COOPERATIVE BUYING.
Secretary McKecn's Advice to Maine
Farmers.


Secretary B. Walker McKeen, of the
Maine State board of agriculture, has is
sued the following circular:
Having received quite large number of
letters from farmers recently asking about
the Boston cooperative buyers associa-
ton, we have concluded to make a short
statement for publication, regarding this
method of doing business.
While we have no direct charges of
fraud to make at present against this or
any similar organization, and white We
recognize that it may possibly have a
place i'll the economical handling of
goods in some sections, we are firmly of
he opinion that the farmers of Maine
have nothing to gain by becoming mem
bers of any such association.
In the first place, il we grant that there
may be present benefits to come from it,
we still have no assurance that they may
continue for any length OF time, there
fore when we need it most We may find
ourselves without its aid.
Then again there are claims made that
it Is a grange organization which by good
aut hority we learn is not SO at present
Neither Is it cooperative organization
i'll the strict sense of the term. Co-opera
tive buying consists in the massing of
orders by several individuals into one or
der, which is forwarded with the cash to
some wholesale dealer, who ills it and
sends to one of the purchasers. This can
be done without the intervention OF any

Senator Lodges speech on the

utterances which, if sufficiently nu-
merous, will make war impossible.
When Europe understands that the
Monroe doctrine means to us what

then Europe will keep its hands off
American soil as America keeps its
hands off European Seryility or
timidity of tone in this crisis may en-
courage European powers to such acts
of aggression as can be resisted only
by force of arms. Plain speech may
serve as warning that will be
needed. The needs of the time are
plain speech, activity in construction
of coast defenses, energy in rehabili-
tation of our merchant marine and in
enlargement of our war navy, and a
return to such measure of protective
tariffs as shall make the United States

Names Vital Statistics.

One of the most ridiculously COM
piete State documents which comes
to our desk, is the report of the regis
trar of vital statistics for the year
1898. We say ..ridiculously COM
plete," because il seems to US that a
large proportion of the facts and
figures therein contained are of no
Importance whatever, and only serve
to impair the practical utility" of
the report by increasing its bulk and
delaying its issuance.
The report is printed under an act
of the legislature, passed in 1891. In
August, 1894, the first report was
issued, giving returns for the year
1892. This month, nearly year and
half later, we receive the report for
the year 1898. At this rate we may
expect to receive the report for the
present year some time in the sum-
mer of 1900.
We by no means undervalue a re-
port of the vital statistics of the State.
On the contrary, the value of report,
such as the law directs shall be
printed annually, giving returns of
the preceding year in such form as
will render them of practical utility"
cannot be overestimated. But by
what manner of reasoning the words
'Fpractical utility" can be construed
to mean a report of such overwhelm-
ing magnitude and useless detail, is
beyond our comprehension.
Of what moment is it to be told that
of eightythree deaths by drowning,
which occurred during the year 1898,
lone was from capsizing of a sail
boat, one by the upsetting of boat,
and one while driving logs; the rest
not specified F' By searching through
the report we may find how many of
the deaths by poisoning were due to
Oil wormseed. Such absurdity of de-
tail would be laughable were it not
for the seriousness of the subject.
The amount of work necessary to
compile such an array of facts and
figures is great, and the registrar
must be complimented for his thor
oughness. There are many facts OF
vital interest contained in the report,
but it is a mistake to hide them amid
such a conglomerate mass of sense
less statistics.
The collection of vital statistics is
of the utmost value, and the registrar
has, no doubt, done the best he
could. He is handicapped very seri-
ously, however, by the Indifference
or wilful neglect of many of those
whose duty it is to make reports to
the town and city clerks.
The law requires that every birth,
marriage and death shall be reported
