Should Autos be Licensed.

That farmers themselves are rapiC ly
appreciating the difficulties of automobile
lists and are, indeed, themselves rapidly
becoming motor enthusiasts was demon
strated at the weekly meeting of Brandy
wine Grange at Talleyville, in New Cas-
tie County, last week when sentiment
was divided as to whether there should
be a license and extra tax on automobiles
or whether automobiles should be consid-
cred teams and relieved of license. A
comparatively short time ago erangers
were uDamious and urging extra taxation
upon automobiles. The change Of senti-
ment apparent at the grange meeting last
night is undoubtedly due to the fact that
many farmers now own automobiles and
know that motorists have troubles Of
their own. Those who disputed the ar
gument for an additional tax even went
so far as to demand that teams should be
equipped with lights, as in Pennsylvania,
as a protection to themselves and so that
automobiles wouldn't bump into them.
Auto licenses should be done away with
and motor cars placed in the same class
with teams, these argued. Those who
opposed autos declared that the present
tax was insufficient and that an
extra tax should be imposed for their
wear upon the road. The debate will be
continued at future meetings.

THE vATIcAN's GRIEVANCES
Contained In Long Note Now on Its
Way to Spain.

San Sebastian, Aug. 24.-At a cabinet
council held today. which was presided
over by King AlphOnso. who has just re-
turned from abroad, Premier Canalejas
read telegram from Marquis de Coma
les, counselor of the Spanish embassy at
the Vatican, announcing the receipt from
Cardinal Merry Del Val. the Papal sec
rotary of state. of a long note answering
number of points raised in the last
Spanish note and exposing at length the
Vatican's grievances against the Spanish
ministry
Premier Canalejas declared that al
though he did not know the exact tenor
of the note. it would in no way effect his
policy. Whatever reasons are put for
ward by the Vatican" he added. the
government will not change the attitude
it has maintained since the beginning of
the conflict. which attitude always has
been correct"
The premier concluded by saying that
the text of the note was too important
to risk causing errors in 1t by telegraph
ing. and that therefore it was expected to
reach Spain at the end of the week.

BARNES FEELS AGGRESSIVE.
Says It Looks as Though the "Oid
Guard" Would Fight

New York. Aug. 24.-Colonel Roose
velt's statement that if the "Old
Guard desires a fight, they will have
all the fight they want" found Will
liam Barnes, Jr. of Albany in an ag-
gressive attitude tonight. Mr. Barnes
will meet State Chairman Woodruff
here tomorrow and go over a plan of
campaign by which they hope to win
out at the coming primaries.
Colonel Roosevelt's statement was
shown Mr.. Barnes at the Republican
Club tonight and after reading it care
fully he said
1.-The opponents of direct nomina-
tons, after the contest they have been
through, will not violate the principles
for which they have been fighting at
the dictation Of anyone. and it looks
as if they will have to fight" u
County Chairman Griscom indicated
to callers late today that there was
nothing in the report of a compromise
by which Vice President Sherman
would be made temporary chairman of
the state convention and Colonel
Roosevelt would be chosen permanent
chairman.
Mr.. Griscom's position is that those
members of the "Old Glard'' now con-
trolling the party in the state, must
go.
A special meeting of the Republican
state committee to solve the question
of who shall be temporary chairman
and thereby prevent fight on the
floor of the state convention, was re-
port which Lloyd c. Griscom, New
York county chairman. would not dis
cuss today. Mr.. Griscom did not deny
that he had received word from several
state committeeman who had voted for
Mr.. Sherman for temporary chairman
that they were ready to join the So
called "Progressives."
State Chairman Woodruff will be in
town tomorrow to plan the fight in the
coming September primaries where the
next test will be had between the
forces that are now struggling for the
today that he did not know whether
National Committeeman William l..
Ward would be present or not.
The Albany leader said he had moth
ing to add to the statement made last
night in which he declared that Col.
Roosevelt's attitude on direct nomi
nations was "Populistic." Friends of
Mr.. Barnes say that he heard from
Vice President Sherman and that Mr..
Sherman would not withdraw from the
craftsmanship.
Mr.. Griscom said this afternoon: -
have read Mr.. Barnes statement and
see nothing in it but clear cut eva
sion of the issue now before the state
an6 county. There is nothing in it for
me to answer
The county chairman has sent word
to his associates that the main ques
ton before the people Of the state is
whether those leaders now numbered
among the "Old Guard" shall con-
tinue in control of the party
