Fifty years ago milk retailed in

that was better for the farmer than
now. The milkman stopped at a
given place, and the women came
there for their milk, and If they
were tardy they had to run to the
next stopping place. Now, tell me,
girls, how would you like to do that
now and do it while stars were yet
shining or do without; no second
trip and no bottles then?
Butter is not dear, by any means.
You cannot get a pound of butter
from less than ten quarts of milk.
Eggs are high, only because scarce.
You cannot induce hens to lay just
because they are four cents apiece.
You can buy eggs good enough for
most any purpose for less than
three cents each, but If you must
have the best, regardless of cost,
why pay it and don't begrudge the
hen her "inalienable rights" for,

a whole days work, and very likely
$50 days none at all.
In the fall of 1907 a woman COM

awhile she said peaches. There al

Are Men really GalIants

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Dear Sir-Is the average man
really c~onsiderate in his relation TO
or is his show of gal
lantry inspired by %selfshness n
the craving for admiration? l am
moved to ask this question by the
daily occurrences in u public
conveyances that may be noted by
any close observer.
Take any car upon u puphc
lines. Standing room is available
but the seats are occupied-mostly
by men. Let an attractive woman
enter and she is embarrassed by the
avidity with which the men spring
to their feet. and confused by h
many seats offered her. But per-
sonal attraction is not the only
medium by which seats may be OBJ
tanned. Deep-rooted in the heart
of the average man hes a. feeling
which he may try to hide, put
which nevertheless impels him to
stand subsequently in the presence
of wealth. Accordingly, a woman
arrayed in costly furs and other
evidences of wealth may enter with
confidence a crowded car, for seats
in abundance will be offered her.
From these occurrences one would
infer that an abiding respect is at
the bottom of this show of gall
lantry. But how do we reconcile
1t with the treatment which women
less attractive and less wealthy re-
ceive? Frail women rock back and
forth on the hanging straps. while
the men sit engrossed in their
papers. Such women are without
the charm of personal attraction.
Their clothing is old and frayed.
Their hearts and dispositions may
be clean and beautiful, but their ex-
terror offends the aesthetic tastes
of snowy gallantry. In consequence
they are left standing, the drawn
and care-worn faces and the droop-
ing bodies being alike unnoticed.
PoItuIldltly, titIc 10 d. picdSdiitSi
side to this picture. Many men, es-
pecially those of advanced years,
are ever ready to give way to
woman in whatever walk of life and
to bestow upon them their due OF
respect and esteem, but this is due
to the feelings and instincts of the
past generation. not of the present.
I fear, Mr.. Editor, that I may
have answered my own inquiry, but
I await your enlightenment. I am
hopeful that you may be able to
convince me that true manhood
would never permit a woman to
bear a burden which may be re-
lieved and that this standard DOM
mates masculinity. Very truly
yours, FORMER DAYS.

II LAST WORD.

The absolutely groundless report
that we might have something TO
say about the Governors appoiht-'
ments has caused us no end of an
noyance. We have been besieged
with requests to intercede in be-
half of aspirants for office.
We wish to say once and for all
that the Governor. 50 far as we are
concerned, has a free hand in MAX
ing his selections. This fact will be
demonstrated after the nominations
go to the Senate, when it is seen
how few, if any, of our friends Sc
cured any of the plums.

HOW TO TEST THE
STRICTLY FRESH EGG

infalible test of the quality of the egg. A fresh egg is a fresh egg
only when it will sink in salt water. If it doesn't sink down to
the bottom it $ a stale egg. A test SO simple can be used by every.
body. In making his demonstration the government chemist took
eggs bought in market as strictly fresh" and placed them in salt
water. All of them hoated lightly. Then he submitted really
fresh eggs to the same test, and they sank to the bottom. A dealer
who sells stale eggs marked "fresh' is amenable to the Federal
food and drug act, which forbids false labelling, under penalties.
With a test so simple every consumer can play the detective on
the seller of stale eggs.

