Prostitution and the Cadet System

Until 18 94, very little was known in america of the procurer. Then we were attacked by an epidemic of virtue. Vice was to be abolished, the country purified at all costs. The social cancer was therefore driven out of sight, but deeper into the body. It is our sham and hypocrisy that create both the prostitute and the cadet. An educated public opinion can alone help to ameliorate present conditions.
