"Corrupt literature is doing more today for the disruption of
domestic life than any other cause. Elopements; marital intrigues; sly
correspondence; fictitious names given at post office windows; clandestine
meetings in parks, and at ferry gates, and in hotel parlors; and conjugal perjuries
are among the damnable results. There is always something suspicious about a
bad book. I never knew an exception something suspicious in the index or style
of illustration. This venomous reptile almost always carries a warning rattle. Leprous
books! Scout your house to find out whether there are any of these adders
coiled on your parlor center table, or coiled amid the toilet set on the
dressing table. I adjure you before the sun goes down to explore your family
library with an inexorable scrutiny. Remember that the bad book or bad picture
may do the work for eternity."
