Julius kept very quiet, but inwardly he was planning something very

Socialists to Take Action.

Vienna in 1914 the Swedish delegates

that a strong .anti-alcohol agitation

MORE PRACTICAL RESULTS.

Thomas Cooper, secretary of the
in charge of Uncle Sans experiment
farm work in North Dakota, has again
proved his ability to get practical re-
suits. The pork production contest,
the results of which were announced
in The Forum Saturday, is a demon
stration of what is possible in this
line in North Dakota, that should stir
the entire farming community Of the
state.
& 1t used to be said that the farmers
down in Iowa bought more land to
raise more corn to feed more hogs
with which to buy more land to raise
more corn to feed more hogs, etc"
While there is no particular craving
for this sort of a mOnotonous merry
go-round in North Dakota. there is a
Realization, now that the state has
proved it's ability to raise a big crop
of corn, that hog and cattle raising
are now part of North Dakota's big
opportunities.
E Secretary Cooper has proved him
self something Of a philosopher as
well as an expert farmer, by the way
he gets the farmers interested. He first
intrests the young folks of the com
munitie5. Young people are natural
enthusiasts and they bring to any new
undertaking IN open mind n a fine
energy which usually do things, when
they are directed along the right
channel.
Now hat the young folks have
proved what a success can be made
of pork raising. the older folks in the
different communities will undoubted-
w be more thoroughly aroused to the
possibilities along this line.

POTATO APPROPRIATIONS.

Recent discussions with reference to
appropriations of potatoes into the
United States lend interest to a state
fment compiled by the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce of the
department of ommerce showing the
imports Of this class of merchandise
during a long term Of years. 1t shows
that the largest importation of pota-
toes in In single year occurred in
the fiscal year 1912, when the totaE
quantity imported was 1880, 900
bushels, the XXI largest being in 1909,
S,333,333 bushels, and in 1902. 1866 68
bushels.
The total quantity imported since
1900 is practically 1000, 900 bushels
and the quantity exported in the same
period, 16,000,0 900 bushels, the total
production in the United States dur
ing that period having been over A.
900. 100000 bushels, or an average Of
approximately 300. 900, 900 bushels per
annum the figures of recent years
averaging about 100000, 900 bushels
Der annum except in years of ahnor-
mally short crops.
The largest importations of potatoes
naturally occur in years . Of short
crops in the United States. The high
record importation, that of, the fiscal
year 1912, 1880. 900 bushels, followed

The Taft Myth Come True.

Kansas City Star: President Will
son is doing exactly what the country
expected President Taft to do four
years ago, but what he failed to do.
Have you noted this aspect of the
administrations
When Mr.. Taft became a presiden-
tial candidate in 1907, The Star, in
common with persons devoted to the
progressive policies, believed that he
was the one man in the country best
fitted to carry them QUITO "cIinch
the Roosevelt policies" as he was fond
Of saying. His adherents recognized
that he was temperamentally different
from President Roosevelt. But at that
time 1t was a common saying that
Roosevelt had succeeded in the gigan-
tic task of arouslng public sentiment
and that it would be the duty Of his
successor to Crystalize this sentiment
into legislation. The country had haC
the prophet; now it was to have the
laWgiver to put the teachings Of the
prophecies into effect.
It has the lawgiver, the clincher OF
the Roosevelt policies, at last, but only
after four years delay. In the tariff
and currency system, in the proposed
trust legislation, Mr.. Wilson is fol
lowing out precisely the course Of &C.
ton that the nation was looking fol
from Mr.. Taft. His quiet, but eff,
~fective methods, his sure handling O.
problems, his driving force exercised
with the least possible appearance o.
compulsion, are just what people sup
posed would be displayed under Taft
administration.
The Taft myth has turned into thu
Wilson actually.
