Society was organized January t.
1907, at Ilul. IIouse, Chi,Ggy, at a
meeting presided over by Judge
Lindsey. The organization is to
be incorporated under the laws of
Illinois, and central office will be
established probably in Chicago.
Judge Lindsey teaches that real
strength is the strength to over
ct;nc owl. - do not advlsc run
ming away from evil. The only
thing We need to fight in this world
is evil. We do not want to fight
men and boys. We want to redeem
men from evil. TO make good cit-
2ens rather than criminals. We are
trying TO bring out the good that
is in men, the noblcst emotions Of
tho humnn heart; to remember
that, while love without justice
tany be sentiment aud weakness,
there can be no justice without
lcvp. -
~ am asked, what is the chief
cause Of crime?' can answer from
personal experience that it is the
,tluor traffic. Two hundred thous-
and boys are being brought 10 jail
every year. two million children are
thrust into industrial slavery and
unnumbered homes broken and ruin
ed chiefly from this evil. The
cause of the misfortune of child
ren can always be told in advance

When Margaret Dye Ellis told
Senator al Washington that we
have trusted woman in every
county Of every state to carry for
ward our work, she spoke only
simple and grand truth; that truth
is further impressed by perusal
of the National Minutes. The re-
ports Of superintendents cf depart.
ments, gathered from all parts Of a
territory so vast and representing o
people so diversified, are an inspir-
alton. II would pay to call the at
iention Of thinking men and bust
ness people TO these reports. They
give an inliling of the scope, cX.
