LET THE GOOD SWAMP THE EVIL
“The best way to combat what is evil is to create what is. good. Had literature will be, but little read il there is ample provision of good literature. Mere negation loads to nothing good. Emptiness ol mind will H.v to that which is denied it. Our legislators. if they are wise, will make as little fuss over evil literature as they can. “Censor by all means obscene literature, but do not create by political means associations of people whose legal iftinot ion is to be virtuous above their fellows, and to show this by rummaging about until they eau discover obscene passages in books and give* publicity to them. . • • Y e glow nobly like what we love, and ignobly like what we hate. The soul has laws just u*k umiill.erahle as the laws ol nature. ’’--The “Irish ’Statesmen.”
