Yet mother never let me see her

And girls, | know my mother isn't |

When a boy goes wrong no one

of that same reputation for drowsi-
ness-for Philadelphia is aware that
vice thrives best where it is least
expected.
And if the lid were ever lifted off
the sainted city, the stencil of the
charnel house would rise TO the
heavens. A man, if he lives in a GER
tain part of the town, does not have
to go into the tenderloin district or
rent a room in shady hotel. He
can take a girl from the streets right
up into his own room, and do it
openly.
Chicago has been and is brazen in
her iniquity, Philadelphia hasn't even
the decency of brazenness. A
stranger to the town, if he doesn't
"know," hangs around hotel and
yawns. The man who is on to the
ropes will tell you there is more sport
in Philadelphia than in any city in
the country-if you know where to
go for it. ..-
And that vice commission had to
work secretly. Chicago has aroused
the country with it's exposure of
starvation wages, but if ever Phila-
delphia were forced to come out in
the open with her minimum wage she
could never live the disgrace down.
The average wage on which men
support themselves and families in
that City of Brotheriy Love is $15 a
week. And while rents are cheaper,
the cost of food is greater. Their
meats are brought in from the West
and cost from to cents pound
more than here.
