Jubilant editorials are appearing all over the country, rejoicing over the decision of Judge Samuel R. Artman, of the Circuit Court of Boone county, Ind., on eFbruary 13, to the effect that the saloon is so evil an institu tion that the state law licensing it is unconstitutional. The editors express the hope that the Supreme Cwirt of Indiana will uphold the decision, but tho applicant for a saloon license in this case decided to accept his defeat without appeal. To get the matter be fore the Supreme Court, however, It will bo necessary to sta't. new cases, and this the temperance forces of In diana are doing, so that this interest ing decision will eventually be review ed, in substance if not in form, by the higher court. Quoting a sheaf of decisions from the United States Supreme Court and various Stato Supremo Courts In which the evils and miseries due to strong drink are dwelt upon, and quot ing a decision of the Indiana Supreme Court declaring a law permitting . prize-fighting unconstitutional because it was "opposed to tho spirit of the Constitution," Judge Artman main tained that the evil influences of prize fighting "are Insignificant when com pared with tho destructive results of the liquor trafllc," and ho therefore declared: "In view of these holdings, based, as they certainly are, upon good rea son and .sound common sense, it must be hold that the State can not under tho guise of a license delegate to the saloon business a legal existence, be cause to hold that it can Is to hold that the Stato may sell and delegate tho right to make widows and orph ans, the right to break up homes, the right to create misery and crime, the right to make murdorors, the right to produce idiots and lunntlcs, the right to fill orphanages, poorhouses, insane asylums, jails, and penitentiaries, and the right to furnish subjects for tho hangman's gallows. "With due appreciation of the re sponsibilities of the occasion, con scious oi my obligations under my oath to Almighty God and to my fel low man, I can et by a judgment of this court autliorizo ;the grunting of a saloon license, ai)d vtho demurrer to the amended remonstrance is there fore overruled, tho amended reinon stranco Is sustained, and the applica tion Is dismissed at tho cost of the applicant." Tho Home Herald, of Chicago (com bining Tho New Voice and the Hani's Horn,) publishes a ringing editorial on tho decision, probably written by John 0. Wooley, the famous temper ance speaker and writer. It says: "When the American judiciary out laws tho liquor trafllc the liquor in terests may well tremble. Tho prohi bition crusade Is no longer to depend for its support altogether upon the ehurueh nnd temperance oragniza tions. The consicence of the whole nation has been awakened to the fact that the issues are not merely of mor al but of economic consequence, and that tho health, the well-being, and prosperity of this great people are so intimately involved In this problem that tho solution can not be left to chance or the doubtful contest of vested interests and corporation greed with out-and-out reform piinci pies. It Is now apparent that the saloon Is a violation of fundamental law, a menace to public safeiy, and the prolilic mother not merely of drunkenness but a mnltltudo of other crimes, all a source of constant Irrita tion and utterly subversive of good citizenship. The saloon may well look anxiously for arguments when the courts of America nnd tho corpora tions undertake Its annihilation. Tho citadel of tlie rum traffic will have been stormed so soon as the supremo judiciary of tho United Stales shall outlaw the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating drink, and indict brewer and licensed dispenser of a crime against the health and safety of the State."

Encouraging words and a friendly attitude of all persons in the district affected by such a railway are valuable assets and an important part of its capital stock, llio project ors of this enterprise ore not asking for any donations. If they ask a right of way over a $10,000 farm their proposition Is, In effect, to tho farm er: Give us $100 worth of land and in consideration therefor we will make your $10,000 farm worth $20,000. There will be a few men possibly, let us hope very few, who will reason that their refusal to give a right of way will not prevent the construction of the road and that they can get a few dollars for a right of way as well as getting their property doubled in value. It seems that, in order to have every kind and character of a man that it Is possible, for tho human mind to conceive of, It was necessary to create a few such as we have men tioned. Can any one suggest a bettor reason or rather excuse for having them to mar the face of the earth? A railway over the proposed route would add value to practically tho whole of Clackamas county south and east of Oregon City. Even if the pro ducts of a farm were never shipped over the road to develop aim increase in value tho lands of a certain sec-' tion will increase the value of all lands In the vicinity of that section. Transportation facilities bring popula tion and a largo agricultural popula tion means prosperity for the whole county. Those who do not feel like laying out a dollar knowing that two will re turn In Its place at least ought not be grudge this enterprise a kind en couraging word. A little harmony, nue as that, article may be, is wnat wo need In this matter. The next time a knocker coninienr.es on you just analyze him tell him what ho is,, how much he may he expected to benefit the community, how lit tl o his presence Is worth to anybody but him self. Tills sort of a shoulder to shoulder talk helps a fellow some times a fellow that a heart to heart talk doesn't reach at all. If these pro jectors of the Molalla Railroad want, to present us something worth mil lions to the county, in the name of common sense let them proceed en courage them to proceed. District Attorney Henry has created the first situation on record where a board of cit yaldermen wanted to re sign and couldn't. This Is a time when any prophesy as to the presidential outcome is sure to attract attention, and it is far enough from I'.mS to be completely forgotten before the event comes around. i The Kingston earthquake shook Gov. Sweetenham loose, but the San Francisco one seems likely to make Mr. Hnef a fixture. Sluyvesant Fish says "President Hnosevelt absolutely cannot see his own faults." Now isnit that a nice return for the things the President has been doing to Mr. Ilarriman. Scientists announce that a niilk irlvinir tree has been discovered in South America, but It. takes an im- mouse amount of water to make it I 'low.

