NOTES FROM THE LODGE ROOMS.
Of Pythias-I. o. o. F.-The Red Men
Legion of the Red Cross.

From The Knights Of Honor, bright fro
ternal publication issued in Louisville, KY,
are taken in part the following sketches Of
three prominent southern Knights of Honor.
While Hon George W. Griffiths, of Louis
vile Lodge No. 2, occupies no high lodge
position, it can be verify said that there are
few more popular Knights of Honor. He is
an alderman and physician. He was born
in Great Britain in 1874, and came to Amer
lea in early boyhood and studied medicine,
graduating from the university with honoFs.
When the war between the states began he
entered the Union army and served as SUI
geon with distinguished success. After tho
war he remained in Louisville.
In the early days of the Knights of Honor
he joined the order, becoming a member of
Louisville lodge No. 2, in 1876, and has been
a true Knight always. He served in the
school board and board Of aldermen for years
and much of the time has been president of
the board He has also been director in
several other important boards and trustee
Of Louisville university.
Few members of the order are as favorably
known in Kentucky or the south as Chancel-
lor L W. Edwards, past dictator of Golden
lodge, No 1, of Louisville. He was born
Sept. 49, 1892, in Virginia, and came in early
boyhood to Kentucky.
He was educated at Georgetown college,
admitted TO the bar in 1855, appointed vice

A correspondent of the Montpelier

cent excellent appointment of Hon.
Loveland Munson of this village.
1.-THE recent appointment of Hon. Love-
land Munson of Manchester as assistant
judge of our supreme court is most ad-
mirable. He il a man of the highest
personal character, of solid legal attain
ments and impartial, judicial tempera-
ment. None the less to his praise, he
has never been self-Seeking politician
or kept a horde of hired retainers con-
stantly wire pulling in his interest. This
is an ideal selection, and Governor Dill
bingham is truly to be congratulated on
his excellence. But the governor ought
also to be congratulated on the discovery
of some new territory in our political
geography, namely the county of Ben
nington. For we of the republican party
in central and northern Vermont have
scarceley had occasion to know that
Bennington county was to be considered
when political or judicial honors were
the subject of distribution. Except Hi
land Hall, who served as governor from
'58 TOGO, and A. B. Gardner, who was

nobody from that county during the
whole existence of the republican party
has ever held single one of the five
chief offices in the gift of the state, either
that Of governor, lieutenant-governor
judge of the supreme court, United
States senator or representative in con-
gress. And that, too, while other coun-
ties, particularly those on the west side
of the mountain line, have been liber-
ally remembered in the partition of poll
teal favors.
The respective tenures these severa
counties have enjoyed in highest officia

United States senator-are these; Rut

toms tenure expired more than a score

lated as having rediscovered long for.

these historic facts and figures must pro-
woke the eager query; What has affected
the soil and atmosphere of Bennington

tical blight Has she grown no congress
sional or gubernatorial timber during
all these years? Or was she without
political log-rollers or sufficient skill and
strength to bring the commodity into
market" We have plenty of timber for
officers, but, like Judge Munson, they
let the office seek the man.
