OUR HIGH IDEALS.
Is the Grange Measuring Up to the
Standards Set by It's Founders7
Especial Correspondence

Standards Set by It's Founders?
Especial Correspondence
The question has been asked, us
the grange measuring up to the high
ideals of its founders ?" Ideals are
perfection. Results are reality. Ideals
are spiritual. Results are human and
because they are human are seldom
perfect. Ideals mean higher and bet
ter things. "He aims too low who
shoots beneath the stars
The founders Of the grange placed
its ideals high, and that it has meas
ured up" "made good" that the real
ization Of its ideals in results is appar
ent In the higher and better things for
rural life, is proved by the oft repeated
remark, "They builded better than
they knew"
One Of It's ideals was to perfect for
the first time in history an organiza-
ton Of tillers of the soil united by the
strong and faithful ties of .agricul
ture," nation wide and perhaps as ex-
tensive as the world. This ideal has
been largely realized, and well nigh a
million members are now within its
fold, while other farm organizations
are following the lead Of the grange
and keeping step with millions more.
Other ideals were meeting together,
selling together, working together
buying together, talking together and
In general acting together for mutual
protection and advancement, to bring
producers and consumers, farmers and
manufacturers into the most direct
and friendly relations possible, to de-
velop a better and higher manhood
and womanhood among ourselves, to
enhance the comforts and attractions
Of our homes and strengthen our at
tachments to our pursuits, to encOur-
age education, that practical agricul-
ture, domestic science and all the arts
which adorn the home be taught in
our schools, encourage honesty In
business and politics, to support tenn
pearance and promote peace on earth,
good will toward men, and stand for
a proper equality, equity and fairness,
protection for the weak, restraint upon
the strong-in short, justly distributed
burdens and justly distributed power"
All worthy ideals these for the sons
and daughters OF our American repub-
lie. One Of its highest ideals was to
place woman in her proper place
the full equal with mantle first or.
ganization in the world to do so. and
thereby to inculcate proper appre.
citation Of her abilities and her sphere.
Through the working out Of its
ideals it has made tens Of thousands
Of men and women better-better to
each other, better to their neighbors
and better to their God. 1t has made
brighter and better homes, bringing
about the real uplift in rural life. II
is securing better and more just laws,
purer politics, curbing mOnopolies,
electing better men to office, and If its
ideals are kept bright and remain
high and II its members work for
these ideals and not for personal am
bition or other selfish purposes mil.
lions more will rise up and call II
blessed.

pointed and said he didn't get the

tractor, and he explained how it
was. The fellow kept whistling a
lot of tunes such as "Auld Lang
Syne" and E'The Suwanee River"

that he wouldn't do before | even
saw him. He must be a slow NOV

The City of Ispahan.

No city has happier name than
Ispahan-the Rendezvous" When
visited by the traveller Chardin in
the early part of the eighteenth
century it contained 173 mosques,
48 colleges, 1900 caravansaries and
273 public baths. But the Afghans,
the local vandals, who did not care
for bathing, destroyed the aque-
ducts and slaughtered the bathers.
In the matter Of great public
squares Ispahan can easily outrival
any European city. The Meydan,
or great square, is third of mile
in length and about half that in
breadth. It was once encircled by a
canal, :bordered by fine plane trees,
but these have long since vanished
along with the canal.

1t quired two days consideration
for the Senate to pass the Census
bill VIII Oh was reportt d by Senator
E Toilette with many amendments,
the principal of which Effected the
Civil Service provlsocs Of the bill.
rs amended in the Senate, the bill
complies with all of the objections
which President Roosevelt MI de to
UiIl passed during the last session.
Although Senator Bailey and other
Senators made severe attacks upon
the civil service provisions, the COM
mittee amendments were adopted
without record vote. This is the
first bill which Senator LaFollette
has had charge of during his sena-
torial career. That is, it is the first
that he has had as chairman. In
the Hours of Service fight. he took
such a position on that bill as to be
virtually in charge of it. The Cen
sus bill was but slightly amended on
the floor from the manner in which
it was presented by the Committee.
It is so radically different from the
House bill however that it is expect
ed there will be quite a contest in
the conference committee? One
provision of the bill amends the
general civil service law and makes
bona fide residents in the State
from which an applicant for exam in
alton under the civil service law re-
.isters requisite to eligibility.
This provision is meeting with siren
nous opposition from residents of
District of Columbia who claim to
be residents of states, but many of
whom were born in the District and
have never seen the states from
which they register. 1t cuts this
class out of eligibility to eXamina-
tion from any place other than the
District of Columbia and as the Dis
trict's quota is more than full there
would be but slight chance for there
appointment. The employees of the
government resident in the District
who have held office here for years
and seem to be concerned to build
up an office holding class are bring
ing all kind of pressure to bear upon
tatives to have this amend
ment rejected in conference so that
they may continue to put the mem
bers of their families into public
places.

Monster Nests.

In Australia are to be found the
largest, heaviest and most peculiar
nests in the world. These are the
nests of the jungle fowl, so called,
and are built in the form of great
mounds, the average measurement
in height being fifteen feet and the
circumference $50 feet. The nests
are erected in secluded, sheltered
spots, and, as in the case of the
small nests of birds, they are skill
fully interviewer with leaves, grass
and twigs and such other suitable
material as the fowl may be able to
procure. A similar system in the
construction of nests is followed by
the bush turkey, whose home is,
however, more comprehensive in de-
sign. Its shape is pyramidal. 1t
has been asserted by Australian nat
uralists that the nests of the bush
turkeys, which live in colonies, are
so large that to move them requires
the services of six or seven men,
