man presided and In q stirring
speech commended The Evening
world in its fight against oppressive
prices OF tho necessaries OF life and
its inslstent campaign against food
spectators, who are raising prices
without reason except to enrich
themselves.
This newspaper has oonsis-
tsntly urged proper legislation 70
meet the alarming situation Of
the food necessities, and urged
that drastic measures be taken
against artificial price boosters"
said Mr.. Psrlnnan.
I'm the very last days OF the Lesis-
lature a food bill was presented, most
OF the provisions OF which were
drawn by the Housewives Protective
Association, and the members OF the
Legislature were ready and willing
to ta.,e up such q proposition and
perfect It. But at the last minute II
was made too drastic for passage by
opposing forces and there was not
time to pass II.
with the contemplated campaign
The evening world., 1917-06-08

Of this growing organization OF de-
I, uinsd women It is contemplated
TO arouse public opinion to demand
that something be done. and there 10
no question lat what 1t will result
In a special session OF the Legis-
lature."
C..us Miller, whose work on the
subject Of terminal markets In well
known, and who is also a member OF
the Mayors Food Committee, also
strongly indorsed the work Of the
Housewives Protective Association
and will speak at several OF the
meetings schsdul in the campaign.
MIR. Miner at some of these forums
will tell OF the great possibilities OF
ing OF vegetables and fruits In her
own home in a simple way for future
consumption.
"This summer fruits and Veae-
tables will be plentiful" pre-.
dioted Mr.. Miller. "ln fact, II
bids fair to be . banner year. No
family needs TO suffer for want OF
fresh foods, and they will be
cheap IN price, doubtless cheaper
than other years.
Therefore the bia thing will
bs to teach the housewife TO con-
serve these foodstufs for winter
use when products will be less
abundant. This can be done IN
every homo In the City OF Now
York when the knowledge OF how
20 do u 10 properly spread.
IL know OF no better way than In
this prospective plan OF these meet
lngs OF the women OF the home In
school houses, halls and other publlc
places all over the city where they
can be taught and advised In the var
ious economies. II Is astonishing how
little the housewife OF the big city
understands how to properly prepare
food for future consumption as com
pared with the woman OF the small
town."
Mrs. Meyer Frankel, n member OF
the Cooperative Committee OF the
II. +. A., urged the women TO attend
the meetings and combine energies in
fighting for proper legislation 70 over
come the growth OF speculators In war
time.
The big problem will be to elm
| mate waste I'm the home" said Mrs.
Frankel. "while We do not need TO
underfeed ourselves, and there will he
plenty for all in the next year to como,
the important thing will be to learn
how to utilize simple. inexpensive. yet
highly nutritious foods, 80 that moth -
ing is wnsted. Every little saved
makes just that much less burden
later on"
heartily indorsed the words OF the
previous speakers and strongly urged
the women present to join the. forces
OF the ii. +. A. explained that one
woman or a few women could make
little impression on Legislators and
food speculators, but 100000 women
handed together with n purposeful and
constructive programme both for
legislation and household economies
could certainly make themselves felt
and attain real results.

Mcf,aurin Still Not Decided,

John L. McLaurin, who accepted the
nomination Of the state warchouscmen
for the governorship recently, has
written another letter to Sen. Banks
in which he makes the following state
ment: 81 am satisfied that it will be
best for the cause in which we are so
deeply interested, that should not be-
come a candidate for Office either now
or hereafter 1t was a wise step to
get ticket in the field so as to give
us definite rallying point. Now you
can get a man in my place and per-
nit me to CARCASS the State durlng the
summer for the ticket SO as to perfect
a organization. These questions must
be presented and made the paramount
issue and If l do so as a candidate for
governor it VIII greatly hamper nc,
because my motives will be questioned.
dedicated myself years a&o to this
work and need no reward to inspire
my efforts. The people have been
humbugged so much since 1890 by
those whose only object has been to
secure office, that they are Justly eus-
picious OF candidates. There is q
good size crop now of self-sceking
dcmagogues trying to exploit both la
borcr and farmer to promote their
personal fortunes and political ambi-
tions. This discounts the efforts Of
the man who is sincerely advocating a
cause.