WHEAT AND CHAEF
IN LEGISLATION

the cry that the power of the legislative representatives of the
people to pass laws should be curtailed. 1t is a poor Judgment
that would affirm there was no necessity for the Legislature al a
session to pass any measures except merely in behalf of the States
finances, departments and institutions. The great body of the
statutes constantly needs revision. Questions arise in a year that
it is the bounden duty of the Legislature to meet-pubic necessi
ties arise, evils develop and emergencies happen. There are county
and municipal interests to consider, as well as those of the State.
The demand for the curtailment of legislation does not come from
the people, but FROM the politicians, and, il may be added, also, from
interests that have nothing to gain and something to1ose sbNlegist
lation. The difficulty always%is ID, get good laws. In pfaceaof

Cannon the Question.

To the Editor OF the Evening star:
Il Sir-In the United States today
there are no great divisional <ques-
tions. Even the protective tarig
in the recent test found strong sus-
porters among Southern Democrats
and opponents among Republicans
of the North.
The questions now before Con-
gress do not warrant a divided
House and tests of strength in place
of united action for the country's
good. If postal banks are good for
Maine and Montana they are equal
ly good for Florida and California.
The same may be said of corpora
ton control, and almost every other
question on the program for the
present session.
The only question agitating Wash
ington and the country at large Is
Mr.. Cannon and his House rules.
There Is no doubt that he put the
legislation Of the short session
~ Sd6h daabCA PiCSoQtCB QtStiiOol-
ing rewards to his supporters and
imposing penalties upon those who,
voting as instructed by their con-
stituents, opposed, and that he tried
to place all those dissenting in the
position of men without a party,
which amounts to political decapi-
tation. 1t is further stated that MI.
Cannon packs the committees with
men of like opinion as his own,
and that by This method bills which
he dislikes are either amended to
his liking or come before Con-
gress.
What Is desired is that in every
question OF national policy the exacs
and uninfiuenced opinion OF the
representatives Of every several
portion Of the country be ascer-
tanned in order to determine the
consensus Of rational opinion. II
Mr.. Cannon sets up his personal
opinion or the opinion Of those he
represents above the national >opin-
ion, Mr.. Cannon is not the man for
speaker Of the House Of Represen-
tatives. =. r. q.

"A WINTRY WINTER
TO 40 ON RECORD

United States there have been severe storms with extraordinary
snowfals, but beyond interruption to travel and excessive cold in
the West, our experiences have been comparatively light. Not
much damage has been done by floods, and the snowfals in the agri-
cultural. sections protect the ground from the wintry blasts and
insure full watercourses and good irrigation in the spring. What
may be in reserve for us is beyond human ken. 1t was as late as
March II that the great blizzard occurred, and in our uncertain
climate it is possible to have a repetition of that phenomenon. 1t
remains to be seen, however, what conclusions the grounding will
adopt when he comes out of his hole to take observations.

Of State assessor and member of the State Board of Equalization
that has been kept up SO long may be expected to cease, and there
will be that much relief from the exaggeration of matters of such
comparative unimportance as a question of membership of a State
board. 1t will be well, also, to dispose of all the appointments
at once, and, therefore, of all gossip and controversy appertaining
thereto. The legislative air will then be cleared and closer atten-
tin can be given to the work of the session.

THE CAUSES
/, ? 81 FOR HIGH PRICES ,,.s

is to invent reasons and ignore the real ones. There is one fact
that escapes these inventive theorists. The movement by the people
to abstain from meat and other high priced articles of food has
already brought down prices. Could there be better evidence that
the high prices were artifcially created by combinations? If
American meat can be exported and sold at a profit in Europe at
cheap prices, are not the much higher prices for the same meat in
American cities sufficient proof of a combination against the Amer
lean consumer? 1t is undeniable that meat, fish and other food
products are controlled by trusts, and that these trusts IRE enabled
by the coldstorage system to gather up and hold in reserve vast
quantities of food for long periods of time. There lies the cause,
and the effect of that cause is high prices. Organized greed doesn't
neglect such opportunities of enrichment. But the pecr..a know
how and by whom the robbery is practised, and if there shall be
no relief save by their own efforts there will be a reckoning to paw.
