Click on image to zoom in
J. Ernest Paxson shares several anecdotes that he feel serve as examples disagreeing with Theodore Roosevelt’s recent editorial in the Outlook on “White Slavery.” Several women Paxson interacted with seemed to be in poor circumstances through their own choices, and did not take offers of help to remove them from their situation. He also comments briefly on socialists.
