The grange in Maine has caused
laws to be enacted increasing taxes
on steam and electric railroads, trust
companies, Pullman corporations and
express, telegraph and telephone com
panies. 1t has worked for the abOli-
ton Of the telephone monopoly law,
which has caused the organization Of

At present the state grange is en-
deavoring to have the taxes increased
on the 9O54.000 acres of unincorporat-
ed wild lands, which are of immense
value and now paying only 21a mills
on dollar on the valuation of SO per

ers' interests

WAR ON ALCOHOLISM.
German Government Concerned Ovel
the Drink Question.

German Government Concerned Over
the Drink Question.
Alcoholism is gradually forcing itself
into a prominent position among the
subjects which occupy the serious at
tentiOn of the German public 1t is
constantly being dis ssed in the press
and in public meetings, and the anti
alcoholists have grown from a small
group into a numerous and important
body, whose influence is already COM
planned of by the beer and wine pro-
ducers. The government Is particu-
larry concerned with the effect of ex-
cessive indulgence in alcohol on the
health and producing powers of the
working class, and the Reichs- Arbeits-
blatt Imperial Labor GaZettel, issued
by the imperial statistical office, pub
fishes an exhaustive statement on the
subject. After showing by statistics
provided by imperial and private sick
benefit funds that Incorporate workers
are far more frequently incapactated
through illness than are temperate
workers it points out that Il patient
who has been addicted to alcohol is
much more difficult to cure than one
who has not.
This latter fact is brought out clearly
in the report for 1004-0J of the great
municipal hospital, Am Friedrichshain.
in Berlin. The director of the DEPART
ment for internal diseases. Professor
DR.. Stadelmann. states that the COM
paratively high rate of mortality 90
per cent among cases of Inflammation
of the lungs is undoubtedly due to the
circumstance that such large number
of patients suffering from this COM
plant We're drinkers.
The great workmen's guilds have
also issued regulations prohibiting
drunken persons from being employed
in any workshop or on any building,
and six Of them forbid their members
the use of any kind Of alcoholic liquor
while they are at work. Twelve of the
guilds, moreover, forbid the employ
ment of men who are known to be
drinkers and who. owing to the nature
Of their work, would be liable soon to

/ guild. The Association of East German
lndustrlalistS has drawn UP a set Of
rules for the use of its members, the
| perYading principle of which is to as
sist the workmen in giving up the use
Of alcohol. These rules tend to raise
difficulties in the way OF the workers
obtaining alcoholic drinks, but render
it easier for them to obtain hot coffee.

THE GRANGE STORE.

Has 1t Any Claim That VIII Justify
Its establishments.
Sometimes those who are not MEM
bers of the grange ask the question if
it Is right for the grange t. start a
store and thus enter into competition
with stores already established. and, it
may be, in smaller towns to crowd out
the country store. The question is very
well answered in the New York Farm
er, which proceeds to discuss it some
what at length:
IF the farmers can, by purchasing
for themselves what they have pur-
chased for years through the store and
by selling for themselves what the
store has for years sold for them, get
their purchased supplies at lower prices
and sell their own products for better
prices there is no reason why they
should not go into cooperative buying
and selling. In cases where oranges
have bought and sold. the results have
been satisfactory, and nobody has been
deprived of any essential moral or le-
gal right.
The grange store is Il great thing
for the farming community, and farm
ers should make free use of it. 1t can
be used to cut down costs in buying
supplies and to increase profits in SELL
ing farm products. Besides this, the
management of the store by farmers
will in Il measure give the farmers Just
tlLa I.,SfD.s,l, iInoss
ell to enable them to play the part in
larger cooperative operations so nee
eSsary to give them more equitable
part of the money paid by consumers
for the produce of the farms. Middle
manism is what stands today between
the farmers and prosperity. The CON
sumers pay perhaps S12.0O0G00O0 a
year for produce that gives the farmers
less than S4.000,000,000 a year. The
great difference between these great
sums measures the great middleman
draft and graft on the agricultural in
terest of the United States Wherever
and whenever the farmers can do 50
they should reduce the draft and graft
They can do it by starting grange
stores, cooperative cheese, butter and
casein factories, cooperative milk con-
denseries, collecting and distributing
agencies for eggs, fruit, butter, cheese,
wool, meats and other produce, coop
erative elevators and flour mills and
other establishments now controlled
exclusively by middlemen who pay to
producers and take from consumers

