needs of the public developed. Some of
my friends shook their heads over this.

men still from force Of habit applauded
what Lincoln had done in the way or
radical dealing with the abuses Of his
day. but they did not apply the spirit In
which Lincoln worked 10 the abuses oil
their own day. Both houses Of Congress
were controlled by these men. Their
leaders in the Senate were Messrs. AID

when I became President was Mr.. Hen

succeeded by Mr.. Cannon, who, although
widely differing from Senator Aldrich in
matters Of detail represented the same

or two afterward we took long tramp
through the forest. and in the afternoon
climbed Mount Tahawus.
After reaching the top l had descended
a few hundred feet to a shelf Of land,
where there was a little lake. when /
saw a guide coming out Of the woods on
our trail from below. l felt at once that
he had bad news, and. sure enough, ne
handed me a telegram saying that the
Presidents condition was much worse and
that l must come TO Buffalo Immediately

II was some time afterward before l
could get a wagon 10 drive me out 10
the nearest railway station, North Creek,

roads were the ordinary wilderness roads
and the night was dark. But we changed
horses two or three times-when ! say

equally resolute effort to get on with me.

thing that I had already succeeded IN
getting done.
There were, OF course, many Senators
and members OF the lower house with
whom up TO the very last l continued to
work in hearty accord and with a grow
ing understanding. I have not the space
TO enumerate, as I would like to. these
men. For many years Senator Lodge had
been my close personal and political
friend with whom l discussed all public
questions that arose, usually with agree
ment; and our intimately close relations
were, Of course, unchanged by my entry
into the White House. He was Of all our
public men the man who had made the
closest and wisest study of our foreign
relations, and more clearly than almost
any other man he understood the vital
fact that the efficiency of our navy con-
ditioned our national efficiency in foreign
affairs. Anything relating to our inter-
national relations, from Panama and the
navy 10 the Alaskan boundary question,
the Aigeciras negotiations or the peace
OF Portsmouth, / was certain to discuss
with Senator Lodge and also with certain
other members OF Congress, such as Sem
ator Turner, Of Washington, and Repre-
sentative Hit, Of Illinois. Anything re-
lating to labor legislation and TO meas
ures for controlling big business or eff
clently regulating the giant railway sys-
TENS 1 was certain TO discuss with Sem

against a foolish and ill-judeed mock-rad-

against the particularist or states rights

AN TO MAKE YOUR DOLLAR BUY MORE CENTS WORTH OF FOO

, holder has paid altogether fer each dollar
spent, for groceries, 1873 cents; for fish,
461 cents; for fruit, and vegetables, 45.7
cents, and for dairy products. 1903 cents.
In meat alone is there little or no extra
cost for wholesale handling. That Is
where the Meat Trust comes In. The re-
tailers profit is generally the only one.
and that, as has been noted, is meagre
when compared with the profits OF the
others.
Ii is the workingman, especially tho
man with the low wage or income, who
has to pay the most for this service.
More than one-seventh of the income or
a man earning SLIGO or less, 1t has been
developed, is required to cover tho cost
of bringing the food for his family from
the river front to his wifes stove. A
large percentage of this excessive cost
is consumed in the charges OF the re-
taller, for the prices asked by the small
retailer in the tenement districts, where
the householder is obliged to buy in
small quantities because OF lack of cash
and Of storage space. are higher in pro-
portion than in more favored neighbor-
hoods. The man with a small income is
obliged TO spend almost half of it on the
family food supply.

NO REVERSAL OF POLICY.

On three previous occasions the Vice
President had succeeded 10 the Presi-
dency on the death Of the President. In
each case there had been reversal Of
party policy, and a nearly immediate
and nearly complete change in the per-
sonnet Of the higher Offices. especially

as to whether he is changing them or

RETAIL DISTRIBUTION.

1t Is estimated that on the average the
cost OF retail distribution TO the work.
ingman OF modest income is 23ia cents
out OF every dollar he spends, and that
more that one-tenth of the entire income
OF his family goes into the pocket OF
the local food purveyors whom he patron
ICES. Notwithstanding this high cost or
service, ii is not clear that the big mar
gins afford more than reasonable profits
to the individual dealers. They, too, are
subject 10 the same conditions, so far as
rents and living expenses are concerned,
as are their customers. According to the
data, the net profit of the corner store,
after deducting 81 per cent for manage
ment. is only 81 cents out of the dollar.
Why is mere physical existence so
costly in the poorer neighborhoods? The
data tends to show that there are two
principal factors responsible. These are
the prevalence of the corner store type
I'm retailing and the smallness OK the
unit OF this type of store; that is to say,
the modest volume Of business which IL
can command.

price you must pay for the privilege-if
you look upon it as privilege. In other
words, the farmer and the railroad ana
steamboat companies receive only 6l.2
cents Of your dollar. 1T Is not strange
that the farmer wonders who gets the
profit when ne compares what the en-
shaved denizen Of the city pays with what
he receives,
