$1,000 to poor mans family would
probably be as gratefully received

The central idea of the Order is to
do the greatest good to the greatest
number" and we are not doing our
entire duty as members unless we
exhaust every means in our power
to accomplish that end.
Love of home and family is a di-
vine instinct implanted in the hearts
of men, and naturally inspires a de-
sire to protect the loved ones. This
instinct is universal, and throbs as
strongly in the breast of the poor
man as in that of his more fortunate
neighbor.
Let us then give more attention
to our opportunities, and let US en-
deavor to extend the protection of
our Order to the poor among Gods
children.-Rocky Mountain Work

PuhIic Confidence

The following extract from an
address made by Past Grand Master
Workman Bicknell, of Pennsylva-
MIA, at great public meeting held
in Pittsburg, is commended to the
attention of readers of the Protector:
"We challenge the confidence of the
public today with a record absolute
ly the most glorious, relatively the
most successful and for the short
period of its existence the most pro-
life for good of any society ever de-
vised by the human mind. We are
at the present time cheered in our
efforts and encouraged in our work
because we can proudly point to the
results of the past, and can cite as
our right to exist and our claim for
the support of the public, the record
of our Order in homes saved, wild
ows cheered, orphans encouraged,
families kept together and reared in
rectitude, crime reduced, poverty
and misery dissipated."

The $1,000 Beneficiary Certificate
is a feature of the A. Q. U. w. which
does not receive the attention that
its importance merits. Indeed, it
would seem that the members at
large are not aware that such an op-
portunity exists, and, as a result, ex-
cellent material is allowed to slip
through their fingers.
Plenty of good, honest men, physi-
cally qualified and otherwise eligible
to membership, are eager to secure
some means of protection for their
families, and it is only the doubt OF
their ability to meet the assessments
that prevents them from taking out
a $4,000 certificate in the A. Q. U. w
If we would urge them, however
to unite with us and secure a SI,oot
certificate, it is almost moral GER
tainty that many would join oul
ranks who otherwise would be de
barred for purely financial reasons
absolutely beyond their control. Th'
$4,000 certificate should first be offer
ed, but if the prospective candidate
is doubtful of his ability to success
fully carry that amount, the SI,oo

]. G.. Johnson, President of the
National Fraternal Congress, paid
the fraternal press some high COM
pliments in his annual report, and
among other things, said:
"In science, commerce, politics, lit
erature and religion, the press is the
active, untiring, ceaseless popular
educator, and no, successful organ
izer or leader in any popular move
ment ever loses sight of this power
full lever for influencing public opin-
ion or melting individual effort.
Perhaps there is no great popular
movement which recognizes this
fact more fully than the one which
this Congress represents. This is
proven by the fact that there is
scarcely a society, small or great,
young or old, weak or powerful, but
which operates and controls, either
directly or indirectly, periodical
publication of some nature, devoted
to it's interests, and intended to reach
and influence those who are already
members, as those whose member
ship is desired.
The very nature of these societies
renders such publications an almost
indispensable part of their machin-
cry. The great bond which unites
the thousands of scattered units of
membership into the powerful whole,
if expressed in one word, is "cont-
dence." This confidence is always
promoted by full and satisfactory in
formation, and the best, if not the
only means of conveying this intor-
nation, from management to mem
bership, fully and frequently, is
through the medium of an official or
gan, and much of the success of any
of our successful societies can be di-
rectly traced to the intelligence and
wisdom which has directed the one
or more journals which are publish
ed in its interests.
Aside from the strictly official or
gans published by our societies, there
are many other journals to which
our system owes much. The indie
pendent publications. within certain
societies representing no jurisdiction
and bound to no interest, but devoted
to the good of the Order in all its
parts, and standing like sentinels on
the wall to give warming of impend-
ing danger. All of these various
journals have strong claims upon
the sympathy and support Of every
well-wisher of fraternity within and
without this Congress.

The Time TO Assist.

To assist a Brother in time of need
is one of the obligations of the Order.
Mutual help, traternal regard, broth
erly affection, come in the Order
next to consanguineous relationship,
and should be so regarded by all
who assume its obligations; and
those who cannot truly take upon
them such relations should never
enter the Lodge. 1t is because of the
unftness of many who enter it that
the lodge sometimes fails to deal
Justly with the unfortunate, and
thus brings discredit upon the Order.

