TsmesSee's example might well
be followed by the States similarly
afflicted. A large reward for the
apprehension of the night riders and
clear proof that the power of the
State is earnestly enlisted against
them will give the victims of the
night riders heart and courage and
make them bestir themselves
against the men who have harassed
them and destroyed their property.
The hanging of the ReefOot Lake
murderers will be of great assist
ance in suppreSSing night riding
elsewhere. If all night riders are
treated as outlaws and public en-
emies with price upon their heads
and the possibility of the gallows
and Penitendary kept tefore them,
the business Of terroriziIs the coun-
tryside, destroying burning and
killing under cover Of darkness, will
lose favor even with the members
of the Society of Equity,

Don't Mail Such Letters.

Hanging on the wall in the office
of George Martin, General Agent of
the Rock Island-Frisco Lines, is a
card on which is printed: Write
Your Letter While Angry if you
Must, but Don't Mail it until the
Next Day."
That card" said Mr.. Martin to
some inQuirine friends, offers
mighty good advice. Every man
now and then, believe, feels that
he must a write q letter making
trouble about something. know /
often feel that way. When that
feeling comes over one he must get
rid Of it, and the only way to do so
is to write the letter. The writing
gets the meanneSs out of his sys-
tenn, Then it is that he'll do well
to follow the cards advice, and lay
the letter aside until the next day.
On the morrow he'll read the letter
and find it too strong. He'll be
mighty glad then he didn't mail it.
But it will have served a purpose
nevertheless l remember a young
fellow who wrote a mean letter to
his father. He and l worked in the
same office. He read me the letter
and advised him not to send it.
He was angry, though. and refused
to take the advice He sealed it
and asked me to mail it for him.
l simply dropped it in my pocket
and let it stay there till the next
day. The following morning he
came in the Office looking worried.
George he said. I wish had new
er written that letter to the old
gentleman. 1t will break his heart.
I'd give fifty dollars to get it back
l pitched it out ito him. There it
is, said. I didn't mail it because I
knew you would be sorry about it.
Well, sir tbat young fellow actually
wanted to pay fifty dollars for not
mailing that letter. That card has
some mighty good common sense
ON it." concluded Mr., Martin. - Den

STATE LECTURERS WORK.
Model System In Vogue in Massschu
setts StaIe Grange,

Mcdei System In Vogue in Massacha-
setts state Grange.
The advantages of putting grange
Wort; upon thoroughly systematic
basis, so that exactly what is being
done can be positively known and deh-
nitely recorded. Is shown IL Massa-
chusetts, where The state lecturer,
Charles NJ. Gardner OF WestEeid, has
so systematizcd the work done during
the lecture hour that at the end of the
!atr complete total can be drawn OF
%E"ctly rs the large business concern
GudE $ Off its annual balance sheet for
the inspection of its stockholders.
This result Is made possible by
carefully prepared report system
whereby every subordinate and Po-
ncna lecturer in the state sends to the
ssate lecturer once In three months
complete summary of ali lecture hour
work III thaC grange, how many people
helped do it and how many persons
attended the meetings. At the end of
the year the entire work Of each
grange in the state is summarized and
shown on 4 large chart that is eN
h,litc1 at he annual state meeting.
By this system the astounding fact
was brought out Of last years work
that over 40 COO persons had contribut-
cd something to the lecture hour pro-
cramlues il Massachusetts and that
the t0ral grange audience of the year
was 2t5,000 persons.
This system affords more than
Of r ~
means of comparison one year with an
other. it furnishes every three months
y correct idea Of how each CranGe is
gettia>r along, whether holding its own
o. Hui; it also gives the local lecturer
added reason for urging his members
10 do their best in order that that
grange SHAH make the best possible
showing on the years chart at the
State meeting. 4 record Is also kept
of the leading topics discussed during
the year, and this also is presented tc
tha state meeting 10 show along what
lines grange thought is being especial
IL Iii: q ted while the distinct grange
efforts III behalf OF town improvement,
good citizenship, better schools and
ether matters of civic betterment are
carefully recorded.
Few people realize tue power OF the
grange organization or the influence
that il is eXcrting along such variety
Of important lines every year Such
q system as that in vogue in Massa-
chusetts, which puts inJo actual and
easily understood figures the total

GAMERS AND JOBBERS
DISAGREE OVER CONTRACT.

