Two New Issues for Consideration OF the
Menbership-A New Glass Proposed.
Delaware Workman.
In nutshell there are two new
issues brought out by the recent session
Of the Supreme Lodge, A. Q. .. W.,
in which all Workmen should at once
manifest deep interest and discuss
freely in their various lodges.
After all, in society having rep
resentative form of government the
members are the law masers-the
sovereigns 1t is not What are those
fellows going to do Rextl'' Is is
What are We going to do: or what
shall We cause to be left undone:
The Jurisdiction of Delaware has
always been self-supporting and be-
cause of the low average age Of her
membership she is known as one OF the
orders most prosperous Jurisdictions.
Her financial condition gets better in
stead Of worse, and little extra effort
upon the Tart OF every Workman would
make the A. o. u. w. of Delaware the
most successful fraternal insurance
society in the world.
But other jurisdictions of the big
order are not self-snpporting because
interest and work therein has Jagged
until some of them have become iuris-
dictions of old men. Thus their liza
bilities and increasing cost to the order
has made the Supreme Lodge anxious
as to their future.
The two new issues hinge upon this
very vital point.
One grows out of movement inaugu-
rated in the Supreme Lodge by the
new Supreme Master Workman, Webb
MoNali. 1t suggested the creation Of
! two new age classes, with increases
cost to the older men as follows: Ages
% to 81, sl,C01, e ~ g, O00, si.6i.
| Age so years and over, sl,00o, 81. Sc
$4,000. IS. y.
| This was postponed for one year, be
| ing referred TO special commission OF
which G. NJ. W. Narvis, OF tie low
I rate jurisdiction of Iowa, Is chairman
This assures protection Of the low rat,
| Jurisdictions.
The second new issue is one which
more yitalls interests Delaware. /
1 was the resolution introduced by Rep
resentative Vance of Minnesota, an
| which, though killed by vote o
Supreme Lodge, still lives in the mind
Of the membership.
It was to allow the Grand Lodge O
Minnesota and any other Grand Lodg
would nave the same right to pfoyid
for and establish reserve fund to b
used in payment Of Beneficiary Assess
ments whenever the number of sal
assessments shall exceed a maximum
limit to be fixed by the Grand Lodge
In other words, prosperous iurisdiC
ton might thus make itself safe an
sound for all time.
These are presented concisely an
clearly FIR tine consideration OF th
membership of Delaware.

Rnmnus Among Nsrrnss.

Centrevills, Md, Aug. Dat the
Kent Island campmeeting Sunday the
number of cracked skulls and broken
noses among the negroes in attendance
could not be calculated. All the par
ticipants in the affray were not arrested,
as il was utterly impossible for the
officers ofrthe law to gather them all in
before they left for their homes in Bal
timore and Delaware. The Queen
Anne's Railroad Go. ran special ex-
cursions to the grounds from Balti-
more, Centreyille and Delaware. The
Pennsylvania road also ran a special
from Philadelphia. Chester and viii
mington. 1t is an established rule that
there is guing to be fighting when the
negroes from these sections of the
country eolne together. Tho officers ex-
peeted trouble and were prepared for it.

struck a fishing rod which he bel 4 IN
his hand and passed into the water
Mir. Wills bands we're badly burned
and Mrs Wills was severely shocked. :
The storm came FROM the northwest
and a popularity about it was that
there was lightning and thunder for
an hour before the rain began to fall,
and when the rain did come 1t was in
sheets that quickly turned the streets
into rivers with no portion Of the sida-
walks visible. The total rainfall was
|. l3 inches.
During the storm bolt of lightning

There were no passengers in the car al

while The Republicans are flood.

While the Republicans are flood
ing the country With figures on
prosperity it might be well to see
who the prosperous are. The Steel
Trust is making money at the rate
of $4,000, 600 year. N one will
deny that that is prosperity. The
Beef Trust is selling beef at figures
that puts about 10 cents in their
Golfers on every pound of beef the
American people have TO buy. Ger
tainly that is prosperity. The Coal
Trust is charging two dollars for
one dollars worth of coal. No one
will deny that they ought to be
making few dollars as they go
along, and that they are feeling
slight evidences of prosperity in
their pockets, too. The typewriter
manufacturer is selling typewriters
to American buyers for 800 each
which he can afford to sell in Eng
land at S55 each. He is undoubted-
Iy prosperous at that rate The sew
ing machine manufacturers are sell
ing the housewives SIT sewing ma
chimes at $50 each, and that is pros
perity. But what about the other
fellow? When the public spirited
men of town want to build street
railway they must pay the Steel
Trust S2S for the same kind of steel
that that organizations ships to
England and sells there for $23 per
ton. Does that make the buyer
prosperous? Last May and at the
present time, the laboring man had
to pay 25 cents for pound of the
same kind of beef that the Beef
Trust ships to London and sells
there for ID cents per pound. Is be
prosperous? The Coal Trust makes
the consumer pay$10 for So worth of
coal. Perhaps the consumer feels
that all is prosperity while he is do
inc so. When the American business
man wants to buy a typewriter he is
charged Just 800 for machine that
is shipped from here to England and
sold there for S55. When the busy
housewife, who has to do her own
sewing in order to help her husband
to make buckle and tongue meet,
wants sewing machine she has to
pay $50 for a machine that her Eng
lish sister can buy for SIT In the
face OF these facts who will have the
hardihood to deny that ours is
blessed prosperity with the tariff
fostered trust manufacturers grow
ing richer every day at the expense
OF the people? The prosperity of
the trusts is not the prosperity of
the people.

1t is natural to feel thus. Surely respect is
due the man or woman who sits down and
calmly and ntelligenty decides to go with the
best people, buy among them and be one Of
them. Our friends take a conmendable pride
