The tonio qualities of Peruna, com

make It an Ideal remedy for such

vice Intensified; that license is a flat
failure; while annihilation does not
annihilate but favors clandestine vice.
It is liquor which of all the causes
of prostitution which Mr. Funk most
bitterljvarraigns. He declares It to be
the veritable handmaiden of vice and
that the only way of dealing commer
cialized vice is by drifting out of busi
ness the liquor dealer.
Mr. Funk also takes the position
that the matter of preventing vice is
up to the police. He says In full:
"THE OPEN DOOR"
By J. Clarence Funk
"In these days of intense publicity
directed towards a subject which ten,
! even five, years aso was looked upon
as flt only to discuss in professional
gatherings, one should stop a moment
to discover whether or not that which
'is now so boldly flaunted In the news
papers. magazines and from the lec
ture platform is really as bad as is
suggested, and whether the remedies
mentioned, or those which have been
adopted are, after all. of real value.
"If there Is any excuse for filling the
public print with articles that offend
modesty, and which tend to engage the
attention not only of the mature but
also the youth of our land, it lies in
the hope that the knowledge of con
ditions will protect innocence and
bring forth an effective remedy. If
these objects are not to be attained,
the subject would better be left bur
led deep in the grave of "false mod
esty and criminal indifference."
"White Slavery"
"To-day the term *white slavery' is
common, so common indeed that
sohool girls and boys fully appreciate
its significance, which is saying much.
But. though the term is generally used,
it is as generally misapplied. In
stances there are, undoubtedly, where
virtue has been betrayed by means of
the padlock, but such cases even In
the large cities are much fewer than
popular opinion imagines them to be.
There are reasons for this. In the
first place the market is already
j stocked with willing victims, making
the adoption of desperate measures
unnecessary. From the public (lance
I hall to a serious wickedness Is but a
>U>p, ami this path Is traveled by thou
sands each year. Stores and factories,
with their stunting influences, throw
upon the night hundreds of girls who
will seize upon the slightest thing
that promises diversion; which only
too frequently leads to resorts of ques
tionable character In company with
disreputable male companions. Again,
there are many young women who by
reason of their tendencies seem natu
rally to fall Into "the life." Prostitu
tion is recognized as the 'feminine
equivalent of criminality In the male,
satisfying the characteristics of the
criminal.'
The Common Thing
"Literature which would have shock
ed French realists in days gone by;
moving pictures Inexcusably salacious;
| the motorcycle with its rear seat, in
viting the young girls into loneiy and
unfrequented spots; and the common
and notorious agency of the 'joy-ride,'
] are to-day doing much of the work
| accredited to white slavers. We must
| therefore, distinguish between white
(slavery and prostitution; the former
lis the exception, the latter common.
"Admirable as Its purpose is, and
effective as it has proved to be under
the efficient direction of the United
States Special Commissioner for the
Suppression of the White Slave Traf

punishes interstate commerce in wo
men and girls, with or without their
consent, plays but a part in the at
tempt to remedy the evil in general.
The great disease is a matter entire
ly within the jurisdiction of the States
and presents itself in the form of
public prostitution.
"Much has been heard of vice com
missions, Investigations into police
graft and control, the low-wage scale,
reclamation, segregation, license,
quarantine and annihilation.
Results of Different Methods
"Quarantine, which is policing a
house so closely that none can enter,
has been effective merely in driving
the evil to different parts of the city;
thus plaguing not one or more large
spots, but many small ones. Segrega
tion, which marks off an area ln
which all of the unfortunate women
must live subject to police restriction,
has served to turn prostitution into
its worst state—vice centralized means
vice intensified. Annihilation, which
as the term implies, is the complete
removal of resorts, does not annihi

