult will be such as to place in jeopardy
the innocent and virtuous by creating
a wider inclination to moral viciousness.
In every way we teei that the citizens j
v- ho elected themselves to the unpleas* *
ant task oi laving this view before the j
j district attorney were acting- in accord- |
j a nee with the general wish of the com
I ‘“unit) \\ »• also feel that it is a mat- |
i<T lor regret that they were unable to
« niploy more strongly coercive measures
j m impressing the wishes of the people
than mere statements oi opinion. They
"ere doing their duty by the cominun
"V in expressing its wishes and neither !
