Editorial Notes and Clippings WHITE SLAVERY PROTECTED IN B. C. In British Columbia there exists a condition of af- today fairs which, with the possible of the It has been our pride and boast that the British law all powerful: that the must quake and tremble at the of British authority. held ourselves aloof exception Russia, is un- known in civilized world was evildver majesty We and sneered at the administra- tion of justice in the United States, but we people of British Columbia can do so no more. There is not a single state in the Union which has not a better administration of law than, has British Columbia, and we acknowledge it with shame. have In no country in the world where there is a semblance of constitutional government would the attorney general dare to override the laws as has Attorney General Bowser, of this province. Today Brit- ish Columbia is practically in a state of anarchy—there is no law, except that of one man, and in the might of strength of the Conservative majority in the Legislature he rules. Vancouver altained, because of its underworld and_ the gilded life of the night, a most unenviable reputation from San Deigo to Cape Nome. The number of immoral women within its limits was astonish- ing. It became so bad that it was not safe for a respectable girl to walk alone on the streets in broad daylight, and accom- panied ladies were often in- sulted. The police, under the able supervision of Chief Chamberlain and Deputy Chief Mulhern, saw all this and the moment that the Police Com- missioners gave the word and the task of cleaning the city was given to the deputy chief, the detectives and policemen were set to work. The first day over a hundred fallen women were dragged to jail and were given by the magistrate three days in which to leave the city. Those found after that period were sentenced to imprison- ment, without the option of a fine. The police had performed their duty and the magistrate, on the authority of the criminal a { is\T ? BY GOULN I BEL\EVeE_ code of Canada sentenced these girls to jail. They were taken to New Westminster, and here it was Attorney-General Bow- interfered. The commiut- ment papers were taken from the policeman in charge ot the prisoners and were torn up and the prostitutes were turned loose ‘on orders.’ Since that time this farce in justice has been repeated, and Bowser does not hesitate in announc- ing that it was done by his authority. ser Does a man steal a piece ol bread he is sentenced and has to serve out his term in jail, and fo more is thought about it. The law demands it and the court following out” the instructions of the code, sen- tences the thief, but harlots and lewd women, who prey innocent young girls and drag them down to than death, are protected by Attor- ney-General Bowser. Surely a minister of the government on worse of British Columbia is not bound to the women of the street! What is then that causes him to set aside the law, defy the courts, not only police, but higher tribunals of justice. For the county court has sustained the action of Magistrates South and Shaw in sentencing the offenders. It then follows that Bowser is over the law, and therefore there is no iaw but Bowser’s. Is there a law abiding citi- zen in this province who does not feel ashamed to know that the white slave traffic in inno- cent girls may proceed freely and openly in British Colum- bia protected by the gov- ernment? Do not fathers rebel at the suggestion? Is there a mother’s heart in the land which does not tighten at the thought? But neverthe- less it is true. Those girls sentenced and freed can not be re-arrested during the time of “their supposed = incarceration in jail, and unafraid of police interference they openly carry on the traffic in souls in the largest city in the province. oO—---—— - NO HYBRID POLICY. “Oh you Tory jingoes!
