Protest Against Weakening Mann Act
By Chicago Church Federation
Council.
(600 Churches)
In obedience to the rising tide of
moral reformation which has swept
over this country and the whole world
as a result of an awakened concious
ness of the prevalence of unrestrained
immorality which has resulted in the
ruin of girls and the degradation of
humanity, the Congress of the United

uon, as we nave sam, oiu 11 must ue
kept in mind that we are one people;
and the powers reserved to the states
and those conferred on the Nation are
adapted to be exercised, whether in
dependently or concurrently, to pro
mote the general welfare, material
and moral. This is the effort of the
decisions, and surely if the facility of
interstate transportation can be taken
away from the demoralization of lot
teries, the debasement of obscene lit
erature, the contagion of diseased cat
tle or persons, the impurity of food
and drugs, the like facility can be
taken away from the systematic en
ticement to and the enslavement in
prostitution and debauchery of wom
en and more insistently of girls.”
In answer to the plea that it is a
persinal or state question, the Court
replied that:
“If the statute be a valid exercise
of that power, how it may effect per
sons or states is not material to be
considered. It is the Supreme Law
of the land and persons and states are
subject to it.”
Recently wide publicity has been
given to the effective wielding of the
strong arm of a strong govenrment
which has power to capture and pun
ish those scoundrels who cross state
lines in the consummation of their
infamous purposes, in the Diggs and
Caminetti cases at San Francisco.
Certain very influential newspapers
have, strange to say, either knowing
ly or unknowingly, voiced the demand
and wishes of the lecherous men,
both rich and poor, who, feeling the
halter draw or seeing prison bars
staring them in the face, as a conse-

quence of their seduction of young
girls or escapedes with immoral wom
en, have expressed a poor opinion of
the law.
The Chicago Church Federation
Council calls attention to the broad
scope and unmistakable val.dity of
this law, it also calls attention of all
people to the eternal principles of
right and wrong which this Act of
Congress have been written into the
law of the land. We also call atten
tion to the low moral tone existing in
certain prominent and influential
quarters, which makes it possible to
suggest a free and unrestrained lic
ense to those men who give -the first
thrust to girls and women and start
them on the path leading down to the
chambers of death, where at last
white slavery flourishes in all ofi ts
hideous and revolting degradation.
Therefore, Resolved by the Chicago
Church Federation Council in session
on September 29, 1913, that:
We call upon Christian churches
and reform organizations and all men
who desire the safety of our homes,
and upon all good women and wom
en’s organizations, to support this law
in its prohibition of debauchery,
whether for gain or for personal in
dulgence, and we protest against any
weakening of the Mann Act for the
evil gratification of influential men or
others, whose crimes bring the cor
ruption of the innocent or the deeper
corruption of the fallen.
We call upon the President of the
United States and the Deportment of
J ffitice to enforce this low rgorously,
and urge them never to make void
;he law by exempting any class of
offenders fiom its penalties.
(The foregoing resolution was adopt
ed, unanimously, at the first fall meet
ing of the Federation in the Audito
rium of the Central Y. M. C. A., in
Chicago, 111., September 29, 1913.)

H. Z. DUKE COMING TO
MISSISSIPPI.
The announcement is made that H.
Z. Duke, the consecrated Texas mer
chant, is to spend a week, beginning
Nov. 15, in Greenville, Miss., and sur
rounding country. The fact that this
practical business man has more than
twenty stores at work for God, giving
all his income above a liv.ng to
different causes in the great cause of
the kingdom, is an inspiration to
Christian workers the country over.
He never meant for it to be told, but
his pastor, George W. Truett, told it
to the Southern Baptist Convention in
order to illustrate a great principle—
and since then, in a modest, humble
spirit Mr. Duke has been encourag
ing others with the thrilling story of
how he started by giving a tenth,
and has finally reached the joyous ex
perience of giving all.
CONSIDER THIS.
A debt of over $2,000.0'0 was incur
red in a southern state fighting the
bloody liquor traffic. I have a good
stock of most excellent religious
books on hand. If people who love
God and hate the booze devil will

your full money’s worth and at the
same time help the good work.
