A PLEA FOR POLICEWOMEN.

To the Editor OF Tho Tribune
Sir. Your editorial on the employment
Of policewomen deserves the highest com
mendation. Public testimony. recently
given. shows the dire need of some such
social institution for the better protection
of women In the columns Of your val
liable paper | read not long ago that Mr..
London had solemnly sworn he had
known uniformed policemen. rs we'll as
plainclothcs men," to be the direct agents
and abettors Of men holding sway over
women In certain districts. and that he
had known uniformed men and plain
clothes men to assist the keeper To re-
gain control over womcn who were grow
ing FESTIVE under such control. And
when certain serious crimes are commit
ted against women who receives most
sympathy from the officer the accuscr or
the accused?
Facts speak for themselves and call
loudly for the appointment of women To
look after their own sex who have been
unfortunate Many of these are mere
children besides being the victims of
social conditions. and not really culpable.
\ civilized society should bow its head In
bitter shame because of the inefficient
protection II shows its young women and
girls. and should earnestly and actively
seek To improve the laws and social in
situations which permit the never ending
exploitation of the friendlcss unprotected
and unfortunate.
II will be found that brothel keepers,
white slave" traffickers certain types of
politicians and respectable hypocrites will
oppose the change.

precious sense than the words common
ly convey. He was primarily Chris
tian missionary, but he did not esti-
mate or record his work according to
the mere number of alleged CONVEX
sions and baptisms which he was able
10 report. His aim was that Of the
pioneer. TO open up the country, break
the ground and plant the seed, leaving
TO native aids the culture and harvest
ing of the crop. But no other mission
airy was ever more Jealous than be for
the purely religious and spiritual feat
ures of his enterprise.
As a traveller and explorer he stands
first in African annals. When he be-
gan bis work the map Of the continent
was blank from the Soudan to the
Transvaal. He travelled over and
charted one-third Of the continent. He
discovered the Victoria Falls, the
greatest in the world; explored the
Zambesi and the great lakes; first Of
all men diScerned the true forms OF
the river and mountain systems Of the
continent and as geographer and
naturalist did more for Africa than
any other man had or has done.
His philanthropic work was twofold.
Wherever he went he entered into the
life of the people and strove TO raise
If 10 a higher level Of intelligence, of
physical health. of profitable industry:
always gentle always sympathetic.
always helpful. In addition, he made
his travels from Cape TO Line a con
tinuous campaign against the slave
trade. His was the voice which reused
the conscience Of Europe To activity
for the suppression Of the detestable
traffic i'm which not only Arabs. hut
also men Of at least one European ma
