rliye upon the earnings of those who
have fallen into their clutches.
Hitherto the procurer, the cadet
and the bully have been able to ply
their vile trades practically with i'm
punity The white slave bill will make
| those trades so difficult and dangerous
that these human beasts of prey will
not dare to run the risk of prosecution
and conviction"
Some of the provisions of the bill are
sc drastic as to be almost revolution
ary. For instance, it presupposes the
guilt of the man who is known to the
police as bully" In order to escape
| punishment he must prove his inno-
cence. Also it gives the police the
authority to arrest procurers without
warrant Heretofore many of these
young women, have been able to get
away, taking their victims with them,
while the police have been going
through the red-tape formality OF ap-
DltlnS " lIlt IledItSl uldSlSlIdlS lOI
warrants. Another important feature
is that the owner of a house whose
tenant has been convicted of turning it
into an immoral resort is held Grim
naly responsible for its continued use
for such purposes. Finally, the bill
makes procuring felony, instead of a
misdemeanor as heretofore.
Among those of Steads friends who
have been foremost in focing parlia-
ment to deal with the subject is DR..
Ettie Sayer, one of London's leading
physicians. She admits, however, that
the white slave bill is only a partial
remedy and declares that so long as
shop girls receive the miserable wages
that now prevail in London, the evil
is bound to flourish in one form or an
other
1.-The ease with which cunning and
skillful people must sometimes, with

their prey is illustrated by a recent in
cident occurring in my practice" she
said. "The patient was waitress in
the restaurant of one of the leading
dry-goods stores in the West End. She
had succumbed to the unhygienic con-
ditions under which she had been liv-
ing Her wages were $1.50 week, in
cluding her dinner. She was not al
lowed to accept tips, and out of the
$150 she had to provide her breakfast
and supper every day, all her meals
on Sunday, her lodgings, her clothes.
her laundry, and her bus fares to and
from the store. A few days later when

LOST HIS HAT But HE
CAN GET IT AGAIN

When William Shapespeare in fine
poetic frenzy dashed off that splendid
orphic Everybody Boosts a Lover
he may have been getting action on
that poetic license which the English
court had granted him, or it may be
simply that he told the truth in that
day of grace and gracelessness, and
reckoned not that there would ever be
a Spokane Inland railway and a
churlish baggageman.
The point is that Williams orphic
Tor was it Bill'sO doesn't apply to a
certain S. & |. E. train baggageman
who recently took the job, and who
more recently interrupted a most low

Spokane the cars are swept and left

or less secluded, and they have cush-

they rival that famous lovers lane

Where Work Is Needed.

We have nothing but words of praise
and commentator for the Boys and
Girls Farm Congress that is to be held
here the middle of November.
Hts purpose is to impress upon the
boys and girls that it is better for
them to remain at home than to go to
the larger cities. The belief of young
people on the farm and in the small
towns, that the olly thing for them to
do as soon as they are grown, is to go
the large cities on account of the sup
posedly wonderful opportunities there
open to them, has awakened many
people to the knowledge that the
cities are becoming over crowded and
the country and the small towns de-
populated.
Anything, therefore, that will bring
the young people to realization of
the opportunities at home and show
them that the beautiful pictures they
have had painted of their future If
they 90 to the larger cities are only
mirages, deserves the support OF every
one.
But do the young people need educa-
tion along these lines as badly as their
elders9 Wilt do much good to have
people stand up and tell the children
At public meeting that the thing for
them to do is to stay at home, II when
they are through school and ready to
take up their life's work, their parents
and friends tell them that by all means
they should go to city that they are
wasting their lives by staying at home

tyoung man or woman heref

Candidate For Representative.

