UNIFORM PUBLICITY NEEDED.

It is certain that the coming presi- dential campaign will not develop any very serious controversy between the two great parties on the question of campaign publicity. With hoth the democrats and the republicans falling over each other, in their mad rush to make themselves solid with the public as favoring such publicity, there seems little room for doubt that pub licity will be forthcoming with both of them. MT. Bryan's very decided stand on the question has even tenn pered the gale of invective that has blown against him from the editorial rooms of the New York World. This Is a tremendous stride forward from the days of Brice and Whitney, of Hanna and Cortelyou," says that pa per, "and the nation Is to be congrat- ulated, It is the greatest victory won in years for honest elections"
 At the present writing, the two par ties have some salient differences as to their adopted policies on the pub licity question Where the democrats promise to bind themselves morally to make an accounting before election of all moneys received in excess of S100, the republicans have already taken steps to bind themselves legal " under the law of the state of New York, by selecting New York city as their national headquarters, to make an accounting after election of all moneys received and spent Both plans have their advantages. It would seem that the best scheme might be that which combined the good points of each. But, even with the plans, as at present outlined, put into effect, the result cannot be other than for cleaner campaigns, not only this year, but in all subsequent national elec- tons. Once this step is taken neither party can retract.
 It would be better if there were some sort of uniformity between the parties in the matter. In their great zeal to make the best of what they believe Is an advantage to them, namely, the failure of the republican party to adopt campaign publicity plank, as did the democrats, Mir. Bryan and MT. Kern have got their heads together and worked out the puml1city plan in great detail we have tried to cover every point" they say.

SAYINGS AND DOINGS.

England has about lS,ooo square miles of coal fields,

The Grange stands for Postal Say
ings Banks, for Parcels Post extern
sion, and for steady Improvement IN
the postal service until the American
system shall be the best, instead OF, as
now, one of the poorest, among the
leading nations of the world. Just
think of it, Anyone here, or in any
part of this country, can send par
eel to Europe at cents per pound
less than they mail it to their fellow
countrymen, and the limit of the size
of the parcel to an American is four
pounds, whereas you may send an
eleven-pound package to Europe.
Is that the square DEAF? Contrast
the attitude Of the Grange with that
of those who, for the sake of fancled
personal advantage, would deny this
simple application of the square
deal"
The Grange stands for equality OF
taxation, and appeals to every thought
full citizen to earnestly and seriously
consider this important question. We
are the victims of many oppressive
taxes which foster monopoly. TWO
years ago this State Grange took up
the matter in this state, and the pres
ent favorable situation is unquestlon-
ably due to Grange activity. The sub
ject is of special importance now, as
a vote is to be taken in November on
a proposed amendment to the consti-
tuition of our state, which, If adopted,
will permit the legislature to make
such changes in the tax laws as may
from time to time seem wise, in or

ution of the tax burden. and to en-

Immediately taken in hand, it will be
too late. If anyone doubts the truth
of this, let him compare the condi-
tons in states where the forests have
been entirely destroyed. The Grange
appeals to all to give their support to
all efforts that will ensure the rich and
abundant blessing that will attend the
preservation of our forests.
The Grange stands for the right of
every community to control it's own
affairs and for the emancipation of
the people from the thraldom of mo-
mon good.
Farm homes are brighter and farm
life easier, farm schools and colleges
better and farmers more prosperous
because of the Grange effort. But
these matters belong to the Grange it
self, and it is not fitting in meeting
nopolistic control and centralized pow
er, and if there is any great public
question it has overlooked, l say to
you, give it the facts, and if they stand
the application of the test that they
are for the public good, that question
will be taken up by our legislators on
it's merits, it will be campaign issue,
and carried through with force of pub
lie opinion
And last, but by no means least, the
Grange stands for the union of all
forces for public good. Only in those
measures which belong to it exclu-
sively as an organization, and that are