ANOTHER "POME" . .'Written by a member of St. Pauls. . Guild In 1907, at the beginning of Lent, When poor little Mary all her nionoy had spent In paving church dues and bnving of pills, To cure her of Grippe, and a few other Ills, The vote of the Guild was that each member must earn Or save, a dollar in tho Guild fund to turn, At the annual meeting April the first, , which 'would help some debts of the rarish to burst. Poor Mary thought sadly, "Now what can I do To earn my dollar. I've nothing to save, that's true, And my sister has the same task, too, poor thing, So I cannot expect her any help to bring. No I must find some way to do this myself, And think how I can earn that amount of pelf. I do hope' that the "Fool-Killer" with club may come by Before tho first day -of April draws nigh, And I lie the first victim That would be fine. Then no dollar to send to tho Guild Fund of mine. But I can't count on that, so be ready I must At the proper time to "projuce" the dust. Have sold heaps of bottles to "Hunt ley's Drug store." So can't try that little game any more. Must think up something more mort em than that. Wonder if I can mortgage my Persian cat? Am afraid that plan Is impossible, too, And I should bate to part with poor old True. Now if this Mary only "had a little lamb," She miKht sell tho wool, or chops, or a ham And thus earn enough in a right easy way That great big dollar to the Guild to . pay. Alack and alas "J'is hard to be poor With scarcely enough to keep the wolf from th door. But stay Can t'lis be a rush of brains to the head? Or a streak of'sense,' by much think ing bred? Which shows me so clearly what I can do To save that dollar so bright and new. I'll don a jumper and overalls, And mend tho fences in spile of squalls. I can saw trens as well as most men - I know I can do it. I am sure I can. At. the end of t ho week I can truly say I have saved the wages I'd have had to pay To some man, who, while pretending to work Was drawing bis wages, but proving a shirk, And when at lust I have done my "stunt" I will haul in my dollar with "Nary a grunt."

State Lecturer Thompson of Maine Outlines Lecturer's Duties. From the excellent report of Stale Secretary Thompson to the Maine state fraugo we make the following extract: The lecturer's duiy in the grange Is to direct the literary ami educational work. Since the social and educational benefit Is the chief end and aim of the wrk of our Order tho lecturer's work is of " pormiuieut importance. While suggestions and systems and direc tions may be of aid to the lecturer, yet tho success of the programme largely depends upon his personal interest and enthusiasm In having it carried out. We should never forget that the chief value of this work is not in the enter taining feature, but in the work doue by the members. V paper written ou some subject Is much better than a reading or a discussion. The two common methods employed by the lecturers la directing their work are: First To prepare and read the pro gramme at one meeting of the succeed ing meeting. This has its advantages, and many lecturers get excel lent re sults from this method and prefer It to any other. Second. To furnish printed pro grammes for the j ear, prepared cither by the lecturer or, better, by a pro gramme committee. This Is by far the better method, especially when sup plemented by work of the lecturer from meeting to meeting, by seeing that'parts that cannot be- taken are filled by others and that members are notified of their parts. While individual lecturers may fall to prepare highly beuetlciol pro grammes and while Individual granges may for the time being run to weeds by directing too large a proportion of their energy In money making schemes, games for amusement or light entertainment, yet this kind of work is tho rare exception and not the rule In Maine. MASTERS' CONFERENCE. Some Questions Considered That Are Worth While. A masters' conference was called for Feb. 1 under the auspices of the Am herst (Mass.) grange, of which Profess or F. A. Waugh of the 'college Is mas ter. Among the' ipicstions discussed were the following: QUESTIONS OF ailAXOB ADMINIS TRATION. How can we secinv butter attendance at grange meetings'.' How . can we linpruve the ritualistic work In our subordinate granges? Can we do something more than we have yet done to familiarize our members with g:ood parliamentary practice? Should the grunge si ck to add to Its membership persons who lire not Inter ested in agriculture? What special service should past mas ters render In subordinate granges? QUESTIONS OF PUBLIC SERVICE. What specific tldngs can our sabor 'dlnato granges do to Improve tho agri culture In our towns? Can our granges undertake to promote any practical reforms In the various towns such, for instance, as village Im provement, enforcement of the liquor law, etc. Is It practicable for the local granges In any way to co-operate with the churches toward the solution of any spe cific problems In civic betterment? Can the subordinate granges co-operate with one another In nny way to secure the beni'IHs of district nursing for their own members or for others? Can tho grange, co-operate with the school authorities toward the Improve ment of our schools? Shall we do any thing toward the establishment of school ganiens? Shall wo favor other forms of agricultural teaching In our country schools ? If so, what? Can tho grange help In the Improve ment of town libraries? Should we and can we secure more agricultural and rural books for our local libraries? Can tin subordinate granges organize reading courses for their members? If so, how can they be conducted? These are all Intensely practical imostious for discussion In any confer ence, Pomona or subordinate grange meeting, and wo eouuneud their con sideration to all lecturers who may read them here. ' Growth In Massachusetts. The Springliehl (Mass.) Union speaks editorially as follows concerning the growth of the Order In that stato, which, it says, has broken oil records: "It now has L'tU subordinate lodges ami over Ul.ooti members lu the state. Per haps the most notable feature of all Is the wide range of activities In which the members engage. Started primarily, to advance the Interests of the farms, there Is scarcely u worthy cause that this organization does not engage lu. In tills way Its membership has come to embrace not only farmers nnd their women folk, but many city residents. Tho state lecturer suys that the best citizenship of the state is enlisted In Its ranks, and who can dispute him? The records show that LOOS dlscua- I ulcus were had during the year, par ticipated lu by .",7-1") members, besides essays, readings, music and other fea tures of the grange programmes. Grange Insurance. At the recent meeting of the Grange Fire Insurance Company of Xew Hampshire It was reported that the company had l..'!:M risks, amounting to $l.7i2.2'Hi; policies In force.. 4.172, amounting to $."i,sST,r,.,:t.54.
