IMMORAL LITERATURE.

AMERICAN CIRCULATION. .. New York, Mar. 26. The Society for the Suppression of Vice has published a report in which the Magistrates Courts newspapers of the United States, Post Office and Department of Justice arc blamed for the deluge of indecent pictures and immoral literature which is flooding the country. The report charges the newspapers with being in favour of indecency, because they mainly are interested in profits and therefore do not wish to offend large amusement publication interests. It is alleged that the courts have strained the construction of the law, by which means accused persons have been acquitted, thereby emboldening producers to further indecencies. The Post Office fails to sift published matter, thereby carrying much that is corrupting and debased. The Department of Justice investigates salacious magazines only upon complaint after distribution, by which time the damage is done. —(A. and N.Z.)
