...charge that perjury and forgery are now added to ballot-box stuffing, falsification of election returns and the city-wide sticker scandal of the Vare gang of Philadelphia. . . . "The Vare penmen not only forged names but invented persons. Two Vare penmen in the Sixth Division of the 32nd ward turned out a full sheet of forgeries. One wrote 29 signatures and the other 15 all copied from the street list. But instead of signing the names as any ordinary man or woman would sign, all of the names were written with the family name first, just as they appeared...

...neither is any community of same and sophisticated people ever sufficiently broad minded to allow, without some kind of stone throwing, the importunities of the moral emotionalist. And that is exactly what the leader of the Watch and Ward Society must be, in the light of his words. Nor is he completely damned by so being. Such people may sometime enjoy their Miltonesque heaven where the inhibitions of today become the exhibitions of a celestial tomorrow, and one can play on the harps of a divine reward while less consistent devotees of moral restraint suffer a punishment entirely fitting...
