One will be surprised to find how
many men are not merely ap-
proachable, but are really desirous
of taking out some kind of life pro-
lection. They do not care to take
the initiative themselves, but they
are glad to have someone else to do
so, and one will find them ready
to meet him more than half way.
The past tea or fifteen years have
worked wonders in the way of in
surance. As consequence most
men no longer need to be convinced
of its desirability-they are con
vinced already. All they need is
to have an earnest and cordial in
vitation and the work is half ac-
complisbed Mutual Underwriter.

A provision was made by tn

A provision was made by the
last Grand Lodge of Nevada to pay
a prize of $25 to the Subordinate
Lodge in the Jurisdiction which
makes the greatest proportionate
gain during the time intervening
between the last and next session
of the Grand Lodge. This bonus
is not large but it will stir the
Lodges to some activity. If it had
been made 800 the strife for the
prize would have been keen and
many new members would, no
doubt, have been secured.

The Coming Fight.

greatest fight ever made against
fraternities. A combination has
been made against them which
seems well nigh irresistible. Signs
of it are on all hands. They seem
to be in the very air. What form
this attack will take, from what
source it will originate, who will
take the initiative-these are devel-
opments which only time will show.
How do you know this?" the
incredulous reader may ask.
"How do we know we will live to-
morrow" We do not know it of a
certainty. But ourselves, our
friends, even enemies, would be
greatly surprised were our sum-
mons to come so unexpectedly, and
by the same token we know that
the knives of opposing interest
have been whetted for our beloved
cause. Any other result would be
unexpected, and would cause sur
prise among those sufficiently
familiar with the situation to scan
the outlook intelligently.
Have we not heard premonitions
rumblings of the storm? Have
not men in high places sounded
storm signals? Have they not is
sued their ukase to the effect that
fraternal protection must be regu-
lated?" Generally what does "re-
gulation" mean when INDUCED IN
by ruthless opponents and legisla-
tors of frail integrity? ''The people
must be protected at all hazards"
is their excuse. The rush into the
breach and the protection" which
the lion affords the lamb is the out
come
The anonymous circular fiend is
abroad. His quiver is full of pois-
oned arrows. The suggestive ques-
tions, the half truth which is the
greatist lie of all, the insinuations,
the pathetic reference to the help
lessness of widow and orphan
should confidence be misplaced
all these are made to do valiant
service.
The old line of jourals are adver-
tising in all directions canvassing
documents warranted to "bring re-
suits" for old line agents. Compel
tive literature, ever mischievous,
is being sown knee deep. Reputa-
tions of life long standing are want
only impeached. The record of un-
impeachable honesty is fully ques-
toned. Everything points to
united, concerted efforts to impede
the progress Of fraternalism.
What is the antidote for such
poisonous campaign? Surely, it
does not consist in submitting
supinely to such tactics. What
would one do we're venomous rep
tile to attack him or q fellow man?
Would he fold his arms and rest
his cause upon the righteousness of
it2 Hardly! He would use every
means available to defend himself
and dispatch his enemy.
Fraternalists should do likewise.
They should both defend them
selves and endeaver to bring confu-
sion to the camps Of their enemies.
They must educate. They must
put food for thought into the hands
Of their members. They must for
tify them against the pestilential

Initiatory work as laid down in
the ritual is good enough, if it is
done understandingly, correctly,
with spirit, and without the aid of
books, or tedious delays. There is
no need to embellish the work with
new ideas run in to "have time"
with u candidate. These innova-
tions more often do harm than good.
Too frequently they are wanting in
dignity. The levity they are in

Philadelphia coal shippers cannot be

in from the New England states and
in the opinion of dealers it looks very
much as though, that section of the
country is about to expect a coal
famine that will mean much suffering
and heavy losses in the manufacturing
