When we reached Summit station the train switched in

gave out that had two hours to wait, writes NJ quad

The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-11-19
TO ALL WORKERS

"The National Prohibitionist" points with pride
to the conclusive test of it's value to the party
offered in the case Of the state Of New York. In
probably no state Of the Union were conditions 10
adverse to the success Of the Prohibition party
In no state Of the Union does the party score q
more brilliant success. The methods adopted In
New York differ in one vital particular from those
adopted in any other state, in that the state COM
mittee made it It's business to that every
known Prohibitionist in the whole state regularly
received "The National Prohibitionist" for a num-
ber of consecutive weeks before the election.
We feel that the result gives us the right to
urge the extension of the circulation this paper
as matter of party WORK, more energeticalIy
than ever before. We believe that the Prohibi-
ZIONIST who keeps his own subscription paid up,
who seeks new subscribers, who makes 1t his busi-
ness to see that every Prohibtionist his neigh
borhood reads the paper, Is doing the best work
that can be done.
We again invite the attention Of all subscribers
whose subscriptions expire with this month to
the desirability Of prompt renewal. We urge all
workers to note with the subscriptions getting
plans which detailed elsewhere and to aline
themselves with us promptly possible for
the carrying out of the work that must at once
be done.

care what happens SO long they don't know
the truth about me- In a word, the one con-
Germ of nearly all those examined who have
homes in this country was that their parents
and in particular their mothers-1nght dis
cover, through the prosecution of the white
slavers, that they were leading lives of shame
instead of working at the honorable callings
which they had left their homes and come to
the city to pursue. There are, to put it mildly,
hundreds-yes, thousands-of trusting mothers
in the smaller cities, the towns, the villages
and farming communities of the United States
who believe that their daughters are getting
on fine" in the city and too busy to come home
for visit or ito write much," while the fact
is that these daughters have been swept into
the gulf of white slavery-the worst doom that
can befall woman The mother who has al
lowed her girl to go to the big city and work
should find out what kind of life that girl is
living find out from some other source
than the girl herself No matter how good
and fine girl she has been at home and how
complete the confidence she has always in
spired find out how she is living, what kind

of girls as the great packing houses do in the sale
of meats, it is wholly probable that their daugh-
ters would not now be in dens of vice and almost
utterly without hope of release excepting by the
hand of DEATH
Is this, then, reason enough for little plain
speech to parents?
$50 girls taken within the last four weeks in Chi
cago houses of i'll repute leads to believe that
not fewer than fifteen thousand girls haze been
imported into this country in the last year
a0]aite Slaves. Of course this is only guess-an
approximate-t could be nothing else-but my
own personal belief is that it is conservative
guess and well within the facts as to numbers.
Then please remember that the girls imported are
certainly but mere fraction of the number re-
crnated for the army of prostitution from home
fields, from the cities, the towns, the villages of
our own country There is no possible escape
from this conclusion
Another significant fact brought out by the
examination of these girls is that practically
that her real name be withheld from the public
because of the sorrow and shame it would
bring her parents. One said "My mother
thinks I'm studying in a stenographic school,"
another stated, my parents in the country
think | have good position in department
store-as did have for time-and I've sent
them little money from time to time; don't

There are some things so far removed from
the lives of normal, decent people as to be SIM
ply unbelievable by them. The white slave trade
of today is one of these incredible things The
calmest, simplest statements of its facts are al
most beyond the comprehension or belief of men
and women who mercifully spared from con-
tact with the dark and hdeous secrets of "the
under world" of the big cities.
You would hardly credit the statement, for
example, that things are being done every day in
cities of this country in the white slave traffic
which would, by contrast, make the Congo slave
traders of the old days appear like Good Sa-
maritans. Yet this figure is almost literal truth.
The man of the stone age who dubbed the woman
of his desire into insensibity or submission was
little short of high-minded gentleman when
contrasted with the men who fatten upon the
white slave traffic in this day of social settle

Naturally, wisely, every parent who reads this
statement will at once raise the question: "What
excuse is there for the open discussion of such
revolving condition of things in the pages of
household magazine? What good is there to be
served by Haunting dark and disgusting sub
ject before the family crcle?"
Only one-and that is reason and not an ex-
cuse! The recent examination of more than two
hundred white slaves by the office of the United
States district attorney at Chicago has brought to
light the fact that literally thousands of innocent
girls from the country districts are every year
entrapped into a life of hopeless slavery and
degradation because parents in the country do
not understand conditions as they exist and how
to protect their daughters from the white slave
traders who have reduced the art of running
young girls to national and international sys-
tenn. | sincerely believe that nine-tenths of the
year snatched from lives of decency and compare
tive peace and dragged under the slime of an
existence in the white slave world have no idea
that there is really trade in the ruin of girls as
other products of the farm. If these parents had
known the real conditions, had believed that there
is actually syndicate which does as regular as
steady and persistent business" in the ruination
