Traffic in Girls.

The discovery of a wholesale, sys-
tematized traffic in girls for brothels
of the cities has aroused governors of
western and southern states to emer-
gency action more generally than those
of the East, judging by their letters to
the committee on legislation which was
appointed by the Woman's World to
organize the fight against the traffic.
The need and the line of attack found
most effective have been presented to
all, but replies from executives of
Maine New Hampshire, Massachusetts
and New York do not give assurance of
any prompt remedial measures. On
the other hand Governor Wesley of
South Dakota included the white
slave traffic" among the subjects men
toned in his message and Governor
Carroll of Iowa has caused an inves-
tigatiOn to be made of the statutes to
see what new law is needed. Cover
nor Conner wrote: Il will be glad to
embody this matter in my final mes
sage and extend to my successor a rec
ommendation to join with other states
in making such traffic impossible"
Governors of Michigan, Kentucky,
Tennessee. Idaho, Mississippi. Louis
lana and other states have taken def
mite steps but in the east the COVER
nors of Maine, New York. Vermont,
Delaware and Massachusetts have not
yet made more than perfunctcry re-
sponse. Bills now pending in Mime
sofa and Illinois promise the most eff
fective state law under which the
white slavers can be punished, but a
| new federal statute is being pushed for
ward with all possible diligence, the
recent decision of the United States
! supreme court against the immigration
| law being a serious blow to great ac-
| tivity by the federal prosecutors.
! The spring tide of emigration to the

the political hopes Of centuries.
He then gave a mastery sketch Of
the conditions existing On Rome dur
ing the last hundred years Of the re
public. He told Of the several mar
tyrs who had been slain because Of
their efforts In behalf Of the common
people. He showed how tragically
the one nan Who fully understood the
conditions had been instrumental IN
bringing about the establishment OF
an absolute government. how julius
Caesar. an aristOcrat by birth. a popu-
list I'm principle. had in the defense
Of the liberty and rights Of the PEG
pie found IL necessary 90 use methods
which finally led 60 absOlutism. Had
he lived fifty years he might have
saved the republic; as IL va he help
"a on its decline.
In the same way insidHOus enemies
we're attacking our republican institu-
tiOns. Attacked In time Il was pos
sible 10 overcome them. But II these
enemies be allowed fun sway for a
period Of years, the very friends of
the people might by their efforts ad-
vance aristOCratic rule. We should
count the cost Of every gain for the
people.
In particular he besOught his hear
ers 20 study the questions arising
from the conflict between aTistOcTatic
and democratic views. Let them Op-
pose themselves 20 all attempts OF
individuals 60 gain special privileges.
And above all az present let them
study the workings Of protective tar

A second principle that ought 90 BE-
manfully sustained was that Of Home
Rule-home rule for the community
for the county. for the State. In spe-
cial privileges, home rule. these
would help 90 preserve our demo
cratic government
In conclusion he urged the import
ance OF one sentiment. idealism. Let
the young men form high ideals In
politics. and. regardless Of oOnse-
quences. strive valiantly 20 enforce
the workings OF these ideals. Thus
would democratic principles BE- main
tanned. Let Us rise above party. let

How Barrett
Interviews LaborerS

Dick Barrett, of Glenburn who
farms a thousand acres or more OF
land, has to deal with all classes of
farm laborers, and it's interesting to
hear how Dick interviews them, when
they first turn up on the scene OF the
farming operations. A husky looking
chap came from the eastern part OF
the state to the Barrett farm, where
he had been engaged to work. To
mike sure what his duties were to ba,
and 70 be sure that he wasn't going
to be overworked, he asked Mr.. Bar
rett: "Do have to do chores on Sun
day." Barrett said that he would not
need to. Would he have to help milk?
No, the man need not milk the COW.
And, if you are tired in the morn
ing, you can lie in bed and rest, If
you DESIRE" Barrett continued, "for
my wife will curry the horses, har-
ness them, and look after your other
chores, for all she has to do in the
morning, is to get breakfast for a doz-
en- men," Barrett finally told him
that he had made a mistake in coming
to his farm, but he knew of kind old
gentleman who wanted chore boy,
and advised him to go there and look
for a job.
