about our vices than even Jesus.
This modern authority is the O'Hara
vice commission, which in its report
laid the responsibility for vice direct
ly at the door of the rich masters,
who, by keeping their slaves in a
state of poverty and starvation, COM
pei the women slaves to become pros
titutes in order to live, and also COM
pei the men slaves to patronize the
former.
In your grandfatheTly, kind way,
you advise the working man to marry
and raise children, whereby, you say,
he will be the happiest man in the
world. Can't you see that by say
ing this you transgress on the bibles
commandment, do not mock the
poor?" Can there be a more de-
risive mockery to a poor man, who
earns hardly enough to support him
self, than to tell him to take unto
himself a wife, raise children and be
happy?
AS a servant of Jesus, you learned
to follow the line of least resistance.
You find it much easier to blame the
poor man or woman, but very hard
to fight the rich interests which are
the root and seeds of prostitution,
according to Leut-Gov. O'Hara. If
you and your league have accom-
plished anything which would reduce
poverty and enable the masses of
men and women to marry and live
clearly and happily, would be glad
to read it in The Day Book. Will you
please let us hear of it?
My name may mean very little if
anything to you, so have adopted a
name which conveys the fact that

ance Man Who Is Free.
POVERTY THE MAIN CAUSE
Mr.. Arthur Burrage Farwell; Every
chaSte-minded man or woman must
agree with you in your stand against
prostitution, although disagreeing
with your method in attempting to
cure this evil You cannot cure by
religious don'ts a vice the direct
cause of which is poverty any more
than you can cure by sleeping pow
der disease caused by ill-nourish-
ment.
If you must quote passages of the
bible as a means to combat vice,
would suggest for your quotation the
fifth book of Moses, chapter %, pas
sages 16, II, Is and 20, where the
eXhortation against prostitution
comes in wonderfully close connec-
ton with the eXhortations against
betraying the workers in favor of the
masters and against interest on
money, and profit on food and all
other commodities. While you offer
thanks to your lord Jesus Christ 1
think it would not be amiss for you
to understand the above indicated
passages of the book of Moses.
But why go back to the ages of
Jesus or Moses to look for authori-
ties on the causes of, and the RENE
dies for, prostitution and vice? To
a perfectly sane mind it seems that
the authorities living in our own age,
knowing our mode of living, fully
acquainted with modern conditions,
