Young Men to the Front.

A very valuable suggestion has
been made, that the older members
should not monopolize the official
positions in the Order. The younger
men should be given a chance to
prepare themselves for carrying on
the work their elders have done 80
long, and for assuming the burdens
of office now borne by the veterans.
The younger members should be en-
couraged to take an active part in
Lodge meetings. They will find the
Lodge-room an excellent training
school for many of the requirements
of good citizenship. BY participa.
ting in the discussions and business
affairs of the Lodge, they will ac.
quire confidence and experience that
will prove of great value in public
life. Let the young men go to the
front.

or Great Importance.

The Importance of conscientious
body of Medical Examiners to fra.
ternal beneficiary organization can.
not be overestimated. One of the
vital conditions for the successful
existence of any such body is that
the risks taken shall be good. 1t
should be only after most careful
examination of the standing of a
physician that he should be appoint
ed. 1t is a well-known fact that in
certain sections it is possible to be
admitted into full membership in
certain Orders by undergoing hard
ly more than verbal examination
Frauds are thus being perpetrated
constantly, and the life OF well
founded and well-managed fraternal
Orders is being menaced. The
remedy for this is frequent in
spection by the Supreme Examiner
of the work Of Subordinate Kxarni
ners in the sections where large
growth is shown Sovereign Wis

Eighteen Deaths.

The Grand Recorder has received
notice of three deaths in the men,
bership of the Order for this month.
They are Eli johnson, of Lake View
Lodge No. II; w. J. Smith, of Alpha
Lodge No. 1, and w. J. Edwards, of
Gold Hill Lodge No. 2. This makes
eighteen death losses in this Juris-
diction for the current year, and
will necessitate calling upon the SUI
preme Relief Board for the sum of
about $4,000. Under the new Classi-
fed Assessment Plan twelve assess
ments cun be levied in year, after
which the payment of death losses
must be paid by the Supreme Relief
Board. The fiscal year ends Decem-
Der Ist, so there are but six weeks
more in this year. With good luck,
which means no more deaths from
now until December Ist, the above
amount will be all that the Supreme
Relief Board will be called upon to
pay. This will be something like
$1,000 less than was called for last
year; $1,000 less than was called for
in 1895, and about $4,000 less than
was called for in 1894, which shows
that the death rate is gradually de-
creasinp.

The Life OF the lodge.

Do you appreciate the fact that the
limitations are the life of the Lodge?
A Lodge that goes along for months
without an initiation becomes as
dead as door-nail. The members
lose interest, there are scarcely
enough present to fill the chairs and
everything is at a standstill. They
Just manage to retain their Charter
and that is about all.
We have in mind a Lodge in this
Jurisdiction, which has been insti
tuted over year. and has not added
one new member since. Do you
wonder that five of it's members
dropped out? We said above that a
Lodge that does not have constant
limitations stands still; it does worse
it retrogrades.
Every member initiated infuses
new life into the Lodge. Take live
Lodge III which the Brothers are
pulling together in unity, and striv.
ing to get new members, and where
they have impressive limitations
every meeting night, and you will
find full representation present tc
carry on the business of the Lodge
The knowledge that the Lodge is
making new accessions, and the re
minder of the obligations taken on
joining, will make better members
of those attending, and they will
endeavor to be present at every
meeting.
We have been in some Lodges
where the newly initiated Brother
has been shaken hands with Imply
and then he sat down and remained
alone all the rest of the evening
He was not urged to come again.
Give the new member a hearty
welcome.-DeLatOare Workman.

WHAT Is PATERNALIsMe
Word as Applied to Postal Savings
Banks-Teaching Independence.

Word as Applied to Postal Savings
Banks-Teaching Independence.
When opponents of postal savings
banks have no other objection to
offer to the establishment of the sys-
tenn in the United States they take
refuge in the assertion that it is
"paternalistic," assuming that such
a declaration establishes their POSI-
ton.
The inde6niteness of the term
paternalism does, indeed, make it
difficult to attack the position of
those who hide behind its protect
ing shadow. All government is and
must be in a sense paternalistic.
Therefore the only consistent oppo-
nent of paternalism in all its forms
is the anarchist, and it is notable
that among the comments on the
Records postal savings bank bill
by workingmen and trade unionists
the only opposition expressed was
by few men of avowedly anar-
chistic notions of government.
When the state undertakes to pro-
tect its citizens from violence and
theft it is in sense paternalistic.
All the things which the govern
ment undertakes to do for the bene-
fit of the people might be called
paternalistic. The public schools,
the fire department, the postoffice,
are all paternalistic institutions,
yet without them people would be
lacking in important elements of
civilization.
Generally the term paternalism
is taken to imply offensive activity
in looking out for the supposed in
terests of the people and in regula-
ting their affairs on the part of a
government that is outside of and
above the people. In the United
States the government is the people,
and is engaged in carrying out their
will The attempt of a free and
self-governing people to use their
government for the fostering of
helpful institutions is cooperation,
not paternalism. The value of the
latter term as catch phrase in op-
position to the postal bank system
consists in insinuating into it GER
tain notions of autocratic rule which,
have no place in this country.
Paternalism implies dependence.
The object of the establishment of
postal savings banks in the United
States is the very reverse of this.
The effect of the system would be to
develop self-reliance and independ-
ence.-Chicago Record.

R The Jurisdiction of Californ

was recipient of aid from the Re

probably place her beyond the need
of relief. If the Classified Plan can
work so marvellous a result as this
it must be very good plan.

en- the following tests: He was
given smell of musk and at the
end of two hours returned to his
master with a musk rat. The Sec
ond trial was by far the most diff
cult. A man lost his fine poodle

He was given a sniff of the poodle's
collar. He started off and wound

Hand to Carry the South
in 1898.

Under the leadership of Paul Wander
wort, of Omaha, accommodating chief of
the q. A. R., and president of the National
Reform Press Association. there is being
planned great Populist colonization
scheme for Texas. Mr.. Vandervoort has
been in Texas for time and has secured
control of a tract of thousands of acres
of fertile land on the coast that is to be
cut up into small lots and sold to Popu-
list emigrants for so per acre. The set
tlement is to be made there at once. The
purpose of the proprietors of the scheme
is tc carry il out in other states and get
enough of the Pop" voters there TO carry
II few of the Southern states for Populism
and secure enough state patronage to Keep
the party on its feet and effectually stamp
out the Democratic party, against which
the Pops have conceived a deep hatred.
Mr.. Nandervoort was in the city yester-
day and told Journal reporter of the
plan he had been working on for long
time. He was on his way back from Tex
as. where-he had been completing negotia-
tions for the land. and his success had been
such as to greatly encourage him. rhe
undertaking he declares will be great
success and there will be sufficient emil
grants to carry Texas for Populism at the
next presidential election. He says the
gre0ter number of the Populists from the
Northern states will locate in Texas and
aid in the great colonization scheme.

A NATURALIST IN ALASKA.
Professor Dyche Describes the Char

of Americas Frozen Land.

Professor Lewis Lindsay Dyche, Of the
Kansas State university, was greeted by a
good sized audience at the Central high
school last night. where he lectured on the
subject of 1.-The Campfires of Natural-
list in Alaska" Professor .Dyche gave the
history of his expeditions in an interesting
way.
The lecture was description of scenes,
which were displayed to the audience by
stereopticon views. all of which were taken
by Professor Dyche himself. As view
would be thrown on the. canvas, he would
describe each figure in the picture in such
a manner that, his auditors travelled. in
fancy, over the same territory and through
the same Indian villages, under the direc-
tion of an experienced guide: One picture
was that of the renowned Princess Tom.
Professor Dyche related his interview with
that parsonage, and his difficult task in OBJ
tanning the permission of the princess to
take her picture. He told of his success in
taking her photograph and the fact that
she had placed silver ring on his finger
with the information that "he was her sew
enth husband"
His remarks were closely followed and
his descriptions of Uncle Sans Northern
possession were of the most interesting
character.

MIR. CLARKE, OF KANSAS CITY, HAS
ANOTHER SCHEME.
WANTS A "GRUB" INSPECTOR.
HIS IDEA is TO PREVENT THE SALE
OF ADULTERATIONs.
Scheme Includes the Appointment by
the Governor of n Food Com-
mission and Deputies in All
the Large Cities-Mis-
souri, Legislature.

jefferson City. Mo-, JAN. S0.-(Special9
Representative Clarke, of Kansas City, did
not go home to-day. He remained at the
capital to perfect u bill providing for q
pure food commissioner. This official
would have an office at the state capital,
with deputies in each of the larger cities.
The idea of the measure is to prevent the
adulteration of honey, butter, vinegar, milk,
bread, and, in fact, everything sold by the
butcher, baker and grocer. Mr.. Clarke has
not progressed far enough with his meas
ure to determine how the food commissions
er and his deputies are to be paid. He
thinks, however, by the fee system. An
other plan is to make the duties of this
office portion of the work of the coal oil
inspector, as the latter official is thought
not to do more than thirty days work a
year, for which he gets the second best
salary among the states servants.
Mr.. Clarke, by the way, seems to have a
penchant for legislation to Increase the
governors patronage. The pure food bill
is the second along the line of creating new
state offices that he has introduced. He is
the father of the fire marshal or fire
coroner" bill. Almost all the Republican
members have an idea that the governor
already has enough patronage, and that in
stead of creating new offices, thereby as
sisting in building up the Democratic ma
chine, legislation should be enacted COM
pelling those already III office TO do at least
as much work as one generally expects
from the average messenger boy.
