The Washington herald., 1913-09-07

There are certain races-the Irish are
honorably conspicuous among them
which. no matter what the economic
pressure, furnish very few inmates Of
houses Of Ill fame. do not believe that
the differences are due to permanent race
characteristics; this is shown by the fact
that the best settlement houses find that
practically all their 'long-term gradu-
ates," SO to speak, all the girls that come
for long period under their influence.
no matter what their race or national
origin, remain pure. In every race there
are some naturally vicious individuals
and some weak individuals who readily
succumb under economic pressure. A
girl who is lazy and hates hard work. a
girl whose mind is rather feeble. who
is Of 'subnormal intelligence" as the
phrase now goes. or a girl who Graves
cheap fnery and vapld pleasure. is al
ways in danger. A high ideal of personal
purity Is essential Where the same
pressure under the same economic con-
dition has tenfold the effect on one set
OF people that 1t has on another. 10 Is
evident that the question OF moral stan
dards is even more important than the
question Of economic standards, very i'm
portant though this question, is. 1t is i'm
portant for US to remember that the girl
ought to have the chance, not only for
the nesessaries OF life, but for innocent
pleasure; and that even more than the
man she must not be broken by over
work. by excessive toll. Moreover. pub
lie opinion and the law should combine
TO hunt down the "lagrant man swine"
who himself hunts down poor or silly or
unprotected girls. But We must not, in
foolish sentimentality, excuse the girl
from her duty TO keep herself pure. Our
duty to achieve the same moral level for
the two sexes must be performed by
raising the level for the man, not py low
ering 1t for the woman; and the fact that
society must recognize its duty in no
shape or way relieves, not even in the
smallest degree, the individual from doing
his or her duty. Sentimentslity which
grows maudlin on behalf of the willful
prostitute is a curse; TO counfound her
with the entrapped or coerced girl. the
real white slave, is both foolish and
wicked. There are evil women, Just as
there are evil men, naturally deprayed
girls just as there are naturally depraved
young men; and the right and wise thing.
the just thing, to them, and the generous
thing 10 innocent girls and decent men.
is to wage stern war against the evil
creatures Of both sexes.
Tramp Lodging-Houses.
In company with Jacob Riis, did
much work that was not connected with
the Actual discipline OF the force or in
deed with the actual work OF the force.
There was one thing which he and
abolished-police lodging-houses, which
were simply tramp lodging-houses, and
a fruitful encouragement to vagrancy.
Those who read Mr.. Riis' story OF his
own life will remember the incidents that
gave him from actual personal expert
ence his horror OF these tramp lodging
houses. As a member OF the health
board I was brought into very close re-
lations with the conditions OF life in the
tenement-house districts. Here again
used to visit the different tenement
house regions, usually in company with

ments against union. and with full respect
for those whose antipathies, social relig-
ious. theological, ecclesiastical, personal.
make them irreconcilable, the signs indi-
cate union TO be inevitable. Instances
are multiplying in which the people are
actually doing what their leaders and
church courts have been negotiating to
do. Congregations are coming together.
Theological colleges, as in Winnipeg, are
cooperating first and then uniting. In
Montreal four colleges are constituted
into one splendid college center, offering
to the students of each more than four
times the opportunity for efficient train
ing that any one OF them offered alone
The Isolated and spontaneous incidents
mark the drift Of things. But drift is
not sufficient. There must be direction,
power, and the uplifting tide of new
life and of a great purpose. That alone
will carry the movement over the sand
bar OF indifference into the broad. open
place where the Church OF Canada is to
play its part. For. beyond all Cavil this
movement is immeasurably more than
any adjustment OF doctrinal statements
and OF ecclesiastical politics and of
financial details. II is a great religious
quickening, a renewal of the deepest
religious convictions and consecrations in
the presence OF a gigantic social chal-
lenge to Christianity. And il is all this,
not on personal and individual lines
alone, but on the wide-sweeping range of
the nation. AS such it must be appre-
ciated not alone by the far-visioned
