. The chances are that if everybody
knew the exact facts about our Holi
day line, how carefully selected and
how fair in price, we would not have
half enough to go around.
i , We have been fortunate in being
able to buy our holiday stock close,
the selling will be just as close. We
want you to see our line before asssrt
ments are broken. In the start we
will have a variety of goods not sold
elsewhere; these are apt to be the
goods you want.
Make sure of themby buying early
Fair prices will last to the end. ,
Best assortment will not.

on
the Child
Labor
Tbs following is 'what President
Roosevelt in bis message said :
"In this Investigation especial at
tention should be paid to the con
ditions ot thlld labor and child-labor
legislation in the stvsrsl states. Suoh
an investigation rnunt necessarily take
intoaooount many ot the problems
with whioh this qaeition of child labor
is connected.
These problems can be actually met
in most cases, only by the states them
selves; hat the lack of proper legisla
tion in one state in saoh a matter as
child labor renders it excessively dlffl
cult to establish protective restriction
upon the work in another state having
h earns industries, so that the worst
tends to drsz down the better.
"For this reason, it would be wel1
for the nation at leat to endeavor to
secure comprehensive information
to the conditions of labor of children
in thedifferent states.
"Suoh an Investigation and public
ation by the national government
would tend toward the securing of ap
proximately uniform legislation of th
proper character among th several
states.
"When we com to deal with great
corporations the need for th govern.
mentto act directly is far greater than
in the ess of labor, because greet oor
porations oan beoom suoh only by en.
gaging in interstate oommeroe, and
interstate oommeroe is peculiarly the
field ol the general government.
"It Is an absurdity to expeot to
eliminate the abases in great corpora
tions by stat action . It Is difficult to
be patient with so argument that such
matters should be left to the states
b cause more than oue stat pursues
the policy of creating on easy terms
corporations which are never operated
within that state at all, but in other
stales whose laws' they ignore. Th
national government slone can deal ad
quately with these great corporations
To try to dsal with them In an in
temperate, destructive, or dsmagogle
Spirit would, in all probability, mean
that nothing whatever would b ac
ompllshod and, with absolute cer
ainty, that it anything were accom
plished it would be of a harmful . na
