Read out their names," But what II
! did You have no organization in
Wheeling TO deal with these condi-
tions
Choose out Of your best citizenship
hundred stern, grim. fearless pur-
posed men who are not afraid of some
AWFUL yesterday. To them let the
facts that are of comnon report and
easy verihcation be submitted. and
impeachment will follow impeach-
ment, and Masonry will shake itself
free and the church will lift I'D her
head, and out OF the dredge OF a
past day OF evil an administration OF
righteousness will come forth.
A little girl in her teens secured
employment at a restaurant in the
| central part OF the business district
as cashier. She received meagre
wages and was unable 10 get along re-
specially with the wages paid her. A
short time later she was found in a
house OF prostitution located on Main
street, between Twenty-hfth and
twenty streets. I'm Wheeling
There she remained until one day last
week, when former male friend OF
her. who happened into the house. in
duced her to leave the house. and she
Is now back at her home on Twenty
! seventh street. trying to lead a
straight life. There are many Of you
who know her well
| know of another little girl who
was reared in Wheeling and attended
the public schools at Elm Grove. She
was considered one OF the prettiest
girls in the out-the-pike town. She
secured employment at one OF the
local physicians offices in the city.
and later this same girl was found
lfrequenting the wine rooms and Chi
nese dens of the city. She went down
the wrong road and today she is in
one Of the houses in the "redlight dis
trict" on the west side of Market
street. just south of Twenty-sixth"
Marriage Relationship.
DIR. McCuaig in continuing his dis
course said there are two reasons why
: you cannot make Wheeling clean.
First. you have good men. and second,
you have bad men. Men are boys de-
Veloped. and men and women are com
/ ing into the marriage relationship
who know nothing of the marriage re-
lation. There Is no act that we
enter upon that We know so little
about In other matters we do not
enter into the work without a thorough
investigation. In the marriage rela-
ton we enter into IL without a care.
Many children are the outcome OF
passion and Ignorance and many a
child comes out OF ignorance on the
part Of the mother. God has protected
his creatures by Qualifications
A boy must have the proper exercise
when he comes into the world and we
should hail with delight the work car
/ ried out in the Young Mems Christian
Association and in other similar organ
/ izatiOns. The child has need of the
sunshine and ne must also be instruct
ed in regard to keeping his body in the
best physical condition. The great
est importance of every boy is the
teaching of him the principles OF faith
erhoOd. In Wheeling many are false
as TO fatherhOod. Every quack adver-
Using doctor should be hung as many
a boy has sold papers in order to Sc
cure enough money with which to send
and get his medicine that is supposed
| TO be a cureali
