State Master Talks on Good Roads.
Law Changes Demanded.
The Pennsylvania state grange held
its thirty-seventh annual session In the
state college. There were over 1000
delegates and visiting members pres
emit The sessions were held in the
auditorium Of the college. The public
session program included an address
by State Master Greasy, j. l.. Holmes,
representing the college; Secretary j.
T.. Altman, DR.. Edward Sparks Of the
college and j. III. McSparran of the leg
islative committee Of the grange. The
next day. was full Of interest and ben
eft TO the visitors. The sixth degree
was conferred on a class of 400 candi-
dates. The executive committee m its
report vigorously denounced the high
way department as being incompetent
and demanded Il reorganization of IL.
The grange also asked for an equitable
revision of the tax laws of the state
and an amendment to the banking law
to permit the encouragement Of ma
tional banks TO loan capital on real
estate and mortgages. The grange de-
nounced the Aldrich tariff bill, the cen
trail banking scheme and ship subsidy.
The grange demanded proportional rep
resentation in the national grange. 1t
favors a representative vote for ordi-
nary questions, the state vote TO be
used only when demanded. The key
note Of the session was that through
legislation the farmers Of Pennsylva-
mia will come into their own. State
Master Greasy in his annual address
urged Patrons TO make an effort TO
have men nominated for governor and
for other public offices that would
give then a square deal" He urged
all to attend the primaries. Comment
ing on good roads and road legislation,
Mr. Greasy said:
81 believe that the workings OF this
township road law, with the full
amount of 500 or $50 per mile appro-
prlation, will make more good roads in
ten years than the department can
build in thirty years. We are anxious
TO have the state build as many roads
as possible, but we believe some addi-
tional knowledge is necessary before
good roads can be built with any last
ing qualities. The cost Of these state
roads makes it impossible for many
sections to receive any benefit from
them. Then, again. the annual cost OF
repairing these state roads is any
where from 500 to 81 500 per mile.
Some townships cannot afford this be-
cause their roads must be kept in a
passable condition. Dirt roads cost on
an average at least $40 per mile per
year. 1t is impossible to use all taxes
collected for building piece of GOOD
road and neglect the balance.
THE grange position on the road
question is that since all use tine roads
all interests should contribute toward
their maintenance and repair. A tax
Of mill on corporate and personal
property would make good road fund
that is fair. and we should stand by
this grange plan"

Bio Hats ln Colonial DAYS.

The question OF high hats at public
places; was Of some moment, even in
coloniail days. In 1869 the church at
Andovsr, Mass. put 1t to vote wheth-
er the parish disapprove OF the fe-
male sex sitting with their hats on I'm
the meeting house in time Of divine
service as being indecent" In the town
of Abingdon in 11TI5 it was voted that
it was IAN indecent way with the
feminine sex TO sit with their hats and
bonnets On in worshiping God" Still
another town voted that 1t was the
towns mind" that the women should
take their bonnets of in meeting and
hang them on the pegs.

The Half Weekers.

A new sect has been formed at Ii
fiis, Russia. The half weekers." or
"pol nedeli." as they call themselves,
teach that only three days and a half
I'm every week ought to be given to
work. The rest should be devoted to
recreation and the recuperation OF the
strength lost in labor. Idleness Is a
sin, II Is maintained. but so Is over
much work. and every man ought to
regulate his life so that he may have
an equal share of activity and of rest.
The founder of the movement, the
prophet Kusmitch, lives up to his high
ideals, and, although he Is cobbler
and has a wife and children to sup
p-.t. he does not hesitate to leave of
work every Thursday afternoon and
tic repose till Monday.

The EInn AZ Half Mast.

The custom Of showing the flag at
half mast originated from the way at
sea of showing the prominence one
ship had over the other in time of war
fare. The vanquished always had to
lower it's flag. while the victor's would
be raised as high as possible in exul-
tation. To lower Il flag is an act Of
submission or betokens respect to SUI
perior or Is IL signal OF distress. The
hoistiug OF a flag half mast high came
to be used, therefore. as a sign of
MOURNING and respect.

BIG FLAG ON EAGLE ROCK.

Statue Of Liberty.

Patriotic organizations at Montclair.
n. j., are interested in the proposition
to fly large American flag from the
summit Of Eagle rock, In the Eagle
Rock park, adjoining Montclair. 1t is
proposed TO fly the flag from a steel
pole 800 feet in height. The Essex
county park commissions consent will
have to be procured before the plan
can be carried out.
The flag when flown from a tall
pole on the lofty Eagle rock could be
seen by ships entering the New York
harbor and. it is asserted. would come
into the view Of immigrants before
the statue Of Liberty was sighted. 1t
is planned to dedicate the flag with
elaborate ceremony on July 4.