clandestine prostitution. License,

regulation can only be effective, if at
all, at large cost, and if made so de
velops an attractive and supposedly
safe market, thereby favoring vice.
Xo Suitable Plan
i though the vice commis
sions have generally concluded that
tne evil is widespread and must be
stopped, they have, as yet, apparently
not been able to discover a suitable
plan to lessen the scourge. In short,
the remedies so far applied have la
mentably failed, and the logical con
clusion is that they failed because
i.n vvero »°t the proper ones.
Prostitutes are subjects for su
preme pity—unfortunate, outcast, and
ror the most part Irreclaimable unless
directed towards Bond Influences earlv
in their careers. The life in a few
j ears makes neuresthenics of them,
and their condition becomes patholo
gical, gome there are who claim thev
are not past saving, but If this be so.
the methods of accomplishment have,
as yet, not shown actual results. The
argument that many women leave the
lite voluntarily, and because of mar
riage or for other reasons return to
honorable conditions, is scarcely a
reason for believing that those who
remain would yield to reformative in
fluences.
Girls Have "Friends"
Almost universally, though thev
? , deny these girls have
friends upon whom they lavish their
distorted ideas of affection, giving
n, 1 ? 1 their earnings, and sometimes
willingly receiving curses and blows In
exchange.
Undoubtedly there is a system of
procuration used by these 'friends,'
ror they compose the 'cadet' class;
but the point to be emphasized is, that
this system is not directed towards in
nocence and virtue, but towards sub
jects who either are already in the life
or, by reason of home conditions, in
nato character or force of clrcum
stances, lend a ready ear to advance
ments. It does, and always will, go
hand In hand with prostitution.
Cure Rests With Police
For the curative standpoint, the
laws already upon the statute books
are In a general way sufficient provid
lng they are properly enforced. A
civil service police organization free
from graft and influence of the 'men
!• .. er Y p '' wou 'd give the application
. m 6 a tr emendous force.
'The real question, then, before the
American city to-day is. what can we
..I?. stop the mak ing of prostitutes?
"Ith all of our vaunted progress
and civilization, an observer can not
but notice demoralizing Influences in
our conventions. For example, the
dance of to-day engeged in by society,
and imitated In private and public
(lanrv halls, is immodest, to say the
least. The predominating element in
the steps is one of sex appeal. Esthe
tics and grace are forgotten anti
quated Coupled with this is the state
of dress, or rather undress, which
draws little distinction between the
girl and the demimonde. When
this Is considered, one needs not seek
for a reason for the present 'tango'
madness. Undoubtedly a certain
amount of protection is afforded the
society girl, for the men In her own
set, dissolute as some of them may be,
will generally let her alone, see'king
instead the attractive side street-girl
for whom they have no concern or re
spect. But the power of form and
custom thus established permeates the
lower strata, and the public dance hall
becomes, bad as It was at best, one of
the great agencies in the demoraliza
tion of young, womanhood.
Cigaret Smoking
"Cigaret smoking among the 'best'
wo m e n m our large cities is becoming
alarming, and their lesser sisters by
power of imitation, are taking to the
habit. Cosmetic* are now being used
with a boldness and generality that
was comparatively unknown off the
stage a few years ago. In short, the
shrine of sense-and-sex to-day stands
high in the regard of American civili
zation.
"It is not fair to say that the coun
try is in a retrogressive state, but It
appears that though we are placing
much stress upon the humanities in
legislation, and in the practical appli
cation in the spirit of the brother
hood of man, the individual has tem
porarily lost sight of himself, with the
demoralizing conditions already noted
as a result. ,
The intelligent mother must realize
the duty she owes not onlv to her
own daughter, but also to the daugh
ters of others, who will be influenced
by her judgment, or the lack of it.
The place above all others for modesty
and other protective elements of char
acter to be formed, is in the homo;
and if the woman of social position
continues in her indiscretions of dress
and conduct, little blame can logically
attach to those who follow in her
train.
Curfew a Crying Need
The curfew is a crying need, par
ticularly in the smaller cities and
towns. Between the hours of eight
and eleven young girls can be seen in
numbers promenading the main thor
oughfares, and for no good purpose
Here is the field in which the 'cadet''
works, making the acquaintance of the
unprotected: thus frequently leading
in a comparatively short while to the
'open door.' If parents will not keep
their children at home of their own
accord, the law should compel them
to do so.
"Education, unquestionably, is also
a main factor, one of the greatest.
There is no desire to depreciate the
power of publicity and methods which
might be styled sensational; they have
been, and will continue to be, of un
told value. Not only is this true with
reference to the city, but its force has
been most definitely felt in rural dis
tricts. The farmer and his wife, by
reason of their acquaintance with the
subject through the press, are going
to be less trustful of the man or wo
man who seeks their daughter for a
'good Job in the city.'
Liquor the Pillar of "Open Door"
"But the pillar upon which this
whole unsavory business rests is liquor
In eight-tenths of the open-door
houses, liquor is sold in direct viola
tion of law. For jt the proprietress
obtains large prices without which
revenue she declares she 'could not
keep her house going.' Fully sixty per
cent, of 'the trade' buy beer or whisky
from her. Of this number forty-five
per cent, would not go near the house
if they had not already indulged; and
it is safe to say that few, if anv, who
visit these places after having already
imbibed, cease drinking when they
enter. The fact is, that the real
drinking begins only then. Fifteen of
the sixty per cent, possibly, visit
places of 111-repute only to drink after
they are Inside. This leaves forty
per cent, who have nothing to do with
liquor, and who, therefore, unlmpelled