G. G. o. Pence is the Republican
candidate for Representative No man
can attain and maintain public posi-
tion, State or National, without merit.
To assume that he could would be to
assert that that the people are ignorant
may be deceived for time, but sooner
or later they will distinguish the false
from the true, If false, the man goes
down II he passes successfully the
crucial test Of critical public opinion,
all the ombined powers of attraction,
envy, hatred malice and corruption
can not strike him down
G.G.O. Pence is known and respected
sby citizens all over Highland county
as an honest, intelligent and patriotic
farmer, prosperous and progressive and
with his mind stored with information
in regard to the business in which he
is engaged. He applies his knowled e
to his profession in deliberate, COM
mon sense way and has been success
full.
His father, Wesley Pence, was a
veteran Of the Civil War, being a
member 81 the 89th and l68th Regis.
and his patriotic devotion to duty
taught his son the nobility of American
citizenship.
Mr.. Pence is at present a trustee OF
New Market township and an earnest
and devout church worker and is in.
tensely interested in Sunday School
work.
While a life long Republican, his
genial good nature and ardent friend
ship for all classes has male hin
friends among members of all parties
in this county. Thanks to free govern
ment we have no hereditary nobility,
but we have a nobility far above any
that earthly title can give, the nobi ity
God impresses on an honest man. The
nobility to do right as he understands
the right to be.
1t was not a mistake when G. G. o.
Pence was nominated. Vote for him.

Constitution, their work should not
be further handicapped by the un-
necessary overturning of the Auditors
Office, so closely allied in every re-
spect to the Legislative branch. The
leaving of this Office intact will at
once throw to the help of the Legisla-
ture all the support OF its present or
ganization without any of the in
effectiveness necessarily due to the
disturbance Of change of admins
tration.
1t is time the people of Ohio would
recognize honest, clean, nonpartisan
and efficient work on the part of their
public officials, and show their ap-
probation by placing the stamp of ap-
proval, in casting their votes for Mr..
Fullington for Auditor of State, with
out regard to political party.

There is no excuse for any Progress
sive in Highland county not voting
for every man on the Republican
county ticket These men were NOM
mated at the May primary. The pri-
mary was fairly and honestly conduct
ed. In that primary the Progressives
cast more than 200 more V tes than
the supporters of President Taft.
This really makes the Progressives
under greater obligations to support
these candidates than the Conserva
tivss as they are responsible for their
nomination In addition, we believe,
that it is one of the cardinal principles
of the Progressive Party to support
able and competent men, men of known
integrity for office. We only ask
thoughtful consideration Of the quail
fications of the Republican candidates
and comparison with their oppo-
nents. Do this and you will vote for
the candidates on the Republican
county ticket if you are real Progress
Sive.

The Sensible Thing To Do.

For years the statement has been
made that the trouble with the con-
duct of public affairs has been that
they have not been carried on upon
the same basis as private concerns ;
and that only when this was done
would public affairs be conducted as
they should be. We believe that this
is a sensible proposition.
On all sides one can hear il said that
the business of Highland county was
never more efficiently, honestly and
faithfully performed than by the
present set of officials, who are now in
the Court House. j. Ed. Shannon,
clerk of courts, w. A Teter, auditor,
John Faris, recorder, Carey Long,
sheriff. B. o. Pratt, surveyor, and j.
w. Matthews coroner, are candidates
for reelection on the Republican tick
ct and John L. Penn, who has been
deputs treasurer under Charles ID.
johnson during his entire term is
candidate for treasurer. Every one Of
these men have made good officials.
We do not ask you to take our word
for this. 1t is proved by the reports
of the state examiners and will be
confirmed by any man, who has had
business in any of the offices.
These men all ask your support on
their records We have nothing to
say derogatory of their opponents. We
are not throwing mud, but their oppo-
nents are not acquainted with the
duties of the respective offices. They
have not shown that they are capable
of fillingthe positions. 1t is aquestion
OF whether you want man to work
for you who understands the business,
has shown that he is capable, honest
and efficient or whether you will dis
charge such men and employ at the
same salary, men without experience,
who are unacquainted with the busi-
ness and concerning whose efficiency
and capability for the particular line
Of work you know nothing.
1t is business proposition. 1t is
question of using good sense and good |
Judgment.
If you believe in applying the same
rules to public affairs as to private
if you really want public bust
ness conducted for the benefit of the
public you must vote for these men on
November 5.
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1912-10-17

AS long as the parents and friends of
each young person, think that he Is
the exception to the rule and will
make great success in the city, and
advise him to go to the city, just that
long will the most of the young people
leave the farm and the small towns
and go to the large cities and seek
fame and fortune.
And it is sad but most Of them will
find out too late that the beautiful
pictures painted for them ere only
mirages.
