TO RESUME MILK FIGHT
Mrs. MOrehOuse Resumes Cam pdign
for Better SuDDlU.

The very day Mrs c. l.. Morehouse. OF No. s2s
West 30th street decided return to the fight for
a better milk supply the price for that commodity
in her neighborhood increased from cents
a quart 8 cents. while persons in other sections
Of the city had been paying cents for the same
amount OF milk. and IS high 20 cents else
where Mrs Morehouse declared yesterday that
COWS do not produce a special milk Cor special
neighborhood'' and she sees in the present ag1ta-
ton for higher prices a menace to the welfare OF
the average consumer
This shows" she said that somebody is trying
10 swindle the people" but Mrs. Morehouse does
not believe is right for the rich TO be swinded
any more than II the poor be made 10
suffer. Mrs. Morehouse. who says the efforts to
make obligatory pasteuriZation of all milk sold
in this city were defeated through her efforts be-
fore the Board OF Aldermen last spring, hopes that
the people will Join in her fight for self-protec-
tion. She says: Il am afraid that II nothing is
done something will occur"
Mrs Morehouse believes that the activity OF the
boards of health and the State Agricultural De-
partment responsible for the present conditions
which bordering the famine mark. AS the
wife of a physician she depIores "the many great
fanatics among medical men" That there no
microbes she is very positive Neither is she afraid
that milk will carry typhoid fever germs and she
is backed by her husband in the declaration that
the fever In every case results from too much
physical activity In play and overtaxing the brain
in much study.
The fact that ]. Pierpont Morgan neglected TO
sign Mrs. Warehouses; non-pasteurizaton petition
presented to the Board of Aldermen last spring
will deter her from endeavoring to enlist his
assistance in whatever movements she may decide
to make In the future. Il felt hurt that Mr.
Morgan ignored my efforts" she said "for he is
doing the best 1 could to take the people from

Governor Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, lately chosen United States Senator, is emitting a few preliminary roars, just to exercise the voice which he intends to let obstreperously loose ill Washington. He is quoted as declar- ing that the Senate needs an old fashioned TOW, and that he and Till man, Bob Taylor of Tennessee, and Vardaman of Mississippi are the lads to raise it. Taylor and Vardaman may possibly cooperate with him so far as they can, but Tillman is Sena- torial weight-carrier, and although he is always liable to perform antics for his own relief, he is not at all likely to perform them to oblige per sons of the size of Governor Davis. We surmise that the effect of the Sem ate on the new Senator from Arkan- sas will be much greater than Davis effect on the Senate-Harper's Week. ly,

 Monument for Each State.

A committee appointed at the U. c. V. convention in Fort Smith in Octo- Der for the purpose of raising a mon- ument in this state to the memory of the noble women who suffered during the war, met yesterday at the new Marion hotel in Little Rock. Mgr. J. M. Lucey of this city was chosen chairman and Gen. J. Kellogg was elected secretary. Other members of the committee present were ex-Gov. Dan w. Jones and Col. Charles Coffin. The subject was discussed at length, but no plan has been decided upon as yet for the raising of the funds. 1t was believed that $1,500 would be nec- essary. It is proposed to erect mon- ument in the state house yard. Mgr. Lucey returned to Pine Bluff yester- day.
 The movement for erecting these monuments is general and each state will erect one of the same pattern as that chosen by the general U. c. ". committee.

She is so- ciety leader whose influence in social matters is based both on her personal charms and on her progressiveness and activity in movements for the general good.
