Thus public opinion has been rap
idly moulded ln favor of more lib

in view of a rapidly Increasing vol

GET GOOD ROADS.
ORE railroads will not ob
viate tbe necessity for more
good wagon roads; will rath
er Increase that necessity. It
is hardly necessary to go over the
arguments that show the great im
portance of good roads again; If all
do not realize the Importance, the
majority certainly do, and know how
greatly any community will be bene
fited by good roads. If this be true,
the work now Is not bo much to con
duct a campaign of education aa to
devise ways and means by which to
move forward to. attain the desired
result. This cansbe done to some
extent by single communities as it
haa been done in the Alsea neighbor
hood, for Instance, and In others. It
can be done under tbe taw oy coun
ties, and . much will be done in this
way. But ln the near future It is
probable that the state Itself will
take an active, affirmative band,
aiding counties with state funds. The
money expended under such a lsw.
If wisely used, would return to the
communities, the counties and the
state many-fold, within a few rears.
A start has been made. Everybody
abould help tbe movement along.
Good roads are of prime Importance.

Not a Safeguard for Women.
Portland. Sept. 29. To the Editor of
me journal xne Journal or Monday
evening contains a letter written by a
wire ana mother" and in defense or
the north end and Its dives. Instead of
tne north end being a safeguard for
women it is a well-known fact that
every bawdy house Is a menace to the
safety of these. If the unfortunate
women are Indeed a protection to women
and as "wife and mother" would have
us believe a preventive of madness
and solitary vices among men they
should be regarded as rjubllc benefactors
and so treated If, at this price, the
safety of women Is purchased, then, In
deed, .women should make both public
and private ' acknowledgment of our
gratitude to those we now shun. Was
there ever such base ingratitude as
both men and women are showing toward
tnese wno ere giving up, according to
the letter in auestion. Innoesnra and
virtue, foregoing homes and the love and
tenderness of little children, that other
women may enjoy these things and be
pafe. becoming a hissing and a bvword
that other women may walk the streets
ln safety, steering straight for the
morgue and the potter's field that other
women may leave names of honor and
die In the shadow of love and purity?
Out upon fuch nonsense and hypoc
risy: ine norm en a is a menace to an

doors of these dens to open for the

to the sanctity of the marriaara altar
and. fatherhood, with tainted blood.
Reference is made In the article In
question to the contagious diseases acts
of England and their repeal. . I recall
an incident of altogether different na
ture to the on mentioned. When the
women of the W. C. T. V., through
whom these unspeakable laws were re
pealed, came back from their sad trip
of investigation In India, they waited
for the time that they were giving their
teatlmonv to the Ena-linh tnv.rnn.nl
with a woman of wealth and culture'who
had a son in the English army. One
day at the solicitation of the hostess.
Miss Bushnell told her of the awful
condition of the women who were kept
there under th law, and the equally
awful danger to the soldier, because
vice was made easy and respectable, also
comparatively sare because tne aanger
of contagion Was supposed to be re
duced to a minimum, tne woman com
mented: "I cannot believe but you are n,rim,nt ho. .hnwn that one Dint of

he would have told me. ur. Bushnell
said: "Call your son and let us ask
him." This was done to hear the re
ply from this bronzed soldier: "Mother,
they have not told you one-half of the
awrulness. No one could. Mother, I
tried to be the man I knew you wanted
me to be. but It was not popular. The
fPovernment makes provision for sin and
tne soldier who tries to be clean, finds
himself shunned as peculiar."
So, Instead of the much vaunted "con
tagious diseases" acts securing safety
for men, they send young men, who had
left their homes clean and pure, back
to marry the Dure daughters of Knar-
land and to send the stream of Impure
Diooa aown tnrouen tne veins or their
own cnnaren.

both moral and physical, that the exist-
ence of the north end guarantees will
be scattered from their doors. My home
is sare, my cniia is in neaven, but from
my vantage ground of safety I pledge
to ao an in my power to give to others
tne same sarety, and I am persuaded
that there are thousands of women In
Portland of the same spirit. Our con
vention next week will study this ques
tion.
If to protect myself I must give even
a passive consent to the Immolation of
zuo women in t'ortiand i will deny such
uruit-ciiun. uci- coia-Dlooaed nenrf-
lessness I have seldom seen as is mani
fested ln the assertion "that there must
be these sad unfortunates to make me
safe." Manhood Is not dead yet, and I
am persuaded that the women of Port
land can depend upon that for their pro
tection from danger. It has been asked
what will become of these women If they
are driven out of teh north end. In
God's name, men, can they possibly go
to a worse pjace than thev now are?
The church spires dotted all over the
city will give guarantee that these
women will be given opportunity to live
honorable lives. . Their companions In
vice are on our streets and In our of
fices, and If we can risk this contamina
