WOMEN in THE HOME,

GNChy HouScWAc III augusta VIII be
interested in the propositions en-
bodied if not converted by the logic of
a circular put out by the Woman Suf-
frage association. It is entitled "Wo-
men in the Home" and reads:
We are forever being told that the
place for women is in the home.
Well so be it. But what do we ex-
pect of her in the home? Merely to
stay in the home is not enough. She
is a failure unless she attends to the
health and welfare, moral as well as
physical. Of her family, and especially
of her children. She more than any
one else, is held responsible for what
they become.
She is responsible for the cleanliness
of her house.
She is responsible for the whole
someness of the food.
She is responsible for the children's
health.
She. above all, is responsible for
their morals.
| How far can the mother control
T; these things?
! if the neighbors are allowed to live in
being filled with bad air and smells, or
from being infested With vermin.
She can cook her food well, but
if dealers are permitted to sell poor
food, unclean milk or stale eggs, she
cannot make the food wholesome for
her children.
She can care for her own plumbing
and refuse, but if the plumbing in the
rest of the house is unsanitary, if
garbage accumulates and the halls and
stairs are left dirty, she cannot pro-
tect her children from the sickness and
infection resulting.
She can take every care to avoid
fire, but if the house has been badly
built, if the free escapes are made
auate, she cannot guard her children
from the horrors of being manned or
killed by fire.
She can open her windows to give
her children the air that we are told is
SO necessary, but If the air is laden
with infection, with tuberculosis and
other contagious diseases, she cannot
protect her children from this danger.
She can send her children out for air
and exercise, but if the conditions that
surround them on the streets are i'm
moral and degrading, she cannot pro-
tect them from these dangers.
| Alone. she cannot make these things
right. Who or what can?
The city can do 1.-THE city govern
ment that is elected by the people to
take care of the interests of the peo-
pie.
And who decides what the city gov
eminent shall do?
First. the officials of that govern
ment, and, second, those who elect
| them.
Do the women elct them? No, the
! men do. So it is the men and not the
women who are really responsible for
| the
Unclean houses,
| Unwholesome food,
Risk of tuberculosis and other dis
eases,
Immoral influences of the street,
| Bad plumbing.
| Danger of fire.
! In fact, men are responsible for the
| conditions under which the children
i live. but we hold women responsible
! for the results of those conditions.
If we hold women responsible for the
results, must we not, in simple justice,
let them have something to say as to
what these conditions shall be? There
is one simple way of doing this. Give
! them the same means that men have.
Let them vote.
Women are, by nature and training.
housekeepers. Let them have a hand
/ in the citys housekeeping, even if they
introduce an occasional hOuse-clean-

COST UNDER THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT.

" The statement published in the Press last night
that it has the irrigation district during the last SIX
months about $183 foot to bring water to the
valley proved most persons. 1t cost the re-
cever about As cents and this indicated that it has cost
the district four times much.
There are some persons who claim that we did not
make allowance for permanent benefits of the last halt
year We did make some allowance, and if we did not
make sufficient it is because the secret policy OF the mis-
managers of the district makes it difficult to learn the
extent of the permanent benefits
By diligent work we have succeeded in getting some
ures from the archives of the district, and we
can that in six months has received $780, 000 of which
1900 paid old notes, leaving the other eX
pendtures for the haf year S762 800
The district has floating Indebtedness of S488O0O OF
which than 100000 has been accumulated in this
half year and place the expenditures and acquired
debts of the half year at S1175,O0O.
We cOncede do not know how much to deduct fol
permanent benefits, but concedng everything that can
possibly be claimed the total will exceed S27500O
which wad leave the operating at 100000 for the
half year. S150 an acre foot for the 100000 feet
of water delivered This is than three times
the cost to the receiver who made profit at 30 cents.
In view of the expense thus shown, not sur
sed yesterday to learn that all dredges have been aC
up for lack Of money to operate them. But with the
dredges idle what expect from years water
supply? Is it not necessity that change Of manage
ment be obtained at the earliest possible date?

THE COTTON SITUATION.

L There is a great shortage in available cotton
throughout the world and the British government has
undertaken to prevent the Liverpool market from re-
pondng to this shortage by paying the price demanded
by the law of supply and demand That fact probably
largely responsible for the drop in price of the last
few days
But as the high price is admittedly due to world
shortage seems very doubtful if the British govern
ment has the power to hold the price down.
Liverpool is the of the worlds cotton market
and seems probable that the attitude OF Britain
will tend to annu the supremacy of Liverpool.
Of course, the British isles thsRselves consume but
comparatively small quantity of cotton 1t is as the
worlds chief factory that Great Britain holds hee
mastery and to refuse buy raw cotton is to ald
American manufacturers to gain the world market and
we do not believe manufacturers will be slow to grasp
this fact
The United States government now has SoOOOOO,UOI
in actual gold record nation approached There
world of capital in this country and the time is pro-
tous for an industrial advance all along the line OF pro
auction alike Of and manufactured goods we 90
look for penanency il the slight depression IN cot

the visible passing to other hands If they do not
obey the law Of supply and demand and their govern
will be forced tease its efforts to apply Its arbl-
trary decree.
