THE QUESTIONS UNANSWERED.
Where do these thousands of women come from?
What are their varied pasts?
Who are their mothers and fathers?
What strange circumstances brought them here?
Who is accountable to God for this wholesale slaughter in women’s souls?
Those are questions that come to the mind when one enters any den of infamy in any of the four “redlight” districts of Chicago.
Every one of these questions has a thousand answers. The solutions to these social problems are as numerous as the women who create the problems.
These women come from every city in the United States, from the farm houses of God-fearing farmers, from the gabled cottage of little country towns, from the hovels of the poor of the great city and from the palaces of the rich of the same city.
