THE MILK QUESTION
We'll Kuown Dealer Says Inc
 Price Must Be Raised.

The milk question Is very much In evidence these times, and no wonder, for like water, 1t is something every body uses and naturally all are inter ested in having the quality up to the standard and the price low enough to enable people of modest means to get all they want. The dealers complain that the papers are not using them right and as a result they have a hard time answering questions. A man who produces nearly all the milk he sells said to-day that there Is no intention of making the price ten or eleven cents this fall, but 1t will be eight or nine, and necessarily so, too, in order that those who handle 1t may be able to get living out of the business and have a dollar left.
 "A man who cant get anything but living out of peddling milk will not stay at 1t long, because he can do better at something else. l know there is some slight difference of opinion as to what the price ought to be under the present conditions. A dealer who produces his own milk or the greater portion of it is in better position to sell at price to suit his customers than one who buys all his supply from somebody else, and on this account it is difficult to fix a price that will suit. The dealer who buys his stock tells his customers that he must have so much in order to make good and perhaps he is right. Then on comes the fellow who pro- duces his own milk and informs the woman on the next foor that his price is less than the vendor who sup plies the other family charges and so it goes But milk will be higher, not more than nine cents for the bottled article and eight out of the can. It costs cent to bottle 1t and in fact most dealers would prefer to sell at a cent less out of the can than get the additional cent in bottles. Feed is high, labor costs more and the new sanitary code adds to the cost of pro- duction and the customer might just as well make up his mind that he will have to shoulder share of the in- creased cost The aldermen passed a city ordinance some time ago that greatly increased the cost of houses and as consequence tenants have to pay more than they would be charged if the cost of construction was less, so when you newspaper men sit down to write about milk you should make it point to present all sides of 1t to your readers. If you do this it will not require anything beyond ordi- nary intelligence to see that if the milkman charges more per quart now than formerly the extra pennies go to somebody that does not appear in the transaction at all, the feed man, the blacksmith, the carriage maker, the hired man, the lumber dealer, the shoe dealer, the grocer, the dry goods man, the harness maker and others"
 Perhaps this is fair statement of the case. Feed that you could get a few years ago for 95 cents or $1 a bag costs $1.S0 now and everything else has gone up in proportion. The dealers lay all this to the trusts that have sprung into existence in recent years and appear to have the people by the throats, and worse than all many of the sufferers show no dispo- sition to assist in shaking them off

WIDOWS HELPED By HISTORY
Mr.. Roosevelt Probably Remembered
April 10, 1775.
Signed Widows Pensions BiH on
Sunday, April 10, IsOS-Bona-
parte Holds Measure Valid.

The God of Battles is no doubt respon-
sible for it. although other reasons might
be given by cynical men who believe in
playing politics at this time Of the year.
But, in addition, it ought to be remem-
bered that the 18th of April Is the ami
versary of the battle Of Lexington. which
was Immediately preceded by Mr.. Paul
Revere's all-night seoreh through New
England
It must also be noted that If any one
is likely to be partial to the history Of
brave encounters it is the descendant of
the brother of the greatest of Europe's
soldiers and the former colonel of the
Rough Riders.
With these small, but very germane,
preliminary details, it may be added that
the God of Battles. the relative of NapoI-
con and the Mr.. Roosevelt, who is now
President. but who used to be in COM
mand OF the First United States volun-
teer Cavalry, all combined together IN
make April 10, 1905, another red-letter dav
in the history of American soldierv.
Tradition emanating directly from the
White House hath said through the pub
lie prints that on April l9 President
Roosevelt signed the widows pension
bill. which provides for an Increase OF. 81
a month to the widows Of thousands Of
war veterans.
Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt forgot that This
famous date was this year a Sunday. but
some legal light in the Pension Bureau
or some other government department
had no such qualms. This legal fount of
after the Pension Bureau had
been going on the assumption that all
things were lovely with the new law.
dug up the question of its validity.
Sunday, unfortunately. happens to be
legal holiday in the United states-a dies
non IN law-and consequently the Pen
sion Bureau worried INCREASINGLY and
feared that it had done things which
would not hold water.
Here is where the paternity of Mr.
Bonaparte shows. The Pension Bureau.
or some one else who wanted TO know
submitted the question OF the laws va
ldity to the Attorney General. Not long
did he deliberate. but exceedingly well.
Perhaps he, too, remembered that
April IS was the anniversary of the
battle of Lexington, and thought how
it would be to have a law
which aids the widows Of late soldiers of
America become effective on the an
niversary Of that day on which men died
first for this nations independence.
At any rate. Mr. Bonaparte, il is under
stood. decided that the bin was law, as
L. had been signed, and so informed the
Pension Bureau. There are others who
hold that perhaps there is some shadow
about the bills validity, but it would be
mighty hard to spell such a romance.
