A TIMELY CRUSADE.
Squads of police are going about Paris to-day scraping from billboards the theatrical posters which Senator Lamaretzell branded as indecent on the floor of Parliament yesterday (says a cable message under date June 11 to the Chicago Tribune). _ Other policemen are busy raiding establishments which print lewd postcards, which some persons are forever trying to sell to every foreigner who walks upon the boulevards. Several tons of such literature have been carted to police headquarters and will be burned to-night. Meanwhile every newspaper has taken up the debate which the Senator from Brittany started There are two schools. One holds that Paris is Paris, and freedom is freedom, and that all censure is obnoxious Others maintain that Rome fell because the Romans became dissolute, and France is going the same way
