(By'Ada Wllc Unruh, Corresponding
I secretary. 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

'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
