So deep has been the shock to London society caused by the recent revelations in the Oscar Wilde case that it has led to the formation
of a vigilance committee. It is startling that it is deemed necessary to resort to a special organization with witch to combat a strange, unspeakable
vice. Yet it is true. A circular has been quietly but extensively circulated for the purpose of forming what will be called the Queensberry Association.
Its aim will be the collection of a sufficient fund to commence a campaign against newly-exposed evil, to follow the clues that cropped up in the recent
proceedings and to do all that the Government ought but possibly will not do. There is nothing vindictive about the circular. It points out
dispassionately the existence of a grave public scandal which cannot be removed by the punishment of one offender. The evidence given at the Old Bailey
points to a more or less organized system of vice. This will be investigated, its ramifications traced and its foundations uprooted. The circular does not
emanate from fanatics or faddists. It is the result of patient inquiry.
So deep has been the shock to society caused by the recent revelations in the Oscar Wilde case, that it has led to a movement for the
formation of a moral vigilance committee. It is a startling commentary on the condition of the society of modern London that it is deemed necessary to
resort to a special organization with which to combat a strange, unspeakable vice. Yet it is true. The present week a circular is being quietly but
extensively circulated, for the purpose of forming what will be called the Queensberry Association. It's aim is the collection of a sufficient fund to
justify a regular campaign against the newly exposed evil, to follow the clues that cropped up in the recent proceedings, and to do all that the
Government ought, but possibly will not do. There is nothing vindictive about the circular. It points out, dispassionately, the existence of a grave
public scandal which cannot be removed by the punishment of one offender. The evidence given at the Old Bailey points to a more or less organized system
