THE ELECTION

THE ELECTION
The slow process of official canvass makes
it impossible to give any complete returns
or reliable estimate concerning the vote for
CHAFIN and WATKINS. However, there is
much ground for encouragement in COM
parison with the first fragmentary returns
that were received. It now appears that the
loss in Indiana is not so serious as at first
anticipated. The most reliable estimate
places our vote in that state in excess of
eighteen thousand. This means a net loss
of about five thousand, due to the terrific
efforts to secure support for the Republican
candidate. In Illinois, where four years ago
the vote was in excess of thirty-four thou
Gates that we may expect about thirty thou
sand votes The situation in Ohio has few
grains of comfort The Prohibitionists of
that state seem to have been led away in
very large numbers, and to have sacrificed
both the state and the national ticket in their
wild infatuation with local-optionism.
Upon the other hand, from many parts
Of the country returns are in the highest
degree encouraging New York still shines
as a splendid example Of what fidelity and
courage can do in the face of tremendous
odds. Pennsylvania has handsomely in
creased her vote in spite of local option
craze. Michigan and Wisconsin send good
reports from all parts. The news from Cali
fornia continues to be cheering. Colorado
has doubled her votes and in the smaller
states gain is almost universal.
1t still appears true, as we predicted last
week, that the completion of the official count
will show that the wiping out of the Prohi-
bition party was the one item of the great
politico-whisky plot which failed. Non-par-
tizan movements were beaten and routed at
almost every point, but the Prohibition party,
in the face of such stress and strain as it
never before experienced, stood fast and
swelled the volume of its protest against the
saloon and political wickedness in high
places.

THE NATIONAL PRoHIBIT1oN1sT
THE TRAFFIC IN GIRLS


United States District Attorney SIMS, found upon
other pages of this paper, can hardly fail to pro-
duce profound sensation in the mind of every
right thinking citizen Prohibitionists, who were
first to raise the alarm against this evil, cannot
otherwise than feel grati6ed that their assertions
of its existence and of its wide spread and its
serious menace receive such clear and convincing
confirmation
For the purpose of awakening sleeping public
and rousing dormant public conscience, the
article by Mr.. SIMS is most excellent; but it fails,
unfortunately, to point out numerous facts con-
corning the evil and numerous relations of the
evil to other facts and conditions which are likely
to be overlooked unless attention be called to
them.
Mr. SIMS says nothing about the relation of the
traffic in girls to the traffic in drink, but every
student of the question knows that the two are
intimately associated. At this point, perhaps, is
the association most intimate-that the traffic in
girls hides behind the corrupt political conditions
1Vhich the traffic II, drink has created and main
tainS There are other items of correlation. The
saloon and the saloon dance hall are chief among
the traps used by the slave trade The SLAYER is,
with probably no exceptions, the creature of and
the graduate from the saloon and its school of
morals. Intoxicating drink plays foremost part
as one of the agencies in the act of girl-steang,
and is one of the chief means by which the vic
Tins are kept in subsection.
Mr. SIMS fails, too (and very naturally, to
point out the guilty completely of old party ma
tonal, state and municipal government with this
terrible evil. The traffic in girls is an evil to be
laid squarely at the door of the kind of govern
ment that the Democratic and Republican parties
give us. Without official protection it could not
exist for day.
True, the national government has aroused
itself sufficiently to enact, and to make some at
tempts to enforce legislation to prevent the inter
national traffic in girl slaves; and state govern
ments have materially improved their laws in
many ways during the past three or four years;
but the situation is still disgraceful-a blistering
shame chargeable to the who control the
policies of the two great political parties.
By no means the least of the criticisms to
which the national government is open in the
matter is the fact that in the city of Washington,
under direct federal control, with the President
of the United States supreme car, the
slave markets are wide open.
Any careful student of the question knows that
in very large part the whole evil centers about
the existence of the slave market So long as
enormous vice preserves, forbidden, indeed, by
law but sanctioned by the political policies of the
parties in power, exist in all our great cities,
movements like that which Mr.. SIMS has headed
amount to very little.
There are in the city of Chicago at the present
moment dozens of slave pens from which slave
