NTASHINGToN. Sept. 10
Wv The exposition to be held
at San Francisco In 1915
will be an international affair to
celebrate the completion of the
Panama Canal.
1t is an event Of world wide
significance and Importance. The
United States undertook the her
culean task and carried 1t to COM
pletion, not only for the benefit
our citizens would derive here
from, but in a broad and humani-
tartan sense, to aid the commerce
and Intercourse of the whole
world.
The minor differences at pres
ent existing in connection with
the rate of charges through the
canal should not interfere with
any nation participating in the
celebration of this great achieve
ment. Especially has it been
disappointing to see that Germany
has refrained thus far from par
ticipating in this great exposi-
ton.
We have a large commerce with
Germany, consisting alike of i'm
ports and exports. The very large
trade between these two nations
is profitable to both. The increase
Of this commerce both in selling
and buying will be Of mutual ad-
vantage.
Everything should be done to
promote this increased commerce.
II is believed the present reduc-
ton of tariff duties will benefit
both the United States and Ger
many. It would seem to me a
wise policy on the part OF the
Government of Germany when
the United States, through great
reduction of custom duties, is in.
Wiling Increased trade and COM
merce with all nations, to avail
Itself of the opportunity to share
In this increase between this
country and other Nations.
In addition to these material
advantages accruing alike to both
countries, there is a strong senti-
mental reason why we would be
especially pleased at German par
tlcipation in this exposition. We
have among our best citizens
many Germans and descendants
of Germans, who will always en-
tertain affectionate feelings for
the Fatherland.
1t would be gratifying to this
large class OF our citizens to have
Germany take a prominent place,
a place where she belongs, in this
great exposition and the celebra-
ton of the completion Of a won
derful waterway through which
the ships of Germany in the flu
ture will pass.

therefore more significant than
any such invitations have ever
been in the past, and gives more
than ordinary promise of the re-
suits which such gatherings are
designed to promote.
/ know OF no country to which
this peculiar situation should ap-
peal with greater force than Ger
many. allied to US by ties OF blood
and years Of unbrOken friendship,
the established position of the
Germans in the worlds commerce
and art causes US to look to them
for much that makes such an oc-
casion profitable and memorable.
They are master minds in the
control Of the machinery OF com
merce and stand In the front rank
Of the arts and sciences. I shall
be much disappointed il Germany
should officially decide not to be
represented at the exposition.

Photographic Process Brings out

Special Gable to The American.


PARIS, Sept. 27-Rembrandts,
Michael Angeles, Murillos and the
works of the worlds greatest painters
seem TO be hidden in every corner OF
the earth. Why these great masters
of the brush should have stored their
chef-d'oeuvres in caves and grottoes,
only to be discovered centuries after
their death, is a mystery.

w TAsHINGTON, Sept. 20
wv The new tariff law is ex-
pected to pass the Con-
gress Saturday and to be signed
by President Woodrow Wilson on
that day, so that its provisions
for lower duties on manufactured
articles may go into effect Mon
day
Dye colors, of which over $780,
100000 are used in the industries
of the United States, will be
placed on the free list, and II is
thought most of these products
will hereafter be imported from
Germany instead of being manu-
featured here.
The bill reduces the duties on
nearly all articles in use by the
American people and increased
importatiOns from foreign coun-
tries are expected to follow the
passage OF the bill.
The bill repeats all treaties now
existing between this country and
European nations from whom the
United States now enjoys favored
nation treatment The bill pro-
vides only one level of duties,
President Wilson being author
ICED to impose by proclamation
higher duties against any Gov
eminent which discriminates
against the United States.
1t contains notification to
foreign countries of the desire of
the United States to negotiate
new treaties and each nation is
asked to maintain the status quo
as to duties now existing for the
next four months, at the end of
which time new agreements will
be entered into. There is some
criticism by American statesmen
against this program on the
ground that American exporters
are not sufficiently protected

The National Grange is now APP

idea of the organization originated IN
the mind of o. II. Kelley, man OF
New England birth, who went to Min
nesota in his early manhood and be-
came a farmer In 1864 he was APP
pointed clerk in the Department OF
Agriculture at Washington Two years
later he was commissioned by Isaac

for the purpose of obtaining statistical
and other information In regard to
the condition Of the South. While trav-
cling i'm this capacity the thought of a
secret society of agriculturists for the,
protection and advancement of their
interests came to him.
Soon after returning to Washington
ha consulted several men with whom
he was associated, and as a result of
these Investigations and consultations
the basis Of the organization was laid
