than any other Republican who
who could be nominated. Presi-
dent Taft might be stronger
man with the party than Senator
LaF'ollette, although there is a
good deal of differing opinion on
that point, but to say that he
could gain more votes than Roos-
evelt approaches the ridiculous.
Roosevelt will not be in the con
test more because he will not
permit himself to be than that
a majority of the party would
not want him. Roosevelt can
get more votes than any man,
Republican or Democrat. Taft
will be the nominee if he lives,
but his nomination will still find
him long way from reelection,
with a mighty hard road to travel
before he can possibly reach
that goal. Most of the Repub-
licans will support him after his
nomination, but whether there
will be enough of them to elect
him can only be told after the
votes are counted.

Too Rich @ To Be Prosperous.

1t is rank heresy in political
economy to question the dictum
that when a country suffers as
this one is auffering from the
high cost of everything entering
into the staining of life, it is
because the people have too much
money, yet it is something diff
cult indeed to make the masses
understand. According to this
theory if the United States, or
, the world, since exchange of
gold is so easy, would throw half
of its gold supply into the ocean.
prices would come down with a
rush. and we should all live with
out SO much worry as to how we
were going to pay the bills from
day to day.
Prof. Irving Fisher, a Yale
professor of economics, has been
repeating this fundamental doc
trine to the lunchers Of the City
Club, and it is safe to say that
fully half of those who heard him
scratched their heads in doubt,
when he said high prices are due
to the fact that we have too much
money in circulation.
Not little of this doubt is
due to the fact that, all over the
country, both the politicians and
business men are declaring that
we must have currency system
by which we could get vast in
tease in currency at short notice
to prevent panics based upon it's
shortage.
Our very wealth and industry
are our undoing, because of the
vast volume of negotiable secur-
tiles based upon it, by which the
amount of credit in banks subject
to check is made so great that it
is far in excess of the actual
circulating currency in volume.
We are ruined by our prosper
ity, and the only way to live
cheaper is not to be so prosper
Gus. AS soon as we become too
poor to pay for things those that
have them to sell will reduce the
price.
We may not be any more able
to buy them than we now are,
but we shall have the satisfaction
of knowing the cost of living has
been reduced.
Now this is all good theoretical
political economy. 1t is strictly
orthodox, just as it is taught in
all the schools. but it is far from
consoling.-St. Louis Star.

Other Peoples Money.
By Louis Brandeis.

The formation of the cooper
ative society by employees of the
New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad system is an event
of great significance. It is a
part of the paramount struggle
for economic liberty and against
financial servitude The power
of wealth and of privilege can be
successfully met by the people
only by utilizing to the full extent
the power of numbers; utilizing
that power not only politically
but industrially.
The control which is exercised
by the high financiers over the
industries, and to a large extent
over the liberties of the Ameri-
can people, is not so much by
reason of the wealth of these
tinanciers as by reason of the
control which they exercise over
he small savings of the people.
The masters of finance become
the masters of the trusts and Of
the people by their use of other
peoples money. Emancipation
can come only through the utiliza-
ton by the people not only Of
their power of production, but
of their own purchasing power.
The position of the Money
Kings is much like that of the
monarch in the kingdoms of old.
We have no place in the American
democracy for the Money King,
not even for the merchant prince.
Industrial democracy must sup
plement political democracy; in
dustrial liberty and political
liberty. Political independence
and industrial dependence can
not long exist in the same indi-
vidual. We are confronted in the
twentieth century, as We We're
lin the nineteenth century, with
|irre concila bic conflict. Our
democracy could not endure half
free and half slave.
The essence of the trust is a
com bination of the capitalist, by
the capitalist, for the capitalist.
The essence of the cooperative
society isassociation of the people
|by the people and for the people.

! That such society can succeed
is abundantly proved by the ex
perience of Great Britain cover
ing nearly half a century.
! T h ere h e cooperative
movement has grown steadily.
The common people have shown
themselves capable of handling
business vast in extent and
varied in character, comprising
production, transportation and
distribution; business involving
in the aggregate hundreds of
millions of dollars, and they have
proved that these businesses
can be conducted successfully in
competition with the capitalistic
enterprises.
They have proven that real CO.
operation, real industrial democ-
racy is a practical success.
What the Scotch and English
have done and are doing, Ameri-
cans can do atleast as well. The
clear sighted and enterprising
employees of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad sys-
tenn in forming their cooperative
society have pointed the way.
The people of America, East and
West, will follow these pioneers.

Dirty Eggs A Great Loss.

| While thereare few egg producers
who take the best care of there pro-
duct, the average person considers
the esgs produced on the farm by
product and makes little provision
| for there care, aside from gathering
them. A large loss is caused by dir
ty eggs, the number being enormous
retary Wilson of the Department of
Agriculture this money loss to the
farmers in the United States amount
ing to about S5.O0O,00 annually.
This loss is very largely brought
about by not gathering the eggs often
enough. In wet weather more dirty
eggs are found than at any other
time. This is caused by the fact
that the ten's feet are often covered
with Hlud or other filth, and going
on the nest to lay she soils the eggs
already in the nest.
| An insufficient number of nests is
often the cause of many of the dirty
eggs found. Eggs are often aid on
the ground and around the hay and
straw stacks, and becoming stained,
are clasSed as "diIties.' Again, when
too many eggs are allowed 20 remain
in anest some are broken and many
of the others become smeared with
broken yolks. This condition is often
| brought about by allowing the broody
| hens to use the same nests with the
| layers. On farm where one nest to
every four hens is provided, and the
| nests are kept clean and we'll bedded
it is found that very few dirty eggs
are produced.
After gathering the eggs, care
! should be -aken not to put them
where they will become heated, or
near OIL, onions, or other vegetables.
as they raedily absorb odors.
Although dirty eggs may be en-
t'rely fresh, they invariably sell as
| seconds, and when but few dirty
eggs are mixed with an otherwise
| fresh, clean lot, they materially de-
crease the price of the clean eggs.
