MRS. PANKHURsTS FAILURE

MRS. PANkHUkSIS FAILURE
. HE WISH may be father to the
thought, but the English press
= agrees substantially that the
backbone of the militant suffragette
movement in hat country is broken.
The militant are believed to be re-
duced to a band of less than seven
thousand. All of them are under the
shadow of the ingenious scat and
mouse" law.
Under this law prisoner who goes
on hunger strike may be released
temporarily only to be reimprisoned
when restored to health. Mrs. Pank-
hurst, recently sentenced to the three
years at hard labor, was released af-
ter she was weakened by her hunger
strike, and rearrested as soon as she
showed herself out of doors. Under
the severe operation of the law Mrs.
Pankhurst is said to be reduced to a
state of permanent i'll health. This
does not mean that the law is cruel.
1t does not prescribe hunger strikes.
They are voluntary, but part of the
militant program.
The Pankhurst campaign for the
franchise has exhibited paradox. 1t
has assumed that physical force is no
longer the bsis of citizenship that
the authority of government is now
derived from intellectual and moral
forces, in whose development women
are qualified to take part. While hold
ing this belief, the militants have en-
deavored by acts of violence, the des-
truction of property and assaults upon
individuals, to coerce the present vot-
ers to take them inc the electoral fold
The failure of the movement might
have been predicted from the stub
borness of the English race.-Tribune

LEADING HORSES TO WATER
<<X you can lead horse to water

ttX you can lead horse to water
but you can't make him
drink"
Can't you? We are all curious to
know, and pretty soon we shall see
A number of decidedly unthirsty
horses are being led to water, and
what will come of it is not only in
teresting, but of great public impor-
lance.
Governor Sulzer of New York is
attempting to lead the New York leg
islature to a copious draft from the
direct primay spring, and the pros
poets for his success in forcing the
legislative horse to swallow an un-
welcome drink are none too good. The
horse is exceedingly averse to that
kind of water, and it is rearing anC
baking with great vigor.
President Wilson is trying to leaC
the congressional horse to drink out
of the fountain of currency reform
The horse, having taken deep drink
out of the well of tariff reform, is
strongly inclined to postpone the cur
rency draft until winter. The presi-
dent has shown himself to be a pretty
effective manager of horses, and the
betting is on him.
And then there's Governor Eber-
hart of Minnesota, who is soon to
lead the Minnesota legislative horse
by the extra session road up to the
public utility tank, and who hopes il
will take big drink there. But the

a dozen for eggs during the next two
weeks, and that we ask the co-opera-
ton of all women seriously interested
in reducing the cost of living"
Committees were named to carry
the fight into the various women's
organizations that are now playing
such a prominent part in the life of
Chicago.
Last year when the price of eggs
went up" said Mrs. Bley, Eve held
an egg sale. This year we cannot do
it because the wholesaler is at fault,
and not the retailer. The wholesalers
offered us eggs at 80 cents a dozen
this year if we bought the eggs in
carloads. Last year we were able to
get the eggs from the wholesalers at
20 cents dozen"
While the women were taking up
the question of the cost of eggs the
Chicago Market Commission, APP

met in the City Hall and discussed
plans of reduction

of living has always been over
Swallowed by his old reputation, to
hand out the real hot shots of the
meeting.
OLeary has been running a public
market out on the South Side lately
and has picked up some valuable
ideas. Also he has learned that any
dealer who tries to reduce the cost
of foodstuffs is forced to fight against
an organized opposition.
Thanksgiving turkeys should not
cost over 20 cents a pound" said
O'Leary. But they are selling all
over the city at % cents a pound for
gobblers and old turkeys and 20
cents a pound for the tender spring
birds. There is no reason in the
world why these same turkeys, if

strated that green produce and the
regular truck farm goods can be
bought at from 20 to so per cent
lower than the regular retail grocery
rate. The one market out there has
proven a boon to thousands of the
poor families from the district back
of the stockyards and this one ex-
ample should be a spur to this COM
mission to start markets all over the
city.
You'll find the greatest opposition
from the Retailers Association, who
tried to put me out of business and
even threatened to blacklist any one
who patronized my market"
The commission is trying to prove
that the city council should pass an
ordinance establishing three munich
pal markets. Sol Westerfeld, repre-
senting the Retail Grocers' Associa-
ton, announced that his organiza-
ton would "have something to say
before the ordinance went through.
He tried to inferentially warn the
commission that business interests
would fight the establishment of
municipal markets. ..-..
Fred A. Curtis said that city con-
sumers paid $40 ton for garden
truck grown in Cook county and the
producers were paid only "a a ton.
He produced data to prove this.
Mrs. C. Franklin Leavitt pointed
to the success of the Los Angeles
public market which had 80 per cent
reduction in the price of foodstuffs.
