be kept out of partisan politics. Let it be
the educator of the people on economic
thought, and trust them and their patriotism
and judgment for the result.
2. would recommend that the Congress
siOnal lecture system as promulgated by
the executive board be put into active Oper-
alton. I am satisfied that their ideas upon
this question are correct, and great good
will surely come to the order. hope this
national body will take immediate and
effective action in this matter, and place
the system on a solid basis.
3. l would recommend that the work of
the national lecturer be thoroughly system
atized. It would make his labor more
effective and less annoying. If few meet
ings in each state could be held at conven-
lent points, thoroughly advertised in ad-
vance, at which all lecturers were required
to attend, information in regard to the con-
dition of the Alliance, it's needs and require
ments could be easily and correctly OBJ
tanned, and the president or executive COM
mittee could be informed of the exact
status of affairs. This information OBJ
tanned in such manner would be of great
service in conducting the business of the
order. In connection with this desire to
urge upon this council the great need of
Alliance literature among the brethren. If
our aims and purposes are ever accomplish
ed, if we succeed in bringing about the re-
forms which we demand, it will be through
the influence of education.
4. l would recommend that more atten-
tion be given to cooperative enterprises.
It is necessary that these adjuncts be fos-
tered and cared for. The tendency of all
such ventures is to unity and instruct the
brethren in regard to the benefits and
power of concerted action. There are
many methods of furthering this idea
which will leave to the wisdom Of this
council without other comment
In conclusion, / desire to bear witness to
the zeal, integrity and earnsstness Of the
officials of this order with whom heGE
been associated, and tender them my thanks
for their uniform kindness and courtesy.
desire also to acknowledge my deep sense
of obligation to the brethren who have 30
and Loyalty assisted me in the
discharge of my labors. To one and all let
me say, believe if we continue TO labor as
in the past, forgetting self and looking for
the general good, that the day is not far
distant when happier conditions will come
to the people. j. F. Willis,
Lecturer.
