PROSTITUTES. - Judge Fisher
sitting in the morals court has SEN
fenced perhaps a hundred prostitutes
to the Bridewe1. Some Of these no
doubt deserve to be there, but many
don't. Locking the prostitute up is
not a solution of the problem, for
man will make others to take her
place. How about the men who live
ON the earnings of these women?
Whv not put all of them behin9, bars
and let the prostitute live?
Being scorned by all sO-called re-
spectacle people, her only refuge is.
the back room of some saloon, where,
perhaps, she finds sOlace in drink,
drink which in most cases is half re-
sponsibIe for her being an Outcast-
She is an outcast, but the man who
is responsible for it is Ofttimes the
husband of the woman who con-
dennis her most, and he who sold
the drink that helped is prosperous
and licensed to continue doing the
same.
Go to the morals, court and see
the so-caIled justice dealt. The pros
titute is arrested, some saloOnkeeper
or bondsman signs her bond if she
has SIS to give him, and some law
yer takes her case for $40. Then she
is sent to the Bridewe1 for one or six
months, broke. For what? For
selling herself! Sometimes poison,
