BY Associated Press.
TOXIC, Sept. 3O.-Secretary Taft in his
speech at the municipal dinner given In
his honor tonight denied emphatically
the reports that the relations between
the United States and Japan were at any
time strained.
This developed as a result of the publi-
cation in, the Asabi of special dispatch
from London asserting on high author
ity that the Washington statesmen are
stirred of the reotorlng attitude of jap
anese officialdom, hence the dispatch of
the American battleship fleet to the Pa-
cific and the changed tone of the jap
anese since the orders were issued"
In view of the extremely friendly at
titude of the Japanese toward Mr.. Taft
the publication of the dispatch caused
uneasiness and surprise here. The Jap
anese newspapers sent representatives
to Mr.. Taft, who Immediately said he
would give reply in his speech tonight.

A LEGAL QUESTION.
Can a Pomona Grange Build and OPP
crate a Telephone System?

A writer in the Pennsylvania Grange
News. the official organ of the Order
in Pennsylvania. wants to know if it
is competent for a Pomona grange
under its charter, to build a telephone
system and operate it within its juris-
diction, the county.
Answering this question an attorney
at law says that it is perfectly COM
petent for Pomona grange to go
into the telephone or any other bust
ness it chooses. unless by so doing
1t should violate the laws of the Pa
irons of Husbandry. and thus get it
into trouble with that Order. The
laws of the state would not interfere
with it, Any man or association of
men or women may enter into legiti-
mate business for profit or otherwise,
and may call themselves a grange or
anything they wish. In such a case,
and where there is no Incorporation,
the association would be subject to all
the rules governing a partnership, and
all the members of the association. or
partnership. would be liable personally
for any debts of the partnership. In
corporation would reduce this personal
liability to the amount of the capital
stock held by each individual For
this reason ii is desirable to incorporate
whenever it is proposed to enter into
a profitable occupation, for thereby
the members could not he held re-
sponsible for the debts of the corpora
ton, as is the case with members of
an unincorporated business association.
Such a corporation would come UNI
der the class of those for profit, and
the charter would have to he issued 10y
the state, and | would regard the serv-
ices of an attorney as absolutely neces-
sary, in order that so important trans
action be without error

The question occasionally arises In
grange communities as To what the
position of the grange is concerning
temperance. 1t may he said that a
cardinal principle of the grange is to
avoid all intemperance in eating, drink
Ing and language, We believe it should
be within the provision of every
grange to give its active support to-
ward any movement for the enforce
ment of existing laws against drunken
ness. At the last meeting of the ma
tonal grange the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That the grange hereby re-
news Its fealty to temperance In all
things; that II emphasizes its belief that
the degrading American saloon ought to
be carefully and vigorously guarded until
II can be abolished and in the meantime
be made and held TO a strict responsible
~ for the harm II does and that II be-
neVes that every community should be
empowered by law to vote every saloon
from its midst or It's borders.
