Gathering information along the line
of white slave traffic in tn" South,
has organized The Southern Rescue
Mission with headquarters in At
lanta, and with the privilege Of es-
tablishing branches throughout the
country, with the sole object IN
view of driving out of existence the
tramc in girls which he claims is
reaching alarming proportions. The
in cOrporators are A. w. Elliott of
Atlanta, P. V. Hollingsworth of Au-
gusta, and Rev. Lamar Sims of Al
bany.
Mr.. Elliott's long and varied expe-
rience in this work of rescue has
given him a knowledge of true con-
ditions as but few possess, and he
states that the slaughter of human
souls has become wholesale, and
that unless steps are taken to break
up this traffic and help the girls
break loose from their slavers (who
are holding them either by their af7
lection or through fear that we are
not freedom loving nation, and
that we do not sympathize with the
oppressed.
Mr.. Elliott states that there are
thousands of worthless men in the
South who do practically no work
and wear the finest clothing, and
that their daily and nightly vocation
is gambling Their money and the
very food they eat is furnished them
by girls whom they hold in their
grasp, either through their affection
or fear. And he further says that
these "pimps" OF cadets" are not
only holding Ito death" these poor
"mother's girls" - crushing them
down into the depths of moral de-
generacy, but great many OF them
are lying in wait, as a deadly viper
would, to strike their fangs to the
| hearts of the young, innocent and
Ithoughtless girls Of our country
girls whom we would be proud Of
girls whom we need to be the moth
ers of future generations. He says
| further that this traffic is increas-
ing in alarming proportions, and
that steps should be taken at once
to break it up. IF our laws" he
says, ARE not sufficient to handle
the situation, let more drastic meas
ures be enacted. Make laws thai
will protect the young and innocent
from the snares of these life anc
purity destrOyers.
| "A great many of these pimps OF
white slavers are known to many o:
the officers of the law, and why d.
they not handle them? Why will
tthey sacrifice the young of our ma
i ton rather than do their duty?"
l Mr.. Elliott states that this organ
ization will begin fearless fight OF
these destroyers Of purity, and tina
this fight shall extend over tn
Southern States, and he makes al
appeal to this liberty loving peopl
, to stand with him in this fight

THE EVOLVED CAUCASIAN
AND HIS SOCIAL SYSTEM
To the Editor of THE TINES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
The founding of the American Repub-
lie was an important step in the prog
ress of the Caucasian race. But among
the causes of retardation I'm the new re-
public one was the presence OF the ne
gro. and what was worse. he was a
slave. His presence, OF course, was not
his fault
Down to about the time of the Ameri-
can revolution negro slavery had ex.
listed in the colonies. both North and
South, for more than a century. Dur
ing that time ii had proved unproht-
able in the North. but profitable In the
South. 1t was not until after II had
proved Improbable In the North that II
was abolished there, and II was not un-
iii II proved continuingly profitable In
the South that there was any serious
discussion in the North for its abolition
in the South.
The real basis of the abolition move
ment that preceded our civil war was
envy of the STAKEHOLDER, although Its
ostensible basis was sympathy for the
slave. The real basis of the slayehold-
er's position was a despotic passion for
power, although the ostensible basis was
the so-called right to private property
But the position of neither side was
urged as duty to the Caucasion race

1 WORD TO THE PRESUM-
ABLY WISE.

A few days ago elections were held
in the cities of Ohio, and people have
been ever since trying to analyze the
results and determine what they mean.
One of the most significant results,
though one which has tBesived little
outside attention thus fas, is of es-
pecial concern to the people. and the
public service corporations of Wash
ington. W..
For years the people of Cleveland
have been in controversy with vari.
GUS of their service corporations. AT
the recent election they had submitted
to them, for vote, proposition to
establish great municipal electric
lighting plant.
Why did they want itH
Because the arrogance and unfair
ness of the long established corpora.
tions in that business had earned de
termined hostility of the people.
What chance did they have to get it
Presumably, little; for Cleveland's
charter had been fixed, back in the
days of tory control, SO that it re
quired two-thirds vote to adopt sucl
program. At the time when that
provision was inserted, it was sup
posed eflectually to kill all possibility
of municipal ownership.
What happened in the election two
weeks ago?
There were cast 1000 votes on thi
municipal ownership proposition, anC
it had the necessary two-thirds ma
jority AND $4,000 TO SPARE!
Is there, in that statement, any il
Illumination, for our street railwa!
managers, of the safe course for then
to pursue in the controversy over uni
versal transfers in Washingtons

is past when public sentiment, publ
