PARTISAN
Curious Inconsistency Of Leaders Of
National Grange.

An interview sent out from Concord,
New Hampshire, in which N. ]. Bach
elder. Master of the National Grange,
gives the credit to that organization
for the defeat of the ship subsidy bill.
There is no doubt the members Of the
Grange in most states are entitled to
credit for their opposition to SUBJ
sides, but in electing representatives
in congress and members of the legis-
latures, who elect United States sena-
tors, their votes do not appear to have
counted. All the members of con-
gress from New Hampshire voted for
ship-subsidy and either Gov. Bacheld-
er and the Grange must have very lit
tie influence in the politics of that
state or their Republican partisanship
must have closed their eyes to the
trust and corporation ~propensities Of
the candidates they elected.
1t is rather a singular fact that in,
those states where the Grange is,
strongest, the vote of the congress
men representing them was almost
unanimous for ship-subsidy. For I'M
stance, all the congressional delega-l
ton present from Maine voted for
subsidy, all but one from Massachu-
sets; all from Washington; all from
Pennsylvania and all but n from
New York, and these states are the
strongholds of the Grange.
The trouble with the Grange is it
is run by a set of Republican politi-
clans and has therefore become a par
tisan adjunct of the Republican party,
who pretend to be non-partisan and
as the subsidy bill was championed
by the administration and was a par.
ty measure, those members of con-
gress who represented districts where
the Grange is a powerful influence
amongst the farmers, voted with their
party instead of for the interest of
the farmers. There is nothing sur
prising in this for Republican politi-
clans usually do it especially when
the special interest is offering to put
up money for election and other ex-
penses, as the subsidy managers did.
How different was the attitude Of
congressman from those states where
those other farmer organizations, the
Society of Equity and the Farmers
Union are strong and influential.
From Illinois eight Republican con-
gressmen voted against the subsidy
bill; from Indiana four; from Kansas
three; from Michigan three; from
Minnesota four; from Nebraska three;
from North Dakota two; from Ohio
four; and from Wisconsin five.
All the southwestern and southern
states where the Farmers Unions are
most numerous voted solidly. against
the subsidy bill. How can Gov. Bach
elder and the Grange leaders explain
their inability to influence their repre-
sentatives in congress to vote for
what they declare they stand for?

er's Gulch on Saturday night. All
Paradise was invited, and most Of
it accepted. Jernigan, Windy.
Billy Earle, Pap Johnson and others
tried to prevail on Runty to join them,
but the marshars conception of his
duty would not permit him to leave
his post.
As nearly everyone that had the
evening free was expected to attend
the dance, Runty's self-appointed
guardians could see no risk in leav-
ing him uncared for that n night,
and it was so decided.
At ten o'clock that Saturday night,
while all was peacefully quiet in Par
adise, four men, masked and heavily
armed, rode into town from the Tue
son trail. In silence they passed
through the deserted streets to where
the lights from Three-Fingered Pete's
saloon and gambling house shone
across the darkened thoroughfare.
Noiselessly dismounting, they hitch
ed their ponies, readjusted their
masks, and surveyed the room from
their concealment in the outer shad'
ow. Pete's bartender, Dutch Henry,
the sole occupant, was doing in a
chair at the end of the bar. With ono
swift stride he who acted as leader
of the outlaws was in the saloon, q
"A in each hand covering Dutch.
Hands up" short and sharp.
A glance toward the door, an almost
involuntary movement of the hand
toward the gun under the bar, a
sharp report, and Dutch Henry had
/ paid the debt of indiscretion. The out.
laws fastened to a small safe in the
corner of the room where Pete kept
his bank roll" Finding it locked,
the leader gave quick and decisive or
ders.
Jake, knock that knob off with the
hammer. Squint, get out your brace
and bit. Here's the dynamite. Jerry,
go outside and watch. There may be
some one left in this cursed town
after all"
There was. The words were scarce
ly spoken when Marshall Smithers
stepped into the saloon. Even his de
fective vision could not mistake the
visible evidences of crime. Hating
inside the door, he said:
Men, c-c-come with me-"
At the sound of his voice the leader

