Ohio State Grange that it has been my
duty and privilege to render an ad

State Grange ends. l have given ii
more than quarter of century of

best interests of the farming class

we find that there were more bright
days than dark ones, more successes
than failures.
Through some homes dark shadows
have fallen, yet, in looking over the
years Summing up) we can say our
lines have fallen to us i'm pleasant
places and we have a goodly heritage,
the Grange work is our jurisdiction
has been steadily prosperous, many of
the Oranges have materially increased
their membership and we have or
ganized since our last State Grange
meeting new Oranges and reorganized
three counties in the state, but what
have Oranges.
We now have in Ohio in good stand
ing fully $4,000 members.
SPECIAL ORGANIZERS.
The State Grange made provision for
the State Master to send out at his
discretion special organizers, to or,
ganize Oranges in unoccupied terri
tories 1t was thought that by this me-
thod the work of organizing could be
more rapidly carried forward. After
two years of experience in this met
hod, we are forced to confess that re-
suits have not been such as were an.
ticipated, good men We're found, who
were willing to work for the small com
pensation stipulated and they did work
faithfully and as economically in their
expenditures for travel and board as
anyone could ask, and still the return
in organization has not been satisfac.
tory to workers of the State
Grange.
TO organize n Grange among inteli
gent men and women in new territory,
where they have not been in contact
with the order more time for infor,
nation and thought must be given
than can ordinarily he done by an or
ganizer going into the neighborhood
and spending one. two or three days
calling from house to house and closing
with a public meeting.
This plan is good one for a deputy
in his own county where he is well ac-
quainted with the proposed new mem
bers and they with him.
He has met them occasionally ana
talked with them about the Grange
ever since he belonged, three, five or
fifteen years as it may be. But for a
stranger to 60 into new territory where
he is not known and where the Grange
is not known only in name is very
different as these faithful workers
have learned after these many years
of observation and experience, | am
con vinced that the better plan is for
the Master of the State Grange in
some way, sometimes in one way and
sometimes in another 10 get the names

to control arbitrarily any of our in
dustries the needed legislation must be
had. We have been struggling long
in Ohio to relieve our dairy interests
from the constant competition with
base counterfeits and frauds, that to
Il great extent ruined our markets,
food commissioners established and
many excellent laws for the suppress
sion of the evil enacted, but in spite
of all this. about all the benefit these
laws and the office are to anyone in the
State is to give a fat living to the Of
flee holders, and munity to the coun.
terfeters, Ohio is producing, selling
and using, multiplied tons of imitation
butter. We seemed to be compelled to
look to our National Government for
relief; the "Grout Bill" the provisions
of which the Grange, indorsed at its
last sessions have just passed the
lower house of Congress by very
decided, majority, but, it is evident
that the friends of counterfeit butter
will make strong effort to prevent
it's passing the Senate. | recommend
that you at once pass strong reso-
lutions requesting the Senators from
Ohio to use their influence and vote
in order that the "Grout Bilp' be
speedily senacted into law.
At sessions of our last legislature
some needed amendments to our laws
We're had, notably the amendment
to the game laws aad to the dog laws.
But ALREADY opposition to the laws as
they now are, is being organized and
watchful diligence must be main,
tanned on our part or these righteous
amendments will be annulled | re-
commend that you continue to main

inciDnati, Ohio. July 1.-The Rev.
W. II. w. Rees resigned today as assIs
tant secretary of the Freedmen's Aid
and Southern Educational Society, as
he would not serve under q Negro.
This Negro is the Rev. III. G. 3. Mason,
one Of the ablest and most highly edu'
Gated colOred church leaders of Ameri'
ca. He was elected chief secretary at
the Chicago conference, to succeed the
Rev. J. W. Hamilton, now bishop
The resignation was the sensation of a
meeting of the society, held at the
Western Methodist BoeK Concern here.
Mr.. Reefs act was supported by many
of the society members present, several
of whom bitterly denounced the idea
of the Negro minister having chief
supervision of the Office. The resigDa-
ton was accepted, and Mr.. Rees says
he Will return to the pulpit for living
His couEse, however, is roundly con-

has been so greatly impaired as to rem
