March ii, 1873
ED. CHIEF All true Masons who have become
such from higher motive than the simple personal
benefits they gather from it in their business,
shrink from all discussion and bandying of Masonry
in the public prints and they intensely disgust
ed when they such discussion precipitated and
carried on by one who calls himself Mason in the
effort to bring the fraternity to his aid and protection
in personal wrangie for which he is himself as
much responsible his antagonist, say the least
and which antagonist is not Mason, and there
fore not amcnable to the rules and usages of the
craft Within the past few weeks have read in
the BaetiH proposition to take the petition of the
esitor of the Chief into the Lodge, and threat to
black ball him, in his name was taken. Both of
these propositions, the editor of the Bulletin ought to
know, are palpable violations of the time-hOnored
teachings and practices of Masonry. To say that
they were mere bantering, does not help the matter
1t is subject that discreet Masons do not Jest upon
much less make public threats against man who
has never asked for admission into the order. 1t is
taught that shall not solicit persons to become
members and it is fragrant violation of the rules of
the order to announce or threaten black-ball. If
the editor of the Bulletin desires the countenance or
even the respect of Masons, let him cease bringing
Masonry into ridicuic and contempt, as he is con-
stantly doing. Keep your sign out of the columns of
paper and try to deserve support in the
approved by good Masons-eara it, not beg for it /;
and do not threaten your opponent with the VEN
geance of the entire Masonic craft every time he gets
ahead of you for it is barely possible that you do
not own Masonry, and cannot control it.

that born in treachery, firstly to envege into its
clutches many of the Republican party possible,
then to secure much possible, or perhaps the
whole of the County printing, and finally to turn
over to the Democratic party. and its treachery
would be complete Bat alas for human hopes
The editor himself was too well known. Those who
knew him well. knew him to their disgust, as there
was no honor or honesty in him to be relied on.
