PROSPEROUS FRATERNAL SOCIETIES
Rapid Growth and Great Strength Due to Gener-
Gus Support of Fraternal Publications.

movement can prosper without some
means for speedy and reliable inter-
communication among it's members.
Fraternal societies recognized this fact
long ago and nearly all of them have
made the support of the official paper
of the society compulsory on the part
of all members. The Modern Wood
men of America publish "The Modern
Woodman' which is sent to all mem
bers Of the society; the A. O. U. w.
send 'The Workman the w. O. w.
send Sovereign Visitor; and SO
through almost the entire list of fra
ternal societies that have proven sue
cessful
Those labor organizations that have
been most successful owe much of their
success to the same practice. For ex-
ample, the International Typographical
union, the strongest, best organized
and most successful of all labor Or
ganization, owes its growth and
strength largely to rule that requires
every member to pay cents per month
for the support the Typographical
Journal" The same is true of other
labor organizations.
1t is equally important that the pop
ulists of the United States should sup
port the populist press of the country.
Every populist should subscribe for
The Independent and in addition get
as many Of his neighbOrs to subscribe
as possible. Thousands of populists
already realize the Importance of the
work and are daily doing what they
can to extend the circulation and in
fuence of The Independent. There
are, however, many thousands more
who should be at work in the same
line. They lack initiative. They wait
and delay to see what others will do.
They want to be followers instead of
leaders, and the cause of reform suffers
on account Of their Indifference. Wake
up and be at work. Follow the ex-
ample of the thousands whose testi-
monials Of loyalty have been published
in The Independent. Here is one ex-
ample-space will not permit more
ait's worthy your emulation:
Mr.. John Surles, Sr.. of Atwell, Tex,
has sent in many long lists Of new
subscribers from his locality and today
writes as follows:
Dear Independent: Please find en-
closed order for (s200) two dollars to
help extend the circulation of populism
through your paper. / must also help
the Mercury tour state paper that is
doing a splendid work. And would
love to aid all our papers to educate
the masses in regard to such legisla-
ton as will guarantee equal rights to
all men,
To make the work of securing new
readers easy The Independent has
made special rate for campaign sub
scription-only 10 cents each-SEVEN

up club in your neighborhood. Try
it today. Get out of the do-nothing |
class and into the ranks of progress,
