In our cities, the housing problem, which involves to a great extent, the moral life of the masses, is acute; the white slave traffic has established its haunts and commercialized vice; the moving picture-show has become everywhere the most popular educational factor: at its school the young generation, eyes riveted on the flickering screen, is drinking in the alluring lessons of free love, divorce and every anti-Christian doctrine; our ports will soon see a new tide of immigration invade our shores; the non-catholic denominations are crumbling away under the very weight of their destructive and disintegrating principle of private judgment; we are surrounded with pagans to whom the supernatural religion of Christianity is but a name or a memory; from our great West comes the urgent cry for help, for men and money; the Church Extension, as the watchman in the night is crying out to our uninterested Catholics "the day is coming, the night is coming" meaning that the faint streak on the eastern horizon may be the last rays of a dying day or the first blush of a new dawn; . . . and what are we doing?
"The work of our precious Chamber of Commerce," he added, "though I pleaded with them for days and days." "It's a sort of thing would never do with us, sir," I said. "It's what one has to expect from a commercialized bourgeoise," he returned bitterly. "And even our association, 'The City Beautiful, of which I was president, helped to erect the thing.

Much of the fine artistic flavor of Milly's conception had already been lost. It was becoming commercialized.

What troubled Ernestine was the fact that the receipts were falling off, and the accounts were hard to collect.
The Socialists contend that commercialized vice is fundamentally a question of poverty, a by-product of despair, which will disappear only with the abolition of poverty itself; that it persists not primarily from inherent weakness in human nature, but is a vice arising from a defective organization of social life; that with a reorganization of society, at least all of prostitution which is founded upon the hunger of the victims and upon the profits of the traffickers, will disappear.
It is big business, in its way, that Carton is fighting big business in the commercialized ruin of girls, such, perhaps, as Betty Blackwell a vicious system that enmeshes even those who are its tools. I'm glad if I can have a chance to help smash it. "Now, I'll tell you what I want you to do, just so that we can start this thing with a clear understanding of what it amounts to.

And if you attempted it, with your conspiracy laws, and that kind of thing, it might bring the climax sooner than you expected. Your commercialized society has built its house on the sands.
