It is recognized, thatwhile the Third
District will lose the services OF man
who has an excellent record as solder
and citizen. and man who has done
conscientious work since coming to
conoress Governor Montague, being
an able lawyer and much younger
man thar Captain Lamb, will be able
to represent the district to the very
best advantage.
While members of the Virginia del
cgation today did not care to discuss
the result of the election, there was
much talk of private kind.
Another matter being considered,
is who will become chairman of the
House Committee on Agriculture,
which position is now held by Cap
taic Lamb. The next man on the
committee is Representative Lever,
of South Carolina, and it is quite
Likely that the craftsmanship will go
70 him, as there is little likelihood
that for any reason he would be pas
sed over in the reorganization Tor
some one further down the list.
Mr.. Lever is one of the best known
mec in the House. He is thorough
farmer, hard worker, and friend Oh

terc sts of the country. AS chairman
of this committee. he would add Z; a
force and influence that doubtless VIII

ing on the principle that it is more
uplifting to the state to protect the
young ladies who come to the city for
school or work, than 1t is to reform
them later on.
In speaking of her work throughout
the state Mrs. Towsley said: Just now
we are putting forth our efforts toward
securing the property which we now
occupy and we also want a new build
ing. The people are very much inter-
ested wherever / have gone and our
principle of protection rather than of
reform appeals to all. Our aim is to
surround them with a good environ
ment and to give them a good home.
IT have found that the money part
of my work is but the smallest part
for as I visit h rural communities I
find tina the people do not realize just
the difference between tho rural COM
munity and the influences that their
daughters are under upon coming to 3
city like Fargo. They have heard of
the evils OF the city, but seem to assoc
ciate them with cities like Chicago and
Minneapolis. They hear of the white
slave traffic, but do not realize that 1t
is right at their doors.
81 meet with the white savers wher-
ever / go, there is always a trace but
nowhere that you can place your ing
er. I know of one small town in this
county, where a white, slave agent has
been operating all his fall and has
secured dozens of young girls. They
work mainly among the girls in the
cheap restaurants and boarding houses
who are alone in the world and no one
seems to know or care where they go.
/ often talk to men In railroad service
who see these things going on but what
is everyone's business is no, ones busi-
ness and the traffic continues. A new
phase. of the traffic is the securing of
| young men in the smaller towns, whO
have no particular occupation and Who
can present an attractive appearance

often carry on their work as no one
would think of suspecting them. 1t is
my duty to bring these conditions be-
| fore the people of the smaller towns
and everywhere / am well received.
ct meet UP with the c1up women and
| the influential people and while 4

aim. / have opportunity to learn Of
conditions among the young people and
urge parents to be more careful where
their daughters are sent to secure lodg-
ing while in the city. In the towns
hat I have visited ] have found one
and sometimes two and three girls who
| have been here at the home n they
| are q great help to me and are always
staunch friends of the home. We have
cared for 200 girls since Jan. / and
only one woman out of the 200 is regis
tered from Fargo. SO you see 1T is
strictly a state institution. That is one
of the objections to our home which
the people give. They say that 1t is a
Fargo Institution, but our statistics
prove that 1t is not. Almost every
and fourteen different denominations.
