v hat the GRANGE
Is Now DOING.
By c. L. Rice, Lecturer of
MINI. State Grange.

The Grange is a fraternal or
ganization OF farmers, to secure
educational and legislative bene-
fits. Such an organization must
stand on high ideals and must
seek to benefit all American
farmers Farmers must learn to
keep step with the music of the
day, for whether we like it or
not, the organizations of capital
and labor are here and here to
stay. The Grange is national in
scope, non-partisan in politics,
but truly patriotic. seeking to
develop the highest standard of
citizenship, non-sectarian in re-
ligion, but having high ideals of
morality, founded upon the teach
ings of the Bible.
The Grange includes in its
membership not only the farmer,
but his family. 1t was the first
organization to accord women the
same privileges as man and gives
inspirations for better homes and
higher aims. There is nothing
equal to a good Grange for boys
and girls, to awaken their inter-
est in farm affairs, and cause
them to realize the benefit of ed
ucating the hand with the mind,
that they may be able to put this
into practice at all times.
The Subordinate Grange is the
real Grange of our Order, is a
federation Of local farmers bound
together in county, state and ma
ton; organized for mutual bene-

THE FINE RECORD OF A

When Mr. Frank sullivan. OF tho

at Lansing. mentioned the name OF
the Hon. Joseph II Steere for re-
election to tie snfreme court bench.
a shout OF approval went up from
every corner Of the hall. and his nom

Thus. was the manner in which he
was nominated by the Republicans of
Michigan. a fine and just tribute to
the high ability of the candidate as
q supreme court Judge. and eloquent
testimonial to his popularity as a
man. and his candidacy was received
with satisfaction in every corner OF
the state.
The Hon. Joseph II. Steere was

ment that the equal suffrage
amendment carried by a substan-
tial majority in Michigan last No
vember and political corruption
nullified the will of the majority.
Thus out Of this campaign for
suffrage for women" has come
even a greater question, Can
men vote in Michigan and have
the expression of the majority
determine the result of an cleo
tion?''
Unfortunately just how many |
votes were cast for the amend
ment and how many against it
will never be known. When it
was reported that the amend
ment had carried, an attempt
was made by the opposition to
have the vote OF two counties
thrown out on a technicality; the
point being that the ballots had
not been properly printed. 1t
failed. Days passed. The oftic-
ial returns began to come in and
the maj ority for was turned into
majority against.
Then the friends of equal suf-
frage demanded a recount in the
counties of Wayne, Saginaw and
Kent. The recount showed that
the election had not been a fair
one; that probably every device
known to corrupt politicians from
the solitary bandaged finger to
the concerted action of the whole
election board had been used by
them to defeat the measure.
| Some of the irregularities that
were found to exist were as fol-
/ lows: "
/ l. In Wayne county there were
more than 10, 600 uninitialed bal
lots; in Kent county more than
5000. The total number in the
state is not known.
/ 2. More ballots cast against
the amendment in some precincts
than there were voters in the
| precinct.
| 3. Ballots marked both yes"
and no" with two different col
ored pencils. One an ordinary
lead pencil, the other blue one.
In one precinct 10 ballots were
marked this way.
A. Not enough suffrage ballots
in rural districts where the SEN
| timent for the amendment was
strong.
5. Suffrage ballots not given
out until 1:30 p. m.
6. Unused ballots not account
ed for.
Z. Ballots burned.
8. Ballots marked mo" when
the voter expressed a wish to
vote yes" This was done by
election inspectors when assist

9. Working against the amend
ment right in the room where
the election was being held. just

10. Anti-Suffrage literature in
the booths.
1t is impossible to arrange this
list in the order Of a climax. Ev-
cry one of the irregularities is
the climax of political corruption.
Demosthenes Urged his coun-
trymen to take up arms against
Philip of Macedon. 1t is said
that had Philip heard this great
Athenian orator, he would have
been so impressed by the justice
of the plea that he would have
been persuaded to take up arms
against himself. Following this
line of thought, it does seem as
if even those who are guilty of
this crime against democracy
would take up arms against
themselves, against such polite
al corruption, would they but
read the list over.
Then the opponents Of equal
suffrage maintained in court that
an amendment can not be re-
counted. The court decided in
favor of the opposition because

