BY President TAFT In HIS

Socialism Is the Real Issue in American

President Taft, in his speech on the
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary
of the founding of the republican party
here today said that the country must

to be trusted with solving the problem.

Socialist Argument.

"On the other hand, it is contended
that it is not the institution of private
property that should be abolished, but
only that the time has come in which
it is necessary to lay down certain
rules restricting and regulating the use
of that private properly which shall
not deprive the world of individual eff
fort, but which shall still keep the
law and the opportunity to use private
property under such control that these
abuses may be wiped out and the boon
of individual effort be left
This declaration followed a eulo-
CYSTIC review of the history of the re-
publican party, in which the president
said the great problems of the United
States had been handled safely by the
republican party.

new MODEL REQ
IS VERY POPULAR

Already visitors from all over the
state are arriving in Fargo for the con-
ventions TO be held this week an in
cidentaIly those from out of town are
taking advantage of this opportunity of
examining the new models of motor
cars which are being chown by the
Fargo dealers.
One of the most attractive and pop
ular cars shown, judging from the
number Of visitors at the salesrooms.
is the new REQ four cylinder mode,
handled in Fargo and vicinity by the
Fargo Auto & Supply company.
The realm of the moderate priced
car nowadays, more than ever before
is widespread in the attractions which
1t offers the buyer. For $1,000 a would
be owner of q car can now have nearly
all of the features which, until recently
were supposed to be found only in the
higher priced machines.
The REQ insures comfortable tray
cling over the toughest roads. The
new four cylinder model has the APP
pearance of high priced car.
Every last thing In the construction
OF this model has been attended to-

stery, the fit, balance and serviceable-
ness of the glass front and windshield
are perfect
Another feature which Is making an
impression on the many visitors who
have examined and ridden in this car,
and that Is that the by ~ AZ motor
furnishes q horsepower and q half for
every 100 pounds Of weight. This means
more than enough power for hills and
the heaviest road conditions.

that there will be as little publicity
as possible in the work. One thing
which in the past has prevented these
women from taking a more active part
in such work has been the notoriety
given them. Under our plan this will
be avoided, as far as possible.
Just think of the enormous power
for good which can be accomplished by
such an organization as is contem-
plated. Why, the combined power Of
these women through the wealth they
actually control and the influences
through which they can control at least
as much more, will make any demand
they make for the correction of
abuses and the initiation of reforms
more potent than legislative enact
ment.
Neglected by Legislators.
Legislators have been slow to cor
rect many errors under which many

RICH women
TO AID OF SEX
ORGANIZATION UNDER WAY REP
REsENTs CONTROL OF OVER
BILLION DOLLARS.

New York, Jan. 1S.-It became
known today that plans are in opera
tion looking toward the union of the
every rich woman of the nited States
controlling more than billion, into an
organization having for its object the
Improvement of the conditions under
which the women of the country, par
ticularIy young girls, are compelled to
work.
Mrs. George Brandt Of Philadelphia
and New York, who Is not only well
known in the high society circles of
the two cities, but has been engaged
actively in a number of humanitarian
projects having for their object par
ticularly the uplift of women, is the
moving spirit in the new movement.
Mrs. Brandt became known several
years ago by her work in the great
anti-polyganny movement, which re-
suited in the presentation Of the larg-
esr petition ever presented to congress
against the selecting of Mormon in
that body. Among others who have
been, or are invited, to join this new
organization are: Mrs. e. III. Harri-
man, Mrs Russell Sage, Miss Helen
Green. Mrs. Potter Palmer, Mrs. ]. S.
Kennedy, Mrs. Andrew Carnegie. Miss
Florence M. Ansinck, Mrs. o. FL. p.
Belmont Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, Mrs.
Clarence Mackay. Mrs. j. Borden Har-
riman and hundred or more women
of similar character.
Reforms That Are Sought.
The objects or the new organization
so far outlined are:
To abolish the evils in sweat shops.
To do away with child labor
TO afford better protection for young
girls, especially In the tenement dis
tricts.
To bring about better working con-
ditions for women who are compelled
to earn their living.
And generally, to take an active part
in all work looking to the uplift Of the
women.
Ii is proposed further that when
feasible, this organization OF wealthy
women shall act ais Intermediates be-
tween capital and labor, to apply when
women workers are involved.
Mrs. Brandt said today
viii Avoid Notoriety.
There Ii every reason to believe
that the organization of the very
wealthy women of the country for the
help of their less fortunate fellows will
be successful All the women with
whom / have talked over the plans
have expressed great interest. AL
meeting will soon be held and an or
ganization effected. I may say here

Washington, Jan. 1S.-In expressing
his deep interest in the subject Of tn,
increased and ever increasing cost o.
living, President Taft was speaking
from personal as well as from ana.
| tional viewpoint. His own pocket II
affected just as are the pockets of the
SO,00O,000 and more citizens. Day by
| day, on the White House table, he haC
before him object lessons that speak
more eloquently than words or thar
| tables of statistics. His bills from the
butcher, the baker and candle stick
maker furnish all the written evidence
necessary.
The Taft family is not extravagant
Its members live well, but plainly
Neither do they do much entertaining
Nevertheless even living economically
the expenditures of thetabIe of pres
ident are considerable. so the question
Of constant increase in food prices
is very live one for Mr.. Taft.
Paying Big Increase.
In purchasing edibles for the White
House table Mrs. Jeffrys, the house
keeper, to whom this duty is assigned,
has only one instruction.: BUY the
best"
Being shrewd purchaser she does
what other clever housekeepers do
buys the best at the lowest price. She
distributes her trade among several
merchants, getting this or that article
where it can be bought to advantage.
In President RooseveIt's time Pinck-
ney, the colored functionary, who did
most of the buying dealt with one
man, the same who had supplied Mrs.
Roosevelt when her husband was a
civil service commissioners Nevertne-
less, even with this advantage, Presi-
dent Taft finds that he is paying an
increase over the prices which OBJ
tanned during the earlier tdays of the
Roosevelt regime and the latter days
of President McKinley's administration
of from 25 per cent upward to 800 per
cent.
Some Prices Taft Pays.
To take specific instances for the
eggs which he eats for breakfast Mr..
Taft has to pay OF least As cents a
dozen, sometimes more, where less than
ten years ago his predecessors could
obtain them for 28 cents. For the bacon
WHICH sometimes accompanies the eggs
he is paying 2 cents a pound, against
the is cents of McKinleys time. Or
if he should have a slice or two of
ham it has cost him at the
rate Of 80 cents a pound, while Presi-
dent Roosevelt once enjoyed thes anne
dish at is cents yound. The cream
cry butter on the table costs him As
cents a pound, as against 35 cents, and
any fruit he may have is assuredly
costing anywhere from Is to so per
cent more than it cost his predeces-
sors
AT lunch and dinner the same story
is told.
AT his lunch he may have a steak
Practically everything elese that is on
the table will represent furthtr evil
dence of the increase In thee ost of
living. The wines, cheese and liquors
are much higher in price than a few
years ago, and even the flowers that
decorate the festive board cost consid-
erably more. So it may be assumed
that President Taft certainly meant it
when he said he had deep interest
In the subject.
