Haiton's Marrow spirit.

The city of Fulton. which has pre-
tended to manifest such devotion and
appreciation Of the order of Modern
Woodmen Of America, because. as it is
claimed. the now great organization
was born and nursed through the
stage OF infancy there until it has
become . giant, has again evincsd the
narrow disposition which has die
tated its course to throttle the insti-
tuition for which it has alleged SO
much pride and love. Twice has the
order declared its desire TO move its
headquarters from Fulton to q larger
city. and Notwithstanding that at the
last meeting Of the head camp Fulton
stultified itself by going into . con-
test with other cities and was beaten
fairly and squarely, it has continued
to maintain its position that the
head offices must be retained there,
nevertheless. Added to the ex-
pressed preference Of two-thirds of
the delegates to the head camp meet
ing At Madison . year ago. before
which Fulton, like Rock Island and
Peoria, had gone on its merits, and
then had refused to abide the result
as it was in honor bound to do. now
comes the judicial ruling that Fulton
has no standing in court. The
bill Of injunction 10 dismissed after q
long and tedious trial in which the
best legal talent has been employed
on both sides-and yet Fulton is not
satisfied. 1t has appealed the case.
not with any idea Of winning, but
with the simple purpose Of delaying
the inevitable. Fulton's position is
without honor or legal status, and the
disposition manifested cannot fail OF
condemnation at the hands Of all fair
minded people.
II ever great order was justified
in boycotting place the Modern
Woodmen society is warranted in ap-
plying such tactics to the city Of
Fult. n
