Writer Strikes at
Root of Question"

GAIL LAUGHLIN, woman attorney
of Denver and member of the
Colorado State Board of Pardons,
put. Mary Austin strikes at the real
tion when she says that crimes of that
sort are against society.
Recognition of that fact Is due to
the growing acknowledgment that
women are valuable as citizens and
members of society
That they are, in short, individuals
rather than the property of other in
dividuals.
In one little point l do disagree
with her and that is when she sug-
gests that the law under which these
men are tried does not cover this case
technically. / think it does--even
technically.
The law does not say anything
about white slavery. 1t says for i'm
moral purposes The term white
slavery is only the popular way of
expressing it. They were undoubtedly
taken for immoral purposes.
.The men confessed that they did
not intend to make 1t permanent.
There Is one point / should like to
bring out and make the public realize.
If they had gone to Los Angeles in
stead of Reno it would not have been
crime.
.This proves that the United States
laws are ahead of those of California.
.'It affords a standard for the laws
of this state and others to conform
to and they Will, too.
I'm my work as member OF the
board of pardons. I have come in close
touch with such crimes against So
ciety as these and realize what it
means"

Mothers of Country
Demand Protection

MRS. IDA FINNEY MACKRILLE Of
the Civic Centert Il think that ii is
a very fine article. l like the thought
that 1t embodies. and particularly In
regard to women.
TT Is a very fine mission to be a
mother and they should be pro-
tected
Then. too, like the fact that Mrs.
Austin does not consider the matter
in a personal way, but from the gen.
eral standpoint of the offense against
society. There is in her article no
personal condemnation of the two
men. sSuch occurrences as these must
be considered solely for the effect on
society and as laxness of morals.
II feel tremendously sorry, in a
personal way. for all the people in
volved In this Diggs-Caminettf mat
ter. But what comes home to me
particularly. after my several months
of Investigation of police courts for
the Civic Center Is that the women
pay so much more for their trans
gressinns than do the men. These
four women in the cases under dis
cussion will, suffer more than the
men. even If the latter go to prison.
This is. however. step in the
right direction. am glad to say.
THE significant point to me Is the
awakening OF public opinion by this
trial-and, In fact. by all such trials"

Double Standard of
Morality Imperfect" |"

MRS. A. =. BLACK, president Of the
California club-"It is decidedly the
tendency nowadays to consider the So
cial body rather than the individual
There is likewise great. progress
toward abolishing the double standard
of morality. / agree with Mrs. Austin
that this is a anotable example of just
these.
Women are being placed more and
more on the same footing with men.
Citizenship was the greatest step
toward that. and it brings much more
with It,
I think there is another motive
back of these movements. and that is
that they should be rather toward
reformation than expediency.
The desire to raise the standard of
public morals shows Improvement OF
the moral atmosphere and points
toward even greater Improvement.
Mrs. Austin has taken a great stand
In this matter and has shown a great
moral to be drawn.
1T shows, I think, tendency toward
better things that the white slave law
was enacted. That proves the upward
trend"

Il am sorry. however. that these
men were indicted under the white
slave law. as 1t is misapplication of
that law. l am very much interested
In white slavery and I think 1t tends
to weaken that act. These men were
not planning for anything. They were
regardless of the future and of the
future of others and so were deeply
deserving of punishment
II rejoice that the world has so
advanced that we will not stand for
this sort of conduct.
I'VE are awakening when we insist
upon the calling to account of such
men. They are simply the victims Of
the ages. They are no worse than

Society Should Stand by
Woman Raising anniy

FromM I'm Yesterd CALI.
The service that women perform in bearing and
rearing children is the very greatest that can be
asked of them. A woman who undertakes to raise
family will find that she must give about 20 years
to it.
During that time she has a right to expect
society to stand by and that the security of her
married life is not disturbed by any trivial un-
worthy occasion
