THE MICHIGAN WAY.
Grange Deputies In Michigan and How
They Are Compensated.


They Are Compensated.
The compensation of the grange dep
uties in Michigan is figured on a lib
eral basis. Each grange pays the or
ganizing deputy 500, of which $15 goes
for the charter. Then by application
of a series of bounties, offered by the
state grange, if the organizing deputy
reports five oranges he receives 500 for
each, and in like increased proportion
for ten oranges he will get 500 each.
Then there Is grand prize of 500 to
any deputy who will organize and in
struct twenty-five oranges during the
year. And in order to increase their
efforts to get the full twenty-five the
deputies are given a repetition of the
prizes for the second ten oranges. So
that for twenty oranges they would
receive 1920 and for twenty-five
oranges, which would entitle them to
the grand prize of 500, they would
receive $720. The deputy must get in
his charter list a sufficient number to
warrant taking the So of the money
from the charter members for his own
services. Thus it provides a safeguard
against charter membership so small
as to make them weakllngs. 1t is esti-
mated that the charter list should not
be less than twenty-five in order to
warrant the taking of the five dollar
fee. This liberal payment Of the depu-
ties will account largely for the mark
ed increase in the number of oranges
In Michigan during the past few years.

Savannah Morning News.l

Very little is heard of Debs' party
or of Hearsts party in the South, and
yet each of them will have presi-
Dental ticket in the field Each is
working hard to attract attention and
increase its Importance in the esti-
nation of voters. Each has newspa-
per support and the doings of each
are published. Debs' party has the
support of the Age of Reason, publish
ed at Girard, Kan. The party is bet
ter known as the Socialist party, and
it is the programme to name Eu-
gene V. Debs for President and Will
liam d. Haywood for Vice President.
Debs is the man who led the great
strike of railroad employees during
the administration of President Cleve-
land and Haywood is the man who
was recently tried in Idaho on the
charge of being concerned in the as
sassination of Gov. Stuenenburg. At
that time he was secretary of the
Western Federation of Miners. He
is out of that job now. The Social
list leaders talk of making a fight that
will astonish the entire country. One
enthusiastic member of the party
says that the Socialistic ticket will
poll million of votes Probably be
will be satisfied if few less than
that number are polled
Mr.. Hearst's party is known as the
National independence League One
of its most efficient workers is John
Temple Graves, who until a few
months ago. was a resident of this
state. 1t is expected that it will poll
a large vote, though that depends
upon the tickets and platforms of
the two great parties. Mr.. Hearst
seems to have some ideals which are
not appreciated by either the Republi-
can or the Democratic party and he
is exploiting them himself He has
newspapers and is well able to hire
campaign orators. There is no good
reason, therefore, why his party
shouldn't get as much of a hearing
as it's chief desires it to have.
Mr.. Hearst doesn't expect to be
the nominee of his party for Presi-
dent. There is talk of a Massachu-
sets man for that position, manu-
facturer named Hisgen. He ran for
Governor of Massachusetts in the

ERNEST WILLIE'S" VIEWS

(Wm d. Upshaw in Golden Age.)
This spirit of dishonest oppres-
sion so widespread among the people
is easily influenced into frantic fana-
ticism in what is called railroad leg
1slatlOn We do not deny nor wish
to deny the management of the rail
roads that need to be corrected. And
we are far from charging that a dis
honest spirit is back of all corrective
legislation Such a charge would in
clude the writer of these lines, for he
believes in sane corrective legislation.
But we do declare in the name of all
that is just and honest that it is
time to call halt when a company
of legislators or commissioners de-
mand that men who have invested
their money in railroad properties
must not make more than six per
cent, on their original investment
while the very men who are ruling
on these cases are making-some 80,
some 60 and some 100 per cent on
their own private investments.
This cannot be denied-and if this
is fair and square and honest then
we have been mistaken all along as
to the meaning of these homely terms.

hands of receivers and others sys-
TENS are on the verge of financial
tragedy, being compelled to take off
many thousands of miles of train
service a day in order to keep out of
the hands of a receiver.
I'VE know one man who had made
and saved sixty thousand dollars. He
put it into railroad stock, and today
every dollar of his LITTLE fOrtI1no h &c
been hammered out by agitation, stag
nation and almost death. We know
another man who has lost over one
hundred thousand dollars by shrink
age of values. With his hard earned
fortune gone he stands with empty
hands trying in these troublesome
times to maintain his actual living
expenses.
1--WE can think of no other means
so horrible for system of political
propaganda that dries up the saw
ings of lifetime in a few frenzied
months"

We Have No Time for Song
Chicago Record-Herald.)

