cause of the pressure brought upon
her by her husbands relations that

Commencing organizations which are
working against the traffic in white
slaves and calling upon President
Roosevelt and the government to
unite with other nations in suppress
ing this increasing evil by signing the
treaty now in effect between many
other countries, resolution intro
duced by Rev. NJ. p. Boynton, Of Chi
cago, was unanimously passed by the
northern Baptist convention today 1t
says:
Whereas the traffic in Womcnhood
and girls, commonly called the white
slave traffic, is increasingly active in
our large cities, proof Of which IS
seen in the conviction and imprisOn-
ment Of many persons, for the crime
Of Turing young woman to the cities
by promises of employment only to
sell them to houses Of shame, wherc
in many cases. they are held in help
less slavery, and.
Whereas our nation is awakening
to this dread evil and organizations
are forming in various places viz; the
national vigilance committee with
headquarters in Baltimore, Md, and
the Illinois Vigilance association with
headquarters in Chicago.
..Therefore be it resolved by the
Nortbarn Rantist in annual session at
Oklahoma City, OklOhoma:
81 That we commend such orga-
nizatione rs purpose to the destruc-
ton of this evil.
"2 Thai we most respectively urge
nnon President Roosevelt the high
amy and desirabiItty of our govern
ment uniting with other nations to
suppress this traffic by agreeing to the
traatv already signed by every ciyiIiz-
ed government but ours, which unites
Christendom in the effort to abolish
this traffic in its international phases.
.'3. That we encourage parents
pastors, teachers and editors to in

sacred laws of life and health so that
the rising generation may walk in the

keep themselves in power by such
machine methods as are in use in many
a great American city. The Third Re-
public remains stable and wonderfully
prosperous because it is truly repre-
sentative of the French people and
represents popular conscience.
A very little study, however, will
show that never in the history of the
world was there a more magnificent
record than that of the conscience of
the American people. 1t is high time
to say this. Fix your attention on any
page of history and the fact thrusts it
self on your attention.
Take the Philippine. question That
1t was an honest effort to help an op-
pressed people is not the point. The
point is this: When and where did any
people so insist upon righteousness and
mercy, by political platforms, by news
papers and magazines, by sermons and
even by wayside conversations?
And now when we all talk of land
grabbers and timber thieves and Rookie
feller and Hartman. and when we can
see kindred evils in every community,
there is need to recognize that there is
popular conscience that enobles the
majority of our homes.
All men fail somewhere. Where one
fails another stands the test; so that
with individual weakness there is a
common strength. All in all there
are yet too many men incorruptible by
gold or lust of power, to warrant the
wall of our magazines.

ED. INDEPENDENT:
Already started homeward is rather
late to be writing you of a summer
trip East. The fact is there has been
so much to enjoy, and so much that
might have been of interest to Delta
friends, that feel quite able to sympa-
thize with the man in the lower berth
of whom you may have heard.
AS the story goes, two friends were
sharing section in sleeper. To the
man in the lower, it was first expert
ence. His friend noticing some dis
turbance below, called down to know if
the berth was not satisfactory.
1.-The berth is all right" was the
reply, "but can't seem to get into the

4 Popular Conscience

In short article on this subject it is
so few words as endanger its clearness.
There is this danger also that when
party lines are strictly drawn. men are
so sensitive as to fancy something
factional or partisan, just as some find
something personal in a preachers
sermon.
The subject is the important one in
politics to day. 1t is either with the
politician, "How can we blind the pop
ular conscience? or, with the statesman;
How can we arouse it?"
Many magazine articles seem to have
bilious attact that sees nothing on
any side but graft and fraud, while
most politicians of the second rank
shut their eyes to approaching evil;
like business men incompetent to run
their business well, some of whom see
ruin in every step, while others are op-
timists, and being sure that everything
will turn out well, neglect to watch
their expenditures and squander their

ers and writers seem scarcely to have
read history, or there would be less
clamor on the one hand and chicanery
on the other: For there are times in
every nation that closely parallel each
crisis we pass through, when the
strength and weakness of human nat
ure are similarly displayed.
France is the most striking by reason
of the sharp contrasts that arise. The
ruin of the monarchy at the Reign OF
Terror was finally accomplished by the
money kings of that day, and the pc
culiar methods used in the king e
treasury. The next monarchy was
ruined by the trickery in every depart
ment of government. The First Re
