g%anization. The District of Columbia,
Maryland. Virginia and YER other
eastern states have already been Or
sanized. and the system Is being ex-
tended westward
Under the system a representative ia
maintained in every city and town of
any importance. Usually these repre-
sentatives are lawyers, who often be.
come interested in the work, and ac-
complish much. Under the system,
trace is kept Of every immoral woman.
A record already has been taken of
every such woman in the district, who
is openly living immorally.
Watch Women Closely.
BY means Of the system which is be-
ing built up, the agents of the depart
girls who are reported lost. follow up
immoral women, as they move from
place to place. and watch closely, 10
make sure that women are not being
enticed into immoral lives.
Already the work has succeeded
greatly. A large number of convic-
tons under the white slave law have
been secured. 1t is the confident be-
lief Of Mr.. Finch and of those work
ing with him that in time the white
slave traffic. as such. be broken
VI entirely.
In the search for evidence and in
their efforts to keep young girls from
being led into immoral lives, the
agents of the department have uncoy-
cred conditions almost unbelievable.
They have discovered the traffic ia
we'll organized. They have found that
the means Of debasing girls and wom-
en- are often revolving. And they have
established beyond a possibility Of q
doubt that often the ways taken for
securing girls and holding them are
nothing short OF brutal. It Is a reali-
zation of the terrible methods Of the
traffic which mas led to the determined
efforts to break 1t up.

do little harm. They are so palpably

more intelligent votes than they de-

There is. and that preventive is for
