realize that to be consistent WOOD
man he must be no respecter of per-
sons, that each and every person is his
neighbor, and that the hand of frater-
nal greeting must be extended regard
less of ones station in life. Those un-
acquainted with fraternal orders have
no conception of the importance of such
organizations as leveling factors in hui
man conduct. The type of men seek
ing membership in the Woodmen of the
World was exemplified Thursday night
in Fremont camp, when the protection
degree was administered to Hon. Web
ster Davis, the distinguished assistant
secretary of the interior under Presi-
dent Mckinley, and formerly mayor of
Kansas City, man on whom nature
has showered her bounties. OF fine
bearing, learned in letters and law,
eloquent to a surprising degree, little
is the wonder that he holds his auditors
spellbound when he essays to give of
the seemingly unlimited storehouse of
his heart and brain. The acquisition
to the order of a man of the reputation
and character of the Hon. Webster
Davis is a matter of congratulation,
and Fremont camp takes just pride in
the fact that he was initiated into its
membership.
Fremont camp received four applica-
| tions and three transfers Thursday
night. Three candidates were initiated.
! Organizer George E. Stretch was pres
ent and made one of his characteristic
| fraternal talks, and urged upon the
membership the necessity for united
action in the matter of increasing the
enrolment of the camp. At his sugges-
| ton the camp was divided into two
| forces, Consul Commander Tuttle on
one side and Advisor Lieutenant Dill
on the other. Every neighbor present
was chosen for one side or the other,
and others will be added from week to
week until every available worker in
the camp will be impressed into service.
! The contest will probably run until the
| first of the year. although, if conditions
warrant the time will be extended
The losing side is to furnish some ac-
ceptable form of entertainment for the
Victors, and this, coupled with the nat
| ural pride that every neighbor has for
| the order and camp, will be incentive
| enough to arouse the members to the
greatest activity. 1t is a foregone con-
clusion that the end of the campaign
will show a most satisfactory increase
| in Fremonts membership, Consul Com
manders Let's of East Lake camp and
| Lindsey of Carnation camp were well
come visitors. and responded to the in
Vitation of Consul Commander Tuttle
to address the camp, as did Hon. Web
ster Davis, newly elected as a member
of the camp.
A big time was had at David camp
Thursday night. The quarterly report OF
the board of managers was made, and
showed all funds in good standing
Neighbor Moss, the clerk, and the
board of managers were highly com
mended for the accurate way in which
they had kept their books. Several
members of Los Angeles camp came
over in a body Organizer Stretch de-
livered a stirring address on the good
of the order, and organized the camI
for campaign work-Consul Commander
Mack and Advisor Lieutenant Kemp as
opposing leaders. A sunptuous ban
quet was served and all went home re-
joicing.
Pasadena camp met as usual FRIDAY
night, voting on and receiving severa
