THE growth Of socialism in this
country is noteworthy incident in
showing the extreme 10 which many
would go in the solution of.the prob
lem which am discussing.
"The 4utility Of every sociallsllc
scheme which destroys the right Of

that It is impossible to find sufi-
GENTLY strong motive for labor or for

more inspiring In the history OF the
world than the story of the achieve

Mr.. Taft pointed out that .he pro.
gressive movement practically began
with the present century. Two de-
.cades of enormous expansion IN all
lines OF endeavor in the United States
previous to 1890, he declared were re-
sponsible for entertainments OF big
business" in the field Of politics, and
lit finally became apparent that these
encroachments must be stopped and
that legislation must be enacted that
would hold in restraint the corporate
and vested interests. 1t was in this
| connection that.le brought in q refer
ence to Col. Roosevelt.

10 HlEyEMENTs OF PRESENT
ADMINISTRATION.

CHICAGO, March l1.-PresiIlent
TAFT gave a new definition Of a
political progressive" in a speech
at the banquet Of the swedish-Ameri'
can Republican League OF Chicago.
He eliminated from consideration as
Zeal progressIyes those who look to
socialism for relief from present day
evils inigoyernment, declared that his
distinguished predecessor" deserved
most; OF the credit for awakening the
public to the need for action and ar
gued that progressive is as progress
9slse d6es,'t pointing to some Of the
I achievements Of his administration as
proof that 1t has qualified under that
definition.
4The term progressive said the
President, .includes all of those who
have been moved to efforts 10 reform
By the necessity for Legislative and
goSenBel. .alaction to deprive corpor-
ate capital aud undue vested privilege
of its p1iifital power and 70 bring
about proper popular and government
tai control and regulation OF the use
Of Sthe capital in legitimate avenues
and for legitimate purposes.
Ell Entitled to Approval
14andsome is that handsome does
said he, quoting the old -maXim. An
administration which has been sue
cessfuliy progressive in deeds is en-
titled to the approval of the appeal.
The present Republican. administra-
ton in what 1t has accomplished in
legislative and executive action is
able to point to many real steps Of
progress, both in the way OF avoiding
unnecessary disturbances OF business,
/, III the way OF regulating the use OF
corporate capital and provilege and
preventing its abuses and in the pres
efyatipn for the public of what be-
longs to 1t, as well as in ameliorating
the legal status Of certain classes of
people, and in increasing> the func-
tons OF the government for the bene-
ftsof the whole people" os
Turning from those he considered
\ Rrogressiyes to those he held too radi'
cal in their, desires for governmental
changes, the President continued:
eThe progressive movement has as
s,imed the character Of q crusade and
many radical remedies were suggest
ed: the carrying out OF which would
only be less destructive. than the
threatened fatal course of the disease.

Greatest Need of American Children. .
DR.. Barnes Is recognized eyerywher"
as one Of the greatest Of the writer's
and lecturers IN America in bis p,pfes.

profound study of all phases Of child

spects supply has remained stationary,
or has actually decreased; and the old
law Of supply and demand Is not 80 OBJ
solete that 1t does not operate in such
a case as that. But the name in
which business Is done, and par
ticularly the manner In which con
sumers are waited on and served by
tradesmen, must count largely in the
problem.
Years ago a house wife went to the
butchers with a basket and carried
her purchase home, wrapped in brown
paper. Now she telephones to the
marketman, or he sends a messenger
to her house to receive her orders, and
the goods are sem to her in a para
fined or a sterilized wrapper and in
an automobile delivery cart. The tele-
phone, the messenger, the wrapper
and the cart and its driver must all
be paid for by the consumer. Soda
crackers in an ornamental lined box
cost more than those sold in bulk from
a barrel. Lard in a sealed tin pail or
butter in an ornate packet must be
more expensive than IL used to be
when scooped from a tub and dropped
into the crock which the housewife
sent or took to the shop for 1t. So With
a hundred other articles. They are
stored, packed, sold and delivered in
much more expensive ways than they
were, and the additional expense
comes out OF the pockets of the con
sumers.
In some respects it is a luxury. In
some it is a convenience. In some 1t
is sanitation. In some it is simple
neatness and cleanliness. But which
ever 1t is, we greatly doubt If the
average consumer, even the one who
grumbles most at the increased cost
OF living, would willingly go back to
the old order OF things, even if by so
doing prices could be put back to the
