a capital of $2,OOO,OO0. These
stores count about 10000 families
as cooperative patrons and the pro-
fits divided last year as dividends
amounted to more than half a mil
lion dollars, or a rebate of about 8
per cent. to stockhoIding customers.
AS rule the cooperative stores
of the northwest sell only for cash
and at the generally prevailing
prices. Rarely can any article be
bought in cooperative store cheap
er than in homeopathic store
across the street. Selling for cash,
they pay for the dairy and poultry
products and general produce the
farmers have TO sell. In a limited
way, credit is extended through q
note arrangement. The credit Gus
toner gives the store his note which
is discounted in a form of "alumi-
mum" money good only at the same
store. By this method the credit
customer is transformed into a cash
customer at the expense to himself
of only the interest on his note. AS
the note is always we'll secured, the
store makes no losses through cred
it accounts.
In Wisconsin the cooperative
merchandising plan is held as a
necessity Of political progress. 1t
has been recognized by state laws
and even favored to a eonsi .eraole
extent. The average Wisconsinite
may be said to hold his "progres-
siveness' as dependent upon the
economics of cooperation.
There is no doubt of the success of
cooperative stores in the northwest.
They are understood to be working

the high cost of living problem, in

Was it Worth While?

More in sorrow than in anger,
more with feeling of sympathy than
of condemnation, we would like to
ask the leaders of the progressive
party whether they ,are entirely sat
istied with their work which culmin-
ated yesterday in the wreck of the
republican party and the defeat OF
w lillian H. Taft.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his followers be-
gan on the assumption that they
/ could convince the voters of this
country, in times of prosperity, that
nation was being badly treated,
that there was a great lack of JUS
tice, that the rights of man were
being invaded, that the rights of
women were nil, and genera-.y the
country was on the verge of damna-
ton and tnat Mr.. roosevelt and Mr..
johnson were the only persons who
could save it from perdition.
In the campaign which they have
conducted very hard blows have been
given and taken. Mr.. Roosevelt has
entirely changed his visiting list. He
has broken practically all his friend
ships of a lifetime, and he has fail
ed in his ambition to have a third
term as president. He has caused
numerous of his newer friends to
spend their private fortunes ike
water, and he has created a feeling
of distrust of American institutions
IN the minds of a large number of
persons.
But, fortunately, that large num-
OF persons is a very small min
ority of the total citizenship OF the
United States The constitution still
stands, the government still lives, and
it is hoped that the course of pros
perity will continue.
Was it worth while? Out of the
wreckage of the republican party
the progressive party cannot be built
up. 1t is not founded on strong
underlying principles. Those who
have supported it are for the most
part men of no deeply grounded
views. But the Grand Old Party
which honored Mr.. Roosevelt lies
PROSTATE in the dust and the denoc-
racy has come into control Of the
government. Was it worth while?-

Cooperative Stores of the Northwest
Report that a company capitalized
at 100000 has just been formed in
Minneapolis and another capitalized
at $4,000 in st. Paul, both for the
purpose of conducting cooperative
stores, gives some hint of the growth
of the sort of cooperation involved in
the northwest.
The place where the cost Of living
is said to be highest in the United
States is Madison, Wisconsin. In
Madison, stock in cooperative stores
is being bought by college profess
sors, workingmen, state officials and
the public in general. They are thus
investing in hope of reducing living
expenses by sharing in the profits of
the stores that they patronize.
In Minnesota, Wisconsin, the
Dakotas, Illinois and Washington,
112 cooperative stores are doing an
annual business of 100000 with
