Soon the time for decisive action will be here. Be ye ready. * * * * # * We submit the following from our declaration of purposes: “We emphati¬ cally’ and sincerely assert the oft repeated truth taught in our organic law, that the Grange—national, state or subordi Date __ is cofc a political or party organi nation. No Grange, if true to its obli gations, can discuss partisan or sectarian questions, nor call political conventions, Eor noin j na te candidates, nor even dis cuss their merits in its meetings. “Yet the principles weJteach underlie ~ all true politics, ail and if-properly carried out wi!i purify the whole political aunoqn.c our country. “We acknowledge tap broad priueti that difference cf opinion is no ei-iu: and hold that ‘progress toward truth i. made by differences of opm; a,’ while ‘the fault lies in bitterness of contro versy.’ equality, equity, “We desire a proper and fairness; protection for the weak; restraint upon the strong; in short, justly distributed burdens and justly distributed power. These are American ideas, the very essence of American in dependence, and to advocate the con trary is unworthy of the sons anddaugh ters of an American republic. “Ws cherish the belief that sectional ism is, and of right should he, dead and buried with the past. Our work is for the present and future. In our agricul tural brotherhood and its purposes we shall recognise no north, no south, no east, no west. “It is reserved by every patron, as the right of a freeman to affiliate with any party that will best carry out his pnn ■ * * * » # It will be observed that the words “in his own party” have been stricken out. It was thought when the declaration waa adopted that if patrons could do this ia their own party that it would accom plish the purpose. When it wa 3 discov ered that the language was misconstrued, the words were stricken out. It is not the purpose of the Grange to keep the members in any party or drive them out, nor does the Grange seek to prevent the formation of new parties. Each and every member is free to act with any party now in existence or to act in forming new parties. But the Grange as a farmer organization, com posed of members of ali parties, will not discriminate for or against any of them, but will earnestly urge all farmers to use their political power to protect the interests of all classes and defeat any candidate or party that discriminates against or fails to do justice to farmers. The farmer is a foci who will not so use his power. We believe that the ex isting organizations will prove effective fool killers by educating the average farmer in his privileges and duties as a citizen, and may God speed the day of organization. Maryland Alliance. State Secretary Campbell Jenltins writes about the Maryland Alliance and says: “The Alliance in Maryland is mov¬ ing steadily ahead. With 60 per cent, of its population in the cities and large towns, its contiguity to the national cap¬ ital, and averaging more platie hunters to the acre than any other state, Mary¬ land has presented an uninviting field for the work. In the face of these ob¬ stacles the organization has been pushed forward.” Dming the year since the Ocala meet¬ ing the membership has more than doubled, and only one sub-Alliance has forfeited its charter during the two years of the organization’s existence. At the state meeting last August pro¬ vision was made for a paid lecture sys¬ tem. The newly elected lecturer has been actively engaged, with the result of a large increase in membership since that time. ^ We are not very well supplied with re¬ form papers, but those we have are of the fighting kind, and are making them¬ selves felt. The party leaders, having discovered that the Alliance is some thing substantial, which is not likely to be turned from its purpose by sophistry or ridicule, are hedging wonderfully. They have found out that there is a world of strength in the demand for “the subtreasury or something better. ” Their for all evils is to vote “the ticket” straight, but there are some here who, like that Kansas brother, are will mg to believe the leaders of both old parties when they each declare the others to lie responsible for the present evils.

Surely she might steal down stairs. She rose noiselessly and sneaked to the door. “Mamma!” murmured a drowsy voice. “WeH?” V “How—does—he make—the calves?” —Chicago Tribune. Pocksniff of Bonn. At Bonn I went to the table d’hote, as I could not otherwise get anything to eat, and I had nothing but some bread ail day. I sat next to an old gentle¬ man, enormous, and gobbling like a giant. He entered into talk and told me be lived in Bonn, but came to the table d’hote because the food wars not good enough at home that day; also that he studied theology. Did I study theology? I said, “No, never.” Whereupon the old glutton looked at ine over a mountain of roast goose and cherries, and said, with his mouth full, but with the sternness of a St. Francis or a St. Simon, “Do you mean that you think of nothing but your material comforts?” 1 , who wu 3 sinning soda water and eating dry lUiJGGVGGUAGG thy in Black and White.
