while she is in debt to the keeper and she is
never allowed to get out of debt-at least until
all desire to leave the life is dead within her.
IThe examinations of witnesses have brought
Out the fact that not many of the women in
this class expect to live more than ten years
after they enter upon their voluntary or in
voluntary life of white slavery Perhaps the
average is less than that. Many die painful
deaths by disease, many by consumption but
it is hardly beyond the truth to say that sui
eide is their general expectation. well all
come to it sooner or later" one of the wit
nesses remarked to her companion in the jail,
the other day, when reading in the newspaper
of the suicide of girl inmate of notorious
house.
A volume could be written on this revolving
subject, but have no disposition to add sim
gle word to what will open the eyes of parents
to the fact that white slavery is an existing
condition. system of girl hunting that is ma
tional and international in its scope, that it
literally consumes thousands of girls-clean
and innocent girls-every year; that it is oper-
ated with a cruelty, barbarism that gives
new meaning to the word fend; that it is
an imminent peril to every girl in the country
who has a desire to get into the city and taste
its excitements and it's pleasures.
The facts have stated are for the awaken
ing of parents and guardians of girls. If were
to presume to say anything to the possible
victims of this awful scourge of white slavery
it would be this: "Those who enter here leave
hope behind" the depths of debasement and
of suffering disclosed by the investigation now
in progress would make the flesh of seasoned
man of the world creep with horror and shame

THE NATIONAL PRoH1B1T1oN1sr
League Trapped the Voters of New YorA-Dr.
Russell in the Role of Le-Nailer

The National Prohibitionist is in receipt of
numerous letters from clergymen in New York
and other eastern states, accusing this paper
of deliberate falsehood in the matter of the
statement which it made to the effect that
Governor Hughes of New York was at one
time director in liquor selling company.
The provocation for these letters seems to be
a circular sent out by the Rev. Dr. Howard H.
Russell, the New York superintendent of the
Anti-Sa1oon League and the founder of that
rganzation-sent SO far be learned,

Fuller, the governors secretary, in which the
truth of the statement is admitted; namely,
that Mr.. Hughes, from March, 1902, to May,
1908, member of the board of directors
of what Mr.. Fuller calls "the Thomas McMul-

Valuable Testimony

From the Birmingham, Alabama Ne7us, Nov Al
There were large crowds the streets of Birmingham
all day yesterday The usual encouragement to celebra
tons of noisy character with opportunities for dse1de
and trouble would have been in evidence with the open
saloon. Despite all the crowds and all the excitement
there few for disorder, little disturb
of any kind personal alterations, rowdyism
no accidents, nobody hurt Women and children mingled
with the crowds the streets night and read the
election bulletins in front of the newspaper offices with
out annoyance.
This is not the first time Prohibition has proven

streets of Birmingham when of unusual interest
bring great crowds and excitement higher than
usual Under the operation of Prohibition Birmingham

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

MT. Rudderham, umpire, had his trou- ble. He is a tall, slim person with Sherlock Holmes cast of countenance, bur he betrays few signs of detective ability , when it comes to balls and strikes. He tries to be another Silk O'Loughlin, yelp- ing out his decisions with all the pepper imaginable, and shouting Come on boys!' the minute that the inning is over But there is difference somewhere because silk O'Loughlin makes his various decs- ions so that he gets away with them, while MT. Rudderham, who is taller than Silk and just as wide, couldn't get away with anything. All of which goes to prove that it takes hero to be an umpire New York American

 Robinson pitched for Tulane and other college teams, and was given a good rat ing in that company, but few fans thought he could jump into fast company and do so well.-New Orleans Item.

According to the best and most staple brand of dope cbtainable all discarded pleayers beat the club that once let them out, but Ginger failed to sting them the first time he went in to fling against the Barons. Instead, the Pelicans were picked of some of their most brilliant plumage and were finally sent to roost with the score standing five to nothing against them.-Atlanta Journal
