RELATION OF FOURTH DEGREE MEM

The impression is erroneous that the
national grange is not in direct and

fourth degree members of the Order.
says the national grange lecturer.
All sessions of the national grange, ex-
cept when higher degrees are being
conferred. are held in the fourth de
gree, and such members are as wei

privileges Under the constitution Of
the Order the voting privileges are re
Strictcd TO the masters and their wives

give the states most distant from the

it not for this provision, the members

1t is therefore of the greatest i'm

Since the order of the railroads
cutting off passes, which by the
way only applies to people who do
not know how to work the roads,
there has been considerable criti-
cism of the fact that the President
has to pay all his own travelling
expenses except on occasions when
heaccepts transportation from some
road, which he does not often do.
OF course all the roads are very
glad to place the best oftheir equip
ment at his disposal whenever he
will use it. But on the occasion
of his Colorado bear hunt, he paid
all Of his own travelling expenses,
though there have been runs up to
Oyster Bay when he did accept
transportation. Now Congress
proposes to place him beyond the
necessity of either paying his own
fare or accepting courtesies from
roads by making an annual appro-
priation to cover the Presidents
travelling expenses. This provis-
ision will be added to one of the
appropriation billsand will be made
ample to cover all contingencies.

IN the strictly rural districts the

will be kept in touch with each other
