Grosvenor of Ohio at Chau-
tauquas in Iowa and Illinois.
1t is no trouble to feel the public
pulse in these debates and in mingling
and talking with the people who attend
them. and they do attend by thousands.
All the signs indicate that the Demo
Gratis will elect the state ticket in Iowa,
also a legislature and from two to i've
representatives in congress. Since the
conventions have been held the curses
of the Hawkeye Republicans are not
only deep, but loud. OF course the
stand patters curse Governor Cummins
and all his works. They swear that he
and his followers stole the convention
bodily and robbed the venerable George
D. Perkins of the gubernatorial nomi-
nation. Some Republican papers and
thousands Of Republican voters have
bolted on that ground. Perhaps that
was to be expected after such a hot
contest for such large stakes. The hiss
ing of Mr.. Secretary of the Treasury
Leslie NJ. Shaw at the Republican state
convention drove the iron into the souls
of the stand patters and put them into
about the same amiableness of mind as
a she bear robbed of her cubs. The
result Of that kissing performance was
not unexpected, for, though Secretary
Shaw was both Kissed and rolled, he
has strong following among the Iowa
Republicans. But what was not ex-
pected was that thousands of tariff re-
vision Republicans should join the stand
patters in swearing at Cummins, but
that is precisely what is happening. In
fact. the tariff revision Republicans who
have followed his fortunes are rails
ing" the stand patters in the gentle
game of cursing Cummins. When they
remember how vigorously he assailed
the extortionate features of the Dingley
bill while he was delegate hunting and
when they compare those vigorous ut
terances with the weak and cowardly
tariff straddle in the Iowa platform,
made by convention which was near
ly two to one for CunImins, they bitter
ly assert that Cummins basely deserted
them and entered into compromise
Whereby he was to have the nomina-
ton for governor and the stand patters
were to have the platform. Then they
swear in such fashion as to put to blush
the army in Flanders Governor Cum
minis is betwixt the devil and the deep
blue sea. The stand patters will beat
him unless be recants his denunciation
Of the Dingley bill, and if he does re
cant the Republican tariff revisionists
will beat him. So he seems. In either
event, to be on the toboggan headed
for the shades of private life. The
stand patters hate him most cordially
declare privately that he is not Re
publican-and would gladly see him
defeated to be rid of him; but as they
can't defeat him without endangering
a majority of the congressional dele
CATION they are in a quandary as to
how to act. In the meantime the Dem
ocrats have made most excellent nomi-
nations for state and congressional
positions, are thoroughly united and
are enthusiastically working together,
for they discern a glorious victory in
November.

Elil1u Root, DipIomatist.

When the South and Central Amer
leans listened to the speech of Hon.
Elihu Root, our secretary of state, they
must have recalled Ta1leyrand's Gym
zeal saying that language is Intended
to conceal IDEAS" If the Filipinos can
find time to read his remarks, they
must laugh in their sleeves as they
load their rifles to kill another bunch
of our soldiers. Here is sample Of
Mr.. Roots eloquence beneath the
Southern Cross In magnificent out
burst he said:
We wish for no victories except those
Of peace. We wish for mo territory ex-
cept our own and no sovereignty except
over ourselves We deem the independ-
ence and rights of the smallest and weak
est member of the family of nations en-
titled to as much respect as that OF the
greatest empire. and we deem the OBJ
servance of that respect to be the chief
guarantee for the weak against the OPP
preston of the strong. We neither claim
nor desire any rights or privileges OF
power that we do not freely eoncede TO
every American republic.
We wish to increase our prosperity and
to grow in wealth and wisdom of spirit
but our conception of the true way to
accomplish this is not to pull others
down and profit by their ruin, but to
help all friends to common prosperity
and growth that we may all become
greater and stronger together.
Now, his words ought to be true, but
they are not The Filipinos every one

MICHIGAN INNOVATION.

