The Case Against the Red Light
description: Venereal disease bulletin, no. 54. Public health pamphlet arguing that prostitution spreads venereal disease and cannot be "segregated, licensed, and made sanitary." Excerpt: "But every investigating committee that has reported on conditions in any large American city has condemned the whole buisness, although its members were often in favor of segregation when they began to investigate. The American army has tried all systems. General Pershing writes: Many of us who have experimented with licensed prostitution or kindred measures, hoping thereby to minimize the physical evils, have been forced to the conclusion that they are really ineffective, Abraham Flexner has argued the case so convincingly that on the scientific side it seems to me there is no escape from the conclusion that what he terms 'abolition' as distinguished from 'regulation' is the only effective mode combating this age-long evil. Don't be misled by underworld arguments. The Evidence is all against the red light."

No Forced Labor Camps for American Youth! [American Student Union pamphlet]
description: Pamphlet published by the American Student Union, a national left-wing organization of college students active in the 1930s. The group consisted of both communists and socialists, who argued over the group's stance on pacificism in the face of Hitler's rise to power and events in Europe. The pamphlet advocates for the American Youth Act, a youth assistance bill proposed by the American Youth Congress as an alternative to the National Youth Administration. The AYA was never able to get out of committee on Capitol Hill, however, as it was too costly. "Foreward: This little pamphlet is published by the American Student Union as a warning to undergraduates to act quickly in defense of democratic education and peace, lest the enemies of our liberties succeed in their plan to regiment youth and precipitate us again into foreign war. The facts it reveals are but a partial presentation, due to space limitations, of available information on the subject. The questions it asks are vital to the welfare of every student. The campaign it proposes to launch deserves the support of every American student."

Can the Americanization of our foreign population succeed without the cooperation of the mother? Past failure is due largely to the fact that no intelligent effort has been made to face the situation of the immigrant woman, who either has an infant in her arms or is expecting a baby..." "PATRIOTIC MEETINGS should be organized and conducted by suffragists in every foreign quarter in the United States. Music stereoptican picutres and speeches in foreign languages should be among the attractions. Learn the art of making these patriotic meetings so attractive that the crowds will have to be shut out instead of coaxed in." p. 2-3 "AMERICANIZATION AND INDUSTRY. LABOR IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS in the war. We must not only feed, clothe and arm our own soldiers, sailors and civilians; we must also assist our allies.

Anti-Allies and the Dog [editorial cartoon by Blanche Ames Ames]
description: Editorial cartoon by Blanche Ames Ames from the front page of Woman's Journal and Suffrage News, vol. 46, no. 40 (Saturday, October 2, 1915). "Anti-Allies and the Dog" shows a woman wearing a hat marked "Anti" impeding the progress of a woman on horseback who carries the banner Woman Suffrage. The Anti has tied a rope to one of the horse's elgs. Hidden behind a wall are other forces helping to slow the progress of Woman suffrage: "Bo$$," "Vicious Interests," "Liquor Interests," and a dog with "Reardon" tied to his tail. Reardon may refer to Representative Dennis F. Reardon of Boston, who voted against woman suffrage and founded a Voters Anti-Suffrage League.
