ciaD-By vote OF SIS 10 0, the house

ceived a telegram from the Chicago

joint investigation into the white
slave traffic between the states OF I'LL

Ing followed by committee from the
Illinois legislature.
He gave his full Endorsement to
the plan and went further TO say. Il
want the social evil investigated in
every city Of Michigan In order that
we may protect the young women and
men OF the state. The Kalamazoo
situation In which prosecutions will
be made as result OF investigations
made by the attorney-general's Office
shows the need Of study OF the sub
1ect.
IF such conditions can exist In
Kalamazoo. they can very well be
possible in the other cities. Kalama
roo surely is no exception. We want
something practical TO stamp out the
white slave traffic and then a probe
to come closer home and clean w
social conditions which are perhaps
a greater danger to our society.
II am in thorough sympathy with
any movement for better moral ant
social life and want to see the work
done in way which will bring sure
