SPECIAL MEETINGS.
Members should Not BE Elected a
Such Times.

Members should Not he Elected at
Such Times.
Sometimes the question arises for
discussion in our oranges as to wheth-
er candidates can be elected at n spe-
cial meeting or not BY special we
mean meeting not on the regular
dates chosen for the meetings. 1t may
be said that If the bylaws contain no
provision to the contrary, If notice has
been given to all members Of the
grange, candidates can be elected to
membership mt special meetings; but
as Il rule, this Is not advisable. The
reason is this: a candidate who might
not be acceptable to certain members
of the grange could be balloted for and
elected in the absence of such men,
bers from the special meeting, they not
knowing that the special meeting had
been called for that purpose. If they
are absent from regular meeting, they
can raise no objection, as their absence
is their own fault Whether announce
ment made at n regular meeting of the
grange that special meeting for the
election Of candidates to membership
would be held on a given date would
be considered legal notice to the mem
bers of the grange may be an open
question. To be sure of possibly IL
legal action in this respect 1t would
be better for the secretary TO notify
the members by person or by letter
that an election of candidates for mem
bershlp would occur at special meet
ing. AS eXigencies are very rare that
would request election to membership
Mt any other than a REGULAR meeting,
we would advise that all oranges OBJ
serve the rule TO elect only at regular
meetings Country Gentleman.

GRANGE IN POLITICS.
Hut There Can he No Politics In
the Grange.

the
As regularly as come the autumn
weather and the falling leaves comes
the season for politics and politicians.
With it comes the oft repeated and al
ways denied assertion that "the grange
has gone into politics." "the grange
candidates." etc. Never would this
great national organization, which
knows no north south, east or west,
have lasted these forty years had it
been a partisan organization or lent Its
aid to parties Md to partisans, remarks
Mortimer Whitehead in American Ag
riculturist. Other farmers organiza
tions have come and gone that were
organized to make a new party or to
place its men on tickets and in Office
but the grange, as an Order true to Its
original principles and its platform, has
moved steadily onward, avoiding the
rocks upon which others have been
shipwrecked In its earliest years the
grange proclaimed to the world its
general objects Hnd clearly stated: 1--WE
emphatically and sincerely assert the
oft repeated truth taught in our organic
law that the grange, national, state or
subordinate, Is not a political or party
organization. No grange, If true to Its
obligations, can discuss partisan or Sec
tartan questions, or call political con-
ventions, or nominate candidates, or
even can discuss their merits In Its
meetings"
Yet to the watchful observer and
careful student 1t Is plainly evident
that the grange is power for good In
politics. 1t works upon higher and
broader plane than partisan politics.
for 1t brings the best members of all
parties together, educates and guides
them. and to educate is to set free.

FOURTH OF DECEMBER.
This Is the Thirty-ninth Birthday of
Our Order.

The 4th of December is observed in
grange circles as the birthday of the
Order, for on the 4th of December. 1867,
the first subordinate grange in the
world was organized and marked the
beginning OF this great organization.
1t is well for subordinate oranges ev-
erywhere to make some observance Of
this event by holding a meeting in
which the achievements of the grange
during the thirty-nine years of exist
ence may well constitute a prominent
feature 1t is an anniversary occasion
and should include some entertainment
as well as the historical features.
Some subordinate oranges have not
failed to observe this event any year
during thirty years Of existence, a
record that it would be well for other
oranges to adopt as their object in the
future.

Is Governmental.
1t has been asked why the national
grange should oppose government irri-
CATION of the arid lands of the west.
The common belief is that because of
Increased production in the west of
farm products there would be an in
creased competition for the farmers of
the east. This, however. is not the
basis of grange opposition. The irri-
cation of these lands at government
expense is based upon the principle
th;t such improvement to the lands of
tho west Is no more dcfcnsible as n
proposition than the Improvement to
lands of the east by drainage and cul-
tivation at the expense of the govern
meIt. AS national grange authority
has stated. st would be difficult to
demonstrate why the government is
more justified in distributing large
quantities of water to improve land
than it would be in removing water
from equal areas of equally valuable
land where the system had been ap-

Lolcq De Lobel in the project of the
American Trans Alaskan Siberian

ton of the bureaucracy which fought
the scheme bitterly because the nego-
tlations were conducted over their
heads is breaking down. The outlook
for favorable decision is now bright.

