Equity Society
We, the undersigned committee,
appointed by the County Union, F. S.
E., by virtue of a certain resolution,
to confer with the County Court in
regard to F. S. E. using the Court
House rooms for meetings; met with
the court May 8, and we submit tho
following:
Judge Beatie stated that he was in
favor of either opening the court
house to all organizations of general
interest, or to close it to all; that
there should not be any discriminat
ion, The question of whether or not the
Equity Society should be given the
use of the court house, when the court
rooms were not otherwise engaged,
was put to a vote of the Court, Judge
Beatie and Commissioner Blair voting
in the affirmative and Commissioner
Matoon against. Mr. Matoon voted in
the negative on the ground that this
action of the Court would open the
court house to everything.
. The county court asked the Equity
committee to take this matter up in
detail with the several Equity locals
of the county, explaining the position
the court was placed in this matter,
and that they believe if the position
of the Court was more fully under
stood, there would be less criticism.

The American suffragists, when they
learned of Miss Asqulth's Intention of
coming here, immediately prepared a
big reception for her. It was their pur
pose to have Miss Asqulth definitely
espouse suffrage.
Miss Asqulth cume to notice first
when quite a child. She was brides
maid at her father's second marriage
to Margot 'Pennant. When William
Watson wrote the poem "The Woman

generally accepted that Miss Asqulth
was the one aimed at. A bitter con
troversy arose between the friends of
each, and Miss Asqulth declared the
animosity of Mr. Watson arose out of
bis chagrin over the refusal of ber
father to recommend him for a literary
pension and knighthood.

Reports of Secretary Show Many New
Granges Organized Order I Finan
cially Strong New Legislation Con
servative and Helpful to Agriculture.
The forty-sixtb annual session of the
national grange concluded Its meetings
In Spokane, Wash., on Nov. 22. There
wer twenty-nine of the thirty grange
states of the Dnlon represented, Ken
tucky's delegates being detained by ill
ness. The secretary reported that 472
new granges bad been organized the
past year and about thirty reorgan
ized. The financial condition of the
Order is strong, there being about
1100,000 to the credit of the Order in
current and invested funds.
The legislation of the forty-sixth ses
sion was comprehensive, conservative
and rational. Among the more Impor
tant public questions discussed and
resolutions acted upon were the follow
ing:
To appoint a committee to confer with
President Elect Woodrow Wilson about
the appointment of a capable representa
tive of farming Interests as secretary of
agriculture; asking that any revision of
our banking laws shall be made In the In
terest of the people and not the money
lenders; asking the state granges at their
annual meetings to urge the ratification
by the legislatures of the amendment to
the constitution providing for the elec
tion of United States senators by direct
vote; opposing the granting of public
franchises for the enrichment of the poor
at the expense of the people and to the
alienation of public lands except for legit
imate purposes; favoring the conservation
of all natural resources, publio lands, wa
ter power, coal lands, mineral deposits,
etc.; opposing the transportation of Intox
icating liquors Into states and districts
where their manufacture is prohibited by
law; Indorsing the Page-Wilson vocation
al education bill. In the matter of co
operation uniform co-operation laws In
the several states were advocated, and
the Wisconsin law was referred to as
desirable model. A special committee was
authorized to study and summarize the
results of various Investigations conduct
ed by congress and other reliable sources
concerning the manipulation of stocks and
bonds whereby nearly all manufactured
articles cost the consumer many times
the necessary cost of labor and material.
The committee on agriculture favored the
Immediate repeal of the Canadian reci
procity law, opposed the Lever oleomar
garine bill, demanded the enactment of a
law to prevent the fraudulent sale of but
ter substitutes by prohibiting their man
ufacture and sale when containing a high
er shade of yellow than that produced by
the admixture of 65 per cent pure white;
also laws for the protection of insect eat
Ing birds were recommended.
The committee on forestry recommend
ed that the federal government locate
army camps throughout the national for-
est reserves for the accommodation of a
patrol system, this patrol to be taken
from the standing army. They also fa
vored organized co-operation between na
tlon, state and county for the prevention
of forest fires.
Regarding postal Improvement, the com
mittee thought the time had not yet come
for penny postage. They recommended
that the deposits in postal savings banks
be loaned out to farmers at a little higher
rate than Is paid by the banks. The com
mittee favored the postal express plan of
Congressman Lewis.
The committee on good roads favored co
operation between nation, state and coun
ty, each state working out the most feasl
ble and practicable system of road build.
Ing. The committee also favored national
aid for road construction.
Among other resolutions adopted were
these: Urge legislative bodies to legalize
and protect co-operative enterprises in the
interests of producers and consumers and
demand a publio audit of such enterprises
similar to that now made of batiks or In
surance companies. They urged legisla
tion to exclude undesirable Immigration
and recommended an Increase of the head
tax and the enactment of an Illiteracy
test; also favored placing fines upon for
eign steamship companies for bringing
undesirables. The Newlands river regu
lation bill was favored, to the end that
all regulation projects be treated as units
from the source to the mouth, and urged
laws curbing the growth of water power
monopolies.
Mr. C. 8. Stetson was elected to the ex
ecutive committee to succeed S. H. Mes
slck. New Hampshire was chosen as the
place of the next meeting of the national
grange:
Action on a resolution that was referred
to a special committee at the last annual
session of the national grange "as to the
adoption of some plan whereby the rank
and file of the membership of the Order
could secure such control over the acts
of the national grange, its constitution
and bylaws as the members may desire."
The committee believe! that under the
present rules It "Is now possible for the
membership In each state to have and to
exercise direct control over the doings of
this body" by ascertaining the sentiment
of the subordinate granges, which then
should be expressed to the state grange
meeting, and the state grange, through
Its delegates to the national grange, could
make known Its wishes on the matters In
question. The report caused lengthy dis
cussion and was Anally adopted by a large
majority.
The grange again recorded Its opposi
tion to proportional representation by bo
large a margin of votes as to Indicate
that proportional representation la still a
long way ofT. Another matter that caused
lengthy discussion was disposed of by the
sdoptlon of a resolution to the effect that
member of the Order having charges
preferred against him In the national
grange for offenses against the national
grange or any of Its members shall be
tried by a committee of three, and the
trial shall be held In the Jurisdiction of
the subordinate grange where the accused
resides. The findings of the trial commit
tee are then to be reported to the national
grange.
The committee to confer with President
Elect Woodrow Wilson relative to the ap
pointment of the next secretary of agri
culture consists of National Master Wil
son of Illinois. Professor T. C. Atkeson of
West Virginia and Mr. Richard Pattee of
New Hampshire.

