CAME TO SEE COL. Oracle
Titanic Survivor Learns Of
Friends Death on Landing.

r. ". Daniel. who Jumped from the
stern Of the Titanic as the great White
Star liner plunged to tho bottom on the
morning Of April is last. arrived here
from Liverpool IN excellent health and
spirits on tho steamship Cedric.
He and the late Colonel Oracle were
the last survivors to leave the Titanic.
They drifted together In the Icy waters
Of the Atlantic until picked up. and both
had become fast friends when the
Cunarder Carpathia landed them safely
In this city less than eight months ago.
Mr.. Daniel did not care TO recall his ex-
perience on the Titanic. but when the
subject was mentioned he said that the
hardships endured by those survivors
who did not leave the vessel in iifeboats
certainly must have injured them physi-
cally In some way and curtailed their
terms of life.
He said he would remain In this city
for few days to see his friend and fei-
low survivor Colonel Oracle.

very lengthy reports on the
progress of many societies,
organized for the lettering of moral
conditions.
We have had data furnished us
which proves conclusively that New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago, st.
Louis, Denver, and other large cities
are rotten-civicly and socially.
Many good, earnest, honest men
and women have been interested in
the work of reforming, purifying
and abo1ishing. The plans followed
have not always seemed practicable
to many of us, but where intention
is SO thoroughly earnest and honest,
at least some results for the better
are bound to show.
In Atlanta, Georgia, recently it
was learned that young girls and
young boys were showing an alarm
ing tendency to slip from under the
parental ocntroL The cheap theatres,
the moving picture shows were
lures which led many of them into
that sordid, tawdry gayety, which in
turn so often led to the designation
house, and from there to the house
of prostitution.
AS we have grown accustomed to
calling things by their proper
names, it is amazing to note how
careless some parents have been as
to the possible results of too much
freedom, and it is even more appall-
ing to note the ease and the read1-
oh hN hnun and
girls can deceive their parents.
Many a boy of sixteen and eigh-
teen is afflicted with loathsome
diseases, unknown to the parent
until it is no longer possible
to hide it. Broken health and bro
ken hearts are in many a home
where the son has been idolized,
petted and cared for-on1y to pay
for the devotion Of life time by
treachery and deceit.
Many a young girl has a knowl-
edge of worldly matters and expert
ences in them which would break
the mothers heart, and too often
disgrace comes like bolt from the
sky
Here then, is the material for
many of the underworld resorts.
The white slave traffic is a very real
and a very horrible thing, but it does
not supply half the victims of the

There never was a surgeon who

Do you suppose it possible for
them to improve when they are seq
regated in homes" "treformato-
RES and the like, with dozens of
their own kind?
This isn't an article offering any
solution to the probIem-it is written
after reading OF the suicide of one
of the women of Atlanta's "restric-
ted" district; after reading of the
finding Of three little girls who had
left home to be actresses In a cheap
burlesque show; after reading of
the "Jehnnies" gathered at a stage
door to take the girls of another
cheap show to "soft drink" places,
or for automobile rides.
It's sickening-and It's going to
be more SO, before the men and wo-
men whose responsibility for this
condition of things rouse them
selves to recognize it.
The appalling insolence and ar
rogance of the average youth and
girl Of the cities and towns, makes
one almost despair, and one wonders
where the parents are who cannot,
