ftigation, the opposition to this bill be-
fore the legislature will occupy deli
cate position and one which will prob
ably bring legislative bombs from all
directions.
\ Not Taken Seriously at First.
i Senator Linley's bill to investigate
the white slave traffic, the extent of
which in Wisconsin has never been
clearly established, was not taken
especially seriously a few weeks ago.
The situation in Chicago as brought
out by the Illinois probe has focused
upon this bill a new interest; one
that is inclined to be opened-minded
and seeking information to be secured
by proper persons working with prop
er authority. The measure is now
taken seriously.
The most direct and vital blow to
loose public morals is contained in
the Frederick bill giving to the state
the right to confiscate property used
as a house of ill-fame. The author of
this bill, who is known as "the fight
ling parson," says that if the bill is
passed that forty-eight hours after it
as signed by Governor McGovern
there will not be single house of
dIl-fame in Wisconsin. His bill pro-
vides for the corfscation of property
of this character and it's sale at public
auction. 1t is his theory that if
property owners face the penalty of
losing their property that they will
very quickly abandon the practice of
renting it for other than legitimate
purposes.
Say Measure Is Constitutional.
Attorneys have studied the measure
and say that it is constitutional.
Mr.. Frederick in his argument for
the bill said that If segregation were
the best plan to be followed in meet
ing the question of purity and moral
ity that the red light districts ought
to be placed in the aristrocratic Sec
tons of the city, where there would
be no temptation to young women
who live in homes of comfort and
luxury. The passing show Of dia
rmonds and fashion constantly paraded
before the eyes of poor girls going to
sand from their homes influenced
many young women to take up lives
OF shame, he said.
Jt is a significant fact that these
gand other bills touching upon the
same problem are being taken seri
eously by members of both houses, and
the calendar of accomplishments by
this legislature promises to include
the enacement Of drastic laws on g
subject that heretofore has not play
ed a prominent part in legislation in
Wisconsin.

Madison, Wis, March 18.-CSpeciaD
Wisconsin is in the vanguard of the
movement to wipe out white slavery
and help human souls.
Long before ''the story of Chicago"
was laid bare at the investigation be-
ing conducted in Illinois, bills were
introduced in the Badger legislature
which deal specifically with the white
slave traffic, and those conditions
which are believed to have at least an
indirect bearing on the problem.
Here are three bills pending be-
fore the legislature which go to the
1eart of this big, human problem:
To provide for a minimum wage
for women and children.
To investigate the white slave
traffic.
To confiscate property used as
a house of i'll fame.
The minimum wage bill was one of
the promises of the Republican party
in it's platform. 1t was introduced
sometime ago by Assemblyman
Thomas J. Maho4, and it is one of
the measures upon which all parties
in the legislature are expected to
unite. In the light of recent revela-
tGions developed by the Illinois inves-

BAPTIST.

Baptists the world over will be inter-
ested in the announcement that DR..
Robert Stuart Macarthur is to beeome
the pastor OF the First Church, Balti-
more. Nd For the last six Sundays he
has been occupying the pulpit, and his
preaching has attracted great congrega-
tons and captivated the members Of the
church DR.. Macarthur prefers to be
called the ''acting pastor" although he
has been called as pastor, and Will proba-
bly, serve the church for an extended
period. He will begin his work on his
return from Burma. Meanwhile the
church will seek the leading ministers OF
the country as pulpit supplies. DR.. Laws,
former pastor. and now editor Of the
Watchman-Examiner, says Of the call:
In the church DR.. Macarthur will find a
noble band of consecrated, enthusiastic,
heroic workers; in the city he will find a
multitude of friendly, responsive, gener-
GUS people There can be no question as
to the success that win attend DR.. Mac
Arthur's ministry. According to the
Bible and the calendar, DR.. Macarthur is
growing old, but his vigor OF mind and
body, his enthusiasm, optimism, courage.
and industry prove that he is Just enter
ing his prime We shall hope for great
things from his Baltimore pastorate.-
