SUFFRAGISTS DENOUNCE ACTIONS Owing to misconception as to the attitude of suffragists generally, which has arisen as a direct result of the recent demonstration of the ‘Woman’s party, pickets in front of the White House at Washington, D. C., Mrs. Andreas Usland has issued the following statement of the standing of the National American Woman Suffrage association and the Minne- sota Woman Suffrage association in regard to the matter. The statement was read and approved before a body of state suf- fragists assembled in conference in Minneapolis, June 27, and is sub- scribed to be a majority of the board of the Minnesota organization. i “A conference of the Minnesota Woman Suffrage association, a branch of the National American Woman Suffrage association, of which Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt is president, wishes to give further publicity to the fact that the picketing in Washington is the work of another and different organization and that this demonstratidn has not at any time been indorsed or approved by the state or national suffrage association. “The Woman Suffrage association nationally and by states is pledged to a policy of aid and co-operation in this time of the nation’s stress, and regrets that a body of suffragists should employ a policy tending to embarrass and discredit our government in the present difficult situation. “We believe that the enfranchisement of women should be brought about by orderly and constructive methods and we are united in the en- deavor to bring about, by. such methods, the early political liberation of the women of America.” CURBING THE WASTE ‘Just now the housewives of the country are being deluged with ad- vice and warnings as to waste in the kitchens In nine families-out of every ten the advice is entirely superfluous, from the fact that prices and pocketbooks fail to harmohize. Economy was the first lesson learned by the women when the present era of high prices opened. There is practically no waste in the average American home. The waste and extravagance in this country is in the hotels, restaur- ants, cafes, etc., and in the mansions of the idle rich. Intelligent economy will never be practiced in these places so long as people persist in from six to ten-course meals, of which but a small fraction is actually con- sumed, the residue going either to ‘“‘second hand” regorts or to the swill barrel. No system of food economy can be successful that permits waste of products for no other reason than that the waster has the price. THE EAST ST. LOUIS LESSON It is interesting to speculate as to what would have been the out- come of the East St. Louis affair had it occurred after our troops had been sent to France, or even had they been in camp in the far south. And the thought serves to emphasize the fact that the day is coming, when troops will not be available for every local disturbence that may crop out. Coincident with the formation of an army for foreign service, should be the organization of home guard companies. These should be com- posed of exempts entirely, but should be trained by competent officers, and should be gotten into shape for active duty at as early a date as possible. . The community that Las not such a unit should get busy at once and organize one. You bet, we are perfectly willing to go to war, provided the govern- ment will furnish us a horse and an automobile for our convenience, and a mule or a delinquent subscriber to do the kicking. w Down with the spies—or up with them—or anything to get rid of them. Too much is more than a sufficiency. In time, forsooth, we Will cease to say, ‘‘uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” There will be no crowns to wear. Strange indeed, but true. Since the trencl_les have become the cen- ter of the stage we seldom hear hell or Mexico mentioned. The late arrival of summer inclines one to the suspicion that spec- ulators have cornered the sun. Some day, somewhere, some fellow will invent a pipe that will do its own puffing. And still, “Creel and ‘“squeal” have a rhyming sound.