Our Pacific Failure

The Republican boast that the Pa
cifc ocean was to be annexed" and
dominated by the United States seems
doomed to failure. Instead of gaining
power on the Pacific we are losing it
as far as ships and commerce are con-
cerned and our friends, the Japanese,
are fact o~utstripping us. AS long as
our antiquated navigation laws and
our high tariff to prohibit trade is al
lowed to remain on the statute books
we can expect nothing different. Our
enormous trade on the Atlantic is
nearly all in the hands of foreigners
and is great in spite of the trade obsta-
cles We have so foolishly placed in its
path. With free ships and free men
and anyone allowed to buy ships where
he could get them the cheapest and
the tariff reformed so as to encourage
trade, we would oon resume our old
supremacy on both the oceans as II
was when the Democrats were run

Child labor inquiry.

There is no escape from the fact
that the child labor question must be
settled by the states, for constitu-
tionally it cannot be included as com.
ing under Interstate commerce. The
judiciary committee Of the house OF
representatives reported unanimously
against the bill to so control 1t, but
the house appropriated $150,O00 for the
census bureau to Investigate and re-
port on child labor, which it is hoped
will soon give the actual facts of this
traffic in human flesh and blood, Hon.
John Sharp Williams, the Democratic
leader said:
1T is true that this is a social prob.
lem, a problem of suffering, and q
problem to some extent OF murder, and
Of something worse than that, because
it not only kills the little child that is
working at an unripe and immature
age intellectually and physically, but
It renders those children unfit to be
come progenitors Of the next genera
ton. Everybody wants an impartia

fired-and missed. Runty had never
been shot at before, His sand-found-
ed confidence fled in a flash. His
face turned ashen gray as his soul
was suddenly stepped in the agony
of physical fear. His frame trembled
with the wild desire to turn and
flee. His lips went dry, a cold sweat
bathed his body and the horror of
| cowardice cried aloud within him.
But he walked steadily forward,
pointing to the star on his coat
lapel, and said:
Men, c-crcome with me"
The amazement that an unarmed
man, and one of such peaceful appear
! ance, should venture to challenge
them, held the outlaws spellDound for
a moment, but now, with an oath, the
leader fired again, the report of his
revolver barely preceding a fusilade
from those of his followers, and Mar
shall Runty Smithers sank to the floor,
murdered in the attempted fulillment
of his duty.
The reverberation Of the reports
had not ceased when ~ madly gallop-
ing horse was curbed to his launches

unutterable regret on his face as he
glanced at Runty, prone upon the
floor, changed to one Of berserker rage
as he faced the outlaws. No words
were spoken, no quarter was given o.:

there we're three dead safe robbers
and one with two bullet holes through
his lungs at one end of the room,
and a gallant gray-eyed fellow at the
other end with a broken arm, a bull
let in his shoulder and a hole through
his thigh. His sound arm lay over the
body of the late marshal of Paradise

BILE to have a number made over en-
tirely different designs.
On account of its extreme simplicity
shadow embroidery has become a
great favorite as a decoration for
aprons.
A very attractive little apron, the
only one of its kind L have seen, was
fashioned of pale pink batiste I'M
broidered in an encircling wreath OF
daisies done in white. The edge was
scalloped and edged with Valen-
ciennes lace.
Colored mercerized cottons are also
used on white grounds. A pretty one
was embroidered in golden-hued chry-
santhemums with green leaves. The
all-white apron, however, is some
times preferred.
French or padded embroidery makes
a very charming decoration, especially
when combined with eyelet work.
Venetian cut-out lattice work on
heavy linen makes a substantial look
ing apron, especially when the lattice
effects are taken up well into the body
of the work, or used as borders.
Something unique is an apron OF
white cotton wolfe embroidery in an
antique cross pattern. Russian drawn
work on linen and Russian cross
stitch, too, offer pleasing possibilities
for the needlewoman. +.
