Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - May 15, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news showers these Days by George e. Sokolsky a tast the Fiest Stone it is not usual for a sitting judge i to write a sociological study which i knocks the props from under the i Law which he is called upon to enforce but that is precisely what judge John m. Murtagh chief magistrate of new York City does in his Book a cast the first Stone which he wrote with Sara Harris and which deals with the oldest of subjects prostitution. After Reading this study i could not but by surprised that it did not create More of a sensation when it first appeared because the study of the negro and cuban Sweet daddies who keep stables of girls White sepia Brown any kind that can bring in the dough is a startling account of Tho voluntary acceptance of enslavement. Some of the a cows a As they Are called in their business Are College graduates of Good families. There Are class lines in this business except that an outlaw is one who is not working for a Sweet daddy. This is a Side of delinquency which every family always believes can Only happen to others but it does happen in palaces As Well As hovels few men could have had More direct dealings with this problem than judge Murtagh. For he sits on the Bench As these gals Are brought in time after time and lie has studied their Sweet daddies for whom they work often voluntarily. Calling the other creatures a wives in Law a thus a Sweet daddy is provided with a harem of slaves whom Fie mulits and beats and throws away at whim. It is an amazing world of voluntary servitude in a free society. Vol. 80, . 115 it. Pleasant. Iowa till Hsiu evening.

Introduction of cers and directors. 3 45 Brief state Spring sing is praised this is what a magistrate sees when they come before him a a there Are plenty of Young girls including teen agers among them but they Are girls who have never Learned to value either their youth or themselves. The older ones Are mostly homely and dirty with Messy hair and bad complexions. Pome of them look As if they had not bathed or changed their clothes in but there Are will pay to go Tures that once were women and there Are other men who own them and who live on them. And the Law always failed in its Effort to put an end to prostitution not because there is Money in it but apparently because there is perverseness and perversion in the character of humans. Tile girls who support these men and who Are of their stable hardly make anything for their services and they know that they can walk away from these men to the nearest police Staton but they prefer to stay. Judge Murtagh does not mince matters at All. He describes conditions in the Large Metropolis As they Are and one has to recognize that this is not a free Lance writer making copy but a responsible and respected judge whose words must be acknowledged not Only because of the office he holds but because he is a Man of probity who has elevated his court since he became its head. It is difficult to convince parents to read such a Book even in modern times when everybody is supposed to be so progressive and open minded. Nevertheless it is the very nature of this area which requires parents to be More vigilant than they Are accustomed to being. The undisciplined secular Type of education now in Vogue in the United states cannot explain away of progressive the use of marijuana and heroin by school children which so often leads girls of so called Good families into j restitution and eventually slavery. One cannot read this Book without wondering Why society tolerates the slavery. The Only criticism i have heard of judge Murtaghh a study is a Why should he have written such a Book Quot he has probably ruined his chances for political advancement which undoubtedly matters Little to him. What does matter is that he has torn away the veil from a Side of Large City life which Good citizens prefer not to see never realizing that it has Little to do u Ith poverty or drunkenness or other environmental conditions. Prostitution As it has now developed would appear to be a mental disease not of lust but of despair. The Sweet daddies Are now mostly negroes and cubans who own false puerto rican certificates.
