Comrades: Another year has sped
It's course; once more we me6t in an
nual assembly to review the past and
lay out plans for the future, for that
there is yet a long and useful future
before our camp, we have good rea-
son TO predict.
The past is an open book before us,
and in retrospect, in turning over some
of Its pages we are arrested by the
first chapter devoted as 1t Is to necrolo-
gy, for at the beginning OF my term
there occurred, in quick succession, the
deaths of three of our Oldest. most
prominent and jealous members, COM
rades who were largely instrumental in
making our camp what 1T was and
what 1t is.
Following during the year, ten
others, prominent in business, at the
bar and in the church, have crossed the
river to join the vast majority. We
are pleased to note the increased at
tendance on funerals and disposition to
pay the last sad tribute of respect to
our dead, to drop a sympathetic tear
with surviving kin and join with them
In the assurance OF n glorious immor-
tality.
"At our last annual meeting there
was reported on our roster 313 mem
bers. Since then we have added 16.
There have died 10; have withdrawn.

I, which, when all is considered. is n
cause for congratulation. But, still, the
sad thought is forced on us. fact we
cannot ignore. that ours is an organiza-
ton we cannot hope to perpetuate by
the infusion of young life and blood, for
"In life's harvest growing,
The reaping and the sowing,
Our comrades are ever going
Home to rest
And year by year must we expect, in

" CONVENTIONS.

There is an abiding possibility that
the forthcoming democratic state con-
vention will be twins.
1t begins to look as if one convention
hall would not be large enough to hold
the respective factions of the Democratic
party.
Careful investigation into the situation
reveals the startling fact that each fac
ton is on top and has positive instruc-
lions to stay there at all hazards.
This being the case, the party is in
about the same condition as an immov-
able body when it is hit by an irresist-
able body out in the realms of space.
There seems to be but one way out of
the difficulty and that is to have a couple
of good solid walls W the contest
| ants, with such quantities of policemen
| thrown into the intervening spaces as
the circumstances may justify.
With two conventions, and two dele
cations to Kansas City, there will be a
splendid opportunity to measure strength
again in q public forum.

issuance of the decree, and those who
have evaded the law-"beat the d+Ell
around the bush,'' as the saying is-by
will read with alarm the action rec,ltly
taken in a California court. A wealthy
man secured a divorce from his wife,
and before the year expired went over
he line and marr.ad another woman
He recently died and his divorced wife
| brought suit to secure a certain amount
| of the property left, on the grounds that
his present wife had no marital claims
upon the inheritance.
The California judge sustained thu
plaintiff in her action, holding that tn
man, a citizen of the state, could no
eyade a state law that was binding upol
him by going over into another state fo1
the purpose. 1t is an interesting decls
ion and may carry CONSERVATION int
the homes of those who have practice'
that sort of matrimonial gymnastics
While the opinion of the California judg
could not do away with the rights tina
inhere in a common law marriage, n
can undoubtedly make it very interest
ing in case OF the death of bne of tn
contracting parties when property COZ
s%iderations are in issue. NY.
