Defalcations of trust funds are
chronicled in every paper one
picks up, but F. G. Bigelow's
looting of his own bank at Mil
YANKEE caps the climax. The
mania for gambling is RESPONSE
BILE for nearly all defalcations.
The big gamblers go to the pit
and the smaller ones to the
bucket shops. Ruin is certain
IN every instance if the victim
persists. What is needed is a
public sentiment that condemns
wheat gambling as unsparingly
as the shell game. Poker is de-
cent in comparison.

A Government Railroad

The effect of alittle

in transcontinental traffic. The

eminent ownership and opera.
ton of the Panama railroad. and
the next several years promise
to contain much experience as
an argument for or against a
more extended application of the
principle The new board of
directors consists almost entire
" of members of the Canal Com
mission. and their first act is to
set aside one and a quarter mill
lion dollars to double track and
re-equip the road.
The fact that it has been an
nounced that freight rates will
be greatly reduced excites seri-
Gus concern on the part of the
management of the various
transcontinental lines. Cheap
rates will divert a vast amount
of traffic to the isthmus, greatly
to the benefit of marine shipping.
The result expected is a reduc-
ton of rates on Pacific roads.

They Should Attend Its Meetings
When Practica bie and Submi; Res
olutiOns f;emorials to the Ma
tionaI Grange For Consideration.
The impression is erroneous that the
national grange is not in t;il'ect and
even intimate connection with the
fourth degree members of the Order,
says the national grange lecturer.
All sessions of the national grange, eX-
cept wien higher degrees are being
conferred. are held in the fourth de-
gree, and such members are as wei
come as those entitled to the voting
privileges. Under the constitution of
the Order the voting privileges are re-
stricted to the masters and their wives
OF husbands of state oranges, so as to
give the states most distant from the
place of meeting an equal voice in its
deliberations as those near by. Were
it not for this provision, the members
attending from even Il small state
where the national grange assembled
might direct the affairs of the organi-
cation in which the members in all the
states are interested.
The relations of fourth degree mem
bcrs to the national grange should be
such as 10 cause them TO take an active
interest in suggesting matters for con
Sdcration such matters being trans
mitted through their voting representa-
tives. These may he submitted in the
form of petitions, resolutions or me-
moriaiS and when introduced will be
referred to the appropriate committees.
The great strength and influence of the
national grange over the strength and
influence Of other agricultural organi-
cations claiming to he national in char
acter lie in the vast constituency
which it represents through actual
membership. The national grange is
the representative of that conStitu-
eucy, but not the constituency itself.
1t is therefore of the greatest i'm
portance that the wishes of that con
stitucncy he made known to the rep
reSentativc body. and instead of u feel
ing Of intrusion in making those wishes
known there should be Il feeling OF
icglect of duty in not making them

tiOmal grange when held within u rea-
Sonablc distance. 1t is Il familiar say
ing that members of any organization
viii go no further in its work than the
officers lead, but it may be said that the
enthusiasm of members has much to
do with the zeal and activity of otii-
GERS. The attendance of Il large mum
Ger of enthusiastic members from any
state constitutes II great incentive to
the representatives of that state, as
well as to the national grange itself
for active interest and zeal in the en-
actmeut of laws and establishment of
policies governing the organization
The active interest of the people in
promoting any movement is essential
to the activity of those in charge of the