Suspension Committee.
The Missouri OUerseer says:


For number of years the Penn
sy1vania Jurisdiction has been
known in the Order as high rate
and 'unprosperous Jurisdiction, and
yet while its rates have. been high
and its condition unprnsperous it
has as low a suspension rate as any
Jurisdiction, in the Order. This eff
feet seems anomalous, but it is fully
explained by the further fact that in
Pennsylvania they; maintain a CON-
every lodge, whose business it is to
his assessment, and encourage him
to pay UP. We have recommended
this course to the Lodges in Missouri
time and again. If they would adopt
it they would find it as effective here
as in Pennsylvania, and one of the
best aids they could render the Order.
1t is due to say of Pennsylvania, that
the ,u1iprosperouS conditions OF the
past are now passing away, and tina
Jurisdiction will soon be again IN
the ranks of the most prosperous"
The idea of a suspension commit
tee is an excellent one. 1t is fully as
important for us to retain our old
members as it is to obtain new ones
and very many desirable men can be
saved to the Order if those who be.
come suspended are promptly looked
after by an active and intelligent
committee. 1t may be urged that the
officers of a subordinate Lodge should
look after suspended members, but
the officers have other duties to at.
tend to and a special committee will
ing to work could be very effective.

as a new name for certain Lodge
in this Jurisdiction, on account of
its resemblance to the character

two years, with one exception, and
then it was only because some other
Lodge turned something up for it.

The Outlook.

The present outlook for the A. Q.
u. w. Is most hopeful. California
in twelve short months has made
most marvellous record under the
new plan, net gain of 3,I87 in young
men at the highest rate under the
new plan, or one assessment per
month. The experience of Califor-
MIA demonstrates conslusively that
it is perpetuity and not cheapness
the public is seeking. Wisconsin
has already taken in more members
in nine months than in any year TN
der the level plan since 1879. Ken
lucky, well kentucky has taken in
more new members since january
Ist than she has taken in in fifteen
years under the level plan. Both
Kentucky and Wisconsin in two or
three years will be numbered among
the low rate Jurisdictions.
Pennsylvania, the mother of the
Order, the grand old keystone State,
is slowly but surely waking up.
She made net gain in the first sew
en- month of I88, and during the next
five months will more than double
this number. Ohio has spent nearly
twenty years in the wilderness of
high rates and non-success under the
level plan, and it has taken the mem
bership nearly nine months to catch
a glimpse of the dawn of better
and brighter morning. But they
have seen the light and all are now
moving with renewed courage, as
one man, for new members. Cleve-
land alone is looking after 1000 new
members before January Ist, 1898.
The Empire State has been on the
toboggan so long that it was hard
for the Grand Officers to change the
course. But unless all signs fail
the time has come for New York to
climb up hill again.
Texas, the first Jurisdiction to
adopt classified assessments, shows
a nice gain. Also Louisiana and Ar
kansas have made nice gains, Geor-
gia and Alabama, and Tennessee
both show small losses, but a change
for the better is expected soon.
The most hopeful sign, however, is
in the change of sentiment among
the members and official organs in
Jurisdictions not upon the new plan.
Fifteen Jurisdictions have already
adopted it and are working under it
this month, and the following Juris-
dictions are giving the new plan
study: Michigan, Kansas, Missouri,
Manitoba, North Dakota, Quebec,
MARYLAND, Delaware, West Virginia,
and Indiana. Unless all signs fail
the next few months will show a
marked increase all along the A. Q.
U. w. line from Maine to California.
The Jurisdictions that desire to work
upon the level plan are left undis-
turbed and should show a nice net

Weekly presents the same array of
famous literary names that have
earned for it such deserved distinct
ion among its contemporaries. The
editorials on Cuba and Bimetallism
are scholarly and powerful presen-

The illustrations are particularly
striking, the drawing, by Sonntag,
of the Railroad Disaster near Gar

grim reality. Altogether, this num-

Among the superstitions of the
Seneca Indians was one most beau
tiful one. When a young maid died
they imprisoned young bird until
it first began to try its powers of
song, and then loading it with cares
ses and messages, they loosed its
bonds over her grave, in the belief
that it would not fold its wings or
close its eyes until it had flown to
the spirit land and delivered its
precious burden of affection to the
loved and lost one.-EG.

subject to attacks of Group. Mr..

the timely use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, during severe at
tack, saved his little boys life. He
is in the drug business, a member
of the firm of johnson Bros. of that

patent medicines for throat and
lung diseases. He had all these to
chose from, and skilled physicians
ready to respond to his call, but
selected this remedy for use in his
own family at a time when his
child's life was in danger, because
he knew it to be superior to any
other, and famous the country over
for its cures of Group. Mr.. johnson
