THE N'EW XBNYQN' LAW.
The national capital'# rice dis
trict is on the move. Th« new Ken
yon "injunction and abatement"
law will forever remove this sewer
spot 'u the city. Because Washing
ton is the first large eastern city
to adopt this "Iowa idaa" the oper
ation of the new statute will be
watched with interest all over the
country.
The Kfnyon measure, in brief,
provides t jat any citizen may obtain
an injunction against use of any pro
perty in the District for immoral
purposes, on showing that the
property is thus used. Iowa cit
ies adopted such a law half a dozen
years ago and have succeeded in
| ridding their environs of the segre
gated vice district.
Washington's "red light" section
has been notorious for ye-irs. Up
until ten years ago thoentir# vice
section was quartered in half a doz
en streets directly off Pennsylvan
ia A venae, and bounded by Twelfth,
D, E, md Fifteenth streets. Police
recognized the boundaries of this
quarter, kept track of its denizens,
and preserved order there.
Indeed, it had long been the boast
of the Washington police depart
ment that Washington's tenderloin
w^s the "safest place in Mie city",
that boast was not baseless. It
was a rare occasion for any of the
unfortunates to be taken into court,
and arrests of habitues of the hous
es or of casual visitors were far
from frequent.
The Washington tenderloin has
been semi-officially recognized and
rigidly restricted on the theory that
it meant that the residential sec
tions would be kept absolutely
"clean"—and they have been up to
the present time, with mighty fe>v
exceptions.
It was also proved that this semi
official recognition and segregation
meant that Washington's streets by
day or night were absolutely free
of street walkers. Tie women of
the segregated district were known
and registered as such, and they
knew that "street walking" would
mean exile from Washington.
Persons who have openly or se
cretly opposed the Kenyon measure
have prophesied that stamping
out of the tenderloin will mean that
Washington's residential sections
will suffer as a result; that if
some of the women that are chased
out of the tenderloin do not spread
to other sections, owners will couie
into the city and manage to live as
they do in New York, Philadelphia
and other cities where such unfor
tunates conduct small "establish
ments" in good neighborhoods.
A vice crusade in 1904 forced a
more restricted quarter tor the vice
section and a second 'City of the
Living Dead" sprung into being in
the southeast section of the city—
a scant three blocks from the Cap
itol building.
The older vice area was within a
stone's throw of the Postoffice
building and the Treasury De
marked the eud ftf ten jeears' fight
[White House, Washington monu
ment, and the Dc;>aitn.ent of Agri
culture. The now red light district
aid not supplant the old, tne ponce
criisade suudenlv dy ng, for some
ooscure reason.
The "assage of the Kenyon meas
ure through the Senate and House
marked the end of ten year's fight
for civic reformers. Their pleas
that the nation's capital—known as
one of the "cleanest" cities in the
world—should permit organized vice
to foster and grow in a part of
the city set'aside for it, had hith
erto gone unheeded.
Veiled charges that, powerful loc
al sources have prevented its 'clean
ing up" because certain prominent
individuals owned houses rented out
to prostitutes, have heretofore been
heard. Tne Kenyon law is expect
ed to force appearance In court of
the actual owners of the premises
against which au injunction is
sought, as well as of the tenants.
That the law will result in a genera
clean-up is declared by proponents
who point out that the measure
not only provides for a permanent
injunction against the use of such
property for immoral purposes, but
also permits the condemnation and
sale of all fixtures and furniture
in such houses.

May tole from heaven an angel

And rouse a fiend from holl!