Ye shall have a song and gladness
of heart.-Isaiah xxx. "a.
We have no time to lag along
Where fragrant blossoms blow;
We have no time to give to song,
So let the singers go;
Where Fortune calls us we must haste,
Men have once had time to waste,
But we must hurry so!
The troubadour has ceased to stray
From peaceful town to town,
Imparting gladness on his way,
To noble and to clown;
The minstreIs harp has turned to
dust,
The bard, ungrateful for crust,
Has laid his Tyre down.
With restless feet and little cheer
We strive to get along,
The weak ones burdened with their
fear
And hatred of the strong;
All maddened by the CLEAN of gold
We hurry onward, young and old,
And have no time for song.

Mi-O-Na Means Sotmach Comfort
It's of Special Value to Many Here
iii Americas.

A notable discovery, and one that
appeals especially to many people in
Americas is the combination of stom-
ach help in the Mi-o-na treatment
This preparation works wonders in
cases of indigestion or weak stom-
ach.
1t acts directly upon the walls of
the stomach and bowels, strengthen
ing and stimulating them so that they
readily take care of the food that is
eaten without distress or suffering.
So positive are the good effects fol-
lowing the use of Mona that the
remedy is sold by Dodson's Pharmacy
under an absolute guarantee to re-
fund the money if it fails to cure. A
50-cent box of Mona will do the
good the stomach needs, which is
simply to make it do it's own work.

last state election and polled large
vote. The outlook is that the Hearst
party will poll more votes than the
Debs party. The reason is that
the Hearst party is in position to
get larger campaign fund and it
has stronger newspaper support.
Neither party, however, is going to
have much of a showing in the South.
The ideals and ideas of Debs and
Hearst are not as popular in this Sec
ton as they are in some other parts
of the country, and they are not so
very popular in any part Whether
they will become more popular can
not be predicted at this time with any
degrees of certainty. There is no
doubt however, that both Debs and
Hearst are very much interested in
their respective parties and are get
ting a great deal of satisfaction out
of them and the political work in
which they are engaged.

A YALE JOKE.

They had a funny incident at Yale
College one day. Professor Silliman
was going to experiment with laugh
ing gas, when he overheard a student
say that under its influence no one
was responsible for what he said,
and he would take advantage of this
and tell Professor Silliman what he
thought OF him. When the class
met, Professor Silliman quietly said
he would like, for purposes of illus
t~ration, TO administer the gas to
some member, and the student volun-
teered. The leather bag was con-
nected with his mouth. He pre-
tended to be very much excited, and
began to abuse and swear at the pro-
fessor. Professor Silliman let him
go on awhile, and then said he
needn't be so irresponsible, the gas
hadn't been turned on yet. Only
those who have been TO college and
know how a chemistry class car APP
plaud can adequately imagine the up
roar that followed.

A SWIFT

Dean Swift was walking on the
Phoenix Road, Dublin, when a thun-
der-storm suddenly came on, and he
took shelter under a tree where a
party were sheltering also - two
young women and two young men.
One Of the girls looked very sad, till,
as the rain fell, her tears began to
flow. The Dean inquired the cause,
and learned that it was their we'd
ding day. They were on their way
to the church, and now her white
clothes were wet, and she could not
go. Never Mindful marry you"
said the Dean; and he took out his
prayer book and then and there mar
ried them, their witnesses being
present; and, to make the thing COM
plete, he tor a leaf from his pocket
book, and with his pencil wrote and
signed a certificate, which he handed
to the bride. The certificate was
worded as follows: Under a tree in
stormy weather / married this man
and woman together; let none but
Him who rules the thunder sever this
man and woman asunder.-Jonathan
Swift, Dean of St. Patrick's."