waste of northeastern Siberia the i'm

Of land which will be benefited The

an immediate convocation of consti-

Century Coal company at Century, n
small mining town fifty miles south of

non branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
at 4 o'clock this afternoon, cntOmbed
at least $50 miners, many of whom
are believed 10 be dead. At 6 o'clock
today fifteen men were taken from the
mine, five of whom were dead and the
rest terribly injured. A relief gang,
headed by superintendent John Ward,
entered the mine mt 6:30 y. M, but
since that time nothing can be heard
from the accident, as the telephone
wires have been put out OF commits
sion by the storms and no other means
of communication are available.
The mine Is owned by Shaw Bros,
of Baltimore. and is one of the largest
in northern West Virginia. Two hm-
dred and fifty men are employed, but
many of these came out today before
the explosion occurred.
Following the explosion relief trains
were run from Philippi and BuclShan-
non, taking physicians to the scene,
These have not returned and until they
do little In detail will be learned of the
accident.

French and Spanish officers to
Divide Up the Posts Is Scheme
Which Finds Favor.

Algeciras, Mar, 22.-Herr Won Ra-
tive at the conference on Moroccan
reforms was slightly indisposed today
and as a consequence the meeting Of
the delegates which was to have been
held today was postponed until Satur-
day next, when the Austrian police
proposition will be presented.
Ambassador White, Sir Arthur Mic
olson and Count Welsersheimb re-
spectively the American, British and
Austrian delegates, were in confer
ence during the day, but with what
result has not been made known. all
the gentlemen named maintaining the
strictest reserve. There is "A decided
impression, however, that it was very
satisfactory and confidence is felt that
the way is being paved for an early
agreement.
1t is understood that the fresh Aus
trian proposals formed the subject Of
discussion and though the nature of
the proposals has not been officially
stated, it is believed they contain a
revised suggestion for a mixed police
at all Moroccan ports including Casa
Blanca Thus, instead of French Of
ficers controlling four ports and Span
iards four others, an equal number OF
French and Spanish officers will act
together at each port. Confidence gem
orally reigns that a solution will be
attained along these lines
1t is uncertain who will take the in
itiative in placing the scheme before
the conference. Mr.. White is actively
furthering the suggestion, but it IS
possible that the necessity of his di-
rect interference before the confer
ence may not arise.
The French and Spanish delegates
do not make any direct objection tO
the plan, but allege that it will prove
inefficacious I'm practice Should the
remainder of the delegates, including
the Germans. appear determined upon
such a solution 1t is probable France
and Spain will suggest that only Tan
ger be subjected to a mixed organi-
cation, one half the other ports being
controlled by France and one half by
Spain.

the other by Mr.. Spooner. Mr. Lodge
spoke in advocacy of his amendment
looking to the enlargement of the in
ter-state commerce commission and n
doing so replied sharply to some re-
cent utterances by Commissioner
PrOuty.
Referring to an interview by the
commissioner, Mr.. Lodge spoke first
OF an utterance by Eugene Debs, ana
then said that 1t was not capable IF
doing such harm as Mr.. PrOuty's
statement
Mr.. Spooner devoted his attention
to the constitutional powers of the in
ferior courts, contending that those
courts could not be destroyed nor
their jurisdiction taken from them.
He engaged In controversy with
Mr.. Rayner over the power of con-
gress to deprive the courts of the priv
ilege of suspending the findings of tn =
Interstate commerce commission ana
the discussion closed with the usual
exchange of courtesies between Mr..
SpoOner and Mr.. Tillman.
During the day Mr.. Beveridge, IS
chairman of the committee on terri
tories, asked for the appointment Of
conferees to meet the committee of
the house on the statehood bill. Mr..
Foraker promptly objected to the Sc
lection of the senate representatives
upon the suggestion of the chairman

man did not represent the sentiment
OF the senate. The disposition of the
subject was postponed until tomorrow

SAY MIXED POLICE
IDEA is ROOSEXEIT'S

Paris, Mar 22-The suggestion of 4
mixed police at all ports, including
Casa Blanca, in which the hopes of IN
eventual solution of the Moroccan diff
fculty are founded. emanated from
President Roosevelt, according to the
Temps Algeciras correspondent, who
says.
Instead of giving to France the
sole control Of a certain number of
ports and to Spain like control Of an
equal number of ports, 1t is suggested
to appoint an equal number Of French
and Spanish officers at each port Riv-
airy or the acquisition of special
spheres of influence, II Is urged, would
thus be avoided. The suggestion is
President Roosevelt's. who considers
that such combination is most com
formabe to the principles laid down by
the conference The intention of this
proposed solution may be excellent
but it is not practical and is full of
danger"
