In Boston it is said that the
farmer gets but six cents a
quart for his milk and that the
other eight cents of the regu-
lar price is to cover distribu-
ton charges. If such are the
facts it is evident that distri-
button charges are out of all
proportion. If milk can be
produced at profit by a dairy
man for six cents a quart it
should reach the consumer at
a much lower price than IA
cents.

SLAVERY is A BIGGER
ISSUE

~ HE chief thing at issue
VI these days is not whether
equal suffrage shall
come through state or federal
action but whether the Huns
shall be allowed to overrun
the world. If through German
preparedness and dissension in
this country and other allied
nations the kaiser is allowed to
triumph then the women OF
America will have something
more serious than the suffrage
question to think about. The
brutal slaughter and enslave-
ment of women and children in
France and Belgium gives a
line on what the world may ex-
pect should the civilized coun-
tries fall under the heel of
Prussianism. With world de-
cency and honor thus imperil-
ed what may people reasonably
think of an organization that
devotes its time to harassing
the president and raising a tur-
moil that hampers our govern
ment to the great pleasure of
the enemy? Yet that is exact
ly what our militant suffra-
gettes are doing. Is it surpris-
ing their work arouses resent
ment?

CAN THEY TURN BACK
THE CLOCK?

~ OSTON has been trying
80 to reduce the cost of
milk to consumers in that
city and to such an end is try
ing a plan of having house
holders go to grocery stores in
person for milk, or to other
supply depots. The retail
price for milk delivered in that
city is IA cents per quart. By
going after their milk each day
householders may save four
cents per quart.
The plan may work in some
instances but is the scheme
economically sound? 1t is get
ting away from the division of
labor which is at the bottom of
our industrial system and back
to primitive ways. If a man
works, as most men do, the
