we all could honorably stand: and
while we do not object to any mem
Der supporting any tax or law he
sees at. and recognize that circum-
stances may intervene to sometimes
justify a change of attitude on al
most any question, still We were, and
are now, unwilling to let any such
considerations or inducements as
were preached and held out to, and
apparently acted upon by our with
drawing friends. to make us fall In
line with them. If we did so, we
do not feel that we would merit or
receive the respect OF anybody and
especially our official superiors in
this Order: and we are, therefore.
frank TO say that we have freely
used our endeavors 70 keep the re-
naming members from yielding TO
and accepting the bait held out TO
them as above stated.
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
II our friends. I'm the same. open
and frank manner in which they de-
clined 10 pay the tax. had afterwards
come forward claiming a change OF
opinion and giving sensible reasons
why the Council should rccede from
its position. instead OF voting against
its payment ar night and the next
day slipping down TO the Office and
paying it. they would have been
heard and. perhaps. would have Sc
cured i'm an honorable way possibly
the major portion of the members.
But having seen fit to pursue the
course above detailed. we who re-
spect our word and the Councils or
ders could not join i'm that sort OF
conduct. nor feel safe under such
wobbling leadership. even n we were
disposed 20 yield our opposition,
which at this time we neither deny
or admit
BRINGING ARGUMENT HOME.
The account in the paper also
states that Good Prospect Council Is
one of the oldest. and has in its mem
bership some of the most influential
and best known men Of Richmond. "
In so far as this statement has re-
ference TO the original and now exc
isting Good Prospect Council. we
say (with becoming modesty) it has
n very good foundation. Indeed
quite number Of the men still iden-
tilted with the original Council have
prominent business connections
which furnish daily employment %
many of those now constituting the
moving spirit in the newly organized
Good Prospect Council.
The account further states that
the COuRcil resumes work. and will
now put forth every effort 10 recruit
its ranks, etc.
If this statement Is designed Ia
create the impression that the orig
inal Good Prospect Council has dis
banded and ceased to exist. and that
the great majority Of it's members
endorse the course OF the seceders
now constituting the new council
then said statement is absolutely
without foundation. Such a state
ment, if allowed 20 go uncorrected
may doubtless have the effect OF mis-
leading others Of our Council into
the new, sO-called Good Prospect
Council

ARE ST. LUTEs STILL.

We wish to say that the original
council is still existing and doing
business at the old stand, and on
the same nights. II still has its
original full corps of officers, with
but three exceptions; and while our
former members have appropriated
to themselves our name, and, we are
Informed. have, in our absence. re
lieves us Of our charter and, perhaps
other belongings. this fact does not
operate to destroy our existence, but
simply stamps our friends as being
guilty of a very high-handed piece
OF usurpation and misappropriation
to say the least. We have been us
ing publicly the name Good Pros
pect Council" so long. that such con-
duct on our friends part as is~above
criticised cannot properly deprive us
of that name, or the right to restrain
the use of II by those who have Sc
ceded from us.

SUBMITS TO THE COUNCILS OR.
DERS.

Not wishing to occupy either Of
these unenviable positions. and see
ing that the opposition TO paying
said tax continued without abatement
or the part of nearly every man
present at every meeting when the
matter has come up, the said Chair
man has remained, and still remains
obedient to his Councils orders, and
has not hesitated to express his hum
bic legal views upon such points, as.
in his opinion, would sustain their op-
position 20 said tax in case the Coun
ell was really bent on extreme steps;
but he again positively asserts that so
far from advising the Council to sue.
or expressing any intention TO do so
on his own account. he has, on the
contrary, discouraged such an eX-
IRENE course. giving as his main reas
on that he was not in favor OF taking
tany steps which, in their ultimate
result, might tend to in any way
damage a Negro institution.
Richmond planet., 1907-11-09

replying to certain criticisms and
rumors aimed directly at him, begs
leave to state that in so far as said
rumors seek to represent him as
heading a movement TO enter suit a
gainst the Order (Which. of course.
he like anybody else. has the right
20 do). or as having expressed an
intention 10 sue the order on his
own behalf. bringing to his aid any
OF his connections from the opposite
race. they are absolutely lacking i'm
truth
On the contrary he can prove. that
had his advice been followed. the
present unpleasantncss and division
would not have taken place. because
after seeing the almost unanimous
opposition to the tax. he. after ad-
hitting that he fully shared i'm that
opposition and stating his reasons for
so doing. suggested the compromise
remedy OF paying said tax under
protest, which remedy has been re-
peatedly conceded to have been the
proper one under the circumstances
then existing. 1t is plain. 90 an in-
foruncd mind that this course would
not only have preserved the right 20
seek an annulmcnt of the tax at the
Grand Sessions. or elsewhere if the
Council should so desire. but at the
same time it would have protected
the Council against the so-callcd
right OF suspension that was sup
posed to arise from the failure TO
pay said tax.
DID NOT WANT TO DISRUPT IT.
AS reasons why his plan should
be followed. our Chairman pointed
ont some OF the very consequences
which have taken place. and further
stated that he had no disposition Go
dght any Negro institution that was
"a help TO any portion of tho race. as
ne believed the ST. Luke organization
was. and urged upon the members 20
carefully weigh this consideration
themselves before finally deciding TO
resist the payment Of the tax in
question. But the Council by an
almost unanimous vote, decided not
20 pay said tax under aoy terms.
This action Git must be admitted
by those familiar with the methods
by which bodies express their Will
and purposes on any question: pro-
hibited every member of the Council
from paying said tax until that ac-
tion had been rescinded in the same
formal and open way I'm which Il was
originally passed. After this action
had been heralded broadcast over
the land, and I'm advance of its an
nulmcnt by the Council. any mem-
ber then paying said tax would have
been guilty Of contempt towards the
Council, whether he was originally
in favor of doing SO or not; and es-
pecially would those who openly and
strenuously fought its payment have
been both guilty OF contempt and
have compromised their honor and
exposed themselves TO the disrespect
of our official superiors.

We are also informed that the

LOYALTY 10 THE ORDER.

After saying that dissatisfaction

in the right; but we strenuously

However. recalling his connection

ing informed that certain advantages

If he could get eleven others besides
himself to pay the tax, they would

AdyantnSes Of The Name.

We are glad to know that tne
custom Of naming farms is becom-
inc quite general. A natural Sc
onence from it is to print the name
n the farm on the owners statlon-

|Olace become indivdualizsd and
associated together in the commun-
|itv. There is a business advantage,
too. as every letter sent out from
