10 the extent of transfer from one 10
another. Many of them undoubtedly
would die OF despair or by suicide
were 1t not for the hope continually
held out by their masters that soon
sufficient money will be realized to jus
tify them in settling down in respect
able little business.
The $4,000 regular slaves constitute
only about one-half Of the immoral
women of this land who support them
selves solely by immortality.
The great center Of traffic appears to
be eastern Germany and Austria.
From there white slaves are shipped
with considerable regularity in all di-
rections-to South Africa, South Amer
lea. and lutterly to China. Goodly
numbers are coming to the United
States; but finding 1t difficult to escape
the government inspection. they are
mostly brought in by way of Canada.
The audacity Of these immoral traders
Is illustrated by the fact that one of
their agents recently was found on a
committee organized for the destruc-
tlon of the vice. This man enthusias-
tically offered $3.50 for the conviction
of white slayerS. He was wealthy, had
a son at college and daughter com
pleting her education in Europe.
Recent developments have shown
that some high schools are deeply in
fected with vice, and every young wo-
man. especially II attractive in appear
ance, Is beset with dangerous pitfalls.
The ignorance Of the innocent respect
ing these things contributes to the sue
cess Of the enemy. The unprepared-
ness of parents to do their duty seems
to leave no alternative to the sugges-
ton that sex hygiene must be taught
In all grades Of the high school and in
the upper grades Of the grammar
school.
One OF the most mortlfying thoughts
In connection with the entire matter Is
that there are men and women willing
to sell themselves to such a vile bust
ness-to traffic IN the morals of the
young. The matter has gone so far
that not merely on account Of dangers
from consumptives. but also from
those who have venereal diseases,
drinking cups for general use are no
longer permitted ut public fountains.
Indeed authorities charged with re-
sponsibility for such matters are at
their wits end to know how to over
take the spread Of venereal diseases
and those which outcrop from them to
the third and fourth generation.
Crusade In Every Heart and Home.
Surely 1t is time that white slavery
and every form Of immoral traffic shall
be rooted out, To these calls from
the Purity Congress people who love
Righteousness and hate iniQuity and
love their fellow men should acquiesce;
and many should join the crusaders
against vice In it's many forms.
