The Sheep and the Goats.

The Bulletin issued at Topeka Kan

Methodist Episcopal church. says.
The Sentinel, of Waterville. Maine,
takes the Temperance Society of the
Methodist Church to task for quoting a
statement by Senator Burleigh of that
state TO the effect that the question of
prohibition groups the good and sue
cessful men on one side and the
weaklings, etc, on the other.
Mr.. Burleigh's sentiments are his
own. Strangely enough, however, they
coincide, broadly speaking, with the
sentiment of very nearly everyone else
The railroads find booze and ineficien-
cy on the same side of the line: the
reliable men and total abstinence on
the other side Of the line. The NAVY
Department finds accidents and scan
dal and that mild responsibility
which results in disaster grouped on
the left with John Barleycorn; on
the right side OF the line they find the
wonderful gunnery, the supreme readi-
ness, which has been developed since
the enlisted man has been denied his
grog. The philanthropist finds power
ty and insanity and disease on the side
of the line with the regulated saloon:
opposite is found practically every well
fare organization. When there is a
prohibition election in a community al
most invariably the churches the
school superintendents, and similar
leaders are found lined up for pro-
hibitson on the other side Of the line
inevitably one finds the worst elements
Of the community.

Why Meats Are HIGH.
ALBANY n. Y JournaD

albany, N Y, Journal)
Why do not the suffragettes attack the
hard hearted male legislators in their
vulnerable spot-the stomach-and use
their organization for the purpose of
nagging and annoying the meat trust till
il sells meat more cheaply? That would
be some interesting crusade and would
do more good than the housewives boy
colt which is being organized out in
Chicago.
There is still something suspicious and
mysterious about the way the price of
meat is maintained at a high level.
Sometime since it was alleged in defense
of high prices that the price of grain
was high and it cost much to fatten the
cattle for market, Now the bumper
crops have knocked that argument. yet
the meat monopoly insists that the price
of meats must go higher
For a time there was a glad cry from
the consumers when Argentine beef was
put on the market at lower price than
American beef. But what is the cry
now? The Argentine beef was not so
good and was not much cheaper-just
enough to sell it. That was bad enough,
bat II mas been discovered tnat OF the
nine abattoirs in Argentina the American
meat trust controls no less than FIVE On
the authority of the United States agri-
cultural department it is asserted that
the trust owns 30 per cent. of all the
Argentine beef which reaches this mar
ket.
The managers of the meat trust have
been ferehanded and wise in their wick
edness, ands have secured control, If not
ownership of the visible supply of meat
They buy at their own prices and sell
at the inflated profit over it, holding
meats in cold storage till they desire to
sell it. They own the cattle of the
Texas plains: they own the cold storage
warehouses and the refrigerator cars 1t is
transported in, as we'll as ships which
carry it over the ocean.
That is why the cost OF meat will go
higher If the trust wills it. There seems
but one method of attack left. Refuse
toeat meat and sic the suffragists on the
meat barons.

Then.

Sixty-six years ago today the
worlds first Woman Rights Con-
vention was held. The scene was
the Methodist church at Seneca
Falls, n. Y, and the prime NOV
ers were Elizabeth Cady Stanton
and Lucretia Mott. The little
country church was crowded to
the doors during the two days of
the convention. Some of the coun-
try's most notable men were pres
emf and cheered when the "Declar-
alton of "Woman's Rights" drawn
up along the lines of the Declara-
ton of Independence of the Amer
lean colonies. was promulgated The
document set forth the condition
of women at that time. The fem
mine speakers pointed out that
colleges and high schools are clos
ed to women; man monopolizes the
remunerative employments; women
are not permitted TO speak in pub
lie; married women cannot hold
property, are not entitled to their
own earnings, cannot conduct a
business in their names, cannot
make a contract or will. or bring
suits in court; nor are they consid-
cred as competent guardians of
their own children, and nowhere in
the civilized world is woman per-
mltted to have her say in govern
ment." The revolt amazed the
