FELLOW CITIZENS
PROTECT OUR WOMEN. .

A committee of safety should
be organized in our community, in
fact, in every city and county in
the union, for the purpose of pro-
tecting the honor and purity of our
women. 1t is becoming too COM
mon now for "men" CD to insult
and Islander our wives, daugh-
tiers and sisters on the street, and
no pure, innocent girl is safe or
entirely free from assault,
in some manner, and par
ticularly if it be some poor
girl with a pretty face and
vOluptuOus form, who may possibly
have to work for her living. She
will be a prey to every lecherous
beast, calling himself man. All
manner of traps are laid to ensnare
pure girl, and ruin her. Aided
in their evil work are lot OF dis
reputable women, some of them
pretending to move in decent
circles, who are really worse and
more dangerous to society and
good morals than the cOmmOnest
harlot living i'm public houses of
prostitution.
The law cannot be too severe on
this class of offenders, and the
LIGHT would like to see steps
taken, by some organized effort
to wipe out this dangerous evil. If
the law does not better protect our
women the days of southern chiv-
airy and the shot gun" will come
into vogue again.
