Changes In the Scale of Rates-NOtes
of the Order,

Changes In the Scale of Rates-Notes
of the order.
A new scale of rates was unanimously
adopted by the supreme lodge, ranging
from S1.20 for a full rate member at 81
years of age to S. for member 80 years
old and over. The expense assessment
was fixed at 81 60, one-third of the entire
amount paid by each state to be used in
that state for extending the order. The
personal affidavit of good health by a sus-
pended member before reinstatement was
abolished. Many plans for carrying aged
members were disapproved because such
special legislation for the benefit of the
few is forbidden by the laws of many
states and the adoption of such a plan
would bar the order from several impor-
tant states.
The average age of members who died
last year was 55.95.
By the election OF e. q. WOOD as su-
preme trustee Supreme Alternate Paul
Gantert becomes supreme representative
from New York.
The old rates in force last year were
not sufficient to cover deficits. and $780,
900 is still due.
The advisory board has agreed to assist
several states in advancing the order.
There will be one meeting of the advis-
ory board between annual meetings Of
the lodge in the future instead of two.
Hereafter if member dies before the
first of the month in which any portion of
an extra or additional assessment is pay
able his benefciaries are not liable for
payment of same.

Important Decision as to Beneficial
ries-Bench Shavings.
For several years past there has exist
ed a provision for a review of the de-
cisions of the grand master workmen by
the supreme lodge, the object being to
maintain uniformity in the rulings of the
different Jurisdictions. A number of
such decisions were reported on by the
committee on laws ut the recent session.
Among them was one by the grand mas
ter workman of the jurisdiction of Wash
ington TO the effect that divorced wife,
being the beneficiary of her husband. was
entitled 10 receive the beneficiary money.
The decision was approved.
Hereafter no person shall be admitted
to membership in any beneficial depart
ment of the Degree of Honor who is over
40 years of age.
The supreme lodge voted to incorporate
the order in Pennsylvania.
The supreme lodge declined to attempt
specific definition of what is meant by
the word dependent as applied to
qualifications of beueiciaries, holding
that dependency is q matter of fact
which must be determined in accordance
with the facts in each case separately.
a member cannot be suspended or ex-
PEELED for refusing to pay dues for a sick
ben fit fund, provided he does not par
ticipate in such fund.
Only beneficial members are entitled
to vote on beneficial applications.

publican, a "turncoat'' because he
accepted a nomination for Represen-
tative from the Democratic party.
The Toledo Blade, in particular,
accuses him of placing the hunger
of office before principle" At the
same time the Blade shouts Justify
that the Democratic ticket upon
which Mr. Locke is a candidate has
no earthly chances of being elected.
Charging a man, in one breath,
with turning his coat to get an office,
and in the next, making the claim
that his chances of getting the Office
are hopeless and forlorn, implies a
condition of affairs that offends COM
mon sense.
The relative chances of Mr.. Locke's
being elected or defeated for the
office to which the Democrats, loving
fair play, have nominated him, are
of small consequence to the people.
But the fact that he has had the
courage to join the growing ranks of
independent Republicans who have
not hesitated to denounce Hanna
ism as being subversive of the prin-
ciples advocated by Jefferson and
Lincoln, will have much influence
with the people.
This denunciation of Mr.. Locke by
his own party's press, in the very
beginning of his career as citizen
independent in thought, speech and
action, will remind Summit county's
Democrats of what Judge Grant
said to them at the time of the War
rem Congressional convention last
fall, after he had endured for three
years from former party associates
the same sort of treatment that is
now being accorded Mr.. Locke.
Judge Grant said:
II have long ago reached point
where hard names do not scare me,
or soft ones charm me. L am quite
willing to be called an anarchist,
when 1 reflect that in my day l have
seen stump and press and pulpit in
free America the apologists or
defenders of chattel slavery as an
institution ordained of God. For
my part I will denounce anarchy, by
whomsoever, or in whatsoever place,
practised; whether by the prole-
tariat behind the barricade in the
street, the demagogue in Congress or
on the hustings, the executive placed
in power by the bought or cOerced
votes of a deceived and overreached
constituency, the mouthings of a
corrupt and venal press, the prayers
of the pharisee, the platitudes of a
pulpit which is a stranger to Chris
tian charity, or the judge with his
self-imposed robe of righteousness
about him. Each in his place is foe
to law and an enemy to order and the
welfare of society; and the time is
coming, surely coming, when they
will so be held and considered. 1t is
coming with the remorseless tread of
fate."
Having the above powerful arraign-
nent and defiance of. Hannaism
before him, Mr.. Locke's courage
will need no further stimulus
when his Madison county enemies
5ry to scare him with hard names.

THE death of Attorney II. K.
Sauder, senior member of the firm of
Sauder & Rogers, came as a shock to
his many friends, who had not been
prepared for the unfortunate news.
Mr.. Sauder was one of the brightest
and best-informed members of the
Summit county bar. In politics he
was fearless and Independent, hating
all manner of hypocrisy, and never
neglecting an opportunity to de-
nounce or combat it. AS champion
of the rights of the masses of the
people, rights which, in later years,
he believed to be best subserved by
the Democratic party, he had few
peers in Summit county. He was
popular as stump speaker in every
township in Summit county, and the
thousands who have so often been
entertained and instructed by him
will miss him very much.
