What IN. Grange Wants.

Ex-Governor C..J. Bell Of Vermont,
asked recently In a newspaper inter
view. What does the grange hope to
accomplish In the next few years p
said:
Among the reforms for which We
Will strive are: The parcels post, IN
many states the postal savings bank,
national aid for good roads everywhere
as one of the things very essential t.
the farmer. centralized schools in 10.
calities where conditions are favorable.
the introduction OF agricultural studies
In the public schools, not entirely for a
commercial purpose, but also for edu-
cational advantages. The grange al
ways stands for good citizenship and
as much as any organization stands for
the things which will produce 1t. lta
policy will be nonpartisan. but always
for the best Good citizenship means
much is all that need be said along
that line. The organization Is now rec.
ognized by congress and taken into
consideration on legislation affecting
farmers
"Wili the grange get all the things
for which 1t is now strivingT was
asked.
'Yes, everything. and l say this BE-
cause the things for which we stand

The Logical Outcome Of the Rural
Free Delivery Service.
The national grange will set In mo;
ton some strong forces this fall to Sc
cure the enactment of Il parcels poHt
law. 1t is going to be the hardeet
law governing the transportation IN
the mails Of small packages up to
eleven pounds or SO weight Is surely
coming In the near future. and the
grange Is going to be the important
factor in it's accomplishment, as 1t was
in regard to the rural free delivery
system. National Master Bacheldes
said In an address delivered before the
New Hampshire Retail Grocers' asso'
citation, "A cheap parcels post is, IN
fact. the logical outcome Of the rural
mail service and the one thing nsedesl
10 make it self supporting" The grange
plan provides for general parcels
post with a maximum weight limit OF
eleven pounds to cost 20 cents to any
postofiice In the United States and q
rural parcels post with the same max
imum weight, the rates to be cent for
each pound or fraction thereof and ]
cent for each additional two pounds
up to eleven pounds, and this rural
rate to be available only on any ons
rural route to and from the postOffica
to which the route belongs. This ID
probably the proposition which the ma
tional grange will ask the various state
oranges to indorse this winter

ONE THING OR MANY.
Should the Grange Limit It's Energies
to the Farmf

Dr.. George M. Twitchell quotes Gil
bert NJ Tucker as having said at
large grange rally In New York that
the grange should confine itself pretty
closely to those questions Which con-
cern the farmer as a farmer and not
undertake to discuss and settle that
great number of questions which con-
Germ others as much as they concern
the farmers He said that MIR. Tucker
cited in support of his position the
results obtained by the labor unions.
He would advise going after one thing
at time and putting the whole
strength OF the organization into it.
DR.. Twitchell then said: This is to
my mind both sound and unsound. II
Ia true that the Order must be centered
on large and far reaching problems
and that at the heart Of each and
every one must be the welfare Of the
industry, but under the complex rela-
tions cf the present the farmer ID
first of all citizen, and every question
bearing upon the home. the farm Or
the duties Of citizenship becomes vital
to him. You cannot narrow the
grange to one thing at time even
though by so doing greater influence
may be centered on problem.
what the grange needs and every
other organization wants to feel today
Is the necessity for an acute interest
In the homes, schools, churches and all
civic problems and to seek diligently
for such solution of each a. will
strengthen home life OH the farm and
insure a stronger, more positive public
sentiment along the higher lines Of liv-
ing. Against the tendency to drift
every hand must be raised, and this
tendency will be checked as active.
earnest interest is liked upon all the
questions hearing upon the farm and
farm life The growing Of crops and
disposal of the same cover problems OF
deep Significance. but towering above
those are the questions which relate
to the home and the future welfare
and worth Of its members. Here Is

