THOSE WHITE
SLAVE CASES

The investigation of the white slave
case at Minot has served to call at
teation to this nefarious evil again
aad to indicate that there is need OF
some action that will put stop to
tho curse in this state. Both the
state and the national laws are clear
in their definitions Of the crime and
severe in the penalties that can oe
inflicted upon those who engage In
the unholy traffic. The only thing
necessary to stop it, is to find the
c,Lprit and see that the laws are en-
forced.
From a moral standpoint, We have
been disposed to close our eyes to
the evil that lies at the foundation
Of the white slave traffic; to treat
the symptoms rather than the cause;
to control the result rather than the
source. So long as this policy is pur-
sued. the fostering sore on the body
polite will remain unhealed; will, by
its absorption poison the entire sys-
tenn, and make a heroic operation
necessary to effect cure.
Instead of discussing the curse OF
the moral code with suppressed
breath and reso1uting in fine-spun Ian
guage about the AWFUL consequences
that follow the traffic in souls, we
need to take the lothesome monster
BY the nape of the neck, pull it from
it's hiding place and swat it with the
police club of the law. Any decent
man or woman will shudder at the
idea of young girls being lured from
their homes by glittering promises Of
lives of ease and comfort; Of fine
clothes and many gems; of luxury
and idleness. The traffickers usually
seek out those whose childhood have
not been congenial or whose home
surroundings are unattractive. To
such the promises Of a stranger in

Polly Perkins, for Polly was a new
pupil, whose family had just moved in
to the neighborhood, and she was shy
of the strange playmates. Besides,
Polly's dresses We're simple pink or
blue checked ginghams, while some of
the girls wore fine white ones with
deep lace.
So Polly felt lonely. She wanted to
play tag with the rest. but they
all went off arm-in-arm walking, and
she was left unnoticed in corner OF
the playground. The little face grew sad
and often stained with tears, but Polly
kept up brave heart. She did not
wish to worry her mother, so she hid
her troubles In her own way.
Rhoda went to the same school with
Polly, but as her father was a wealthy
man, she foolishly put on airs and tried
to dress finer than any of the rest
And 1t was Rhoda who took a special
delight In snubbing Polly on account of
the little girls poverty-for some chill
dren are bad enough to do that very
thing.
one day Rhoda gave a big picnic
and invited all her classmates except
Polly. The feast was in pretty
