They were the children of very
poor parents"
Such is the description Of the dozen
little girls, none over 10 years of age,
who are held in Brooklyn as wit
nesses against white slave" dealers
who held out the tempting sight OF
free moving pictures as lure for
these babes.
Such is the description most often
found whenever a look. be II casual
or thorough. is taken at the girls and
women who furnish material for this
traffic in human flesh.
So constant is this condition that the
wonder Is that long ago humanity
has not recognized the very close re
lationship between poverty and sin,
and instead Of centering its efforts to
reach ont a hand to the prodigal
daughter tried TO remove some OF
the causes.
For ~ centuries the doctrine OF
brotherhood has been taught. Cathe-
dral and humble mission have
united their voices in proclaim
ing a doctrine of love. Mountains Of
dollars have been raised TO shout the
same message across seas. Noble
lives have been sacrificed to spread
its joyous note.
And yet at the end of this time we
find that ii is possible for dozens OF
little girls in short dresses TO be sold
into a worse form Of slavery than
ever existed in the south To be in
more terrible stress than the child
widows of lndia!

To say that the tremendous. eager,
popular demand for reform must be
satisfied with-Mhat any mere party
can do toward s. little housekeeping
is expressing almighty little con
hdence in the people and an insult
to the gravity OF the situation.
Reforming a party sodden in its
sins for 80 years NAV appear much
easier 10 Mr. Garfield than 10 the
great hunter of four-legged and two
legged hvenas and other carniyora,
and II is possible that, when he gets
ready. Teddy will shoot the must
out OF the Garfield notion that the
whole question is one of uplifting the
party by its bootstraps. We hope so.

BILLION SEPTEMBER PAYMENTS
strong Current OF Cash Movement
Away from New York Factor in
Suspense Exhibited by specu-
IatiOn I'm stocks.

NEW YORK, Aug. M.-The month Of
August came 10 uull ana undressing
ciUse IN the stock market today. The dear
ings lapsed into ldieness ana prices urlleu
iisuessIy.
1he september payments will amount TO
S92, 4SS,UVO according to the computation OF
OF the estimate show that the amount is
Al2O4Y,OOO greater than in September OF last
year, with So,549,OUO OF that amount on
account Of increased dividend disburse-
ments. The growth OF prosperous condi-
lions thus implied had some effect in main
tanning the firm undertone OF the almost
hfeless market. The remainder Of the in
crease for interest account is due to the
additions to bond and note Issues since last
year.
The strong current OF the cash movement
away from New York was factor in the
suspense, in which the speculation in stocks
was held. Subtreasury operations have
taken from the banks since the last bank
statement 6,4S0,0O0 and shipments to the
interior and to Canada are being made on
a large scale.
The effect is showing in the rates for
time loans, which have been marked up a
fraction, and In the call loan market, which
is ruling appreciably firmer.
The private discount rate in Berlin de-
clined, but the action Of the London dis
count rate left opinions divided over the
probability of an advance in the official
rate Of the Bank OF England tomorrow
The character OF the testimony being Of
fered by railroad officials in the rate hear
ing before the Interstate Commerce COM
mission invites to discussion in the stock
market and to mix views as to the probable
effect on stock prices. Reading, Union Pa
cific and United States Steel again alb
sorbed the bulk of the dealings. Aggregate
sales Of all stocks fell to a total Of 10000
shares and when from this is deducted the
90, 100 shares Of the three active stocks men,
toned, the narrowness of the general mar
ket may be appreciated. There was a day
In July, 1908, when the days sales reached
only 1900 shares. TodAy's total was the
smallest for any day since.
Bonds irregular. Total sales par value,
81, $4,000. United States bonds were un-
changed on call
Member OF sales and leading quotations
on stocks were as follows:
