world other than In the United States
modern system OF cheap parcels
post is an established and profitable
part of the postal service, and
Whereas, The National Grange and
farm organizations throughout the
country have for many years urged
upon the United States Congress the
urgent need of such postal reform and
have submitted abundant evidence OF
the intolerable injustice of present
conditions, and
Whereas, During the sixty-second
Congress the postmaster general sup
ported by the President OF the United
States, submitted a parcels post Dill
approved by the farmers of the coun-
try and supported the same with fuil
and complete evidence OF its justice
and urgent need, and
Whereas, The opposition to such
parcels post Legislation Is confined to
the express companies and other spe-
cial privilege interests and to those
who desire to continue antlquated
methods of MERCHANDISING,
Resolved, By the State Grange IN
36th annual convention assembled
that we demand the prompt enact
ment of postal legislation moderniZ-
ing our parcels post system as pro
vided for in the resolutions adopted
by the National Grange at the 4Oth
annual session.
SWEET CORN MATTER.
Whereas, The New Century Pomo-
ma Grange having agitated the cost
of production of sweet corn and hav-
ing caused delegates to be appointed
from nearly all the Pomona Oranges
In the corn producing sections OF our
State to assemble In Bangor In con
junction with the State Grange to
for sweet corn.
And, whereas, Owing to the higher
cost of nearly everything In farm
ers living as well as fertilizers and
all kinds of grain and feed stun and
labor make it Improbable to raise
sweet corn as compared with other
crops.
Therefore be 1t resolved that we
members of the Maine State Orange
and patrons of the corn packing com
panies demand and insist on two and
one-half cents per pound for our pro-
ducts for the 1910 crop,
Resolved, That we will go to our
several homes and use our influence
with our friends and patrons to
achieve our demand.
Resolved That owing to the high
cost of grain that 1t will be better to
plant yellow rather than sweet corn
until our demand Is met.
Resolved, That copies of these re-
solves be sent to every Grange In the
corn producing sections Of our State

This gentleman, whom we have not the
pleasure of knowing, writes a letter to
"The Carol County Times" denying the
correctness of certain statements that Mr..
Watson is alleged to have made concerning
foreign missions. It appears that Mr.. Ellis
has not himself read the Watson articles. We
suggest that he do this After he shall have
done SO, we invite him to write to The JET
FERsoN1AN, specifying wherein the Watson
articles are misleading. II Mr.. Ellis, or any
one else can show us that we are wrong we
will gratefully receive the correction.

Another Very Angry ParSom

This time the reverend gentleman who
throws off his coat and gives Brother Watson
knuckle-rap on the other cheek is an Epis-
copalian signing himself, in the Gainesville
(Fla.) Elevator, as "Francis III. Craighill,
Rector" The parson opens his batteries by
stating, ''It is not often that [ rush into
print"
This is to be lamented. Practice makes per-
feet, and if the Rector would rush into print
oftener, he would learn, gradually, how to be-
have himself better, when he does come but
ting in. It isn't good form for an inexperi-
enced Episcopal minister to begin contro-
versy by denouncing the article of his OPP
ponent as mere 'rot y "Romaphobia," "super-
stitious credulity," "wild vaporings," limiting
at insincerity and wilfuI misrepresentation.
Neither is it seemly and Christ-like to deride,
as altogether ludicrous, Brother Watson's
modest and well-meant interpretations OF
Scripture.
Is it wholly absurd to contend that, where
the Bible says ''go We into all the world and
preach" we discharge our full duty qohena q0e
haze gone and preached?
Paul and Barnabas, James and John, Tim
othy and Peter we're pioneer missionaries:
how did they spread the Gospel? They went
abroad, preaching at this place and that
place, until they had gained enough converts

verts became the nucleus of church work, at
that place. After this church, this nucleus,
was formed, the missionary left it to itself.
The converts were expected to go to work
among their own people, leading them to
Christ. These converts were left to pay their
own preachers and to support their own
church. Paul did not hire Romans to preach
to Romans, or Greeks to preach to Greeks.
Not single school did these pioneer mission
aries establish No money did the home
church send to the new churches On the con-
trary, we find that the new churches sent
money to the home church, to the "Saints in
Judea." o.
These original missionaries did not take up
their residence where they had organized a
church, and spend the balance of their lives
teaching, preaching and enjoying a comfort
able salary and comfortable home at one
place. They hept going, spreading the Cos
pei and founding other churches.
These pioneer missionaries had either heard

