plain their disreputable work
at Washington. %
The Spokesman-Review cri-
ticiseS the so-called woman's S
party in the harshest terms,
holding among other things
that they retard the progress
of the suffrage cause.
The Portland Oregonian
takes the same view as may be
seen from the following eX-
tract from a Sunday editorial: !:
'The'picqets' are still at
tempting to carry on their mis-
guided campaign. All the sub
tantial encouragement that can
be given woman suffrage may
not be able to counteract their
evil influence"
If the militants want to clear
their skirts let them do so from
ashington-the scene of
their mischief. Let them call
off their pickets, let them apo
logize for the insults offered
the President and indirectly
the people of the country. Let
them repudiate, fairly and
squarely, the reasonable SEN
timents expressed on their ban
ners. When they have done
this they can come to the west
with some show OF grace. I'm
til then they are entitled to
nothing and this holds, no mat
ter how fair their workers may
be or how plausible in explain
ing their questionable work.
Persistence in disloyalty is an
offense that permits of no eX-
planation in war time.

EXPENSIVE DISTRIBUTION

NNNITHIN little more
w than year the farm
price of milk has risen
from 3.4 cents a quart, Sep
tember, 1916, to Go cents, Oc-
tober, 1917. The figure varies
with distance and quality; this
is the base.
The retail price of B milk
in New York City has mean
while risen from 8 to IA cents.
Where the farm price has in
creased 50 cents, for reasons
we'll understood, the distribu-
tors price has increased 5
cents. Though freight rates
have remained the same, the
eXorbitant margin of Sc cents
between the farm wagon and
the area door has become IA
cents. For A milk the farmer
gets 10 cents extra on forty
seven quarts. One city COM
pany takes AZ cents extra on
the same quantity, others 81
cents, their prices being re-
spectively 15 and 16 cents
quart.
For city children, milk is as
much a life necessity as water
is to all. The distribution of
water is nearly everywhere a
public charge because private
enterprise, in field of public
need so imperative proved in
adequate or untrustworthy.
Now we are squarely faced
with the same situation with re-
gard to milk.
Private enterprise, with the
usual methods of high finance
and vain show of competition
has failed in the business of
distributing milk. Has the
time come when the city must
assume the duty of selling milk
without profit?

Denver.-Governor Julius C. Gunter
July 7th issued a proclamation ad-
dressed to the miners in the Leadville
district calling upon them not to
strike, pending adjustments Of their
dispute with the operators in that dis
trict The proclamation points out
that the National Congress IL consid-
ering legislation to reduce the cost OF
food and that similar legislation Will
be taken up by the Colorado Legisla-
ture when it meets in special session
July 18th.
The proclamation was general in its
terms, but it was stated at the gov
ernors office that it had been issued
in response to a request by persons
ers' strike there, and who hoped lit
would help the situation"
Whereas there have occurred in a
number of mining states strikes and
labor disturbances in the mines and
producing metals necessary for use In
manufacture of munitions needed for
government defense, and
Whereas, The state of Colorado has
for a number of years experienced un-
usual peace and prosperity but COM
plant is now made that the cost OF
living has materially increased in
some of the mining districts of the
state and reports have been circulated
of uneasiness among some of the
metal miners by reason thereof, and
Whereas, There is pending before
the United States Congress legislation
the purpose of which is to control the
cost and distribution of the country's
food supply and an extra session OF
the Colorado Legislature has been
called for the purpose, among other
things, to provide for the conserva-
tion and distribution of the food sup
ply and the increase of production,
Now, Therefore. l. julius c. Gun
ter, governor of the state of Colorado
do hereby appeal to the patience and
patriotism of all those employed In
and about the metal mines OF the state
and with the urgent request that they
continue in their present employment
and use every effort to increase pro-
duction until Congress and the Legis-
lature of this state can carry out their
plans for controlling the cost Of liv-
