Philadelphia, May 19.-The COM
mittee on Public Safety for the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, of which
George Wharton Pepper of this city
is chairman, has made public n
statement containing the history of
the organization, review of the
work it has so far performed and a
statement of expenses and contrac-
tual commitments up to date. The
statement was made public in con-
nection with published reports of al
legged extravaganza of the committee
and also in connection with to-day's 5
meeting in Harrisburg of the eXecu-
tive committee of the committee
with the Commission of Public Safe
ty and Defense recently created by
the Legislature with authority to
expend $2.00Q,000 appropriated by
the General Assembly for war pur-
poses. Governor Brumbaugh is chair
man of the commission.
In detailing the organization of
the Public Safety Committee, the
statement says that Governor Brum-
baugh advised the committee that
in order that it should not be i'm
peded by lack of funds, he had
caused to be prepared a bill appro-
priating $4,000, 200 for the work of
the committee. The governor sub
mitted a draft of the bill for ap-
proval and it was introduced in both
houses "at the direction of the Gov
ernor."
Plans for cooperation with the
Council of National Defense and the
advisory committee are gone into in
detail.

Truth

Ever since the time of Adam,
When that duffer got his fame,
We've been always knocking
woman
For our wrong she gets the blame.
She is the one who causes trouble,
What a great place this would be
II this world was for men only,
And from woman we we're free.
Every time that men get loaded
Twas some woman made them so,
With their nagging and their
scolding
On a drunk they are made to go.
If we steal twas they who made us
To get clothes for them to wear,
Really it's something awful,
All the ills men have to bear.
And the preacher in the pulpit
He must knock the woman, too,
How they smoke and drink and
gamble,
At their clubs, what things they
do;
They neglect their homes and
children
Rush around both day and night,
Just think how the poor men suf-
fer,
Pom my word, it is a fright.
Let me tell you my dear brother,
Even il those things are true,
Yet a woman is a bad one If she's
not
AS good as you.
Show me where there is a woman,
Who, perchance, has gone astray,
And I'll show you close beside her
Some fool man who led the way.
If she smokes twas you who
taught her,
If she drinks, you showed her how,
If she is as you have made her,
Is II right to blame now?
God made man, and God made
woman,
Both upon a different plan,
There never was a real bad woman
Who was not made so by man.

EDITOR THE TIMES:
Will you kindly allow me a line
in your paper in which l may ex-
press myself in regards to Mrs. X.
M. Us judgment of May?
In the first place l should say
she is a very ignorant woman, one
who imagines she knows a great
deal and has done a great deal.
For instance, she dares quote
Scripture. You would think she
had read the Bible, but I guess
she hasn't, for If she had, she
would have read these lines:
Judge not, lest ye be Judged"
What right has she to Judge
poor May? She almost accuses
her of untruthfulness. She speaks
also of charitable institutions. She
makes me laugh. wonder If she
ever tried 1t. She evidently
knows as much about charity as
does the people who run these
places under this name and who
get big salaries for doing so. Let
her try it once without a cent in
her pocket, and then she'll get
wise. Mrs. X. NJ. j. is evidently
one who has always had a good
home and good husband and
those people know very little
about this old worlds sorrows.
And when she was shining her
husband was evidently cooking his
own meals. | think it would be
grand thing If every one could
have a taste of what May has gone
through-just enough to make
them understand. Thanking you
for publishing this, am. respect
fully, MRS. T.

to say few words in reply to the
"One Who Knows"
~ This is not given as defense
of men. 1t is difficult thing to
fix the blame for immoral condi-
tions.
But / do wish to state that Zone
Who Knows is entirely wrong
where she blames men entirely
for the prostitution and the moral
condition of all our fallen women.
l, too, know, for / have had 80
years experience as a messenger
boy and a private detective in 10
of the largest cities.
Ninety per cent of all fallen
women deliberately and wilfully
and with open eyes take the
plunge on the road that they know
will lead as sure as there 10 death
to ultimate despair. Not only do
they deliberately take this step,
but scorn every offer of advise
offered to help divert them.
The causes of this are many,
but the principal ones are indo-
lence, love of finery, luxury and
lustful, lazy life of ease. The
lure and temptation to take this
step is found flashing before
their eyes in the shop windows.
Hose worth $3.50 of every posi-
BILE shade, color and stripe, shoes
at $12, diamonds and all kinds of
gaudy clothes, that the most
brazen harlot would not have had
enough to wear 20 years ago! To
attain these, II they can't get
them in any other way, many are
perfectly willing to sell their body
and soul.
There are very few that are led
astray by loving unwisely, for love
and affection as rule is not
known in their makeup.
They look with scorn and ridi-
cule on their sisters who work in
shops and homes.
Dear people and mothers, that
is where the danger lies; your
are seeking to destroy their lives.
For when once a girl takes this
awful step nothing pleases her
more than to enlist another re-
cruit. OF course, she has maggots
in human form who give her ready
aid to carry out her plans.
This danger turks in the stores
theaters, churches, schools and
even at times party in your own
| home.
There has never been a time
when prostitution was more at
tractive in our city than at the
present time. The harlots have
! free access and no questions asked
to every public place of amuse-
ment or otherwise. By the dozens
they enjoy the privacy of our best
hotels. Some even enjoy the lux
ury of maid.

that 1t was not as much environ

she inherited from her mother, as

This may be true, but only as

when l came to her she became as
one insane and yelled at me:

After little she became quieter

showed me her week-old son, and
