White Slavery.'l

Ft. Smith. Oct. 29.- Awakened by revelations of the press, the better c'ass of Fit. Smith citizen ship is considering methods to lispe.l shocking conditions close!-
 a jed to those which have been responsible for the war fare against the so called white slave traffic in many of the larger cities of (the country.
 Young gir's, particularly those from 12 to 16 years of age, have been singled out by the authort- ties and charac terized as a serious menace to the mora, health and vo 'aro of the community.
 It has not yet deve oped that there is "a systematic pan by which young women, often mere children, are dea.t with by syn dicate which furnished victims to be sod into 'white-S avery" such as obtains in New York. Chicago and Washington, but within the past year there have been cases in the courts of the city and coun.- ty which have demonstrated that defense.ess girls, in most instances country girls, but in others, high schoo. girls have been enticed to their ruin for commercial ends. Cognizance has been taken of the evil influences exerted over by first offenders by oder irr mates of jai,s by the Sebasti an county grand jury. The grand jury believes with Judge Ben Lind sey of Colorado that the jai's and the penitentiary are veritab.e schools of crime for the youth mae or female, who have taken one misstep.
 The grand jury's suggestion that other places of confinemnt other than the present places be provid- ed is in line with the modern trend of ideas as to how offenders of society should be dealt with. The jury recommends that the young gir's who are not only on the road to their own ruin but who are menacing the morals of the community should have attention locking to their reform rather than their punishment.
