President Taft issued a personal state
ment from the White House Sunday
refuting the assertion of Col. Roosevelt
that Mr.. Taft, while a member of the
Roosevelt cabinet, had not only acqui-
esced in the governments delay in pros
ecuting the Harvester trust, but in fact,
was the one who first suggested that
the suit be not pressed at that time
To substantiate his statement the
President quoted from the official rec
ords of tn war department, of which
he was then the head to show that ne
was in the Philippines at the time Mr..
Roosevelt says the cabinet discussed the
harvester suit. He also said that he was
authorized by Senator Root and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson, fellow mem
bers of the Roosevelt cabinet, to say
that they could not recall ever hearing
the suit discussed. Mr.. Taft asserted
that, so far as he was concerned, the
suit was never discussed when he was
present at cabinet meetings.

Why Merchants Should Advertise.

Under the caption why Merchants
Should Advertise" the Windsor Journal
says:
lone of the most effective ways for
local merchants to oppose encroach-
ments of mail order houses is to adver-
tise literally in the home paper. Too
many merchants sleep on their oars
while the catalogue house comes in and
takes a large proportion of their trade
They demur at undertaking anything
like a thorough system of advertising,
contending that the drift to the mail
order house is bound to come, and yet
they make free complaint over the in
roads of the mail order houses into
their particular trade. The fact of the
matter is, the trade belongs rlghtfully
to them and would come to them if
they were progressive enough in in
viting it with good, live advertising"

tual Aid association and the tubercu-
losis committee.
All that is done on these lines goes
back to personal work by men and wom-
en- in the town, and can be aided, not
done, by the money of the trust.
1t will be seen by the above figures
that the current income of the trust has
been exceeded during this year by nearly
$4,000 and that the reserve available
for Brattleboro has consequently been
diminished. The largest item of this ex-
cess has been the tuberculosis work
This work, however, has enabled the peo-
pie Of the town to know exactly what
their problem is and how they can now
hold it in hand if they so resolve. If
this results, as we hope, in stopping the
death toll that has taken so many
young lives during the past few years,
it will be money well spent.

In giving these figures the trustees
desire to say that they shall continue
to measure their success by the de-
crease, not by the increase. Of the
amounts used for direct aid. The more
effective the work that has been done
by means of the cooperation of many
good citizens in making living condi-
tons better, the less will have to be
done to help the victims of unfortunate
conditions.
The trustees have now had expert
ence with many hundreds of cases of
distress, and have found that an over
whelming proportion of them is due to
sickness.
The best thing, of course, is to fore
stall and prevent this sickness, as can
be done by good conditions of work and
living, and likewise by proper opportu-
MES for rest from work and for recre-
alton. The next best is the prompt, eff
ficient and economical care for sickness
made possible by the hospital, the Mu-

ming and will continue to run on a per-
manent basis. 1t is expected that SOME
other new industries will locate here,
but the plans have not progressed far
enough to be made public. With cheap
power that will be available from the
big dam and power plant now being
built in Somerset by men who are de-
veloping water power in various sections
of New England and who began opera
lions in this line by erecting the big
dam south Of Brattlleboro, there will be
a great inducement for manufacturing
concerns to locate here, particularly If
railroad facilities are increased.
In connection with the power develop
ment in Somerset it is asserted by the
power company that it will expend over
81, 100000 in that own, which is more
than 10 times the total assessed valua-
ton of the town. This ought to result
in a material reduction in the tax rate,
which this year is $3.50.

new WHOLESALE
HOUSE FOR FARGO
STONE. CO.. THE
LARGEST WHOLESALE eRccERs
IN THE WEST, 70 OPEN BRANCH
HOUSE IN FARGO THIS SPRING
MEANS DEVELOPMENT.

That Fargo is growing and gaining
recognition as one Of the chief points
of distribution of the northwest is
proven by the fact that the Stone-Or-
dean-We1ls Co. of Duluth, the largest
wholesale house in the west and one
of the largest in the United States, will
open a branch house here this spring.
Plans for the opening of the proposed
new branch house have been in the
process Of formation for some time but
known only to a very few of the bust
ness men in the city who have kept
the matter absolutely under cover fear
ing that something might possibly de-
termine the management of the big
Duluth concern to change their deei-
sion about locating here.
A location has been secured, though
no announcement has yet been made
public regarding this feature, but it is
reported on the streets today in Ger
tain circles that the new house will
probably be opened and ready for bust
ness here by May |. though this is only
conjecture or the part of some and is
unconfirmed.
Every business man in the city will
be rejoiced to hear of this for the COM
ing of the Stone Ordean-Wells Co. to
this city, will mean a great deal for
Fargo and add much to its standing
as a distributing point.
