BCAIILET WOMAN'. Editor Coos Dny Times: ..There hns been much discussion of tho whlto Hlnvo evil, Its growth nnd rnmlflcntlons, nnd mnny ex press Riirprise nt Its magnitude: but It BceniH to mo that, considering the opportunities that have boon offeree' by the general hick of publicity nnd tho disposition of tho public to Ig noro It, as hns heretofore been the enso, tlio HiirprlKltig fnct Is that 1' hns not gnlned nn oven wider foot hold. Much has boon snld of tho exploit ers of girls nnd women nnd Htrlngcn' lnws hnvo recently been passed for their punishment. Mnny unsucccss ful nttempts hnvo been mndo to, bnn lull thcHo women nnd by exorbltan linos to forco thorn out of business but nil of thin docs not scorn to havr tho desired effect. Hut how n bout tho men who pnt ronlzo them?" Very llttlo hns been snld am' nothing ilnno. It Is nppnront that t Rurrcssfully stop nny business, It ir necessary to Htop tho purchase, h law, and with nulllclcnt potmltles nt tnrhed, to render It effective. Stop her Incomo nnd tho scnrlot wojnni would practically renso to exist. I Rccmii to mo that her crlmo ngnlns' Bocloty Ir not so great oh that of thr men who pntronlzo hor, and contrnc" dlsoaso nnd Infect tholr loving wive or marry Innocent girls nnd cltlio Infect thorn or produce defcctlvi children. Therefore It scorns to me that met nro nlmost Invnrlably responsible fir tho fnct thnt there ore lowd women nnd they nro tho only means of sup porting tho wretched business mr nro prlmo offenders nnd should !) punlflhnil ns hucIi. So when you nr rnlgn tho fallen woman nnd hold he up to scorn, romombcr thnt If I wero not for tho financial supper of the men, nho would probably b n true woman and n hnppy mother Instond of a despised wretch. Si ploaso flavo soino of your scorn fo tho men who nro hor patrons am' give hor tho benefit of some of your Rympnthy. Ovorlook her short romlngs ns much as you do those n' the innn who patronlo her, win have no excuso to offer for thorn selves savo mlsernblo brute passion whereas tho lowd women at Ions' earn tholr mlsernblo livelihood.