There is bottle of champagne i'm.
ported for every nineteen persons in
The United States. Each cold bottle
requires the labor of forty three men
1t takes four and a half pounds of
grapes to manufacture It.
The consumption Of champagne has
increased 80 per cent In the United
States during the last five years until
there is now being imported 100000
quarts, about one-half of which is in
pint bottles.
The people of the United States rank
second as consumers of champagne,
the English drinking more than the
Americans. with Russia third on the
list

If there is one mission more than
another that the grange should accom-
plish. it is the improvement Of country
schools. 1t is a hopeful sign that the
grange as an organization is giving so
much thought and study to the prob
lem of education. and the closer the
grange and the school can be brought
together the better for both. There are
some things to teach in the schools be
sides multiplication tables and declen-
siOns The American school should
stand, and l believe does stand. for
character as well as scholarship The
ordinary people make the state, and
the schoolteacher should help to mold
the character of the ordinary people.
Above all else let us take more inter
est in the schools where our children
are trained. Let us cultivate the ac-
quaintance of the teachers. Let us see
to it that only teachers of ability and
strong character are employed, for 1t
must be the right character in the
teacher that inspires the right charac-
ter in the pupil.-G. \. Fuller

A FAMOUS SURGEON
 DR. MURPHY IN TOWN
4 Tour of the Southwest for Rec
 reatiOn.

Phoenix yesterday mad as a guest Dr. John B. Murphy of Chicago, one of the most prominent surgeons of the United States and distinguished for the invention of the "anastomosis but ton" an appliance for abdominal sur gery. The doctor, in company with Dr. J. E. Keefe prominent dental sur geon, also of Chicago. and a brother of pr. Keefe of this city, is making d vacation trip through the southwest and in the course of his travel stop ped in Phoenix for the purpose of wis iting Dr. R. w. Craig. who was at one time associated with him. Most of yes terday was spent in driving about the city and to different points of inter est in the surrounding country, Dr. keefe being member of the driving party.
 It is probably due to the suggestions of Dr. Murphy more than any other person that Phoenix climate has be- come famous the whole United States over, and it is likely that he has di- rectly sent more patients to this city than any ten other men in the med ical profession. His last visit here wa : made three years ago, but he had on previous occasions been in the south west and observations made at these times impressed him with the great value of Arizona climate to tuber. cular patients.
 Last evening at the Hotel AdamS Dr. Murphy talked Interestingly O., Phoenix and it's future. When Phoe.- nix has better railroad connections with the east and the west then and not till then will this city get it's jus share of the tourist travel. I dare say that the statement is not at all over drawn when I say that twenty nv* per cent of those who make the jour. ney from the east to the west would visit Phonix for at least two or threi, days if their line of travel took then through your city"
 Why has Chicago sent so few visit Ors to Phoenix this seasol, was asked Dr. Murphy?
 Well, Chicago has had a very fine winter for itself this year. At no time was the weather severe and there was practically no snowfall. However Phoenix certainly has not near the complaint to make that Florida has this past winter. Practically no wis itors from the far east were in Flori- da this year and Chicago. which us- ually sends them by the train loads, also failed to respond. Then the travel to Cuba, which formerly was by way of Florida, is now by way of New or leans"
 Since he was last in Phoenix DT. Murphy has changed very little in ap- pearance and is the same genial gen. tleman as he will be remembered by those who met him on his former visit His stay here was necessarily limited and in company with Dr. Keefe he left on this mornings train for Pasadena, where he will spend some time before returning east.
