POLITICS AND THE GRANGE
clsely States the Orders Position
In Annual Address.

Never has the position of the
Grange In politics been more compre'
hensively defined than in the annual
address of National Master Oliver
Wilson, who stated the matter SO
| concisely and so clearly that no pos
| sible doubt can remain in anybody's
mind upon this subject. Mr.. Wilson
said:
Having received during the past
few months many inquiries, especially
from our newest members in regard
to the Grange and politics, / feel
called upon to clearly set forth, as
understand it, the Grange position on
this question. The declaration oil
purposes, adopted at the twelfth ses
sion of the National Grange, makes
clear the position wherein it says:
We emphatically and sincerely assert
the oft-repeated truth taught in ou1
organic law, that the Grange-na
tional, state or subordinate-is not
political or party organization On
page AZ of the digest we find the fol
lowing: The word political in the
constitution means partisan politics
and does not include or refer to gen
eral questions of political economy.
Political circulars dated at the
Grange, or in any way bearing the
impress of the order, such as using
official letter-heads, envelopes, or IN
any way that shall create the impress
sion that the order is political or
lends itself to partisan political &C.
ton, is violation of the fundamental
laws Of our order, and should in all
instances be disapproved.' The
Grange from it's earliest organization
has adhered to this high standard and
must continue so to do. The National
Grange should be a leader in public
thought and public action and should
advocate measures because they are
in the interest of the agricultural
class. I am always pleased to see our
members elected to Offices of trust
and believe thereby our organization
Is strengthened and enabled to do
more effective work, but no officer or
past officer has right to use his Off
cial position or allow himself during
these political campaigns, on any pc
litical platform to be introduced as
an officer Of the Grange, nor has any
officer or member the right, accord
Ing to our organic law, to write parti-
san letters or addresses for publica.

Fletcher Jones

1t may be of interest to many to have {
more extended notice of the late Deacon
Fletcher Jones appear in these columns.
Born in Reading, VT, he was one OF 9
family of twelve children, of which Mrs
Mary l.. Batchelder of Bridgeport, Conn.
is the only survivor.
In 1S43 he married Mary Powers OF
Westminster, VT, and sixty-three years
of happy welded life were given to them
before the separation, July 9th, 1900
which he has patiently born until the re-
union, August /, 1913.

together with seven grandchildren and
seven great-gi andchildren.
He moved to Lowell, VT, in 1851; rep

year the prohbitory law was passed, of
which he was one of the strongest advo.
Gates. In 1866 he came to johnson, where
he lived until a few weeks before his
death, wheu he went 10 Morristown with
his son Fred.
At tn age of "a he united with the M.
E. church and later with the Congrega-
tional, being member of that church in
johnson forty seven years, and for nearly
forty wears one of its most honored dea
cons.
Such are the main facts of his life; but
how little they alone tell us of lie we
all loved. He loved the simplicity of
life, which kept him near to God, to man,
and to nature-all of which made for
strength. His home and his farm were
his palace; his family altar and his church
were his fountain of strength and hope.
He did not seek for honors, but when
given the duties of public citizenship was
faithful to his trust. He was father,
citizen, Christian of the old school,
which has made the history of New Eng
land such rich legacy.
He lived among us niLety-fve years
aud none of his children have aught to
regret in their memory of him, and no
man can say aught against his character
He was good man who loved God and
did unto others as he would like to be
done by. E. G.. FRENCH.

quarters men will cooperate with the
police of the Sixth precinct, from
which Captain Sam Brown has as
signed all his plainclothesmen and
has given strict orders to the uni
formed police to be on the alert.
For several weeks this section of
the city has been mecca for thieves,
who have successfully escaped with
hundreds of dollars worth of prop
erty, mostly jewelry, and while de-
tectives have carefully searched the
neighborhood, but one arrest has
been made. hit the prisoner is not be-
lieved to have been responsible for
any of the thefts.
On last Wednesday night and
early Thursday morning four houses
were successfully entered and prop
erty stolen, and attempts were made
to gain entrance into thirteen other
homes, all in practically one block in
Seventeenth avenue In each instance
entrance was made by cutting the
wire screens in windows.
Captain Carroll is of the opinion
that the work in Seventeenth avenue
was the work of an amateur, though
the other robberies reported in Sey-
mour avenue, Bigelow street, Belmont
avenue and other sections of the sur
rounding territory are believed to
have been accomplished by a profess
| sional.
The detectives working on the case
are under the direction of Lieuten-
| ants Horter, Ryan and Farrell.
