ROOSEVELT HAD
STRENUOUS DAY
Spokane Progressives Entertain
Head of Party in Style Greatly
to His Liking
COLONEL TELLS AUDIENCE
WHY HE IS FOR SUFFRAGE
He Also Pays Respect to Wood
row Wilson and to the Non
Progressiveness of the Demo-
cratic Party

SPOKANE, Sept. 9.--As Colonel
Roosevelt left here tonight on the last
leg OF his westward journey, looked
back at the city and remarked "Well,
by George, Spokane has given me
what might call a middling lively
day."
The colonel was permitted eight
hours sleep here after he reached
Spokane last night and that was all
he had to himself. He made four
speeches, attended breakfast, a
luncheon and dinner, talked politics
with progressive leaders and headed a
parade through the city.
Colonel on Woman Suffrage
In his speeches Roosevelt gave his
views of woman suffrage saying that
he had endorsed the move because he
found that it was the opinion of well
informed women that suffrage would
tend to improve the lot of working
women. In his speech to women he
declared that women must exercise
in Washington the right of suffrage.
1t was a duty. he said, not privilege.
Reply to Woodrow Wilson
In one address he replied to Wood
row Wilson's criticism of the pro-
gressive proposal for minimum wage
scale. He declared that Wilson was
undoubtedly conscientious in his opin-
ions, but that they were based on
views of economists expressed several
years ago. He justified the minimum
scale on the ground that conditions
have change radically in recent years.
The colonel assailed the position of
the democratic party. He said 1t is
not progressive, but 1t is a peculiar
type of toryism." He also discussed
tariff, courts, high cost of living and
farmers, of the republican party he
said little, on the ground that he
never discussed dead folks

HOW COOPERATIVE ORGANIZATION

the lines you advocating" asks rancher in let
ter to The Herald 81 have heard lot about the bene
fits of cooperative organization but what want to
know is what financial good it will do personally if
join with the other growers movement of this kind
The best reply to such query is to point to the
perience of fruit rasers who have worked under the hit
or miss Individual plan of marketing their product and
have also worked under the plan of cooperative organ
zaton After several years of the latter system the
Tuare County Exchange, member of the big California
Fruit Growers Exchange reports the advantages to the
growers of handling their business under exchange

COOPERATION THE
ONLY CURE

(From The Saturday Evening
Post, September Z, 1929
Assurance of a steady de-
mand at fair price would
foster the production of any
staple dietary article up to
the point of meeting the de-
mand. The demand is there
consumers always want the
articles; but nobody is In a
position to give the assur-
ance.
THE grower must take the
risk of a bad connection at
every one of the joints and
angles between himself ana
the consumer. He must take
the risk that some other
grower will arrive at the
same point with the same
goods at the same moment
he does.
For all this risk the con-
sumner pays--or 1t falls on
both consumer and producer.
"'For this misalignment be-
tween producer and consum-
er cooperation is the only
cure"

The "Kilties" Band, Opera House Wed
The Giant Drum Majer'S Wives.

An amusing story is told on the
members of the "Kilties" band in
Guiding the giant drum major Donald
Mccormack, who is seven feet two
inches tall and who marches at the
head of the parade the "Kilties' make
in each town they visit.
While on tour of the world the band
played an engagement al Suva, the
capital city of the Fiji Stands, where
the natives twenty years ago were
cannibals and who had never seen a
Scotchman in Highland costume be-
fore the arrival of the "Kilties." Dur
ing the parade, file after file of ma
tive women, arm in arm skipped along
behind the band, yelling "Binola, BIZ
nola!" which is the native word for
Good, Good" and the cry was TAX
en- up by the very much amused male
half of the population, who were
standing in solid files along the prin-
cipal streets as interested spectators
of the scene.
After the parade and upon return
ing to the hotel some of the boys
were met by the jubilant proprietor
and his friends with roars of laugh
