The Republican floor leader intimated
that some men in his own party were

of the Democratic side Of the house,
and In rebuking them he said: "We

No White Slave Traffic.

After a thorough investigation of
the social evil in Europe, Dr., Ahraham
F1exner reports to the bureau of social
hygiene that thero is no systematic
white-slave' traffic and that current
reports on the subject Of such. traffic
arc found, as a rule, to be baseless ex-
aggerations.
Experience has already shown that
these conclusions are true as TO the
United States. There are sporadic
cases of white slavery among the for
eign populations Of large cities like
New York, but there is no widely or
ganized traffic.
The Mann act was passed by con-
gress to meet supposedly nation wide
evil; but the most conspicuous prose
cutions under the Mann act have been
for elopements in which there was no
element whatever Of commercialized
vice or comInerciaIized immortality. All
the efforts Of city, state and national
authority have failed to disclose an or
ganiZed traffic that could in any way
Justify the amazing public hysteria
that has been inspired by sensation
mongers.
1t is not easy to measure the damage
that has grown out Of this Hwhite-
slave" myth under the adroit manipu-
lation of emotional reformers, silly nov
elists, sordid dramatists and conscience
less theatrical managers. The morbid
curiosity of millions of children has
been excited and hundreds of thou.
sands Of women have been terrorized
into regarding every male person as an
actual or potential white.slaver.
The time has come when a prudent
man besitates to 60 to the relief of any
woman In distress lest he be accused of
trying TO abduct her and sell her into
a life OF shame. AS for other aspects
of the case, the efforts of the police
that might profitably be devoted to
the pursuit Of Hcadets' and other hu
man scum of the masculine species that
live off commercialized vice have to be
diverted to the censorship of the OBJ
scene and revolving Fwhite-slave -
films that are used Systematically to

WOULD SET A PRECEDENT

Beyond calling attention of the
country to the fact that Representa-
tive Richmond ?. Hobsou has been
absent from his scat in the house much
of the time since the Inauguration of
President Wilson, it is not probable
the demand Of the Birmingham, Ala,
man that the redoubtablc captain for
felt his pay will have any effect The
law is plain enough but it has been
more honored in the breach than in the
observance.
The demand is the outcome Of the
fight over the Senatorship in Alabama
between Congressman Hobson and the
present leader of the Democratic house,
Oscar Underwood. Hobson is the cham
pion Of the prohibition element in the
state, while Underwood is epdcavoring
to keep that question out Of the cam
paign. Alabama is prohibition state,
in name at least, and 1t is probable
Hobson has become a more formidable
candidate than expected, especially
since he has been going up aud down
the state making speeches, while Under
wood, owing to his position as Demo
cratic leader in the House, is com
PEELED to remain at his post, fuming
and fretting. The average citizen Of
the United States would consider it an
extraordinary occurrence should Hob.
son win, but strange things happen in
politics.
With general election at hand, in
which both Senators and Representa-
tives must go before the people "run-
ming for votes" as the suffrae eist
speaker observed to President Wilson
the other day, it is more than probable
that the candidates for reelection to
both Senate and House will scatter all
over the country long before Congress
adjourns. That has been the custom
for a great many years. To stop the
pay Of Hobson at the present time
would set precedent that would play
hob with the salaries Of bis fellow
members. IT is not at all likely that
the House will take any action on the
demand of tho Birmingham supporter
of Leader Underwood

GRAFTERS PUNISHED.

William Willett, a former representa-

Out of all this folly it is to be hoped

dealing with the social evil must come

President Wilson's action by purchas-

Heavy siege guns arc not necessary to
reduce Torreon. Long-range field guns,
however, are essential
The embargo is removed at time
when the rebellion is at its highest
