sfWets" and Drys", deadlocked in
Illinois for four years over the tegis.
lative issue Of county local option, have
started determination campaigns. The
anti-saIoon league, confident of con.

field, has decided to make great effort
to win majority in the lower house.
The United Societies-for local self.gov.

end the recurring county local option

In preparation for the big fight, the

Liquor Interests Thoroughly S

The liquor interests are frighten-
ed. They are exceedingly active
just now because they fear that the
Anti-Saloon League will win it's
fight for the next legislature at the
election November s. They have
good reason to be frightened, for at
the April primary the League dem
onstrated the effectiveness of its or
ganization campaign. Unless the
liquor interests can recover consid-
cradle ground they lost on the 9th
of April, county option law will be
enacted next winter, and the liquor
interests will be whipped to
FRAGILE" in the state of Illinois.
So we find the United Societies,
as related in the accompanying ar
ticle, preparing for the coming con-
test. They are arranging to send
out monthly political bulletin de-
voted to the advocacy of personal
liberty and giving information about
candidates for Legislative offices.
They say they have membership
of about 10000 in Cook county,
largely bluff, and that this year
they are going to take hand in the
state fight, which means the fight
for governor.
Doubtless they will. We warn
them that they had better get busy at

$4,000 per day. They sell what costs
them this $4,000 for $4,000! That Is
more than 200 per cent for caring for
and delivering what they receive
from the producers. They have never
contended that they were not making
large profit at the old price OF SC
per quart. They could be selling today
at &c and still make large profit on
the transaction. But they saw their
opportunity to squeeze a larger profit
from the poor people OF Detroit and
they did not hesitate to take advan-
tage Of the situation.
Must their victims be compelled to
suffer the outrage and feel there Is no
redress? Can any combination OF
greedy men work such a scheme un-
rebuked and unwhipped OF justice?
Would 1t not be better on the part
OF the consumers to refuse to buy
more than the most pressing neces-
sity demands and so cut of the profits
of the oppressors? They would feel
this and possibly retract. Or let the
grand jury be called, and the methods
OF the combine be investigated. their
whole secret plans brought to the
light OF day. Or let there be in De-

except larger gains for themselves.
We cry out about the high cost OF
living and still place ourselves at the
mercy OF the monopolists. We cry
out about the high price OF butter and
still meekly submit to the excessive
tax upon "oleo" and butterine, that
have become largely the poor mans
butter. Can we not raise a storm OF
protest against these things that will
be heard In quarters where 1t will be
most effective?

The MIX Question In Detroit.

The Milk Question In Detroit.
To the Editor of The Times:
About a month ago the milk dealers
of the city sounded a tentative warn
Ing, that possibly they might be com
PEELED TO raise the price OF milk from
sc to &c per quart. They evidently
did this to feel the public pulse.
There was no very violent protest,
though there was q deep feeling of In.
dienation, and not a little surprise at
the suggestion. Then all was quiet.
and suddenly the dealers announced
that from October the first the In
crease In the price of this indispensa-
BILE food would be raised. II Is to be
noted that there was a combination
OF dealers. Each and all are In the
compact. No one firm would have
dared make SO bold and unjust a
move.
The milk business in Detroit has
reached the stage Of a monopoly OF
the most cruel and oppressive nature.
The rise In price OF one cent a quart
does not seem very much, and for
the wealthy and well-to-do classes
there would be no suffering, and the
advance would scarcely be felt. But
for the POOR and those who have all
they can do to pay rent and make
both ends meet at the close OF each
month. the advance In price Is a real
hardship. At the time the proposed
advance In price was first made pub
lie, the dealers contended that they
were justified In charging more for
milk, because they were compelled to
pay more. That Is always plausible,
but not always just. not always
right. In this case II is the action
Of avarice and heartless greed. Tho
milk has been costing the dealers a
very little more than two cents per
quart delivered In the city. The pro
ducers were justified In raising the
price one-half cent per quart. making
the price to the dealers still less than
three cents per quart. Now the sup
ply of milk for the city costs the deal

ct least six hours elapsed between
the time the wouEtis were received
and the time Of arrival Of medical

According to the opinion Of DIR.
John g. Rroaddus. given out last
evening, Farmer lay where the rob-
bers left him for some time, and
after slight recovery from the shock
made his way alone to the steep stair
room. The first flow OF blood had
checked when he went up the stairs,
upon which no traces Of blood were
found. The exertion caused blood to
flow again by the time the bed was
reached, which accounts for the sim
gular fact that there were no traces
of blood between the place Of as
sault and the bed upon which the
victim was found.
