every woman in the state might not
hear of the hundreds of children from
six years of age up that are toilina
day in and day out, from month TO
month to month and year to year in
the cotton and other factories of the
south and the tales of the ruin of young
girls all over our fair land even in
Washington, which is the very heart
of America, such tales as make your
blood run cold. These are the things
