\ Republican exchange says:
w. j. Bryan received, it is claimed,
$1,000 for his recent tour of Illinois
which lasted one week. He was also
paid a similar amount for speaking at
Texas state fair.
Suppose he does: is itany OF your bust
nesS,or ours? If he'has convinced people
ms services are worth S425 per day Ia
feat we doubt,l why, it's a good thing
for Bryan. Let those who pay their
money kick. -Dccorah Republican,.
The statement which is credited to
"a Republican exchange" is from the
State Register, which also says s., 800
was paid to Mr.. Bryan for his Keolkuk
speech. G. A. Walsh, Secretary of
the Democratic National Committee,
corrects this in a communication to
the Register which it refuses to publish
but which appears in other papers of
the state. The Republican from its eX-
tensivc exchange list undoubtedly had
access to Mr.. Walsh's letter to the
Register showing that Mr.. Bryan did
not receive anything for either the
Keokuk or the Texas meeting that
the sum of 800 was set apart at each
of these meetings for Mr.. Bryan and
that in both it was turned over to the
committee of which Mr.. Walsh is
Secretary, for its use. The Republican
ought TO correct its statement.

1t seems rather queer time of the
year for the government to order the
weighing of the mails the month be-
fore the campaign, when thousands of
tons OF campaign literature is being
sent through the mails. Don't know
as there is any thing in it but to a
man up tree it looks as if there
might be something in it: and very
much as if Uncle Sam wonld get the

We have voted protective tariff of
$500 thousand on lumber until we
have so enriched the lumber men that
they have formed trust or syndicate
and have bought all the pine, spruce
and tir timber, of the country. The
Pioneer Press day or two ago gave an
account of large deal by which the
lumber men of Minneapolis and
saltwater had bought all the available
timber of the state of Washington.
For their benefit, we through tariff
legislation have shut out Canada
lumber enabled them to buy all the
pine timber of the country and they
have raised the price of lumber $500
per LOCO feet. Is this for the benefit
of the farmers. or of the trust?

The gain in the assets of the lodges OF
British Columbia for the year has been
S2,219.12, and the total assets amount to

The trustees are the proper custodians
of the treasurer's and other official bonds.
All funds, notes. etc. belonging to the
lodge should be kept by the treasurer.
Too common is the thought that the
order exists for the individual member,
while the fact is that the membership
makes the order, and the order, like q
good home. reflects its blessings on each
member.
British Columbia grand lodge, since its
institution in 1874, has paid out for relief
$22s,665.
1t is not necessary for a member with
a withdrawal card to have resided within
the jurisdiction of the lodge in which he
seeks membership six months.
Lodges are responsible for those they
put in the chairs. They should keep their
weather eye open and elect as noble
grand the best man they have; then give
him good support in the other offices. The
chairs in a lodge are too often filled by
members incompetent to properly dis
charge the duties simply from desire or
custom of letting the Offices go around.

without the aid of books OF tedious de

frequently they are wanting in dignity,

THE STAY.AT-H0ME VOTE.

There are more than 1000 Republi-
can voters in Akron, but less than
$50 votes were polled at the primaries
Saturday. Local Republicans have
lost interest in their party's affairs
since the party and its leading repre-
sentatives in office came under the
control of Mark Hanna and the
trusts. And besides, there are a
great many Akron Republicans who
cannot agree with the Administra-
ton that Imperialism and militarism
are safe careers for a Republic to
embark upon. They have not forgot
ten what Judge J. A. Kohler said to
them upon this point in his Memorial
address at Grace Park IL May of
1898, long before the Administrations
Philippine policy was thought of:
Judge Kohler said:
II am not envious of mighty
military power, or nation that
rules by force. And if there
is one thought more than another
that wish to leave with you, it is
that the policy to be pursued in the
future may be in accordance with
the traditions of the past and the
teachings of the Father of His
Country, the immortal Washington.
At home, and in just cause, we are
secure and safe from the attack and
invasion of the combined govern
ments of the world. Forgetting this,
becoming greedy for the extension
of territory and to maintain colonial
and pro-consular governments in dis
tant seas and over people not hon.
ogeneous or capable of self-govern-
ment, requiring a powerful army and
navy to maintain order, we will find
to our sorrow that we have opened
Pandora's box and let loose upon us
manifold evils. = Most of the
wars that have desolated the earth
have been wars of ambition, robbery
of territory, and crusades in the
name of religion"
1t will be necessary to burn several
tons of red fire, hire great many
brass bands and import an army of
shouting parasites of the Admins
tration even in "Col. Dicks home
county," if Imperialism, trust favor
itism and too much Mark Hanna are
not to have a disastrous effect upon
the Republican vote.

seem that the order in Indiana has GER

A surprisingly large number of tribes re-

more, and it seems quite probable that

than ever before, and the total member
ship will reach nearly, if not quite, DO
600. TO obtain this number the gain
must be 2,6S1.
