1t is generally conceded that granger
trade has not been Ii success, at least
50 far as | know its history in New

Tribune Farmer. The cause primarily
has been the feeling that grange money
was more valuable than other coin I'M

We're given to members of the order
for cash, of course but other people
soon learned that cash purchase meant
the same discount, whether one was a
granger or not. Then came the trade
card" system, which is only now nomi-
nally in vogue and will, | am sure,
shortly pass out entirely. Individually
my experience rs been that cheap

there will be seven cabinet officers IN
the line of succession. In fact, have a
bill now pending in congress to increase
the number to nine by placing the
secretaries of agriculture and of COM

pany. So that we are not likely to be

ker and Senator Davis should both be
gathered to their fathers during the
presidential terms beginning on the 18th
of next March unless some calamity or
epidemic should suddenly kill the en-
tire cabinet.
On the morning of Saturday, Aug. 30,
the Burlington Hawkeye-a very bright
paper, rendered famous by that bril-
liant man, Robert J. Burdette-con-
tanned communication under the
date line of Washington, Aug. 10, in
which it was stated that in accepting
his nomination Mr. Davis was so feeble
mentally and that his mind was so
palpably wandering that he failed to
read a single sentence intelligibly. The
prediction was made therein that be-
fore the campaign has progressed far
the national committee will be COM
PEELED to take him off the ticket. 1t
must be assumed that the editor of the
Hawkeye never saw that communities
ton before it appeared in his paper,
for the uniform testimony of those who
attended the vice presidential notifica-
ton ceremonies is to the effect that
Mr.. Davis acquitted himself most
handsomely in every respect. In fact,
the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat which
loves the Democracy not at all. edi-
torially pronounces Mr.. Davis speech
of acceptance as superior to Judge
Parker's and declares it is well worthy
of careful perusal.
What really posters these Republican
patriots is the fact, which has fiitrated
through their brains, that Senator
Davis candidacy will give the seven
electoral votes of West Virginia to the
Democrats, together with a United
States senator and three or four repre-
sentatives in congress.