+. {. SchanabaLher, who drives
the stage on the star route between
Forksville and Laporte, on Tuesday
morning narrowly escaped what
might have been a serious accident.
The heavy rains OF Monday and
Monday night had put the roads in
bad condition, but Mr.. Schanabach-
er experienced no difficulty in get
ting through in making his daily
trip until he reached Coal Run.
There the water had overfiowed the
roads causing tremendous wash
out of the road, but on account of
the muddy condition of the water
this cOnld not be seen and the driv-
er, unaware of the danger before him
drove into what he thought was
only shallow water. At the first step
into the water, however, the horses
lunged forward and were founder
in a deep hole with the water
coming into the wagon box. Mr..
Schanabacher managed to keep the
horses on their feet, and by walking
on the wagon tongue he got him
self out and then procured plank
which he laid from the road to the
wagon as means of helping sever.
al passengers from their perilous po-
sition. BY this time tro trsppers
who were camping nearby came TO
his aid but they were unable to
get the horses and wagon out OF the
water, aud found it necessary to go
to McCartney's saw mill for more
help. Eight men by h.rl work sue
ceeded in getting horses and wag
on out of the hole, and the driver
was ready to finish his trip to La
porte. Mr.. Schanabacher does not
care to go through another nerve
racking experience of this kind very
soon.

Walter Alexander, while hunting
for deer last week in the vicinity Of

does not care to have repeated, says
the Williamsport news of Dec. g..
His brother, Mack, Was one of the
party who were making the drive
and Walter had been stationed near
tree at the bottom of the runaway.
Without moments warning huge
catamount jumped from the tree
where it was concealed cato Alex
anders back. The young man lost
his gun i'm the scufile. He yelled
for help and his brother and several
other members of the party came to
his rescue. They beat the animal
with the stocks of their guns and it
crept into a crevice of some rocks
where it was finally shocked out,
together will, two other large speci-
mems of the catanount family. AL
eNander was severely scratched and
clawed, the sharp nails of the animal
making several long gashes in his
neck. The collar of hi, hunting coat
was chewed off, and the result of the
encounter might have been more
serious had not the other members
of the hunting party been near
enough to come quickly to his res

Tne meeting of the Pennsylvania
delegation in Washington on We'd
nesday evening presents Senator
Knox still more distinctively as a
Presidential candidate. II puts its
candidacy upon grOunfS which must
commend themselves to Republicans
everywhere.
Senator knoX's own calm, pene-
trating, weli-considered speech de-
fines the ideas and policies for which
he stands. He stands for the ROo-e-
veit policies. He could not do other
wise, for more than any other man
and all other men he was the Prcsi-
dents voice and hand in executing
them. Their legal expression was
born of his own deep legal studies
and convictions. He could not he
untrue to his own princip es. He
believes in the progressive develop
ment of the great measures for the
correction of corporate abuses and
wrongs. At the same time while
affirming the constitutional power
and duty to apply the remedies, he
believes in applying them within
constitutional limitations. He is
broad and comprehensive in his
principles of action, and conserva-
tive, judicial and safe in his meth
DDS.
Congressman Burke's review of
the record of Mr.. Knox as Attorney
General and Senator, with his chrO-
nological Citations of achievements,
constitutes an irresistible argument
for his nomination. No such argu-
nent can be made for any other
man as the representative of the
Presidents policies. No other man
stands in any such relation to their
origin or their execution. The Pres
ident himself has recognized no
other man as so directly concerned
with them.
Pennsylvania is fortunate in hav-
ing such candidate to present to
the Republican National Conven-
ton. No suspicion of any ulterior
purpose can attach to the presenta
ton of Mr.. KnoX's name 1t will
be recognized as no strategAcshove
for position, but a direct advance to
secure the Republican presidential
nomination for son of Pennsylva.
MIA who is not only of presidential
caliber but has shown that he COM
bines i'm himself all the usual and
many unusual qualifications for the
position.
1t is not Mr.. Knox who is seeking
the position. His State, or his party
within the State is seeking it for
him. How hearty and unanimous
this State championship as appears
at every Republican gathering at
which it properly can be expressed.
The Sibley dinner at Washington
showed very happily and clearly in
what high regard and with what
lust appreciation Mr.. Knox is view
ed by his colleagues at Washington
Those who know him best are the
most earnest champions Of his can
didacy.