CINCINNATI, Feb. THE Gamers
convention in the closing session today
selected Chicago as the 1909 convention
city. and by unanimous vote declined
to accept the tentative contract on flu
lures offered on behalf of the National
Wholesale Grocers' Association. There
was no division of opinion on the con-
tract question. The packers insist upon
a prorata delivery as their only pro-
lection.
]. p. Olney, chairman of the COM
mittee to confer with the jobbers, Of
fered a contract containing the pro
rata delivery clause, and a clause on
arbitration, reading: "All disputes aris-
ing under his contract are to be ar
bitrated in the usual manner with
promptness and convenience as to
place, the decision of the arbitrators
to be final and binding, the aggrieved.
party to be entitled to such equitable
damages as may be shown to have been
sustained. The cost of arbitration is
to be paid by the party against whom
the decision is rendered"

TRANSATLANTIC S. S. RATE
WAR AT LAST ENDED.

LONDON, Feb, 1.-THE conference Of
the representatives of the Atlantic
steamship lines engaged In the passen-
ger traffic came to a Conclusion yester-
day, and although none Of the dele
gates will discuss the decisions or even
admit that an agreement vas reached,
1t is understood that a complete under
standing has been arrived at. This is
partly confirmed by the fact that a
committee Of the conference is at work
this evening, presumably drawing up
the agreement, and the announcement
was made to the press that an official
statement will be issued tomorrow.
In shipping circles it is believed that
the agreement includes an arrangement
to put a stop to the cutting of rates,
another to maintain passenger rates
of all classes. and possibly the pooling
of all steerage business, as is now done
by the German lines. The steerage
business has been the chief cause OF
trouble between the companies repre-
sented at the conference, it having
been diflcult to decide what differen-
tials should be allowed as between the
companies taking passengers direct
from the continent and the companies
that have had first to transport theil
passengers from England to the con.
tinent.

SEES BIG FUTURE
IN THE MEADOWS
By. RECLAMATION
Samuel WorthingtOn, of Kearny,
Addresses West Hudson
Board of Trade.

Samuel Worthington, of Kearny,
chairman of the reclamation committee
of the West Hudson County Board Of
Trade, at a meeting of that body last
night at Riordan's Hall, Harrison, sug-
gested that members of the board make
a trip through the Kearny and Har-
rison meadows next Thursday after
land over and becoming familiar with
the swamps.
Mr.. Worthington referred to the bill
which has been introduced by United
States Senator John Kean, of New Jer-
sely, for the deepening of the Hack
ensack River, and said that when that
stream is deepened, which it is almost
sure to be. it will be a great advantage
to Kearny. He further alluded to the
deepening of the Passaic River and
pictured what a difference there will
be when the Passaic is made deeper.
Mr.. Worthington told the members
how, at one time. the Kearny meadows
was a dense forest, and his talk proved
interesting.
Julius HoeXter, Thaddeus ]. Knapp,
Louis Hartung, George Gross and DIR.
Frank E. Thornley, were elected mem
bers of the board.
The Rev. Roland S. Dawson, pastor
of the Knox Presbyterian Church,
Kearny, chairman of the municipal af-
fairs committee, urged that the chair
men of the different committees get
together at an early date and take up
matters which have been referred to
them.

NEW FEATURES To
HOUSE COMMITTEE
CURRENCY BILL
New Idea to Drop Railroad
Bonds as Security for
Collateral.
Especial to the Evening star.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. More infor-
nation was Forthcoming yesterday re-
specting the lines that will be fol-
lowed by the House banking and cur
rency committee in drafting the bill
to be reported to the House, although
the precise details have not been alto
gether fixed. The main ideas that will
be Incorporated into the bill are two
in number-one intended to concede
something to the Aldrich crowd, the
other intended to accept the essential
principle of credit currency.
In conformity with the first of these
ideas, it will be required that the Sc
curity which is to back up the bank
notes be deposited with the Secretary
of the Treasury under special trust ar
engagements. In conformity with the
second, it is proposed to permit the
depositing of selected commercial
paper, preferably ordinary two-name
paper, with the treasury as security
behind credit notes. The security to
be allowed will probably include not
only the paper thus spoken of, but also
bonds of selected kinds.
The idea is to drop off the railroad
bonds entirely and to confine the
classes of bonds that may be put up to
State, municipal, county and other pub
lie issues of approved kinds. The de-
posting of these securities will, how
ever, be permissive entirely and there
will be nothing compulsory in the prop
osition.
The object will be to give to every
bank, wherever situated, an oppor-
tunity to use such collateral for secur-
ing its notes as it can best get in the
course Of it's business without requiring
it to invest in bonds or other securities
which do not come in its way in the
natural course of business. The de-
posting of the security with the treas
ury is intended to guarantee the exist
ence of a good class Of specially ag-
gregated assets behind the notes
Banks will, according to present plans
be required to indorse the paper, thus
becoming responsible in the fullest de-
gree for the obligation. Then the de.
partment will take the security and viii
issue the notes in exchange.
