The odd Fellows.


On April rs. 1919. Thomas Widely
and four others who had been members
Of Odd Fellows Lodges IN England or
ganized lodge in Baltimore. Nd, call
ing It Washington Lodge. No. 1. That
was eishty-one years ago. and today
the event will be celebrated in odd Fell
low circles throughout the country. In
the same year document was procured
from the Duke OF York's lodge Of the
Manchester unity clothing the American
organization with the powers Of a grand
as well az subordinate lodge under the
title Of "No /. washington lodge, grand
lodge Of Maryland and the United
states.' The grand committee Of the
Manchester unity completed the legality
OF the American institution by confirm
ing this action and soon afterward the
Washington lodge surrendering its En-
glish charter, the grand lodge Of Mary
land and the United states was regu-
larry organised.
odd Fellows trace back the history Of
their order for about one hundred and
fifty years. although the principles of
fraternity upon which II 10 based
brought social organizations together In
ancient times. The order II said to have
been ORIGINATED in London about 174s
and in 1909 it was extended to Man.
chester. Here in 1914 the several lodges
were consolidated under the title 1.-THE
Independent order of Odd Fellows Of the
Manchester Unity" The London order
refused to recognize the authority OF
the Manchester organisation and several
other unities we're formed. but the Man.
chester Odd Fellows waxed strong, their
order fourished. 1t overshadowed all
rivals and from 1t sprang the American
organization which has attained such
prominence among the fraternai socie-
ties Of this country.
A few minor changes necessitated by
time have been brought about. but the
fundamental principles of the order re-
main as they were originally. The quail
ifications for membership are broad and
liberal. The applicant must be free

At the beginning Of last year there were
fifty-five grand lodges and hfty-two

trade journals are calling for dineren-
tiai tariffs to be applied to all the colo
mics Of the crown. and the reason frank
ly advanced for 1t is that the competi-
ton from America is getting to be suf-
ficiently serious to cause alarm.
Millions of dollars worth of manu-
featured articles are sent abroad where
few years ago comparatively nothing
was exported. Our sales Of railroad ma
terial and machinery have grown to
enormous proportions. Last year more
than 500 locomotives were sold to for
eigners. and the orders for this year are
greater than ever. Germany Is buying
pig iron from us. and In all probability
England will soon be doing the same

produce this raw material cheaper than
any other country on earth. Strange as

This revival has been widespread and
has made itself manifest In the increas-

while there are serious problems which

citizens. the question Of paramount i'm

write to set them In the straight and
narrow way are the mistaken ones. We
are afraid that this gentleman's ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Campbelps views
never touched bottom.
In the year 1890, James z. Campbell
was governor of Ohio, and in that year
the Democratic party Of the state put
itself squarely on record by favoring
1.-THE free coinage OF silver at its pres
ent ratio with gold" The next year
there was an election. Gov. Campbell
was again the Democratic candidate.
The party platform on which he stood
ana on which his campaign was con-
Quoted contained the following plank:
1--WE denounce the decentralization Of sill
yer In 1873 by the party then in power as
an Ubiquitous alteration of the money
STANDARD in favor OF creditors and against
debtors taxpayers and producers, and
which, by shutting or one of the sources
of supply Of primary money, operates con-
tinually to increase the value Of gold. de-
press prices, hamper industry, and dis
parage enterprise and we demand the re-
instatement Of the constitutional standard
of both gold and silver with the equal right
Of each to free and unlimited coinage"
A candidate who runs for governor on
that platform IL possessed of at least q
tenderness for free silver" Few peo-
pie have had so poor an opinion Of
Gov. Campbeirs Intelligence as to sup
pose that he believed in the efYicacy Of
the nostrum, or failed to perceive either
its danger or its dishonor. The less
credit to him. therefore, for refusing to
come out boldly against 1t. There is
plenty more material to identity Gov.
Campbell with the free silver cause, but
this should be sufficient.
