SOME NEW DEPARTURES
 ADVERTISING PURPOSES
The Mercantile company's Sale Was
 Great Success.

Within the last week the Arizona Mercantile has established a reputa- ton for doing new things. The first was the selling of sugar in dollar lots at a price below cost. Yesterday the store did another thing quite out of the ordinary. Between the hours of F and l, free lunch was served. Both of these occurrences were due to the fact that the store has been having a weeks clean sweep sale and to attract a good crowd, these means were resorted to. In addition to this plan, a liberal portion of printers ink was used, the result being that the sale was a gratifying success in ev- cry particular. It came to a close last night, but the store promises some weekly offerings each Saturday. Watch the firms advertising space in The Republican for particulars from time to time.

Use of Interstate Commerce.

Among other things the report says:
1.-THE use of Interstate commerce in
sending prostitution from one state to an
other In connection with this traffic in
women would seem to be as directly con-
nected with interstate commerce as the
sending Of tickets from one state to an
other in furtherance Of operation Of a
.ottery. So far Congress has not enacted
legislation to insure the carrying out of
the provisions of the international treaty
for the suppression of the traffic.
THE proposed legislation is needed to
put stop to villainous interstate and
international traffic in women and girls
not needed or intended as an aid to the
states in the exercise of their police
powers in expressing or regulating i'm
morality In general. 1t does not attempt
to regulate the practice of voluntary
prostitution, but aims solely to prevent
panderers and procurers from compelling
thousands of women and girls against
their will and desire to enter upon and
continue in a life of prostitution.

TO. CRUSH THE EVIL
Mann "White Slave Traffic"
: Bill Reported.
ITS PROVISIONS EXPLAINED
Interference With State Police Pow
ers Disclaimed.
NOT REGULATOR OF MORALS
Designed to Prevent the Use of In
terstate Commerce in the Prose-
cution Of the Traffic.
NOT REGULATOR OF MORALS

Tie Mann white slave traffic" bill,
recently agreed on by the House commit.
tee on interstate and foreign commerce,
was favorably reported to the House to-
day by Chairman Mann of that commit
tee.
Chairman Mann said today that he did
not know just when the bill would be
brought up on the floor OF the House. eli
declared there was no reason for any
clash between the committees, and that
best possible way, which he believed was
through his bill. was all that was sought.
Rights of States Respected.
The report accompanying the presenta-
ton Of the measure distinctly dsclaims
any purpose to interfere with or usurp
in any way the police powers OF the
states, and declares the provisions of the
bill to be mostly based on the power Of
Congress over interstate and foreign
commerce. 1t also recognizes that in
part the measure embraces legislation
In furtherance Of the international agree
ment for the suppression Of the traffic.
1t says a careful examination Of the
Constitution. the authorities and decided
cases shows that the provisions depend
ent upon the commerce clause OF the
Constitution are constitutional.
The bill, says the report, does not en-
deavor to regulate, prohibit or punish
prostitution or the keeping of houses Of
prostitution. those being matters wholly
within the powers of the states. It has
been shown, on the other hand accord
ing to the report, that persons engaged
in the white slave traf1c In some OF the
large cities felt free to work as be-
tween the states, but hesitated about en-
gaging In the traffic when wholly con-
fined to one state.

Results OF Investigation.

The results of careful investigation
disclose that the inmates Of many houses
of ill-fame are made up largely Of women
and girls. whose original entry into a life
Of immortality was brought about by men
in the business Of procuring women for
that purpose-nen whose sole means of
livelihood Is the money received from the
sale and exploitation Of women, who. by
means Of force and restraint compel
their victims to practice prostitution.
These women are practically slaves in
the true sense OF the word. Many are
kept in houses of ill-fame against their
will, and IL necessary force Is used to
deprive them Of their liberty. The VIC
Tins are those women and girls who, III
given q fair chance. would In all human
probability have been good wives and
mothers and useful citizens. Liquor,
trickery. deceit, fraud and the use of
force are ree0rted to by the procurer to
place the girl under his power
