Dancing at Grange Meetings.

A New York paper has recently
called attention to that which it be-
lieved to be a fact and which was not
namely, that State Master Stetson OF
Maine had issued ban against dane
ing in grange halls. which seemed to
forbid dancing at any and all times
whether preceding, during or after the
session of the grange and, indeed, on
every other evening in the week. Mr..
Stetson's attention being called to the
statement in the paper, he denied he had
promulgated any such order. He said
he was following the rulings of his
predecessors, which allowed no dancing
during the grange session. Mr.. Stet-
son says that he does not own the
grange halls, and he does not claim the
right to say what they shall be used
for the other five nights in the week.

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, FROM HIS LATEST PICTURE

He had ambitions toward the supreme
bench, and there were eminent men
who predicted that Taft some day
would sit in that tribunal.
In 1898 the war with Spain threw
into American possession the Philip
pine Islands. President Mckinley and
his cabinet passed anxious hours In
discussion Of the problem What shall
we do with the PhilippinesY When
finally 1t was determined to create a
commission to organize civil govern
ment In the islands, then In revolt and
under military rule, the president look
ed about for a man big and broad and
deep enough to hold the craftsmanship
Of that body. big Bill" Taft of his
own state was recommended as the
very man for the place. Judge Taft
was called to Washington. He frank
y told the president that he had not
been In favor of acquiring the islands
In the first place. Notwithstanding
this, Judge Taft was deemed the best
available man to undertake the admin
stration of the islands. He accepted
appointment to the craftsmanship of
the Philippine commission as a mat
ter of public duty and proceeded to
Manila with his family.
Thus In 1900 William II. Taft be-
eame an international figure. Speak
Ing almost literally, the eyes of the
world were upon him. 1t deYolved up
On him to administer the affairs of a
turbulent archipelago but lately re-
leased from centuries of despotic mis-
rule and still struggling violently
against the manifest destiny of Amer
ean guardianship. No other American
statesman ever was called upon to
undertake like task. How well
Judge Taft fulfilled his mission is in
dicated by the present situation in the
Islands. After bringing about a SEM
blance of civic organization Taft was
appointed civil governor of the Phil
ippines. He remained four years in
the Islands. When finally he returned
to the United States to become score
tary of war in the Roosevelt cabinet
he had nodded form out of chaos and
had given the Filipinos a running start
toward ultimate self government of
the most approved American brand.
Before departing Cor the Philippines
Judge Taft had said at a dinner that

PENNSYLVANIA GRANGE.
A Committee Visits Washington to Sc

cure a Change In the Oleo Laws.
In accordance with the Instructions
from the last state grange a commit
tee consisting of State Master Hill,
State Lecturer Dorset and others went
to Washington last month for the pur-
pose of laying before the members Of
congress and department officials the
desires of the Pennsylvania state
grange with reference to legislation
for better protection Of the dairy in
terests. The department of agricul-
ture of Pennsylvania was also repre-
scented by committee. They had
spirited and interesting hearing for an
hour and a half before the house COM
mittee on agriculture. after which they
waited on Senators Knox and Penrose,
both of whom assured the committee
of their willingness and desire to do
what they could to protect the interests
of legitimate dairying Later they call
ed upon Secretary of Agriculture VIII
son, Secretary of Treasury Cortelyou,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Capers and Or. Wiley, chief chemist.
From these gentlemen they secured
much valuable information. One Of the
members of the committee exhibited to
the internal revenue officials number
Of samples of butter as yellow as June
butter, but which had paid but one
fourth of a cent taxes. These officials
alluded to the difficulties they eXpe-
rience in collecting the proper amount
Of taxes and in suppressing violations
of the law. The fact was unearthed
that the government does not have rev.
enue collectors stationed at the licensed
cleo manufactures. This matter was
also brought to the attention of the
congressman. and it is not improbable
dy this defect in the laws.

also he is a big man. The salient facts
in his career prove this.
Unlike most men of presidential as
pirations, Mr.. Taft never knew what
ut was to be poor. He was not born
rich, but he was born well to do. There

Grant and afterward was minister to
Austria and to Russia.
William II. Taft was born In Cincin-
natl Sept 10, 1857. He grew ND in his
native city and was prepared for col
lege in the local schools. His mother
was highly educated woman. 1t is

children should receive the best scho-

The grange is an organization whose
chief aim is to work for the improve
ment of conditions which will benefit
its members and in so doing must be
n benefit to those outside of the Order.
1t is a benefit financially from the fact
that the grange as body is able to
purchase various articles at cheaper
rates, and this naturally creates com
petition in prices which benefits others.
The discussions on the various topics
in which farmers are interested which
are brought up in the meetings help to
enlighten and educate us. and in that
as in all other lines of education the
better Informed we are the better able
are we to help those with whom we
come in contact. so in our intercourse
with others they would reap some of
the benefits thus derived
When the grange brings its influence
to bear upon the making or defeating
of a law or laws which would benefit
its members it cannot be otherwise
than a benefit to farmers outside of the
Order. AS every one needs some rec
reation and entertainment, so the
grange is Il benefit to outsiders social
ly by furnishing some entertainments
to which they are made welcome. The
words, acts and deeds of all men and
all nations have an influence for good
or i'll upon those with whom they min
gle. SO it must be with all organiza-
lions. They cannot be SO exclusive
that their influence will not reach be-
yond their own members, and with
that fact ever before us the grange
should try to maintain a high standard
of usefulness in the community where
it exists. MRS. Z. r. COLLINS.
