A Disgrace and Insult to Womanhood
By Editor
WE have received from several sources a clipping, and we noted it also in the papers when it first came out, of a most disgraceful sort of thing, seemingly at a Jewish synagog affair, in which kisses were sold at so much apiece, these kisses divided into seven different classes described, prices ranging all the way from 25 cents to $2.50. The report states that four thousand tickets already had been sold, netting two thousand dollars. It is disgraceful. We do not know how a decent moral man, say nothing about a religious man, would be willing that his wife or his daughter should even assist in the carrying out of such a wretched, lustful, indecent program. We are at a loss for words to express our feelings regarding it. It seems as tho a protest ought to ring throughout all Christendom, and that protest ought to include the congregations of Jewish synagogs throughout the United States. We doubt sorely if any more evil ever grew out of the incident at Baal-peor than may grow out of this wretched affair in Chicago.
