North Owosso Farmers Club.

Clouds and mud did not prevent the
members from attending in goodly
number and enjoying the day with Mr..
and Mrs. William Saver, Jr. Several
visitors were in attendance also.
After the devotional exercises and
song by the choir, the discussion of the
various questions was begun. How
to Best Teach Children to be Man
nerly," was first considered. 1t was
decided that in this case, as in many
others, example is better than precept
Teach a child self-respect and he will
seldom do dishonorable thing. Cor
poral punishment should not be re-
sorted to, at least in very few cases;
never punish child when you are
angry, but show him that he is in the
wrong.

of grain over the different states,
showing him whether there is an over.
supply or a deficiency; also the report
as it is now given, is more nearly cor
rect and more favorable to the farmer
than as though it was given by the
spectators.
After the noon intermission, the pro-
gram was again opened by music. 1t
was explained why this is not leap

Messrs. Willoughby aud Saver favored
the club with an instrumental duet.

what the person would not dare say in
words. All believed that the cartoon is
debasing.
Mrs. Stewart rendered vocal selec-
ton. "How May Plant Insects be Ex-
terminated?" Mrs. Spaulding and
some others gave the remedies they had
had experience with. Some use Ivory
soap in solution; not only house plants,
but plants in general, were considered.
Some recommend pyrethrum.
Masters George and Dannie vii.
loughby entertained the members with
q little song entitled, ''The Neat Little
Clock"
"Why Have Women, as Rule, More
Pride Than Mem" The members de-
cided that they have not, but we should
all have pride, not vanity. A person
with no pride Is one to be pitied We,
most of us, have pride in some direc-
ton. One should take pride in the eleva.
ton of his character and in abhoring
what Is beneath or unworthy of him.

free trade. j. Whelan was opposed to
free trade, as the condition between the
West indies and this country are not
equal j. j. Patched thought the tariff
created to tide them over for the time,
and by so doing it does not leave an
open door for other countries. Mr..
Blackman thought that if we had free
trade it would make this country COM

bring us down on level with that

was promised them.

| 9. PhiI1ppines-The reports which
| have come to us from reliable sources, of
/ the depIorable conditions now existing
in the Philippines as the result OF their
occupation by our army, fill us with in
dignatiOn and alarm. We learn OF the eS-
Establishment of the saloon under the pro-
lection Of the American flag, and the IN
PRODUCTION into our army Of licensed
prostitution, a system abolished some
years ago in the armies OF Great Britain
( by act of Parliament. These abOm1na-
tions have hlled our army hospitals with
thousands Of our young soldiers, while
the permanent moral as well as physical
deterioration cannot be estimated. We
! plead with those in authority to fulfill
! their obligations to the American nation
as we'll as to the Philippines, since the
arowed policy of the United States Is to
civiIize, educate and Christian1Ze the
peoples in our new possessions, and, in
the name of Christian wOmanhOod we
! ilnplore that all the degrading cond1-
tion6 which now surround our soldiers
(who are in service to uphold the honor
of our country, may be speedily aboI-
ished.

formation at only one remove from
member of the faculty, that cigarette
smoking is practiced by students
OF the University of Maine, we wish to
record our sense of the Iamentable injury
which this practice works on the phys1-
cal, mental and moral man; and we be-
lieve that it W uld ,couduce much to the
strength and in aueDce of our State If our
State University should initiate the regu-
latiOns of the United States Naval Acad-
envy, of Bates College and other progress
siVe Institutions, and receive no students
who will not refrain from cigarette Smok-
ing, and the use Of tobacco in other
forms.

commend to all our members our Nation

70. Thanks. We tender our thanks to
the railroad and steamboat officials for
reduced rates, to the Calais Union and
others who have so kindly received us in
to their homes and provided for our COM
fort, to the church officials and all who
have helped to make this convention a
success.

