8 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 olaico UAt u uxiC xuiv, u.xl etui - - w —.— - - . - - - . * .. . v. - x. • x*-*--* a- V * w x* —' Ixax-aa, xxAxW.

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- NEWS FROM THE WORKERS THE GOLDEN AGE FOR WEEK OF OCT. 9 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.)

EVANS PIANO CO., Dept. B CHICAGO, ILL./ N ‘” Address 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.
