GIRLS TRAPPED BY CLEVER
FELLOWS.


Tom Taggart continues to he The
target OF rumors which are hurled
from all sides. He was called upor
some time ago to prove that his
French Lick resort was not gam
bler's retreat and now he is attempt
ing to ward off the more serious and
sinister accusation that two women
In Chicago, Mrs. Cecilia Kenyon and
Miss Barrette, were PROGRESSES in
his employ, the white slaves" OF
their making being sent to French
Lick Springs.
Tom Taggart, leader OF Democracy
and an exemplar for the young! There
has been so much unfavorable com
PARSONS by Democratic papers of Re
publican leaders that saint!iness was
being marked upon the brow of the
Democrats, while the Republicans
we're being pictured as imps out
OF Hades. After all we find that there
are bad Democrats as well as sinful
Republicans and Tom Taggart. once
head of the Democratic party. is
about as bad as rotten egg. if the
Chicago detective who testified in the
Ella Gingles case yesterday. has told
but fragment of the truth.
French Lick Springs must be a
place for race horse touts, gaudIly
dressed women and degenerates of
both sexes.
The man Of wealth who deliberately
sets about to trap young girls to sat
isfy a RIGHTEOUSNESS heightened by
high living and idleness, is as low
as human being can be- He is not
bestial because beasts know limit
TO indulgences-he is deprayed.
If Tom Taggart is dealer in white
slaves" then he is one of that numer-
GUS body of wealthy debauchers who,
as did Stanford White, plan the ruin
OF young girls just to satisfy a lust
which must eventually work their own
undoing. Stanford White had a man
sion, the interior OF which was a be.
wildering maze of mirrors, curtains
and paintings. There were secret
rooms and sound deadened walls. and
the girl WHO entered therein was Ger
tain TO come out with a-Eeight of sor-
row and burden of regrets. We arc
informed New York City has snares
esls---tes,50siod- ~ -cn. every block. These
human spiders spin a web for the
girls who are not wary and once the
inexperienced has stepped into the
siken meshes, there Is no retreat and
no escape
There arc tragedies of this kind be-
ing enacted in all the big cities ana.
French Lick Springs, though not a
city. is one of the webs. we are told.
in which Tom Taggart pursued young
girls.
The women matrons in the railroad
stations In Chicago. when they find
girls In tears and deserted. ask if the
forSaken were about to be placed In
white slavery" The practice is so
common that when girl fees from
man in Chicago. the good women with
mission of rescue to perform i'm
medtately inquire as TO whether some
low creature in the form of a man
has sought TO cast the girl into ever
lasting shame and vileness
Out on the ranges OF the West when
a bleating sheep rushes back TO the
flock. the herders know a sharp
toothed coyote or wolf has been in
pursuit, to kill and devour the help
less animal If the coyote comes with.
In gunshot. the destroyer is fred upon.
The sheepmen make relentless war in
an effort to exterminate these slayers.
These degenerates Of the cities are
the coyotes Of society and society
should make the same vigorous at
tack on them that hcrders DO ON the
Wild animals OF the western ranges
We do not advocate shooting the &u-
man hyenas or wolves or coyotes. ~
We do advocate setting the dogs /on
and bounding the last one Of tbsEh TO