have been hurt by it too, for they have
had to pay higher prices for coal. The
percentage of those Injured by the strike
is enormous as compared with those ben
cited, and that this would be the case
was perfectly we'll known in advance.
Yet the operators refused either to re-
spond to the demand OF the miners for
a raise of wages or to treat with them,
except as individuals, when all theEadvant-
age would be with themselves. But now
after several weeks of idIeness and waste
the operators have apparently come to
the conclusion to grant the IN crease de-
manded. 1t is clear enough that they
would have stood better with the
miners and the people If they had con-
ceded some or all the demads of the
miners without a strike, than they will
now when what concessions they may
make will be regarded as the result OF
coercion brought about by the strike.
Rightly enough the miners VIII look
upon any yielding upon the part of the
operators now as victory
and they win regard the strike as the
agent which made the victory possible.
The strike as means of getting what
they want VIII get a great "boom' in
their estimation, and 1t viii tie
made much easier in the future to start
one and get the miners to join In it. If
they were going to yield at all it would
have been far better for the operators to
have yielded before the strike was begun.
Then they would have got some credit
for fair dealing, and have i'm
proved the relations between themselves
and the miners. Now they are likely to
get no credit either from the miners or
the public,

The currency question is coming now
TO the front as the campaign progresses,
and it looks as il the last days OF the
contest might see that question almost as
prominent as in 1896 The issue of i'm
perialism has not proved a success.
Some Republicans have honestly differed
with the President in regard to the Phil
ipp1ne policy, but very few of them have
shown any disposition to go to BryA n
on that issue. No Issue can be made out
OF the trust for the attitude of both par
ties toward that is practically the same.
The only issue which Is clear cut is the
currency 1ssues and because OF this fact
it is fcrcing itself to the front in spite
of the efforts of men like David B. Hill
and Bourke Cochrane to keep it in the
background. 1t is understood that Mr..
Bryan never wanted to keep it In the
background, and only consented after
much urging to having Imperialism
made paramount

Senator Beveridge of Indiana has been
discussing the trust question with a good
deal Of conservatism and sense. He holds
that there are good trusts and bad trusts,
and that the latter must be restrained
and perhaps destroyed. National control
OF combinations he thinks is an ind1spen-
sible prerequisite for dealing with the
trusts and to this end he recommends a
constitutional amendment similar to the
one that was introduced in the House Of
Representatives at the last session, There
may be a serious question as to the FEAST
bility OF passing such a constitutional
amendment Certainly there are some
very serious obstacles to be overcome.
But whether his remedy be feasible or
not the Senator is entitled to q good deal
OF credit for discussing this question in a
calm and rational way. The temptation
is very strong, when speaking of trusts,
to shoot off fireworks and indulge in
reckless and wholesale denunciation-in
short to treat the subject with view Of
firing the public heart rather than for
the purpose of discovering what is evil
In trusts and the best method of eliminat-
ing 1t.

If the latest reports from China are to
be believed the government has executed
a right about face, and is now degrading
Prince Tuan and the other Boxer sympa-
th1zers whom the dispatches awhile ago
said it was rewarding. II this be so
then the government has taken the best
possible course to save the empire from
Partition among the powers, or
other treatment that would virtually put
an end to the sovereignty of the Chinese
over their own country. When it was
reported some days ago that Prince Tuan
had been appointed secretary to the en-
peror 1t looked as If the government was
counting its own destruction by giving
Germany plausible excuse for refusing

While the strike is not yet settled there
seems to be reasonable ground for believ-
ing that 1t Will be settled soon. The fall
in anthracite prices indicates that the
coal dealers who are near the operators
have got tip from some source and
discern settlement in the distance. AS
Stunning that settlements is near the
question naturally arises why 1t
could not have been effected in time to
avert strike altogether. The strike has
done nobody any good, except possibly a
few coal speculators who got wind OF it
early enough to enable them to make some
money, but it has done vast number of
people harm. The operators have been
hurt by 1t, for their business has been
practically paralyzed, The miners have
been hurt by 1t, for they have earned no
wages since it began, and to go a short
ime even without wages means a good
deal to them. A vast army of consumers
