NATIONAL GRANGE, P. OF h.

The annual session of the Nationl Grange,
Patrons of Husbandry, commenced at Ian
sing, Michigan, on Wednesday Delegates
were present from twenty-six states. Grand
Master Aaron Jones, in his annual address,
dealt with many of the important questions
of the hour. He congratulated the order
on the prosperity it has enjoyed during the
past year. An important part Of its work, he
declared, was to make the farming industry
more important and profitable. He expressed
the opinion that the cost Of production can be
reduced from 10 to % per cent. and the aggre-
gate production of the farms of the United
States increased from so to 100 per cent. by the
adoption of the best methods.
The many causes of present unsatisfactory
conditions were, he stated, excessive charges
and determinations in transportation, exor-
btant storage charges, large commission short
ages, unequal taxation local and national,
dealing options on boards of trade, trusts,
authorizations of food products and official op-
preston. Many of these causes, he said, were
fostered and protected by legislative enact
ment.
Farmers were advised to provide for the sale
of their products in such manner as will secure
to them what justly belongs to them To this
end Grand Master Jones recommended that
the farmer should never give up control of his
property until it is needed for consumption.
The following recommendations in the line
of national legislation were made.
The extension of the free rural mail delivery
so as to place it on par with the delivery in
cities, postal savings banks election of United
States Senators by the people, a constitutional
amendment giving Congress power to regulate
and control trusts and other combinations,
enlargement of the powers of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, regulation of the use
of shoddy, pure-food laws, provision for the ex-
tension OF markets for products equally with
manufactured articles, enactment of an anti
trust law clearly defining what acts on the
part of any corporation would be detrimental
to public welfare. speedy construction of the
Nicaragua Canal by the United States
In conclusion he advocated the speedy con-
struction of ship canal connecting the Mis-
sissippi river with the Great Lakes and the
lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.

Mr.. Talbott's Personal Triumph.
Rn1ti,1loye 1,,1e9.;cn,


The great personal triumph at the election
was that of the veteran political leader of Bal
timore county, the Hon. Joshua Frederick
Cockey Talbot. Political leaders come and
go, but he remains on thes stage forever. They
grow old, innocuous, decrepit, and fall by the
wayside when overwhelmed by defeat, never
to rise. Not so with Mr.. Talbot. Four times
has he been elected to Congress. Twice has he
been defeated at the polls but each time he
came forth smiling and confident. Eight
years ago when he suffered his first defeat at
the polls, he declared he would again sit in
Congress. Twice when the nomination was
within his grasp he would not accept it, be-
lieving that the time was not opportune for
him to seek reelection. Two years ago he be-
lieved the time had arrived for him to crafty
his long delayed ambition. Again he fell be-
fore defeat. The next day after election he
was as cheerful as ever, and again he said he
would sit in Congress. His wish has been
gratified. He will serve two years and true to
his promise. for he never breaks promise, he
will not again seek nomination. The ambi-
ton which he has cherished during his work
ing hours and of which he has dreamed during
his slumbers, has been gratifed In Congress
he will see many new faces and will hear
strange voices but in the gathering will be
men, Republicans and Democrats, who knew
him years ago, and with whom he was a

LIFE TENURE IN OFFICE.

Nessrs. Editors There has been much

was, of course, owing to several causes, not
the least among which was the absence of
what the friends of monarchistic life tenure in
office have been pleased to call the spoils sys-

rule. Just as this system of civil service en-
croaches upon majority rule, so will the inter

tics. Destroy half the interest and you get
half the votes.
High-strung patriotism, possessed only by
limited few, who ask themselves what effect

of the Panama canal. or upon our imam
cial relations with Europe. has very little

They would like to see the effect victory or de-

Carroll County and Mr.. Page.

While the Republicans of Carroll county
deeply regret the defeat of Mr.. W. Tyler Page
for Congress, they have no cause to reproach
themselves with the result Probably more
vigorous campaign would have considerably
increased his plurality in the county, but
without avail in promoting his election. The
plurality against him in Baltimore county was
much greater than was anticipated by either
party and could not have been overcome by
any amount of effort. 1t was a fight against
heavy odds and few Republicans were at all
sanguine of winning in the district.

THE MASSACHUSETTS Board of Railway Com
missioners has made report on the Pittsield
accident that wounded the President and killed
a Secret Service officer. Some time ago the
local authorities investigated the case, but the
remarks or conclusions of the railway COM
mission are of more Importance, and should
merit special attention by the managers of all
trolley lines. OF the management of electric
cars in general the report says: THE imme-
date responsibility for the movement Of the
car rests with the motorman - and again:
IA street car should always be under such con-
troll as to enable the motorman to meet any
event which he has reason to believe is likely
to happen; :" and, still further "A motor
man has no right when crossing street to
assume that all other travel will surrender the
right of way to him." These general consid-
erations are sound and should be kept in mind.
In the Pittsfield case the motorman was run
ming his car at dangerous rate of speed where
he knew an accident, owing to the excitement
and crowd, might happen. The driver of the
Presidents carriage had right to expect that
in crossing the tracks he would not be exposed
to the peril of being run down by trolley car.

COMMENTING EDIToRIALLY upon the death of
Judge George Yellott, of Baltimore county,
the Baltimore Sun of Friday said Judge
Yellott was we'll grounded in those principles
of law and right which guarantee to every
human being in this country the full measure
of personal liberty and enjoyment and protec-
ton of life and property. He stood like a
stone wall against every encroacbment, come
in whatever guise it may whether it was the
enlargement of the powers of justices of the
peace by methods that were questionable I'M
State, or in any other shape. No appeal in
voking the writ of habeas corpus in favor of
those who may have been deprived of their
liberty through the operation of statutes at
variance with theguarantees of the fundamen-
tai law was ever made to him in vain. He
enjoyed the confidence of all the people in his
circuit. He was the brave protector of the
weak and their refuge in trouble"
MORE THAN fifty girls are studying scientific
farming in the Minneapolis College of Agricul-
ture. The course they take includes botany,
chemistry, physics and geology, requiring in
the first two years two terms of each. They
pay special attention to cooking, laundering,
household economies, furnishing houses and
social culture. They learn to plan buildings
and to lay out grounds. By this means it is
hoped that farmers can be provided with wives
who will know enough about making life in
the country attractive to keep the boys from
emigrating to towns and cities. This is good
idea, and we trust its development will be
eminently successful. The boys will stick to
the land if they can get wives who are help
meets for them.
