Stota W. C T. V, v . .:t fl note with- much pleaeure the action fit the 'Independent Order B'nal B'rlth" lot Portland. In the matter of the white slave trade. .Our American people have been alow to believe that euch- thln ae the Importation of glrla and wpnaen f to fill the depleted ranica or moai 'pitiful claee that the aun ehlnee on. can jaxist! There ha been fpr some time an 'abundance of proof oftthla traffic and (various ocletfes. noUbly the National Purity 8ociation and the w. C. T.. V. ihave been etudyin the; eituatlon to ftlna the most hopeful point or attack. To brln the facta to the attention 'of the people so that they may obtain credence ' has commended Itself one ijof the first, things to do, and the arousement of the people has been most encouraging, to build up a feeling of 'personal responsibility for this awful oOndlUon x seems the next thlnr need ful.. It Would seem self-evident ; that all men ' and women should feel - this responsibility as soon as convinced or 'the existence f the evil, but the pre iudlce of the whole past against touch lag this unclean thin,-even to uiUt In Its ' eradication, today keeps many otherwise good men and .women from lifting their hands In this pitiful cru sade - -z-' Would Work Double Hardship. J It la to be hoped that, other philan thropic : organisations of Portland will tender cooperatlbn with this one that has undertaken to ieaa -in una movemenu It has long been known to those that there was need of much reform work In Portland. The trouble is that pub licity ln. case adds a greater burden I -The remedy Is a law, providing for trial of this kind behind locked doors, with a perfect guarantee that the name of the yictim shall neve be known in ublic Such a law ought, to be passed y our; next- legislature. v a Butwhlle w are giving thought to this we ought to be making ready a punishment, commensurate to the crime. The case of the City Hall buffet can doubtless be duplicated but that fact makes it all the more necessary ' that this piece shall be strictly dealt with. What matters it that the woman chances to be-more. than is years of age. does that in the slightest, degree do away .with tie : shame to the city that such revolting , things can take place in Portland. Men Sbould Be Protectors. It would be well for men in this con nection to consider seriously the the ories that they have held to the effect, that men are women's natural pro tectors, keeping In view always the one great danger to the home. If we are honest ,in holding this belief then upon the first note of danger It is mandatory that we seek to know Us extent. 'One need not seek far to know that this traffic is well established and that the proof is near at band. That it will be a difficult matter to legislate against, and that proof will cost effort is certain, out it is aieo certain tnac the same effort that la given to protect men in their property rights would soon result in giving adequate protection to women. 'The horror of the matter alone ought to arouse tire chivalry of every true man. We are congratulating ourselves that at last Portland is awaking to the con ditions that are obtaining In tha Port land saloons. Aside from the drunkenness that the saioon rosters, it is the home and the Instigator of a still greater evil, and L am persuaded not without the knowledge of the police of the city. Such orgies as are now-being investi gated ara not a new. thing, nor la -the wrong to the women the Only evil re sulting from thes awful things. I maintain toat wo degrading erieot upon'- the men and their homes is of even more consequence. ' Xh Way la the South. We of the north can with ill grace charge that prohibition la more neces sary for the south, because of the menace of the black population to the safety to -women, than j it is to the north, in the face of this revelation of shamelessness and crime. I dare to say tnat in ail tne annais or crime in the south that the blackman cannot exceed tnis story of the City Hall saloon in baseness. Where does the argument that prohibition In the south is a race issue, fall now.- And do vou for a single moment think that if this case were in Georgia or Alabama that the oourts would haggle for one minute over tne age or me victim, as to wnetn ec she were It or to. A visit to Junction Cltv. Oreron has been of Interest in the study of the local option law. 'In common with other dry territory they, are in . the struggle to make their town In fact what it is in name a "dry"' town, From tne standpoint or one who has watched this- struirffle to make those who have hiterto trampled law under their- feet obedient to it I believe that Oregon cities and. towns are to be congratu lated that . they are doing aa well as they are, with their short experience in meeting-the evasions of an exceedlnglv elusive enemy. It was of interest to know -that the liquor men of Junction are of the opinion that they are in debted to the W. C, T TJ. tor. tha vie i tory of local option In the place. . One of their deposed saloonkeepers was heard to say In discussing the situa tion. "It is them d fool W. C. T. U, women that have made all of this trouble." , Mrs. Helen Baber, a tiny and gentle woman or Huguenot ancestry and south ern birth, has been the leader of the wniteriDAonera in tnis piace many yearn, and the saloonkeepers have a special hatred ror her and i am sure that Mrs. Baber considers their antipathy a com pliment Two Maladies. Mrs. Margaret Houston for a long time Identified with the W. C. T. U. of Junction and now a member of Cen tral union. Portland, comes in for her share of expletives at the hands of the saloonmen of the place. Some of the names that the liciuor men have an- plied to these talented and highly re spected ladles would not look well in print. I am wondering how long good men will be in getting, their eyes open to the nower of the saloon itself to destroy respect ' for womanhood. v Oregon will have to seek, in com mon with other local' option and prohi bitory territory, the passage of a law that will put liquor shipped Into a point strictlv under the operation of the law of that place. . North Carolina has. giv en us the text of a law that has passed the courts and is now In - effect that is popularly called the "anti-Jug law." The main feature of this law Is that the place of delivery of , intoxicants is Lb place of sale, thus putting under i the ban of the law the all too common nipments or intoxicants into "dry'' ter ritory. Much legislation will be needed to make the local option law operative, but Oregon will not have the , long struggle to find effective laws that some states have had aa we can profit by the experience of the older prohibi tion states. I am told that in Coburg, from which this Is written, one of the "blind pig fers" was taken violently sick the-day the posters announcing' my meetings were put up, and had a serious relanoe when an anti-saloon meeting for a few days later was announced. I have not learned the name of his malady. : Capitol Graft Case. . (United Press, Leased Wire.) Harrisburg, Pa Jan. 27. What prom ises to be the most nntabla nrosecatlon of alleged public grafters that has ever mh piace in tnis country was oegun in the Dauphin county court today, when the cases of 14 men charged with conspiracy to defraud In building the Pennsylvania capital were called for trial before Judare Kunkel. Rumors nf colossal frauds in connection with the contracts for building and furnishing the new capitol building gained v cur rency even beforlthe building had been completed and dedicated. A capitol In vestigating commission was appointed to probe the matter to the bottom and the result of Its report was wholesale indictments of nubile' officials, oolitic- lans, contractors.. and. others.