courage industry. And we appeal to
all citizens to aid in securing the adop-
ton of this amendment.
The Grange stands for the abolition
of the saloon as a power in politics
and is graphing with the great drink
problem with a determination to set
tie it and settle it right for all time.
Local option, prohibition, state and
federal confectionery suggested solu-
TOMS being critically examined, and
the success or failure of various eff
forts investigated, and l am confident
that through Grange efforts the coun-
try will soon have this great evil I'M
der complete and permanent control.
The Grange stands for preservation
of natural resources, our mines, our
forests, our waterfalls-and especially
does it plead for forest protection. The
people of Washington must awaken
to the Importance of taking hold and
graphing with this problem now. No
greater calamity could befall our great
state than that we should be guilty of
the incredible folly of the older states
in permitting the destruction of our
magnificent forests, and yet, if the mat

reckless, wantOn destruction of tim

first place. Until then, distribution
must be our chief concern"
The Grange stands for equality in
transportation rights and the elimina-
ton of the railroad as political fac
tor. 1t is determined that the farmer
and the people generally shall have
square deal. 1t will not tolerate con-
ditions that discriminate against any
interior point in favor of the larger
terminal cities, or which give the larg-
er shipper any advantages over the
smaller. Equal rights to all, special
privileges to none, is fundamental
principle of our Order, and the rail-
roads will be corrupting and disrupt
ing influence in our great Republic I'M
til this principle is made fundamental
in their operation. The Grange stands
for absolute freedom in ocean trans
portation. For half a century we have
tried the plan of protection and the
granting of special privileges, with the
result that everything is monopolized.
Now let us try freedom. Instead OF
creating another special privilege by
the granting of ship subsidies, let us
abolish the special privileges we have.
Then we can have, not only free ships,
but free industries. free men and a
free country.

In conclusion, let me speak to you,
not as Patrons, nor even as neighbors,
nor as citizens of this great country,
but as members of the universal broth
erhood of humanity in the words of
great Grange leader, Mortimer White
head, for many years lecturer of the
National Grange, who is working ear
nestly and faithfully for this great
end. Listen to his inspiring words:
"Our Order has been power through
out the land. The time has come
when the Patron is head and his word
and counsel considered in legislative
halls let us, an unbroken band of
brothers and sistes, lend our aid in
this great and noble cause of peace,
than which none greater can claim our
labor and our prayers. Let us join
the ranks of those in other walks of
life who are strong, for this great
end' let us add this one more bright
jewel to the crown of our Order, and
then coming generations will bless the
name of the Grange not only as CIV
ing to the workers of the soil, but as
being among the foremost to usher
in the blessed day, when peace, in
deed, shall reign upon the EARTH"

for the benefit of it's members only,
does it stand alone. The Grange has
done, and is doing, a great work for
its membership, and in this field of
effort its achievements are even great
er than its achievements for the COM
devoted to celebrating the larger life
of the Nation that they be given any
further mention than to let it be seen
how earnestly and how successfully
the farmers of the Grange are cooper
ating among themselves for their own
betterment, while they work for that
large cooperation in public affairs
which shall include all to whom this
day has meaning and purpose, which
includes the entire Nation and even
the world.
Fellow Citizens, it is meet that we
should rejoice on this, our great Ma
tional Holiday, and it is perhaps fit
ting that martial music and lannon's
roar should have part in this grand
celebration, for we are yet in that
stage of development where might
seems at times the only power by
which right can triumph over wrong.
But it is not with martial music or
lannon's roar, leading even little chill
dren's thoughts to organize murder

days is to be celebrated, but rather
that the songs of peace, and OF the
harvest festival, and the gladstone
shout and dance of happy children
should attune our minds to the lofty
ideals to which this day belongs.
Fellow Citizens, Men and Women of
America, this day is hallowed to lib
erty, to universal brotherhood and uni
versal peace. And in this great In
land Empire, where it seems to me
the ideals of democracy have reached
the fullest expression, and where men
and women feel deeply the passion
of equality and freedom, it is most fit
ting that we should lead in celebrating
this day in a manner in keeping with
this world meaning.
Let it be to us the day in which
the lesson of peace on earth, good
will to men" sinks deep into our
hearts, a day in which the thoughts
of war are banished for less hold
day. Let us strive at least to be pio-
neers of that day,
when the war drums throb no long
er and the battle flags are furled
In the parliaments of nations, the fed
Grafton of the world"
When Nation shall not lift to
sword against nation, neither shall
they have war any more" but shall
beat their swords into ploughshares
and their spears into pruning-hooks.
