place of refuge. Do you know that
the Salvation Army takes tho girl to
the rescue home, teaches her religion
and when she has accepted Christ
and has been taught seIfcontrol and
self.support, she is then placed with
good Christian family and looked
after for years7
If. instead of two or three Salvation
Army girls. laborlng TO give the fall
en- future home. the W. c. IT. u.
and all good women should aid in this
work, is there any doubt that the re-
ward would be great?
What Is the answer OF the fallen
girl, when some one tries TO persuade
her 10 leave the life of shame? Here
IS the answer of four out OF five that
were requested to change their pres
cnt life
Its no use Every woman is
against us and. if we try To hide our
past, some one Will give us away. and
VIC will be driven from one place 10
another and then back here again.
This paper did not ask why men
should be called upon TO cleanse the
city from such crime We asked,
why ask men TO do that, while wo-
msn will not aid her fallen sister"
This paper did not blame good "wo-
men for present conditions We did.
however. blame good women for the
hopclessness of the lost girl"
II would be we'll for our critics to
quote us fully and correctly and then
there will be no chance for a misun-
derstanding
We reproduce this picture again to-
day with the exact words. There is
no excuse for anyone TO feel offend
ed at what we say, as every one
knows what is said under the picture
Is true or course, those who have
rushed into print In an effort to fast
en- on others the responsibility of
present conditions way feel chagrined
TO have the tables turned, but then
these members of the w c, T u.
committee on publicity probably have
been disappointed before.
This paper has been fair to the wo-
men OF the w c. T. Z. For years we
have given them q free department In
the Sunday and Saturday Standard.
We have never cuTtailed or blue-pen-
ciled their manuscript II was al
ways published as presented. Time
and again the temperance depart
ment cast reflections on this paper
and Its editor and manager Some of
the articles were quite raw. some
without any foundation whatever,
but we allowed the matter to pass
unnotlced as we knew the intentions
OF the committee was good and that
some one had deceived the members
But when the ladies of the w. c. T.
u print resolutions. charging a con.
dlton of affairs purely Imaginary.
they must not feel offended II they
are criticised ....
For Instance. the publisher OF this
paper is the executive head of Og-
den. For the ladies of the w, r.
u, 10 charge him with entering into
a partnership with a degraded NO
man who trafficS in the virtues OF
her sisters" Is to assert that which Is
not true. II may be the mayor does
not see his duties as some people
would Ike him to see them, but that
is no justification for charging him
With a most heinouS oifense.
1t may be that we are too sensitive
on this subject where responsibility
Is being fixed. but not any more so
than our w C T. u sisters appear
TO be since the publication of the
white Slave" picture
We must admit that Mrs. Craig
writes an able article and asks some
pointed questions which We are not
prepared TO answer 1t all shows that
the question is as live today as 1t
was when Christ was on earth It was
even a living issue in the days Of
King Solomon, and has been a burn
ing issue in all Christian lands in all
centuries. We wish the city govern
ment of Ogden could settle IT. we
wish the w. C. IT U could wipe out
the social evil We wish there was
no such thing. But-well what Is tho
remedy that win give The lost girl an
equal chance with the fallen man?
You take the fallen man TO your
home. why not the girl?
