Opposing the White Slave Traffic.

Mrs. f. n. Logsdon of this CITY.
local president of the W. G. T. u,
attended the National Purity Confer
ence III Chicago Oct. Oil, as a dele.
gate from the local organization, and
hands us the following resolutions
passed by the White Slave Section of
the conference;
Whereas, 1t has been abundantlv
demonstrated by facts presented be.
fore this conference that there exists
White Slave Traffic doing a large and
shameful business in our own country.
both by the importation of women for
commercial purposes and by the COR
ruption OF native born girls.
And Whereas, This White Slave
Traffic is encouraged and fostered
bv the illegal liberation of the Social
Evil and by police RELOCATION in many
cities, and by the comparative inac
tion and Indifference of the Religious
Public.
And Whereas, There is at this time
wide spread awakening with regard
to this horrible condition.
Be it Resolved, That as the illegal
recognition given TO the Social Evil
in many cities of the United States
is almost the sole cause of the White
Slave Traffic; that this illegal recog-
milton being a heritage from a less
enlightened past, is abhorrent to the
moral Judgment of the present gener-
alton; that the public authorities in
every city be required to bring the
moral cond ition of our cities into
harmony with the present rising senti.
ment by an energetic and constant
enforcement Of the laws against vice.
Be it Also Resolved, That we call
upon the people in all cities to do the
utmost that is possible to rescue the
victims of this awful traffic and re.
buke and punish the men and women
by whom it is maintained, including
the patrons of the resorts.
The time is ripe for a movement
that shall. in this manner. express the
pity and Indignation of the entire
public.

The New Methodist Pastor.

Rev. and Mrs. w. E. Van Burer
arrived in the city from Monticello
last week, with their household
goods, and are now nicely settled in
the parsonage. Mr.. Van Buren, comes
to the Methodist church with fine
recommendations as a strong preacher
and good all around man. He was
greatly liked III his former charge and
will no doubt be very successful in
DEBORAH. We wish for him pros.
porous passionate while among us.
From the Monticello Express we clip
the following:
Rev. W. E. Van Buren,, who leaves
Monticello for DEBORAH after a pastor
ate OF four years, will carry with him
the good wishes of not only the entire
membership of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, but of all classes of our
citizens, regardless of church affilia.
tlons. In his pastoral work he has
been particularly wise and forbearing
and he has at all times maintained
the most cordial relations with the
people OF the other churches, without
invading their privileges or church
associations.
He is a good speaker. always in.
structive and inspiring 1t is with
the sincerest regret that the Monticello
people part with him. He and his
good wife are deserving of the bless
lngs that will follow them from
Monticello.

Wounds, Bruises md Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing
TO wounds, bruises, burns and like in.
luries before inflammation sets in.
they may be healed without matura-
ton and in about one-third the time
required by the old treatment. This
is the greatest discovery and triumph
of modern surgery. Chamberlain
Pain Balm acts on this same princi.
pie 1t is an antispetic and when ap-
piled TO such injuries, causes them to
heal very quickly. 1t also allays the
pain and soreness and prevents any
danger of blood poisoning. Keep a
bottle OF Pain Balm in your house
and 1t will save You time and money
not to mention the inconvenience and
suffering such injuries entail. For
