enacts will ever prevent the crimes.
GOOD MORAL TRAINING.
is the only practical safeguard against
vice As a matter of fact, woman is
responsible for her own downfall
There are exceptions, but the "other
side is generally a very lame story.
The great Christian community is re-
sponsible for not holting out the hand
of mercy; but, if she be woman in
deed, she will rise again. Vice never
becomes deep rooted in good sofia
pure heart. As much may be said of
budding manhood And yet this
soil too often becomes sterile; moral
training is neglected and sometimes
perhaps rejected 1t is this barren
soil, these stubborn hearts, Congress
would cultivate with the dry, old law.
1t is worthy of Draco.
MANY WORTHY GIRLS
have gone down, never to rise They
were pushed out, let loose, before they
knew what life was, much less morali-
ty. Nobody pities them; you will !;
we shall. But there are girls, at this
Capital, who are working the bloom
out of their checks, the health out of
their bodies, and the skin from their
fingers No work of Congress could
ever make girl do this. No body
pities them you will we shall. Yes
if you have a heart at all, your eyes
will swell with honest tears as YOU
gaze on this toiling, pure, " budding
womanhood." What can law OF
