Chicago Bans Indecent Public Acts

By Editor

The city of Chicago has passed an ordinance to prohibit all public acts of an indecent nature. This puts under the ban of the city's law all suggestive and indecent songs, suggestive gestures, and others acts and expressions of a similar character, in public places. Many other cities could follow Chicago's example to good advantage. The vice commission in that city, as well as the special committee of the senate of the state of Illinois, are doing vigorous work in their efforts to put down vices and indecencies. Let us hope and pray that they may ever be courageous and successful in their good work.
