WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington D. c. June 26, 1905.
Teddy the first and Kaiser Bill
the second, are about the only two
peas ia the pod at the present writ
ing from the Nations Capital
Teddy has got them to agree to ac-
cept Washington as theplaceof meet
ing for the peace conference, and
his work in this direction has amaz-
ed all the diplomats Of the old world.
Why, it was plumb easy. All he
had to do was to sound the two
scrappers and get them to assent to
a note from him asking them If they
did not think that it was time to go
from labor to refreshments, and
then send them such note asking
them to be good little boys in the
interest of peace and humanity.
They were both dead willing TO
quit, and only waited for some man
to use good. old fashioned brand
ofAmericanism and straightforward
ness without all the circuml0cution
OF diplomacy Teddy did this and
he won out. On the other hand the
Kaiser is raising all sorts OF Cain
over in Europe, and the frst thing
he knows he will have strained the
patience OF the French nation TO the
breaking point and world war will
be the result. These two men just
now are in the limelight and one Of
them is being praised and the other
is being cussed, The distinguish

ment Of the negro In the State of
Maryland. Probably this statement
should be modified, for IL is literally
true that Republicans OF marked
prominence do not hesitate 10 ex.
press their sympathy with the move
ment which causes so much pain
and distress to the new Secretary OF
tins Navy, the chairman Of the Re-
publican State Committee and all the
other Republican leaders OF Mary
land. OF course, when theirexpres-
sions are for public consumption,
Republican leaders here will rave
just like the Republican leaders in
Maryland, but that is something
else. No doubt as the campaign
progresses it will be easy to induce
Republican Congressman and ora
tors from the outside to take part
and talk precisely as Mr.. Bonaparte
and Mr.. Hanna are talking. Next
winter, after the called Poe amend
ment is adopted. unquestionably
there will be lot of fiery decIama
ton in Congress in the same strain.
That will be all. The movement to
confine the suffrage to substance
aud intelligence will go on, and ii
Will, as it does, command the appro-
val everywhere. But Yesterday a
Western Republican said to me in
the presence of a number OF others.
all Of his own party, he hoped to see
the day when the negro would be
eliminated from the suffrage in every
State Of the Union. Not one ofthem
dissented. You can hear any day

The Pace That Kills.

The microbe of hurry-hurry-
useless hurry-is in the air, so much
SO in fact that it is almost impossi-
BILE for city dweller, no matter how
well balanced he may be, not to
become inoculated with it. Wine,
women and song are not the only in
fuences that go to make up the
space that kills" The average life
Of the business man or the society
woman hurries people to catastrophe
as fast as does that of the "rounder"
or ''dissipate."
Did you ever do anything on this
order-rush to your meals, rush
your play, make a fool of yourself
running half a block for a car al
ready crowded to the guards? You
plead guilty, do you? Then you are
going a pace that kills just as sure
ly as the more widely heralded pace.

WHY JOIN THE GRANGE?
A Few Reasons. Succinct1y Stated,
That Should Appeal.

A Few Reasons. Succinctly Stated,
That should Appeal.
Why should I join the grange? What
will get out of it?
You should join the grange because:
First, it is farmers organization and
you are farmer; second, organization
will give farmers greater influence in
the state and national legislatures;
third, it will bring you into contact
with the best men and women in your
profession, and such contact will pol
ish and strengthen and refine you,
fourth, it will make possible co-opera-
ton in buying supplies and in selling
products; fifth, it is a social, mental,
moral, educational institution; sixth, it
is an institution whose tenets will
make rural society better and stronger
in every way.
You will get out of it: First, just
what you put in tit is a bank in
which you deposit your influence as a
citizen, as a man or as a woman; sec
ond, little more than you put into
it. Like other banks, the grange pays
you interest on your investment. You
put in character, and you receive it
back strengthened, clarified, increased
by the characters with which it has
come into contact.
Could you desire more than this?
Would not this induce you to join the
grange?
Here and there some individuals get
the idea that as soon as they join
the grange material benefits will be
forced upon them. They are, SO they
imagine, to grow larger and better
crops and sell them at higher prices
Just how this idea reaches them it is
difficult to see, but it does reach and
govern them.-New York Farmer.
