It has not forgotten what coal combinations have cost it. It has not forgotten what it suffered under the lee Trust, nor the record of extortion and scandal which that notorious monopoly contributed to the annals of the city, Consumers find the prices of necessities generally quite hard enough to reach even under laws that specifically forbid combinations in restraint of trade, Under present conditions, indeed, the price of milk is still periodically boosted, with the result that at this moment! thousands of New York babies and children are forced to go without the food which of all foods they need, Before there is any talk of allowing milk distributors to combine, let this State exercise its authority to sce that neither the farmers who produce milk nor the millions who buy it are systematically exploited and plundered by companies that handle and distribute it. Since the great emergency of war created a pressing need for| special legislation, Federal and State, the public has seen too many romoters with pet schemes and hobbies push forward and try to tach them, whether surreptitiously or by main force, to legislative measures aneant solely to meet the nation’s war needs, The Food bill which the New York Legislature eventually passes to protect the 10,000,000 people of this State from food gamblers and profiteers in war time must contain no doubtful sections introduced with sly purpose by specia) interests, Least of all must it contain one line which in the sma'lest degree exposes this city to the menace of a Milk Trust. $$$ About Two Weeks’ Talk Ahead.-Headlin No need to ask where, The United States Senc.te is still ushing through” urgent war measures, —_——_+. CAN SUFFRAGE STAND IT? T SEEMS a pity that the cause of Woman Suffrage should be powerless to protect itself from the harm done it in the public mind by the persistent misconduct and bad taste of women pickets at the White House gates. Yesterday a banner carried by oue of these women displayed an inscription addressed to “Kaiser Wilson,” until some one in a crowd that had gathered in indignation at the insult tore it down. Instead of shaming these misguided propagandists, the Presi- dent’s prompt and chivalrous action in pardoning some of their num- ber who laivly got themselves jailed in an eestacy of martyrdom appears only to have stimulated their boldness, It is a disgraceful state of things when high officials and emi sarieg of the Government, coming to confer with the President on the serious business of war, have: to manoeuvre to enter the White House by a back gate in order to clude these importunate, ill-man- nered females. Why doesn’t the saner clement of the Suffrage movement plainly and emphatically repudiate them? Not long ago we heard an intelligent New Yorker, pointing to a printed despatch describing the ill-timed antics of these White House pickets, exclaim: “Last time I voted for their amendment I vote against it.” Can Suffrage afford to let that feeling gain ground? ee ; next time) Sympathy and encouragement, Mr, Root tells us, ts what Russia chiefly needs, Keep up the quality and increase the consignments, Hits From Sharp Wits Tho first frost kills the crop of sea such aMine chan to empty a few shore engagements. — Binghamton | more cans of verbs and adjectives Press.

Thus the foundation has been laid for the real fight in securing proper provisions to protect the public as to war-time prices and to insure such | Government control of all food prod- ucts as will make it impossible for wpeculators to forestall the market. Four such provisions have been ad- vocated by The Evening World id aré to go in the new food bill, They . Strict storage supervision, Terminal markets, Municipal milk depot Power of commissio: to buy and | sell common necessities of life. Sufficient power is to be granted to a food commission to carry out thexe provisions. The Governor has promised to see to It that the persons who serve on this commission shall be those interested in securing proper relief, but in order to get this it 1s up to the Individual to demand from his legislator a vote that will bring the resuit, Legislators, sentatives the people. ‘They are sent to carry out the will of their constituents and they are not invul- nerable, There are many good men in the New York Legislature who are anx- fous to do what they can; who really feel the pain of the poor man and his present depleted pocketbook; who hear the cry of the ohildren againet high priced milk, who realize there are thousands of them actually be- coming more weakened daily by the lack of this most nourishing food. They realize that, with all the present preaching about saving, there are women on the east side and the west side Who could not save another nt to save their souls on account of the high prices of even the com- monest kind of necessities; who also know that the Federal bill will take care of the food proposition in large quantities and in relation to what shall be sent to war countries and what shall remain here Men who also understand that the immediate state problem must be met by State legislation so that the conditions within” the immediate vicinity may be handled with de- spatch and with freedom of action by properly constituted authorities, after all, are repre- the realization of their ambitions.
