6 TAFT «S«. S. AGAINST POWER OFDIGTftTOR Defends Payne Tariff Law as Maker of Prosperity—Tariff Revision Promised. Jfri YORK. Sept. 27.—A warning that the control of trusts through Fed eral incorporation and regulation would create a monstrous monopoly of power which, in the grasp of an unprincipled man. could be used to perpetuate his authority and make him a dictator who might be overthrown only by a revo lution. is sounded by President Taft in an Interview printed in an evening pa per < The World > here. Discussing this phase of the Progres nive platform, the president is quoted as saying: "It would create the most monstrous monopoly of power in the history of the world—a power as much greater, as much more autocratic, than that of a Caesar or a Napoleon, as the business Interests of the twentieth century are greater, more dominant and far reaching than were those two thou sand or a hundred years ago. An un principled man with such power in his. grasp could perpetuate his authority, pwhaps under legitimate torujA and become a dictator until his liJSSwould be shaken loose only by revolution.” Discussing the tariff, the^ president promised a reduction on as scientific rather than a haphazard basis, say ing: Promises Tariff Revision. "The tariff should be revised so far as may be necessary to keep prices from being exorbitant, so that, as I have explained in my speech of ac ceptance, the manufacturer shall se cure only enough protection to pay the scaJe of high wages which obtains and ought to obtain in this country and se cure a reasonable profit from the busi ness. This may be done, by the contin uance of tariff boards’ investigations into the facts, which would enable congress and the people to know what the tariff ss to each schedule ought t: be. The American public may rest as sured that, should the Republican part) be restored to power in al! its legisla tive branches, all the schedules in the present tariff of which complaint is made will be subjected to investigation and report without delay by a compe tent and Impartial tariff board, and to the reduction or change which may be necessary to square the rates with facts. So far as excessive prices might be due to illegal combinations, they can be dealt with under the anti-trust law." The president stated that the policy of the Republican party is not to shut out foreign manufactures, but.to foster American manufactures and to keep the AmHlcan workingman employed. Defends Payne Law Again. As to nae Payne tariff law. the presi dent says:* “The Payne law has no more to do with advancing the cost of living than the latest Atlantic cable tariff. On the contrary, it has enabled the American worker to meet the cost of living sind maintain his family in oomfort. Under the operation of that law, prosperity has been gradually restored since the P»ntc of 1907. Practically every able bodied man who is willing to work has work, and in some of the large indus trial centers, as well-as • in-othdr parts of the country', the demand for laborers far exceeds the supply. City hotels have been thronged with buyers from all sections of the Union, who report ready salejs and empty shelves. Farm ers weft* never better off. Every le gitimate industry is looking forward to etill greater prosperty, provided the na. tion’s progress shall not be halted by the benumbing glacier of free trade or the destructive lava stream of an archy.” The president, after intimating that he would call an extra session of con gress for tariff revision, was asked: “Do you mean to say, Mr. President, that you will cal! an extra session to revise the tariff”' The president re plied "My statement is sufficiently ex plicit." The presiden' declared that woman's suffrage is an Jsaue to be decided bv the states and concluded with the dec laration that he feels sanguine of re election.

But perhaps that is not a fair question. Sup pose we ask could you be as much a specialist in dressing your daughter without the aid of the Junior Department as you are with it? You see, it is a business with us, a very serious business, that can only be successful insofar as it serves. And do not think that for one instant we al low that point to escape us. We are up and plan ning and doing for the young folk all the time. We keep in very close touch with the makers of styles for misses and children. We are never sat isfied with what we have done. Doubtless that is why the department is showing such a healthy growth. It is serving better. Right now we are in the midst of the new fall things. It’s going to be worth your while to visit the department tomorrow. The things that daughter wants are here, plentifully and beautifully, in everv line. You will find • Splendid Suits at $13.50 The suits at this price are our “best foot forward.” Suits chucked full of value and of style, too. They are mostly the soft woolen mixtures, tans, greys and blues, fashioned very plainly—box coats—the kind that is best for the school-going girl. Then at sls, $17.50, S2O and Slowly Up to $5( comes the wealth of suitdom for misses. The smart and youth ful cutaways, the Norfolks, those with the Robespierre collars —and they are most attractive in these little.suits—and those that show all the bright ideas of this season’s trimmings, the fancy buttons, the self-cordings and the rather wide bias folds—these in wide wale serges, Bedford cords, mixtures, vel vets and corduroys. We wish every mother and daughter could see just how attractive these suits really are. The New Junior Coats “The Johnny Coat” is one of these: it is a three-quarter length coat, often cutaway—and has a smartness that is tak ing it far in the favor of the young folk. It is in the mixtures and the plain shades. The Mackinaw is another favorite this fall. This is a loose-fitting long coat of heavy Scotch mixtures—in rich tans, greys and black and white. It has a soft crush hat to match. \ou would like it for no other reason than its serviceableness in all sorts of weather, but over above that it has a jauntiness about it that will appeal very strongly to the young wearer. At Sio.oo and up. Rain Capes. It seems we can hardly get enough of them. The same process that makes them water proof also makes them full of warmth; which means that the coming cold and rainy days need have no terrors for wearers of “Bestyette' Rain Capes. They are priced at $3.00 and $3.50. Bestyette Rain Coats with Sou’--Wester hats to match, for both boys and girls, are $3.5°- They are very strong and very durable. They never crack or become leaky.

It is the result of treating their millinery as seriously as we do the grownup’s. Just anything won’t do. No indeed, not in the Junior Department! The hats that make up their display have been selected because of in dividual merit. I here are hats for all occasions—school hats and dress hats—in velvets, corduroys, scratch felts, French felts and velours, some very plainly trimmed with ribbons and velvets and others xery elegantly trimmed with tinted feathers and ostrich plumes.
