For the money that she uses for
her lavish philanthropy and for her own needs
and luxuries wrung largely from the poor by

chief figures.
This monopoly has been one of the many
means of helping to keep the poor poor and driv-
ing thousands of the daughters of the poor into
prostitution.
If this lady were of the daughters of the
poor she might be included among those driven to
prostitution.
But the conditions of life that make the pros

The prostitutes have gone down so that she

This kind of thinking is very disagreeable.
But must think in this way once in while.
In fact, we must think in this way more and more
if we are to get at the truth
Even that philanthropic and beautiful lady
must think in this way, horrifying the thoughts
may be when she appreciates them in all their
significance.
All women must realize all good women and
all bad women. Many of the bad women realize
already. The realization makes them all the more
bitter and desperate
But the good women haven't begun to realize
They are miles and miles away from realizing.

tee begin Immediately an inquiry into
his impeachment charges against
United States Attorney Marshall of
New York. Representative Moss of
