in Paris for the suppression of the worldwide

Sort representing the leading countries, is to be
held in Frankfort .on.th main next October.
The original policy Of reserve on the subject of
the soul traffic has been abandoned, as such re-

commerce, who are we'll organized. have large
financial resources, and have built up system
of perfect adaptability to their ends. Says the
Frankfurter Zeitung:
"'The traffic in maidens is nowadays as we'll
organized as was in a former period the trade
in negro slaves. 1t has its exchanges, bureaus
of distribution, agents and price lists. In the
latter, the quotations vary according to the
country of origin. Only the Jewish article re-
n aims at uniformly high price. Even into
Russia, where the entrance of Jewish women
is forbidden, the importation of Jewish maidens
is extraordinarily great, for the agents of the
commerce have found in Hamburg clergyman
to baptize the victims. Other ways and means
are found to smuggle in the unfortunates. It.
ally serves the agents as a peculiarly available
transit station
"The charge is made with crcumstanciality
that the Camorra of Naples, the italian Tam

GREAR BRITAIN'S ALLIANCE WITH AN
AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY.

From Hearst's chicago American
Let us always praise our American nation
and rejoice in our superiority to the whole world
but let us not lose sight of certain important
details
For instance, one difference between the gov
ernment of Great Britain and the government
OF the United States is this
The government of Great Britain is really
run largely in the interest of the public, inan-
cially and otherwise.
The government of the United States, as
everybody knows, is run largely in the interest
of big financial co icerns, trusts and corporations
+ If you doubt this statement study an arrange
ment which Great Britain has just completed
for sending parcels to the United States through
the postofice.
All over England, parcels are sent through
the postofice at nominal rate, much TO the ad-
vantage of commerce and of private economy.
Such an arrangement would exist IN this
country except for the fact that it would wipe
out the enormous profits that come from extor-
tionate charges of express companies.
The government of Great Britain has just
completed an arrangement for extending its par
cells post system to the United States. Do you
know how it has done that?
1t has done it not by any arrangement with
the people of the United States, the American
government or the American postoffice, but by
an arrangement with an American express
company.
The Britisher sends his parcel through the
British postofice. Itreaches the United States,
is taken in hands by private express company
and forwarded to its destination.
An Englishman can send three pound pack
age from London to Chicago for twenty-four
cents. An American must pay twice that
amount to send the same package from New
York to Chicago.
In this briet statement of the alliance between
foreign government and an American express
company you will find something to think about
if you are at all interested in government own
ership Of public necessities and monopolies.

TRUSTS ARE NATIONAL SCHOOL TEACHERS
And The Strikes Are Their Lesson.

From IIearst's Chicago American
Look at the coal strike, the opinions that it
calls forth, and notice how respectfully dances
and hops from one foot to the other when the
RESPECTABLE shoe pinches and the respect
able toe suffers.
A little while ago the man who spoke against
trusts and general monopolies OF public necess-
ties was called demagogue, socialist, anarchist
inciter of the masses against the classes, and
so on.
But along comes the Beef Trust and begins
to punish even the respectable upper classes.
Double prices for food mean serious difference
even in very respectable income.
Then YOU have the responsibilities also sud-
deulv developing signs of demagogism, and an
archy.
Thev want the tariff taken off of foodstutts.
Thev want the managers of the Food Trust put
in Jail.
The Beef Trust teaches the nation one iuter-
estinq lesson-namely, that by excessive eXtor-
ton. the trusts will lose soon their respectable
{ lends and unite all of the people against 'hem.
The Beef Trust also teaches thatthe language
called socialistic and anarchisic, when confined
to working people, becomes profound political
economy when uttered by soma respectabllity
with pinched toe.
The Coal Trust is later and even more
radical national teacher.
The respectable person who short time ago
could see no difference between advocating gov
ernment ownership of national resources and
communism or thevery has seen wonderful
light while gazing on caol fire at Ten Dollars
ton.
Judges ON the bench, eminently respectable
newspapers-by which we mean those newspa-
pers representing the interests of men who
think with their pockets--are expressing the
most radical out-and-out socialistic ideas.
One of the mildest suggestions made BY lhesr
responsibilities is that the government should
seize the coal mines and work them for the
benefit of the people, setting aside the prepos-
terous claims of the Coal Trust
Papers like the Springfield Republican, the
ph;ladelphia Ledger and other solemn organs
OF antiquity are advocating, without knowing
= ideas which mean inevitably universal gov
arrmeut ownership of monopolies.
The Coal Trust as public educator is an un
ao,bted success-rnore of success than it woult
,;,,e TO be if it could understand the nature o
itsteachings.

THE TRAFFIC IN WOMEN.

From the Coming Nation,
In its August a3d issue, The Literary Digest,
the leading literary periodical of America, and
which cannot by any stretch of the imagina-
ton, be called sensational, prints the following
startling article:
$50 profoundly stirred is European opinion

recent conference in Paris, adding: America
is most important way station for the traffic
in these white wares. 1t has been repeatedly
proved that traders supply themselves with false
passports in oider by means Of them to practice
the most ingenious deceptions upon females
whom they accompany to the New World"
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-09-12

Many men in this world hated their teachers
while they were being whipped in the od-fash-
ioned way, but now look back with gratitude
to those same teachers and those same whip
pings.
Our national teachers, the trusts, are severe
teachers. Their lessons are hard lessons, and
they believe i'll very unpleasant forms of corpo-
raj MISUNDERSTANDING hunger and cold up
on their pupils
This nation in time will look back with graf
itude to the lessons and to the whippings of the
trusts.
The trusts teaching us inevitably that
competition is antquated that organization is
the real basis of industry. They are teaching
that it is feasible and necessary for the nation
to take possession of and manage its own prop
critics, industrial as we'll as others.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-09-12

If the government has right to seize coal
mines and work them for the people, as respec-
liability now declares, why has it not right to
seize railroads, telegraphs and all the other in
dustries whose value depends entirely upon tie
national population?
