Murray Wade, Portland's clever cartoonist, has just issued a catchy sketch-book of the legislative session of 1903, in which the Oregon lawmakers are shown as Mr. Wade saw them. Representative Gault will be readily rec ognized and beside him appears the Senator from Linn County, the Democrats’ own "M ilt” Miller, by the way, a brother of the Forest Grove pharmacist.

The great success of the grange has been primarily due to the strong edu cational policy that has prevailed. Those in charge of its affairs have re garded the educational feature as the feature of the greatest value and have strengthened the Order by adding to the intelligence of its members. Wheth er this has been attempted through well arranged literary exercises, through the rendition o f ritual work or through a course o f study and reading at home under grange auspices, the re sult has been the same and noticeable in the people connected with any live grange. In no less than four of the New Eng land states the grange has organized and conducts mutual Ore Insurance companies, by which large saving in cost o f insurance Is made by reason of the Inexpensive methods o f operation and the superior class « f risks upon w tich policies are written. While it is true that fnrm risks as a whole are extra hazardous, the property owned by members o f the grange is less haz ardous and can be carried at lower rates than farm property in general, as the experience of these companies has shown. The benefit o f the grange to New Englnnd Is not confined to Its educa tional and financial features. The bene fits derived from its social features are beyond estimate and not only affect the 100,000 members, but as many more people with whom they come la contact. The grange is fitting its mem bers to enter good society with credit to themselves and their calling. Scat tered all over New Englund we find the church, the school and the grange hnll standing side by side and each an • important factor in any community. They are often referred to as the trin ity of New England. Probably the grunge in New Englund will in the future exert Its greatest in fluence upon public affairs not by the men nnd women It will fit and place In public positions, but by the quiet work performed In the discussion of public questions In the 1,000 grnnge halls, where more thnn 25,000 meetings are held annually.- Mirror and Farmer.

No grange can live on rituaL Observing the order of business and doing nothing else Is a sure way of killing all enthusiasm and finally de stroying the grange. A programme well considered for the particular needs of a grange should be published before the meeting, and no meeting should be held without having a pro gramme. Each member of a grange should contribute something for the good of the order no matter how poor the sub ject oi how poorly prepared. Eacli one to grow must do something and do it I the best he or she knows how. The master is responsible for the well being of each member, and on him Is the command to see thnt each has work assigned. There is need of trained young men In business, in legislative halls, every where—men who know the needs of the hour, men who can think nnd to a purpose, men who work by system and make every move count for something done. Such training the grange gives to those who study its constitution and rules and who enter into helpful, ac tive grange work. I appeal to you. masters o f subordinate granges, that yon so lay out the work that each may profit by It.—E. S. II. Derby. An A n cien t A LANDMARK AT A POPULAR SUM!