TRY SOME OF THIS
"STATEROONiS."
~~O$~~

On the Mississippi river in olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
ornate affairs, vying with one another
in garish glory. One owner hit on
the idea of naming his steamboats,
cabins instead of numbering them. So
he named them in honor of the states
of the Union, each having above the
door the gilt title of some state, the
big central cabin being called the TEX
as" after the largest state Other
boat owners took up the idea, and
thus the word cabin was gradually al
ternated by state" room. For years
the best cabin was still known as the
Texas. Then that sobriquet disap-
peared with the ebbing glory of the
old river steamers. But the word
l"stateroom" became incorporated in
to our language, says the Chicago
Journal, and in time even broke into
the dictionary, as does many another
catch phrase. Not one person in a
thousand who occupies stateroom
knows the term once meant "a room

the constitution by protracting their

how can they object if the governor

Shortly after the conviction at
Cincinnati of the rs men in the Cash
Register Trust and the

men in the Bath Tub
Trust at Detroit, the New York World
commented as follows:
Here are thirty-six responsible men
found guilty within two days of vio-
lating the criminal clause of the anti
trust act.
Yet for years we have been told
that this clause could not be enforced:
that juries would not convict reputable
business men of conspiracy to monop-
olize trade. When Mr.. Roosevelt was
carrying on his campaign against the

cal messages to congress explaining
that business could not be carried on

this time. The land now held by the
state is scattered among the various
national reserves and is so bottled in
as to be worthless, The state can get
no use from the land and it could not
sell the land to advantage If it wished
to do so. Seemingly this timber will
remain locked up as long as the ma
tional forest reserves exist and that
may be for eternity,
Under Governor Vests plan he
trades this scattered timber for a solid
body of good standing timber in the
Santiam reserve. This will give us a
state forest that will be of practical
use. The ripe timber will be cut and
sold, thereby producing revenue for
the state. The forest will also serve
as valuable adjunct to the state
forestry school in connection with the
agricultural college.
The state forest scheme is so meri-
torious that it is difficult to under
stand why there should ever have
been any objection raised in the legis-
lature. Yet the senate voted the thing
down when it first acted on the pro-
position Friday, the fight against the
bill being led by Thompson and other
standpatters who doubtless opposed
the scheme purely because it was a
West proposal. On Saturday the SEN
ate reconsidered its action and passed
the bill. The house had previously
passed the bill.
The way is now clear for the state
OF Oregon to get some benefit from its
timber lands and for the $4,000 acres
that will be obtained the school forces
of Oregon will have Oswald West to
thank. 1t pays to have governor
who honestly wishes to serve the peo-
pie and does so no matter by whom
opposed.

Murderous ilization of the goth cen
Mexico. tury and the odium falls
upon this nation as well
as on the bleeding country to the
south. Madero was the constitutional
president of Mexico. He had been
chosen to office at the fairest cleo
ton Mexico had ever held. He was
striving to serve the people of that
benighted republic. He wished to
give them an enlightened government
under the constitution. He was max

ed had it not been for the interter-
ence of American financial interests
and its too ready ally the department

IT has been apparent that American
influences in Mexico were not on the
side of the lawful government, but
rather with the tories that wished to
return to power. News stories during
the recent revolution :all point in that
direction and it was plain that the
American ambassadors sympathies
were with the Diaz element. To what
extent this country went in bringing
about the downfall of Madero the gen.

truth were known it might reveal

patriots boil.
When Woodrow Wilson becomes
president one of the first tasks with
which he will have to deal will be the
Mexican situation. No one wants In
tervention by the United States and
non-interference by this country Will
