She Knows What She Wants

The we'll informed housekeeper
objects to the use of alum in
food. She might read in an ad-
vertisement or be told that it
was all right in the quantities
used, but in the end she would
merely ask, "Do you mean to say
that these baking powders con-
tain alum7n
If the answer, however quail
fled, we're in the affirmat i've,
that would be enough. She would
not buy it. Why?
Because she knows that cream
Of tartar has always been accepted
as the most wholesome product for
raising cake ana biscuit, and she
wants baking powder made Of
cream OF tartar, like Royal.
This conclusion is the result
Of unconscious absorpt ion, either;
her own or her mothers, OF the
opinions Of the highest authori-
ties on hygiene and home cooking.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, May 1910 the Edi-
tor of The Bee: Reactionary influences
have captured the ammunition of pro-
gress with such completeness that even
the terms by which we have come TO
know the CONTROVERSIAL hosts of socialisa-
ton arc upside down. We call the radical
a conservative and the conservative a
radical. Simply because the name Of
radicslism Is applied to the age-worn
method of competition, we appland its
advocates; while the true radical. he who
preached combination and cooperation, is
errOneouSly dubbed the conservative.
A definition OF chaos is worshiped by
the advocates of free and equal COM
petition" The true social evolutionist Is
hereto and would go beyond the past to
talk in terms OF a unity rather than in
terms of units. Instead Of conflict, his
Is the gospel Of cooperation. He is the
true Interpreter of economic forces that
reached their highest preliminary stage
% rapid development in America after
the civil war and in Europe after the
Welding Of an empire by Bismarck. Their
highest practical cooperative efficiency
vas attained In Germany under Kaiser
Wilhelm; and every reactionary infiu-
ence. through, its disciples of the old
school OF competition or anarchy. is to-
day directed against this remarkable
creed OF humanism with its great spirit
OF social betterment.
In America this science of an economy
in combination would have begun by now
to show its benefits but for demagogy
and selfish politics. 1t Is enevitable that
today we witness the competitive princi-
pie run amuck in wholesale mutiny
against all authority. reasonable as well
as unreasonable Instead Of the social
eood' as an ideal, we hear expressed the
ideal Of 'olass benefits:" and instead Of
legislation being enacted with a COM

legislation the natural climax of a COM
