AMERICAN vs.. UsANIAN.

Editor FL PasO Herald.
The Usanian writes in The Herald Of
the 18th instant that the common old
American attempts to argue. Not so.
he only states facts and the law, as
he does not argue.
Away back in American history we
find the American colonies of Great
Britain Some time before 1776 the
American colOnists, about and before
the time of the big tea party, were
taxed far too heavy than freedom and
their rights were tempered with. They,
in 1875. concluded to fight They did
so. At least CORVALLIS and the Brit
dropped the colony part also the Great
Britain part. and the result at York
town gave them the right to drop all
the old title or retain the part they
wished. They thought that just plain
America was good enough. and it was
and their descendants and others were
proud of the name and upheld il with
honor since 1875.
Many Canadians do call themselves
Americana Canadians with perfect
right. Also any Mexican is entitled to
be called anything their Mexican gov
eminent may, with their consent, de-
sire to call or name them. The same
is true in Europe and the different
nations thereof. All governments have
the right to name and may treat
with other governments under that
name and make treaties.
I viii say, Mr. Usanian. American
history and its traditions are too sa-
cred to the old Americans and new
alike to change the name. Spring not
Usaniau on the American people, for

American always respects his govern
ment's neighboring nations and the

THE WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC..


Editor FL PasO Herald:
In your editorial on the White
Slave Traffic" l notice Mr.. Wicker
sham is quoted as saying: 1t is be-
Heved the act is having salutary
effect"
To put traffickers in girls behind
the bars is no doubt helpful, as it gets
rid of so many bad men for time
but as far as having any "salutary
effect" on the great evil against which
the white slave act is aimed, il IS Sn
absolute failure.
IF an ant began the work of re
moving Mt. Franklin on January /,
1911 and on January I, 1912, had re-
moved 10 cubic inches of earth, more
or less. would the prospect Of ulti-
mate accomplishment be bright? And
yet the ant is nearer the accomplish
ment of his task than the federal gov
eminent is in mitigating the great
evils of the white slave trade in max
ing prosecutions under the white slave
act If the law has any "salutary ef-
feet" it will be to show statesmen and
the people that 1t is wholly ineffect-
What sense is there in trying to him
der the traffic in girls as long as the
mayors of all the large cities of the
land where graft rules supreme, say
the white slave is essential to the
welfare Of the community. If they
are right we ought to apply the Sher-
man law to the federal government
because it is restraining a necessary
trade.
Furthermore. what sense is there to
restraining the whOlesaling of a COM
modify as long as the retailing of that
commodity. Illegal though it be, has
the sanction of the municipal and
state governments. which is the party
in power in those municipalities and
states.
The hampering of the white slave
trader by the federal government does
not decrease the traffic one iota- The
work of the trader may be little
more difficult, but would only tend to
increase the cost of the slave. possibly
/ from $40 to S25 head. But what care
we about the increase in the cost of a
girl as long as the slave marts Of the
world are replenished? We are inter-
| ested, and the government ought to
/ be interested, in the saving of the girl,
/ and any act that does not help toward
