The Case Agains. Smoor.

The interest so widely shown by
women's organizations in the Smoot
ease is plainly due 10 their moral at
ti;ude against poiygamy. Many of the
good people who have not followed
the case closely have continued taas-
sert that Mr.. Smoot himself is Il po-
lygamist,-a sheer invention. which
no one at Washington connected with
the case against Smoot has ever
thought OF bringing forward. Sim
nered down, the real attack upon
Smoct can be stated in this way:
Present-day MormonisIn is nh inn
moral and quasi-criiniaal conspiracy,
held together. or the part of its lead
erS, by oaths Incompatible with 10y
atty to the Constitution and Govern
ment OF the United States: for which
reason no protesting Mormon, and
especially no high ruler OF the Nor
mon church. ought to be allowed to
sit III either House of Congress. II
Snioot be excluded. it must be upon
some such ground as this. 1t is not
likely that Congress, having admitted
a Mormon state to the Union, will
now go so fax as TO hold that Nor
mons may not represent their State
in Congress. Undoubtedly. however,
Congress VIII henceforth, in all
cases. exclude men known TO be po-
lyga,nists. Furthermore, Whenever
it can be Enthusiastically shown tina.
apostles or rulers in the Mormon
Church, even though not polygamists,
have been guilty of performing the
ceremony iii poiyganous marriages,
OF otherwise of encouraging or con-
tloning polygamy, it is scarcely likely
that henceforth they will be seated
in Congress. even though in their
| own cases monogamists or calibates.

Dehorning Cattle,

In u recent issue of the GlenwoOd
Post. William Forker, speaking of de-
horning cattle, says:
As an experienced cattle raiser and
shipper. find by actual experience that
the dehorBing Of cattle has become AN
actual necessity. although very cruel as
it is usually done. yet no more so than
to let them have their horns to gore and
sometimes kill one another in the sheds
or feed yards.
My reasons are these: first we find
that less shed and feed yard is required
for II bunch of cattle without horns as
they feed and lie down together like
sheep and are not constantly driving
and milling around and they cannot
hurt each other should they fight little
for pastime but are far more agreeable
than those with horns.
1T is also great advantage in ship
ping rs there can be more cattle shipped
in car and they are not 80 liable to get
down in the car and be killed
Now while it is admitted BY all cat
tie dealers to be an actual necessity.
why not adopt the most humane method
of stopping the growth of horns while
the calves are young and not allow the
horns to grow large and then saw or
crush them off with the tools now COM
monty used
by observation you viii find that in
almost all herds of cattle there are ami
mails with stubs of horns all the way
from two to six inches long and in many
instances the growth of one horn has
been stopped while the other grows
crooked stub.
But the most cruel method in use by
few is the burning of OF calves horns
with caustic potash and other acids to
stop the growth, which seldom has the
desired effect but in MANY instances puts
the calves blind. Rope a calf on the
range and apply this stuff and should
there be shower of rain sufficient to
wet this potash or acid inside of ten
days after it is applied, the water will
wash it into their eyes with the above
result. This is common occurrence in
showery climates.
"How much letter it wonld be for all
to adopt a method that will remove and
stop further growth which
can be and is being done by few of our
But in order 10 do this the
proper time AMI manner in which the
work is done must be strictly observed.
We find by careful examination that the
horns of calves are already formed at
birth. there being a little lump of
horny substance on the skin where the
horn will eventually grow if not removed
at the proper time This little scab of I
a horn is connected TO the skull bone by /
a very slender flexible ligament but in a /
very short time these ligaments enlarge \

A Truth Wen Stated.

We are very much pleased that the
press of the country is taking an inter
est in the advancement of the grange.
We recognize that it is one Of the most
powerful auxiliaries in our land, and
we trust that the same pleasant re
lationship that now exists between it
and the Order may be maintained. Or
ganiZation is the watchword of the
hour, and if the grange keeps pace
with those engaged in other pursuits
there must be close affinity between
it and the press. The grange is the
only farmers organization that has its
connecting links from ocean to ocean
and from the gulf to the great lakes.
1t will continue to grow and prosper
so long as secularism and partisanship
shall be kept outside its gates.-E p.

Music In the Grange.

The originators of the grange in pre-
pairing the manual wisely gave a place
for music, remarks Mrs. Saunders, lee
turer of the Michigan state grange.
It's use not only cnlivens the degree
work, but it emphasizes i'll a way the
power of grange friendship and inn
presses the many lessons taught on
the mind of the members with a great
err significance The candidate who
listens for the first time to the sing
ing by the whole grange of the beau
tiful song, BE Faithful, 0 Patron
cannot fail to be imbued with the
soemnity of the occasion. And, again,
III the singing and exemplifying of the
Patrons Chain,7 as given in The
fourth degree, who has not felt Il deep
err thrill of love and loyalty to the Or
der as they, with united hands, sing IN
love, in truth, in charity, the pledge
you gave us now?'
But it is not only i'll the degree work
that music has its place-the opening
and closing ceremony is beautified by
the song. Everywhere in the work of
the grange music has its place, and the
grange that fails to use the song and
march wherever the ritual provides for
it is dcpriving itself of great saving
power in grange work.

GRANGE IDEALS.

-sEoman's Province In the Work of
the Order.
Upon one of the great towers of the
Triumphal bridge at the Pan-American
exhibition l saw this inscription: "A
republic exists only in the integrity
and education of its citizens This
motto could well be placed in con-
spicuous place in every grange hall.
for never was there expressed more
comprehensive and yet so briefly the
very essence of grange thought and
grange aspirations. sA order that
strives for and whose 5 teaching
is toward the improveirelg is mein-
bers is worthy the afteAej3a of every
person who has desire for the good
of his country and the perpetuity Of
the republic we are so proud to call our
own
That it's teachings and associations
tend to integrity and improved moral
atmosphere is evidenced by the large
and important place that is SO ably and
sacredly filed by woman in our Order
Her presence is a standing and force
fui protest against Nulgarlly, HlIeln-
perance and all evils that are likely
to receive encouragement in congrega-
tons of men. The placing of woman
upon an exact equality with man DEM
onstrates the fact that the grange rec
ognizes justice and is willing that
the world should know that true pub
lie integrity demands the thought, the
patriotism, the high ideals, of all its
citizens be they male or female.
In education the grange gives the
most of every session to work and adj
vancement in this line, and that grange
does the most for itself, its members
and the community which gives the
most thought and extends the greatest
effort along educational lines.-Secre-
