There are too many actors to bore us
And stars who are hardly shine;
There are too many girls in the chorus
Subsisting on Holsters and wine.
There are too many catered and walt

Who call for the fzzy and dry,
Too few who are sowing and billing
and hoeing,
So living-well, living is high.
There are too many thrumme1s and
strummerS
Annoying the keys and the strings;
There are too many chautfeurs and
loaferS
Who are riding in automo-thlngs.
There are too many Schemers and

And only few who produce,
Too many investing in golden egg
nesting
And few who are growing the goose.
There are too many preachers and

Who work the south half of their
faces;
There are too many tourists OF JurlstS,
Whose suits are concealed in their

High Cost of Living.
By Edmund Vance Cooke.

Who demand, but who cannot sup
ply,
And they serve a subpoena upon
Martini
And wonder that living is high.
Too many are looking for cooking,
Too few are encouraging spuds;
To many find SHINING is simpler than
spinning
To dress in delectable dudS.
There is too much of diction and fic
ton
And not enough actual TOLL
There are too many diggers at hctl-
Cious figures
And not enough diggers of soil.
There are too many rimers and
chimerS
Like me- doing versifed stunts;
There are too many gapers (l1ke you)
of the papers
Who read and forget both at once.
There are too few who skin hard the
vineyard,
Too many imbibing its juice,
And the while we inquire: "Why does
living grow higher?''
The bulk of us fail to produce.

Although Washington has far out
stripped all other states in the matter
of organization, yet other states have
also done something.
Washington organized, during the
first quarter, so new oranges: Penn.
10; Michigan, II; Ohio, 10; Iowa, 9;
Oregon and Maryland, each; Col
orado and Kansas each Z; Vermont,
6; Missouri, 5; Idaho, /; Maine and
Massachusetts each 3; Indiana, 2; and
Illinois, Kentucky, N. H., N. J. and
Wis. each l. Making 184 in all, of
which Washington organized over one
quarter. The grange is becoming
more and more to be recognized as a
factor not to be disregarded in polit-
ical way, and it is hard to draw the
line and prevent partisan politics
fl ON being pushed into our delibera-
tions. It we will remember that we
as a grange stand for principles and
not party, measures and not men,
then we Will have taken the proper
step to make the grange success as a
political factor.
We may as citizens favor some par
ticnlar person for a certain office,
but when we are in grange we must
leave our favoritism where it will not
crop out in the grange. The grange
must not endorse any person for Of
flee. History of the past will show
us the effect if it is done. We will
soon lose our prestige and maybe will
lose our organization.
There are certain reforms that we
are needing more than others and
those we should go after first, and not
demand too much change at time.
In our congress we should demand a
parcels post, and prevent the repeal
of the oleomargarine law, especially,
in the state we need direct legislation
and equal suffrage, or, probably these
measures should be changed in their
order, as equal suffrage should pre-
ceed the direct legislation.
Other measures are needed, and
should be obtained if possible, but we
should center our efforts on these two
and if we get them then we can get
the rest.
Our oranges are waking up to their
responsibilities, and an ever increas-
ing number of our voters are declar-

vile, Tenn, In October.
New York. July 16.-Colonel Roose
welt came to town to write pieces fol
the Outlook, the second time during
this week.
He didn't have time to write very
much, but he met lot of persons who
dropped in to say howdy and find out
from the contributing editor just how
things are going Among his callers
were the editor of funny paper who
also writes editorials, former ambas-
sador to Mexico, who said that the
colonel can have a third term so far as
the part of the west he comes from is
concerned, delegation from the Appa'
lachian exposition to be held In Ten
nessee and Herbert Parsons.
The Tennesseans brought with them
marble slab, neatly engraved, with
greetings to the colonel from his
friends, but they didn't remove 1t from
leather case while anybody was
around. The colonel made a little
speech and later told the delegation
that he would make an address at the
exposition in Knoxville on Oct. Z. This
will be on his second trip.
The usual crowd of visitors pressed
into the room as soon as the Tennes'
scans left Colonel Roosevelt shook
hands with number Of persons and
called some of them by name. When
he spied David E. Thompson, formerly
ambassador to Brazil and Mexico, the
colonel made a characteristic greet
ing. He and Mr.. Thompson are old
old friends. Mr.. Thompson is a hot
Roosevelt man and he lives only q
block from William ]. Bryan. in Lin
coin, Neb. He remains true TO the
colonel, nevertheless.

Roosevelt. that he is a candidate for
the Republican congressional nomina
ton In the Observation-Disclosures district
to succeed Charles II. Millington, the
present representative. caused a great
furry among the leaders. The Repub-

all their arrangements to send Repre-
sentative Millington back for another
term. A nomination on the Republic

New York. July lG.-Just as the sa-

ginning to breathe easily in the be-
lief that all of the excise agitation Of
some weeks ago had died entirely
away, Mayor Gaynor has given them
another chill.
This time the jolt has landed in the
Great White Way section, for the
mayor has summarily revoked the all
night licenses of thirty-nine of the
places that have been wont to sell food
and refreshment until daybreak In
Manhattan.
He has also shut down on eight sim
liar establishments in Brooklyn, max
ing forty-seven in all.