Is Brother Watson to be made the butt Of
clerical rid5cuze because he contends that Paul
and Peter and Timothy and B0am0b0s UN-
DERSTOOD THEIR BUSINESS?
Was Paul wrapped up in "a snug provin-
cialism" because he could not know, nineteen
hundred years in advance, that fat politi-
clan like William HI. Taft would claim that
the work of the foreign missionary should in
clude literary education, industrial training,
thorough course in hygiene, and a tutorship
in right-living?
Taft says that the heather must be sup
piled with schools, with hospitals, with doc
tors, with industrial education and be taught,
generally, how to keep clean and act right.
That's big contract. If we undertake all
that, we will not have money enough left in
this country to pay our preachers then
what would become of us?
We have in this country about 80 100000
people who go through the form of being
church members. There are at least 100000
900 of the heather, each of whom has as much
right to the Taft Craighill treatment as any
other. If we adopt the Taft raighill policy,
every church-member in the United States
will be responsible for twenty-five heather. Ac-
cording to Taft and Craighill, each Christian
must not only labor to convert his forty
heathen but must educate them, teach them
wv
cleanliness, honesty, sobriety, morality and
other Christian virtues OF all the aslnine
propositions that ever was heard, we consider
this the most ridiculous.
Brother Craigh1ll is very severe on Watson
about those Chinese. statistics. He says that
the native Christian membership of the
churches in China is ], 141 ,O43 IF the Rector
had not been in such haste to crush into
print" he would have read the Watson article
with sufficient care to understand that Wat
son was alluding to Protestant native work
ers and to Protestant native converts. The
figures used in The JEFFERsoNIAN MAGAZINE
were taken from pamphlet furnished us by
a Methodist minister They relate to condi-
tions existing a few years ago.
At the Shanghai Conference last gear, the
number of Protestant converts was given as
154 1000 according to the statistical Almanac
of the American Board of Missions. In 'The
Uplift of China" Dr. Smith puts the number
of Protestant converts in China (19O6) at
1885,
Therefore, it would seem that the mission
aries differ among themselves, quite mate
rally, as to the number of the native Protest
ants in China Even DR.. Smiths figures rep
resent the number as pitifully small, when
we remember that there are 400,OOOOOO Chi
nese
Rector Craighill seems to think that Mr.
Watson stated that $21 ,OOO,O 900 was the sum
spent annually on missionary work IN China.
Here, again, he misunderstood the Watson
ticle. No such statement is therein made.
We mentioned $21,OOOOOO in connection with
what Buddhist missionary might do in the
Christian world, because that amount is, in
round numbers, the sum which Christian mis-
sionaries are spending in the heather world.
Equally unhappy is Rector Craighill's
scOrnful effort to correct Watson in the mat

Where S Bryan?

w mere > DYVWWS
If ever the dear old dirigible Democratic
party needed leader, it was when Congress
met in extra session. A new fiscal law was to
be framed which would probably remain un-
changed for a whole generation, and which
would tax 9O,00OOO0 to the extent of at least
$3O0,OOO,OOO per year.
Therefore it was matter of overwhelming
Importance that the new law be framed in
broad spirit of Justice to all classes and all
sections.
From the very first, it was evident that the
organized classes, the benefciaries of Special
Privilege, would move heaven and earth to
make the new tariff act as much like the pres
ent law as possible The Dingley tariff has
given us the gigantic, predatory, Unsuitable
and ruthless Trusts. The "interests' want
another of the same kind. From the four
quarters, the eagles of protection focked to
Washington, for the carcass is there.
But what are people doing? Those who
must pay the $3OO,OOOOOO per year to the
Government, under the new law, e0lW be COM
PEELED to pay to the Trusts at least tve times
as much, or $1,500,0OO,O00.
There you have a yearly tax of 81 800 OOO,-
600 per year. or 500 apiece for every man,
age the families at five members each, and the
annual tax will be one hundred dollars per
family, on tariff duties alone, to say nothing
of internal revenue taxes, state and county
taxes, municipal taxes, and special school and
road taxes.
Is 1T not 0pp0z1iug? Is it not enough to
arouse the consumers who are to buy the va
rious articles upon which the New England
senator's are putting these extravaganza duties?
HIGH TARIFF DUTIES MEAN HIGH
PRICED GOODS, of all sorts.
We aOh0 consume the goods p0y THE TAX
to the Government and THE TRIBUTE to
the Trusts.
How are the consumers represented at
Washington9 Who is lobbying for them?
Who is going before committees of Congress
for Mema9 ARE THEY BOMBARDING
SENATOR'S WITH LETTERS, POST
CARDS AND TELEGRAMS? Are they
holding any meetings anywhere? Are they
proposing to do anything9 Hasn't the eel
life enough in it to wriggle while they are
skinning it?
Apparently not. There is nothing doing in
any direction. The consumer has no friends
in court. He hasn't sufficient vim to fire
postcard at his little one-horse Congressman.
He doesn't dare get reckless and shoot tee-
gram at his hu1nbug Senator.
AS to having leader anywhere, he has
none. Why don't the men who were bowling
for Bryan last fall, yell for him moao?
All this extra session has been q glorious
opportuaity for Bryan to come to the front
IND DO SOMETHING. He ought to have
gone to Washington and taken off his coat for
the consumers. The mere fact that he was
