In doing this I have done but little more than express to the House the line of reasoning along which my mind has traveled in reaching the conclusion that I ought to give this bill my hearty support. It is designed to destroy the revolting situation which has grown up in the last few years through the importation and interstate transportation of women and girls for immoral purposes. No adequate idea of the extent or the horrors of this traffic in white women can be formed without an investigation of the report made by the Immigration Commission. a portion of which is contained in Senate Document 196. Some of the leading magazines of the country have given the subject attention. but none of them could go into it as fully as the document to which I have referred. Some time last summer I read a copy of the magazine published by that remarkable citizen of the State of Georgia.
