a Terrible Danger,

Now and then paper contains
an article which may shock its read
ers. but the sooner people are
shocked to a realization that a
horrible evil exists the sooner steps
will be taken to wipe it out. 1t is
only of late years that the public
has been cognizant of the horrible
truth of the traffic in human souls.
Even today after all that has been
said and published a majority of
the people stamp the subject as
newspaper sensationalism and the
subject is tabooed. But today within
sight of your own ire-side the terri
ole crime has been practiced. It is
not only proof that White Slavery
does exist, but is warning to those
who have doubted in the past and
refused to guard. Do you know
that the traffic has become so wide
in its scope that international com
missions have been appointed in an
effort to check it ? Do you realize
that the congress of the United
States appointed special commit
tee to investigate the subject and
its findings were too horrible for
publication ? Yet such is the aw-
full truth. You may wonder how
such things can go on, how any
good girl can be led into a trap.
The men and women engaged in
this nefarious trade are wealthy,
well-dressed and have an appear
ance of refinement and culture.
Though the worst of moral lepers
you might receive them in your own
home as refined and cultured gen.
| tlemen and ladies. What chance has
a young girl against such men and
women who paint glowing pictures
of the city and promise easy work
with big pay, perhaps in the case of
men, marriage; in fact they have
been known to go through the mar
riage ceremony in order to get their
victims. This is an unpleasant sub
iect to discuss, but without its dis
cussion there will never be any ac-
ton taken, and without action the
| evil will never be stamped out

End of the Wilson Boom.

Gov. Wilson has queered himself
and his boom has collapsed, and
almost any other democrat named
stands a better chance than he
does of securing the democratic
nomination for president. His
letters, recently brought to light,
show such narrow spirit that his
erstwhile supporters are deserving
him. Think of a man having an
ambition for the presidency who
would write these words knowing
what the party has passed through
in the past fourteen years: "Cannot
we devise some dignifed way of get
ting Mr.. Bryan out of the demo
cratic party and getting rid of him
for all time"
Colonel Harvey of Harper's Week
ly has been a very earnest friend
of Gov. Wilson and for long time
has been advocating him for the
presidency. Gov Wilson austerely
demanded that this be stopped.
The general impression prevails
that he was afraid that it
would injure his cause among
the radical democrats in the
West and that he did not care to
court the conservatives of the East
and thus place his chances in ieop-
ardy.
''The end of the Woodrow Wilson
presidential boom has come, said
Mayor James G. Dahlman, demo-
crat, of Omaha, last Wednesday,
discussing the break between Will
son and Col. George Harvey. 'The
West will dever stand for Wilson
since he has shown himself such a
narrow migrate. Sensible men will
think twice before they give him
their support"
State Senator Reagan of Omaha,
another leading democrat, has
lined up against Wilson, saying !:
Wilson is no longer a presidential
possibility"
That he had hoped to find in
Woodrow Wilson another Tilden,
was the declaration of Henry Wat
terson, in statement made in Louis
vile Wednesday night in connection
with the break between Governor
and Col. George Harvey.
In point of intellect and avail
bility, l yet think COL Harvey made
no mistake in MS choice of candi-
date" he said, ''but the circum-
stance leading to the unfortunate
parting of the ways between them
leads me to doubt whether in char
acter and temperament-it may be
merely in the habits of lifetime
Governor Wilson is not rather a
schoolmaster than a statesman"

There are those who think Bob
La Toilette has performed wonders
through his alleged reforms. G. A.
Buckstaff, of Oshkosh, takes occa-
sion to dispel these Authorizations
in the following language
''If you will send man into Wis

passenger and freight service, l
think you will find the rates higher
and the service, without a doubt,
the poorest we have had in twenty
years. | think you will find that

practically all of the business inter

What may be the course of the

course of Woodrow Wilson, Mr.. Jour
nal. We wish it had, for we might
lead him into more conservative
paths. However, the Journal has
long way to travel before 1t can

it may dictate to the least of the

cause, which it formerly attacked
with all the force at its command.
Since Senator Stephenson took it
/ into his head to add to his power in
Wisconsin politics by putting money
into a certain Milwaukee paper, the
Journal has set Up LaFollette as its
little tin god and in hopes to drag
in the democratic progressives for
its tin image, the Journal has
thrown its arms around Woodrow

HERETOFORE the state has paid
for animals condemned to be
slaughtered which were afflicted
with tuberculosis, but after June
1st, 1913, no compensation will be
paid. A new law was passed at
the last legislature to this effect.
The law further says that all cat
tie must be given the tubercuGn
test before being sold, This, TO
the PILOT, seems to be an unjust
law. The tuberculin test should be
had on all animals, and the state
can well afford to assist in stamping
out the disease.

OPERATION of the bank deposits
guaranty law in Nebraska has failed
to result in panics, business and
bank failures, as it's opponents pre-
dicted. There were no bank failures
IN Nebraska last year. What the
law did accomplish, on the other
hand, was more and better business
for the banks. The money on de-
post in the 500 state banks was in
creased last year over the year be-
fore by So, 2O9, 674.35. The reserve
on hand is Z per cent, or three per
cent. more than a year ago. The
law accomplished an increase in the
banks opportunities for profit be-
cause of increased deposits. Then
it made the banks more immune
from invasion upon the legal re-
serve, due to the fact that the de-
positors knew their money was alb
solutely safe, and weren't so anxious
to draw it ut as heretofore. Last
but not lie Ast, no depositor ran the
risk of losing a penny of his savings.

EDITOR PILoT:-
The poverty of clear cut issues
and the consequent paucity of ideas
make current political discussion
dreary reading. What stands forth
most conspicuously is the evident
desire Of parties and their candi-
dites to appear free from entangling
alliances with Wall street. This is
at present of such trifing impor-
lance that the attempt is made to
magnify trifing acts and utteran-
ces to the dignity of controlling

The eleventh-story lucubrations on
the pitifully pnerile tale of strained