Important Addition to the State
Grange of the Wolverine State.
That the work of the information
bureau of the Michigan state grange
is marked success is attested by
the amount of transactions through
this bureau. While the fiscal year does
not close until Nov. /. the following
figures will give some idea of the
work:
During the past year this depart
ment has sold over million acres of
real estate, 1000 head of cattle. 1000
horses, 10000 sheep, 10000 hogs and
a vast amount of poultry and eggs.
Three thousand bushels Of clover and
timothy seed were also purchased,
four carloads of potatoes were shipped
to the east. forty five carloads Of cedar
posts were purchased for patrons and
5000 pounds Of cheese sold for them,
and large transactions in binder Irvine
could have been made, but this article
and certain others on which the state
grange has contracts the bureau does
not handle.
The managers are endeavoring to
complete arrangements whereby they
can ship direct to eastern markets
hay, grain, etc There has been a
great deal of secondhand machinery
exchanged, but as to the number and
value Of these transactions definite
information is wanting.
1t would seem to be a matter Of in
terest to other state oranges to take
up a similar work. or perhaps for the
national grange to provide a national
grange bureau of information, based
on the Michigan Information bureau.
Surely there is some practical work
being done by this young offspring OF
the Michigan grange.

The COMMISSIONS was silent for a minute
and then said in a weary way:
It's the same old question, the same
old force, the same old raids, with just a
new Commissioner trying to do the best he
can"
"In the same old way?' asked a Brooklyn
reporter.

The Commissions was asked if he thought
that a captain did right who smashed a
red globe on a light in an alleged illegal
resort, as was done in a recent raid.
"Doused the glim, eh?" aughed the Com
missioner. If he did it the way it was

to confer with the Magistrates shortly and
try to reach an agreement with them as

made.

It is the purpose OF Sheriff Flaherty and
his associates TO carry on the warfare all

the overthrow Of Senstor P. H. McCarren

they have a big job on their hands, but they
are confident that they will succeed in
carving several Assembly districts.

PARISH SYSTEM
IN PROVIDENCE

Eield Secretary Rev. Edward Tallmadge
Root. OF the Federation OF Churches and
Christian Workers OF Rhode Island spoke
last night at Trinity Union Methodist
church.
After showing that the movement TO-
ward federation is not confined 10 Rhode
Island. by citing the organic union OF the
Methodist. Presbyterian and Congrega-
tional churches in Canada and the i'm
pending organization of federation in
Connecticut and that II includes many
other lines OF cooperation, the speaker de-
voted himself 10 a single phase OF fedora
tion--the cooperative parish system in
Providence
He said: THE plan has now become
familiar to Providence churches But the
immensity and difficulty OF the task have
become the more apparent. Ihe question
which must be satisfactorily answered to
secure a patient effort to realize the ideal
is this: Why is II necessary?
1T Is necessary because with present
methods we are failing TO keep pace with
the growth OF population. The New York
City Federation has gathered Stats tics
which show that neIt.Yer Protestant nor
Catholic churches are keeping pace with
the increase OF It's population, which IL
3l6 a day! How Is IL here2 A compari-
son OF the United States census OF 1900
and the state census OF 1905 with tho year
books OF two denominations, Methodist
and Congregational. for same years yields
the following resuls In the state. tho
population increased from 427 556 10 4s0. Os2
or 12k per cent. In Providence from l75.-
rn- ne % - tl
time the Congregational churches OF the
state made a net gain OF ISL. or four and
one-half per cent. In this city. they more
nearly kept pace with the population.
making an increase OF 109 per cent. The
Methodist churches OF the city. however.
made a net gain for the five years OF only
two-thirds OF one per cent. The churches
as a whole are not keeping pace with the
population!
''some have complained Of the parish
canvasses that they did not discover many
new families. But II a negative result n
an objection could we not say the same
OF all our church work, In the bght OF
these facts7 The negative result in our
church-census explains the negative re-
suits OF our church work.
''The fact Is we have reached n new
stage in the life OF our American church,
when unremitting personal work. based
on knowledge OF every family and fndi-
vidual. II tho only possible means OF
growth The field is so vast and the scat
terlng OF preference IL so great. that 4,
cannot possibly be done except by the CO.
operative plan.
''In New York, the plan has been tested
