L. What part II any Of a Pomona
grange meeting should be in open form?
The Pomona grange in an essential
sense is a travelling missionary. When
the Pomona meets with a subordinate
grange, it is for the purpose of helping
1t in all ways possible. A Pomona
grange meeting is a failure if it does
not strengthen the grange cause in that
particular part of the county where
the meeting is held. The programmes
of all Pomona grange meetings should
be thoughtfully and specially planned
to turn the thoughts of all listeners to
the necessities of organization and the
ideal plan and formation of the grange.
Then we can easily conclude that to
fulfill its mission in strengthening the
subordinate grange and the Order at
large the Pomona grange must have
the public ear Pomona grange meet
ings during the programme should be
open to the public, and strong men and
women of the Order should be put to
the front as speakers and writer's.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
State Master Horton of Michigan Re-
plies to Questions.


plies to Questions.
/. How can a member suspended for
nonpayment OF dues be restored to men,
bership within period of two years from
date of suspension?
In grange procedure, there must be
some time specified to distinguish the
difference between n member entitled
to reinstatement at reduced rate or
fee and one who is not. No member
sOuld be encouraged in playing first
fast and then n loose game with his
grange. To meet the requirements of
the case and to fully protect the rights
of all steadfast paying members, two
years of nonaffiliation is fixed upon in
Mich gan as the term before q member
is entitled to reinstatement at the 81 20
minimum, as provided by law There
fore a suspended member applying for
reinstatement, If he seeks to rein
state himself, must pay the full
amount of dues necessary to satisfy
his account with the grange from the
time of his last payment up to date of
reinstatement In either case other
than reinstating himself he must make
due application, and a majority vote
will reinstate.
2 Should a master declare the office
vacant and order an election to i'll such
vacancy II lecturer is continuously alb
sent from the grange and does not pre-
pare programmes?
While any elected and installed of
fcer of a subordinate grange should
be given all reasonable consideration
because Of absence from meetings and
failure to perform prescribed duties,
I 1t is nevertheless for the good of the
Order that deliberate and continued
absence and nonperformance of duty
should be noticed by the grange. On
the grounds that the power that gave
can also take away for just cause a
grange may declare an office vacant
after a fair hearing and proceed to
elect and install a successor; this,
however, with the exception of the
master, who is amenable to the state
grange only.
| g. Should a secretary be rigidly held tc
| the presentation to the grange Of all cir
culars received which pertain to the
grange work in any form?
ne ltSulul Olltl VI uuNlltSS, ar
placed in the ritual, provides for the
noticing of communications from the
state and national oranges. Because
of this provision 1t must be concluded
that all communications from those
sources must be presented to the
grange. This presentation may be by
mere announcement. If any doubt ex
lists with the secretary as TO the impor
lance of the document, and then le
the grange Itself order Il reading il
full If, from the nature Of the com
munication, it seems necessary. Re
garding communications from all othe
sources, no obligation is placed upoI
the secretary to present or even t.
notice. Good judgment should be useC
by the secretary In looking over thu
mass Of unofficial communications re
ceived. to the end that matters of NJ
particular interest and Interior propo
sitions may not consume valuable TIM
at grange meetings.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 80, 1907.

A correspondent, in enclosing the fol-
lowing article on automobiles, writes:
Hyde Park, VT, August 26, 1907.
Mr.. Joseph Battel:
Dear Sir: Enclosed herewith find
short article concerning automobiles that
may possibly interest you.
| presume that you are keeping an eye
on the State papers and note the tone OF
their editorial comment on the autOmo-
bile question, which is far from lnimlcal
to the stand that you are taking.
The Randolph Herald and the North,
field News, also the Montpelier journal
have ceased to be facetious In the matter
Did you notice the special dispatch
to the Boston Herald from Middlebury
which was published on Friday, the Odd?
You NAV also be interested to know
that The Lamoille Valley Fair Ground
Co., in issuing it's premium list makes
the following announcement; we
continue our policy of excluding auto
mobiles"
This shows that motor cars do not
meet with favor, in this region, despite
the fact that many are owned IN this
county.
For months the Register fought prac-
tically alone for the preservation of the
rights of the citizens of Vermont in con-
nection with the use of the highways by
automobiles. Its contemporaries scotfed
and their references to the Register
crusade were tinged with sarcasm and
cynicism That was year ago. Today
the State papers, evidently weary of
chronicling accounts of accidents at
home and abroad, are taking another
view of the situation and demanding
that reckless autoists be barred from the
highways and that imprisonment be the
penalty.
France and Germany, the paradise, SO
TO speak. of motorists. are rebelling
against the use of the highways by
motor vehicles. The State of New
Jersey is making the claim exactly that
the Register has repeatedly set up, that
to grant the use of the highways to
motorists is discrimination and that ii
is unconstitutional. Believing this, that
State refuses to permit the famous Van
derbilt cup race to be run in that state.
The Success Magazine in its current
issue says in writing of the dangers OF
automobile road racing, 1.-The unhtnes'
of American roads, not only for roac
racing but even for organized tours
and so-called endurance or efficiency
contests, where any considerable speed
is maintained, has been demonstrated
with sad results during the past few
months"
The magazine article says in referring
to the amended Connecticut automobile
law that the speed limit has been abol
ished in that State and "every. motor cal
driver, however, will be held strictly
accountable for accidents and injuries tt
persons and property that may result
from the reckless operation of hi
machine, and in such instances the pen
alties imposed will quite certainly b'
severe"
While the Connecticut law contains
the qualifying word RECKLESS, which
may be construed as allowing too mucl
latitude to the operator of motor car
is safe to say that the Interpretation
of the law will be that ANY damag
resulting to persons or property by tn
operation of an automobile upon tn
highways of that State will make tn
operator or owner of such a car liable t
the penalty prescribed.
