A SOCIAL EVIL.
(To the Editor.) ; - Sir, —I consider the Rev. Alason struck the true note when he took up the .cudgels on behalf of fallen (?) women, what of fallen men, the so-called ;>-o----.tectprs of the weaker sex? The prostitute is watched and shadowed and shunned, but her male customers go unscathed, many taking disease into homes and transmitting it to innocent off- ' spring. To hunt these poor creatures irom pillar to post does not lessen the evil; it is only scattering it further •field, as it were. It is high time a committee of capable men and women got .together, and form strong resolutions to cope with the social evil. Of the evils, already in our military camps, it is -heartrending even to hear the little we '■An. Every fallen woman was at one tine somcones girl-child; or a brightfaced, happy girl; the pride of some lather's heart. —I am, etc., MERELY MOTHER.
