There must be something to be
wary Of in the Occur d Alene affair
when the platform makers studi-
ously avoid any reference to it. If
q wrong was perpetrated by the or
ganized miners, it should have been
made known in the platform, or, if
the state administration is to blame
spit il out in the platform and let
the people know just where you
stand. If an outrage on the people
has been perpetrated by the state
administration, the platform should
tell il in no uncertain tones. And
the silence contained in the plat
forms cannot conceal the defect. A
great many voters will not say much
obout this, but they will do a good
deal Of thinking. They want the
the candidates to stand on the plat
form all the time, and on the right
kind Of platform, and not slide off
just after election, thinking they
are thi whole people.

This nepublIc and It's subjects.

Democratic policy seems to be shaping
in Congress aud elsewhere toward a reso-
Lutte adherence TO the doctrine that the
provisions Of the United States constitu-
ton will extend themselves by their own
yigOr TO our newly acquired possessions, if
those possessions are to be retained.
That is what Mr.. Bryan meant the other
day when he announced his new dogma
my contention" said Mr. Bryan, lis
that republic can have no subjects"
In other words Mr.. Bryan contends that
there is in our system no place short of
citizenship, with its full constitutional
rights, for the Tagal or the Sulu, if the
sovereignty Of the United States is TO ex-
tend over the territory which the Tagal or
the Sulu inhabits.
Mr.. Bryan's dogma is claptrap.
This republic has subjects who are not
citizens, and it has had such for more than
hundred years; and the status of these
subjects has been recognized and defined
repeatedly bV decisions of the supreme
court of the United States.
The American Indians, for example, are
subjects; not in any odious or monarch al
meaning OF the word, but in the sense that
while maintaining their tribal relations
within the jurisdiction of the United
States they are necessarily subject to the
laws which Congress may enact. They
are governed by acts of Congress. They
owe no allegiance to any state, but they
owe a paramount allegiance to the govern
ment OF the United States, and when they
refuse obedience or attack the flag, as
Geronimo and Sitting Bill did, they be-
come rebels against the flag and authority
of the United States.
Mr.. Bryan is lawyer when he is not a
soldier or statesman in pursuit of office.
II he Will read the very able and lucid ex-
position OF this question of "subjects"
made by Senator Jonathan Ross of Yer.
mont in his speech IN the Senate on Tues
day last, he may learn to be slower here
after IN committing himself to glitterng
but tallacioLs generalities.

The attendance was large, and the Interest

the success of the work of the order in 1910
The question for discussion vas: "Attbe

mer and this winter which is the more
profitable, winter or summer dtrying. and
why?" The speakers thought that taking
one year with another, that IL is a better
way to make butter during the cooler
weather, but thought that farmers should
plan TO make butter the year around. and
should raise grain TO feed their stock.
After a sumptuous dinner the exercises
were opened to the public, with large Al.
tendance. The male quartet sang a eau.
tful song. Mr.. Lynde gave the greeting
extending to the visitors a cordial vel.
come.
He spoke of the widespread influence of
the Grange, not only in Congress, but all
through the country. 1t contains people
of all denominations. The most active
members of our churches are our best
Grange members, because they know that
the Grange is founded on correct princi.
pies. The Grange is really a training
school for people when called upon for du.
ty in other places.
Capt. II. G. Stree'er of Brattleboro re.
sponded, referring to the meeting one
year ago and the duty OF all for the present
year. The Pomona must do a work for
good this year which can only be done by
each patron doing that which his hand
finds to do. Dummerston is up and do
ing its work, setting the pace for this year
A recitation was given by Miss A bbe
Bennett and Miss Gates of Dummers,on,
and was followed by reading by Miss Hop
kins of Brattleboro. The quartet enlivened
the exercises by music. Question for dis
cussiOn, "Was the Dairymep's Assoca-
tion recently held in Brattleboro a benefit
to the Farmers and Their Families? Ii So
| How?'
Daniel Gates opened the discussion.
Mrs. Emma Lynde compared the old way
with the present. Lewis Lynde, Oscar T.
Ware, Mr.. Brown and II. X. Chamber
lain engaged in the discussion. Some
things learned were how TO ventilate a
stable, care of stables, sailing butter, ripen-
ing cream, possibility of making ones own
butter even better than that at a creamery /:
also applying ideas from experts TO ones
own farm work-that the food eaten pro-
duces energy that will help carry out the
idea learned there that the cooking of an
! egg, potato properly contained the true
! priucii les OF cooking; that food must be
! well cooked; also many other thoughts.