MAKING FRIENDS WITH MAMMON.
Genesis 33:1-15 April 20.
"Be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted,
lorgiving each other, even as Cod also in
Christ forgave you." t'sAcsioiw 4:1s. re. v.
N a previous lesson we saw that
Jacob left his earthly Inheritance
to Esau, claiming only the great
Abrahamic Tromlse. That Prom
ise was In respect to the future, and
was purely of faith. All Jacob's course
In life was governed by that Promise.
If the Seed of Messing was to come
through him, then he must have chil
dren. Hence he married and reared
a goodly family,
regarding them
as identified with
himself In the
Promise. His ac
cumulation of
flocks and herds
was along the
same Hue.
About twenty
years after Jacob
had left borne,
he returned, un
der the Lord's
guidance, with
his flocks, herds and servants, to the
land of his father. Naturally, he felt
a timidity respecting Esau, aud prny
ed to the Lord upon the subject, re
minding Him of the Promise, in which
he trusted. Then he sent word to
Esnu that he wiis coming. Next he
prepared a gift of considerable value
for those times sheep, goats, camels,
cattle and asses.
This gift represented long years ol
toll on Jacob's part. These earthly
things, however, Jacob valued as noth
ing compared with the great Abraham
ic Covenant. He could give this good
ly portion of earthly mammon to pur
chase Esau's good will, although he
HRust under uo obligations to his broth
er. He had purchased the flrst-born's
portion, which Included the major por
tion of Isaac's worldly riches. Jacob
had left these lu Esau's hands. The
Intter might suspect that Jacob was
coming to claim his Inheritance.
Had Jacob laid no claim to the es
tate. Esau would have judged him ac
cording to his own standards, and mis
trusted that at an opportune moment
Jacob would attack him. Thus a feud
won Id have been established between
the two families. This would have
interfered with Jacob's hopes lu con
nection with the Covenant.
Jacob insisted upon Esau's accept
ance of the present. It would stand
as a pledge of good faith between
thorn. Esnu would all the more will
ingly see Jacob's prosperity; for he
realized that be had gotten the better
of his brother, first by getting the pat
rimony, and secondly, by receiving so
rich a present. Evidently Jacob's
course was wise. He still had plenty,
and God could give him more. His
chief concern would be the Abrahamic '
Promise, the fulfilment of which lay
beyoud the present life.
The Lesson of Generosity.
One lesson which we as Christians
may draw from Jacob's course is that
of generosity toward the world those
who have uo Interest in Heavenly
promises. As Jacob was willing to
set aside nil earthly rights and privi
leges in favor of the Abrahamic Prom
ise, so the Spiritual Heirs should do
likewise. v
As Jacob left his father's house,
leaving all to bis brother without con
tention, trusting only to the Heavenly
Promise, so must we Spiritual Israel
ites forsake all earthly hopes, to obtain
Joint-helrshlp with Christ in the Mes
sianic Kingdom. As Jacob gladly gave
presents to Esau for the sake of peace
In carrying out God's arrangements
under this Promise, so we as Chris
tians should willingly give to our part
ners iu life, our neighbors, friends and
brethren, tho larger share of earth's
good things, If thereby we may for
ward the Lord's Cause In connection
with the Abrahamic Promise, in which
we trust.
Mankind have their hearts set upon
earthly good things they know noth
ing higher. Christians, on the contra
ry, appreciate Heavenly things, es
teeming earthly things ns unworthy ol
comparison. We. like St. Paul, esteem
all earthly things but loss aud dross
that we may win Christ that we may
win jolut-helrshlp with .Pesus In the
great blessing of God by becoming
members of the Spiritual Seed of Abra
hum. that we may participate Iu the
glorious work of blessing all the fami
lies of the earth.
