WHY THE GRANGE?

The farmers calling is Older than
history. His occupation is to deal with
Nature primarily From the EARTH
sun and rains his harvests and flocks
draw their sustenance Nature treated
honestly is unfailngly contentious. In
telligent labor will bring bountiful
harvest. Association and nearness to
nature have made the farmer a believer
in labor, honest effort, and the business
Of man and institutions.
The farmers viewpoint is changed
when he passes through his farm gate
to deal with man and his institutions
with whom he must buy and sell. All
occupations, that are worthy of the
name, are organized for protection, are
unionized. They are forced into this
position after years of wage-cutting
and curtailment of rights.
Large monied and property interests
choose men. lobbyists, to go to our law
making centers, to mingle with the law.
makers, to influence, to advise. even to
urge the shaping of laws to favor their
respective business. The whole world,
business institutions and other callings
have progressed in the intricacies of
self-protection and combination. The
farmer alone has been slow to organize.
When the screws were frightened on him
he made up the difference by drawing
more heavily on Mother Earth. There
is limit to which the farmer can pillow
in depth to quality of seed and cultiva-
tion.
The farmer is forced to look about to
confer with and cooperate with his
neighbors The Grange is his solution
Through pure necessity the farmers are
organizing. They meet with their CO.
workers, compare and discuss the ques-
tions that they have to solve, The
farmers have to do with more problems
than the main body Of the people. They
must know the laws of Nature that
pertain to fruits. grains, their herds
and flocks, soil and its fertility; the
schools, churches. moral surroundings
for their families, roads, transporta-
ton, markets, financial conditions, be-
sides the technical knowledge of the
various operations of their calling. The
topics are numerous and have to be met.
The Grange is the development of
farmers thoughts and efforts. 1t is
their only organization. In the sub
ordinate grange local questions are dis
cussed. As a social feature it has much
influence. The Pomona or county
grange. state grange, and national
grange are the successive steps in or
der and rank The farmers have re
cruits from all professions. trades and
callings The different problems of the
farmers are often passed upon by past
specialists who are now in the ranks of
the farmers.
The problems of government in coun
ty. state and nation are forced upon the
farmers The farmer his family and
his farm are a small government. Ana.
lie the conditions, functions and being
of the nation and you will find the

men and Children.
Judged by the number of laws enact
ed on the subject, the employment of
women and children is the question
most in the legislative mind in so far
as labor legislation is concerned, thir-
ty-two states having enacted fifty-four
laws or amendments thereon in the
past Two years. In the majority of
cases these laws are amendatory. Prin-
cipal laws were enacted in ten states.
four of Mississippi, North Dako-
ia, Oklahoma and Washington-being
first enactments on the subjects GOV
cred, while in the other six cases
Kansas, Kentucky. Louisiana, Michi-
gan. Pennsylvania and Virginia-the
statutes supersede prior enactments.
The laws relate to age limit, hours Of
labor, prohibited employments, com
pulsOry school attendance. certitica-
ton, registry and all the provisions
that have been found valuable in the
matter Of the regulation of the employ
ment OF women and children.
The employment of children is the
subject of the large majority OF these
acts. Extended and detailed lists of
empoyments prohibited for children
appear in the legislation Of New York,
North Dakota. Ohio, Oklahoma and
Pennsylvania, and in Il number of
states new laws are added prohibiting
night work In several states the
hours of labor of children were re
duced TO eight per day. In Massachu
sets and Rhode Island the hours Of
labor Of women and children were re
duced to fifty-six per week in manu-
featuring or mechanical establish
ments.

Both reaetionaries and progre5siyes in
the republican party are yociterously
shouting their loyal adherence to the
policies OF Theodore Roosevelt and as
serting by imputation that Teddy is
with them. Just the same we imagine
both factions would breathe 4 little
easier il they knew to a certainty Just
what q certain strenuous person will
really say when he returns and plunges
into affairs of the country as he surely
will For there is little use disputing
the fact that Teddy is going to make or
