Bismarck Tribune: President IaftS
economy messages" are the thinnest
political Cruel ever emanating from
the White House, and we are willing
to admit that there has been some
mighty thin stuff manufactured there
for vote catching. After selling his
birhtright for mess Of pottage to the
big business Of the country, he at
tempts now to come in and fool the
people by recommending the saving
of $11,0G0,00O in the departme ex-
penses at Washington. This genera
ton of Americans is not demanding
any such parsimonious saving as Taft
ocntemplates, but economy in the big
ger and better sense of that term, the
fullest service for the expenditure and
more equal, distribution of the bur-
dens of government. As the govern
ment is compelled to interfere more
and more for the protection of the in
dividual against organized greed, the
body will complain If everybody bears
the burden according to his ability.
LaMoure Echo: AS will be noted
by referring to the head of the editor
iol columns of the Echo, the name +
J. A. Buchanan has been hoisted as a
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for governor, and eco. M. Young
of Valley City, as a .candirate for con
gress from the Second dinstrict. In
choosing to support these two men for
the nomination, the Echo man has en-
deavored to make a study of the stu
alton as carefully as possible, and de-
cided that they more nearly represent
the people of the state and will do
more in case of their election than
any of their opponents. They are
both recognized as staunch men of
Progressive ideas, have taken ad-'
vanced and open position positions on
the side of the common people. Mr.
Buchanan is a successful business
man, having devoted his energies
along lines. He knows and feels the
needs of the farmers of the state, and
if elected governor will certainly serve
the state well and irhoartilly, looking
for advancement along all lines. If
elected to congress, eco. NJ. Young
will make a live and aggressive repre-
sentative, and will be found fighting
in the ranks of Progressives, fitting
for Progressive ideas. He is a sue
cessful man, alert and pushing, just
the sort Of a fellow who North Dakota
needs in the halls of Congress to as
sist Congressman Helgeson. a.

Books o. Child Study.

The Education committee of the
Woman's club has been carrying on
a most practical work through
mothers meetings for the study of
conditions relating to the home.
Meetings have been held regularly
at the club house in charge of Mrs.
Louisa Pott- chairman of the Edu-
cation committee, and here mothers
and housekeepers have held inter-
change of ideas which has proved in
teresting and helpful. A book COM
mittee has had charge of books CIV
en- or loaned and these have circu-
lated among members of the class.
AS an outcome of all this it has
been arranged through the courtesy
of the Athenaeum to have these
books and others relating to child
study and home economics placed on
table at the Athenaeum where
they will be handy for reference to
all interested.
The mothers class has also added

hoped that a permanent. class or or
ganization may result in the near
future.

after a long illness. Mr.. Plummer
is remembered here as a clerk in E.

was born in Tilton, N. H, March 9,

them to study such subjects as sales

ings of real value to them. He adj
vised them to be careful not to be-
come a union and said in closing
that if the merchants were to vote

Closing Thursday nights they would
vote to close.
A. H. Gleason was the next speak
or called on by the POSTMASTER and
gave a strong plea for 'organiza-
tion," saying that he was a great be-
lever in its strength. He believed
that there is as much good for the
employer as for the employe in such
clubs as this and that it works for
the social upbuilding of all There
is benefit in rubbing shoulders
with ones fellowman and this a
clerk gets in his club. Mr.. Gleason
also spoke of the custom of sending
away to buy goods and said he was
sure from his experience elsewhere
that one cany buy as good an article
for the money here as elsewhere.
A vocal solo by Miss Katherine
Morrison was so much enjoyed that
she responded to the enthusiastic
encore given her.
L. N. Smythe gave talk which
was partly reminiscent and based on
his experience in trade during the
last 40 years. He spoke as one hav-
ing authority and his talk showed
the difficulties of transacting bust
ness today in comparison with the
/ ciT MI of hndC IxyhnT1 hn hn0on &C
an illustration he stated that where
as he then had to carry only two
grades and two styles of woven un-
derwear for women there are now
over so styles and almost as many
prices. He compared the great de-
partment store where everything is
managed automatically with the
smaller store in a place of this size;
saying that greater intelligence is
necessary here than where only one
article is sold. Business of today
is very complicated but will become
more so.
The toast master paid tribute of
appreciation to the faithfulness of
the clubs secretary, Mrs. Grace
Matthews, who has gone to Brook
Ign and moved that the club send
her words to that effect.
Fred J. Babcock was the last
speaker and said some practical
things He suggested as a motto for
the club one which had been used
by a similar club near Boston, eff
you can't pull, push; if you can't
push, get out of the road" Four
points which every clerk must think
of in making a sale were suggested
as subjects to be considered: atten-
ton of the customer; arousing his
interest; creating in him a desire for
the goods and finally concentrating
the SALE He also urged the club
to work hard to become stronger in
numbers and in power.
