Addams, as told to the Newspaper Enterprise Association, discusses the murder of unwed mother Rosa Stoble and argues for love and sympathy rather than punishment and stigma. This article was syndicated and published in many newspapers in March and April.

Bates offers Addams his opinions on A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil.

Lindsey writes Addams to explain a campaign to discredit his work to regulate crime against women.
