Defender always takes a brave stand on all questions and speaks the truth from the shoulder as may be seen from the following. It deals with a subject that is often brought before the courts, but the question that has always entered our mind is why these women (if robbery be their purpose) don't capture some man of their own race. There are plenty of colored men with healthy bank rolls whom they could "touch," but to their credit it can be safely said they do not associate with such people. But we cannot say as much for our white brothers, that is if a yelp tells when a dog is hit, for seldom a week passes that the way place for a purposebwhen some white man bent on immoral intentions is yelling like a Sioux buck about being "held up" by a Negro woman. The Defender says: "Two colored women were arreed and, charged with robbing Frank Irk, (white) of $75, and were sentenced to 60 days in the work house. Had this white gentleman (?) Frank Irk, been at home with his wife and children, like decent men should, he would not be minus his money. Why The Journal did not tell its readers the truth about Frank Irk, this holy white man? Why did they not tell its readers that Mr. Irk was up in an alley trying to commit a sin with those loose women? The Journal tried to make it appear that this man was held up on the streets. There are many more such cases where white men are slipping up alleys after these unfortunate women and then go and get a policeman to arrest them. And the next day they are railroaded to the work house. Who is responsible for the downfall of these poor wretches? LINCOLN LOSES TO QUINDARO BY GEO. K. WILLIAMS. In one of the most spectacular games ever witnessed in this section, the husky lads of Lincoln Institute suffered an overwhelming defeat as the hand of the fast, well-trained Kansas athletes of Western University in their annual closing game of foot-ball played in Kansas City on Thursday afternoon, Nov. 26th. To the casual observer, considering the big, beefy players, it was an impossible game for the Westerners, but the student of the game, well versed in the fine points and requirements, it was easily conceded to be a victory of speed, endurance and "step" over weight, size and over-confidence. The Kansans showed splendid training in all stages of the game and only by their dogged determination, lively spirit, speed and good generalship, did they win. During the first and second quarters, the Westerners could not penetrate the heavy Lincoln line, which outweighed them, almost ten pounds to a man and although somewhat wildered at the Lincoln style of play, changed their tactics and in the third and fourth quarters "opened up" and started a series of trick formations, fake plays, etc., that puzzled the Missourians who were unable to solve the well executed plays by the Quindaro lads. Lincoln Shows Over Confidence. Coming back with plenty of ginger and brilliant playing, the Kansas lads echeled ends, tore through the tackles for big gains and marched down the field to the tune of 24 to 12. It was quite evident that the Lincolnites were over confident as they scored the first two touchdowns in the first and second quarters, which they anticipated on winning the game and victory. They seemed equally amazed, however, when Capt. Manly tore through the heavy-line for the first touch down for Western and from that time on showed low split, nervousness and their inability to regain their tactics. The fast back field of the Kansas team showed splendid form and were very much in evidence in all playing. both on defense and offense. Capt. Manly and Baugh made great gains in carrying the-ball. Jordan, the veteran end played the most brilliant game in his career in foot-ball in this section. His work was clean, accurate and spectacular. Meadames Bedell, Landis, Hazel Davis and Miss Beatrice Davis were in the city Sunday.

White Slave Act a Protector for Women of of Loose Morals. Outside of two federal judges the interpretation placed upon the Mann white slave law is only working to make more criminals, for every old "battle-strap" that roams the alleys and finds consolation in the lowest dens of vice are busy picking suckers to "bleed" or send them to prison for not being "bled." In the first place the law was enacted to put a stop to the practice of alluring girls and women from the smaller towns and cities on the promise of employment in order to land them into houses of ill repute in the larger cities, but when a girl or woman goes off on a trip the destination and purpose of which is known to her, deserves no protection from the law, but should be punished under the law as equally guilty with the man. We believe that such a one-sided law can be of no further use than a weapon of revenge, and no decent, self respecting woman will ever be found as a plaintiff in such cases; always that lewd element, that adventurous class of women who live as parasites on the public—women who would rather live in shame and degradation and be dissolute than to live in a mansion in purity and according to the command of the Bible. It has already been suggested by a prosecuting attorney that the law as now being interpreted is a dungeous 'aw; should be made to cover the wo. man in the case as well as the man. When a woman or girl is duped into a life of shame there is some excuse for the Mann act—in cases where girls and wonten are lured away from home on glittering premises of work and landed in some house of prostitution, drugged and debauched—then such a law is needed; but where a woman goes away with a man for no other reason than a "good time" the Mann act was not made for her.

The office is now of the place, where it takes big money to operate, and for, the last year we have labored, under great disadvantage to carry on our business. To issue from 9,000, tq 10,000 papers a week, with from 30, to 60 columns of reading matter, with from 1 to 10 clerks, printers, etc. to pay requires no small outlay of money. Now, if one or two people owe a year's subscription or even two or more years we could live in slower, but when those we owe us run up to thousands we find hard "pick-up" at times and the encouragement that we should receive seems far in the future.
