Excerpt from Horrors of the White Slave Trade: The Mighty Crusade to Protect the Purity of Our Homes
"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." That the truth may be known throughout the world concerning the traffic in girls and women, and that these poor fellow beings may, through the knowledge of truth, be set free from bondage is the hope of the writers of this book. To protect the purity and sanctity of the home, to open the door of forgiveness to the prodigal daughter, as well as the prodigal son, to warn young womanhood against the snares of girl slave traders and to raise clean, honest manhood to the golden pinnacle of youth's ambition is the reason facts are here set forth often times unvarnished, ungilded and unpainted. Because in the past truth has been clothed in a mantle of mystery and facts have only been whispered in secret, traders in human souls have thrived and grown rich. These arch-enemies to society, the lowest of the lowly creatures on this earth, dwell in darkness; they welcome secrecy, ignorance and false modesty; they abhor light; they stifle truth and trample upon innocence.
There is just one way to solve the social evil problem, and that is the way of education. A great campaign of education against the girl traffic, the blackest cloud overhanging civilization today, is under way in many countries. Education in the home, the school, the municipality, the state and the government.
In this campaign are social reformers. Educators are beginning to realize its vital importance as they never have before. Lawyers, doctors, business men and women are engrossed with it. The churches have cast aside the cloak of over scrupulous delicacy, and modesty, and are gradually assuming their responsibility.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the grim reality of the white slave trade, a pervasive social evil that flourished in the early 20th century. The author, a former Assistant States Attorney, provides a chilling firsthand account of the trade's inner workings, drawing on his own experiences prosecuting those involved. Through the harrowing story of Mildred Clark, a young woman tricked into a life of forced prostitution, the book exposes the brutal methods employed by traffickers to ensnare their victims. The book goes beyond simply exposing the trade's mechanics; it calls for a fundamental shift in societal attitudes towards women, challenging the double standard of morality that often protected men while condemning women for the same actions. The author advocates for a comprehensive approach to combating this evil, emphasizing the need for education, public awareness, and legal reform. This book, written at a time when the white slave trade was a hidden and often denied reality, offers a stark reminder of the exploitation and injustice faced by countless women and the urgent need for societal change.
