NEED OF THE HOUR,
A Closer Union in the Work of
Grange Lecturers.
The Lecturer of the Michigan State
Grange Suggests Specific Methods
For improving Present Conditions.

Especial Correspondence.1

Especial Correspondence1
"What in your opinion would
strengthen the grange and grange
work today?" you ask.
A closer union among the various
lecture departments, national, state,
! pomona and subordinate. On the
basis that the greatest mission of the
! grange is educational and that the lee
turer occupies the position of teach
| err, the organization should develop
strong constructive plans for exploring
| and pre-empting the full possibilities
| Of the lecture hour. The system with
which it's educational work is conduct
ed should be made coordinate with
that of other similar institutions de-
voted to agricultural and rural social
uplift. AS q whole, we viii do our
best under an aggressive, stimulating
and directing force, emanating from
the highest and permeating every de-
gree of the order.
Some of the specific methods by
which this closer union might be en-
couraged are:
First.-Through communications and
advising by correspondence of the ma
tional lecturer with under lecturers.
Second.-Through up to date printed
matter relating to grange history, ac-
complishments, progressive methods
and present methods, made available
for distribution from the national and
state offices.
Third.-Through a few broad topics
suggested to form the basis of uni
formity in program work and to Sc
cure concentration of discussion
throughout the order within a given
time.
Fourth-Through lecturers confer
ences ca at national sessions, which
state oranges should encourage and
perhaps assist their lecturers to at
tend; CD at state sessions, which po-
mona and subordinate oranges should
encourage and sometimes assist their
lecturers to attend; (c) at pomona ses-
sions, which subordinate oranges
should encourage their lecturers to at
tend. JENNIE BUELL.,

The Irish of Minneapolis should start
a. movement for the study Of the Gae-
lie language. The Irish Of other cities
are interested in the revival of the old
tongue. Only few days ago the Irish
American Alliance and the Wolfe Tone
Club of Cincinnati, Ohio, held a Joint
meeting to discuss the practicability
of taking up the study of the language
in a thorough and systematic man
ner, and they unanimously favored
the movement. The educated Irish who
know the grammatical construction Of
sentences in English would have no
difficulty in learning to read the OLD
language of Ireland. Those who do
not know other languages grammatic-
ally had better let Irish alone. Why
does not Alderman Martin F. McHale
organize a class? He is an enthusi-
astic student of Irish literature and
can read and write the language with
facility, though born in Minneapolis.
It Is shame for native-born sons Of
Ireland to be ignorant Of the language.
Let us hear from 1rishmen on this
subject.

CRIME IN ENGLAND.

Everybody has read of English judy
es in Ireland receiving white gloves
from county grand juries because there
were no criminal cases for them to
try. Within the past two months the
judges of Ireland had very little to do
except to travel on circuit and receive
white gloves to wear for absence Of
crime. Whether the judges wear the
gloves or just carry them home for
mementoes, we are not in a position to
state. But they are the only judges in
the British Islands who ever receive
such tokens of law-abiding citizenship.
And what is designated as crime" UNI
der British law in ireland. would not
be so considered in any other civilized
country in Europe. Real crime is very
infrequent in the land of st. Patrick.
But how does England that governs
Ireland. compare with the subject ma
ton? AS a matter of fact, in proper
ton to the population. there Is so per
cent more crime in England than there
is In the SISTER ISLE" The "predomin-
ant partner" is away up in crimes OF
all kinds, some Of which are totally
unknown in Ireland. During the past
four years. according to official statia~
tics. there were $50 murders in Eng
land. not including infanticides. There
were only As murders in ireland dur
ing the same period, and, the. most of
them We're due to agrarian troubles.
In one agricultural county in Eng
land, Norfolk. there were nearly 1,SO0
indictable offenses in 1908, including
one murder, IS cases of assault on the
police. 81 cases of beating and kicking
wives. In many agricultural counties
in Ireland the criminal calendars were
blank, white gloves being presented to
the Judges as a token of immunity
from crime. In 1913 there were near1y
$4,000 indictable offenses committed
IN England, while in Ireland the total
Number was only 5000 thus, according
to the population of both countries,
there were nearly two indictable Of
lenses committed in England to one in
Ireland. -
There is no likelihood that English
judges in England will receive any
white gloves from grand juries for tie
absence of crime, and yet the London
Tory papers inform their English read
'ers that Ireland is seething with crime
and disorder. Even Tory members CT

THE TONNAGE TAX VETO.

On Tuesday Governor johnson We.
toed the tonnage tax bill passed by the
legislature, and by his official action
has brought JOY into the homes of tbs
citizens of the mining regions of Min.
nesota who fought the bill from the
start on the ground that it was ex.
tremely unjust and would prove 8
drawback to the development Of the
northern part of the state. In his
message to the legislature, refusing his
signature to the bill, Governor John
son said it was wrong in principle tc
provide a double system of taxa
ton on one class of property; that
the measure would prove detrimental
to all interests in that section Of Min
nesota; and that under the present tau
laws the revenues couidsbe increased
without resorting to such legislation.
The Irish Standard would dissemble
by expressing the slightest sympathy
with any corporation that would try to
evade the payment of an equitable
tax on it's property; but the mining
companies of Northern Minnesota ap-
pear to be quite willing to stand the
present system of taxation: and TO,
that reason they should receive justice
and fair play at the hands of the leg
islature. There is no justification cor
any prejudice against corporations that
do not try to be tax-dodgers. Corpor-
atoms should be treated fairly, like in
dividuals, and should not be target
for political demagogues.
The steel corporation, instead Of
shipping it's ore to the East, will start
smelling works in West Duluth and
give employment to the people of that
section of the state. That fact should
be taken into consideration by the leg
islators. 1t certainly was by the Gov
ernor, and by the expressions Of graft
tude from Duluth and the range towns
his veto of the measure is highly ap-
preciated.
The tonnage tax bill, killed by the
Governor, was loosely drawn and hard
ly comprehensive to the ordinary citi-
zen. That was defect noticed by the
Governor when he declared that at
was an ill-digested experiment not full
~ understood even by those who ia
vored it," In addition to that, the bill
was calculated to create sectional an
tipathy, and that has been avoided by
it's veto by Governor Johnson Long
litigation in the courts may also result
if the hill was enacted.
In view Of all these facts, we con-
graduate Governor johnson on his We
to of the tonnage tax bill, and also the
people of Northern Minnesota, whose
agricultural, financial and commercial
as we'll as mineral interests, were jeo-
pardized by Its passage. = '7'
