LoOting Fraternal Benefit Societies,

1t was Robin Hood who said
that to rob rich man was the
work of an artist, but to rob a
poor man was the work Of a.
scoundrel and should be punish
ed by death.
This is not a distinction that
would berecognized by thecourts
but while robbery in any form is
properly a discredited practice it
does seem that robbery of the
poor descends to a level of viii
lainy and wickedness, scarcely
equaled in any other form OF
felony.
According to a dispatch from
Springfield, ILL.,, in the merger Of
two fraternal organizations, the
American Home Circle and the
Fraternal Tribune, a $50, 900
surplus fund disappeared; and it
is alleged that upon further in
vestigation OF the Knights OF the
Globe, Life Endowment, Frater-
nal Crystal Lights and the indie
pendent Order of Mutual Aid it
will be found that fraudulent
manipulations will amount to
approximately 81, 100000.
Here are insurance and mutual
benefit organizations, holding in
trust the meager savings Of thou
sands and thousands OF Ameri-
can working men and women,
who, if Justly accused, have been
guilty Of the grossest and most
despicable form of robbery and
fraud. There is no doubt but
that every few hundred dollars
thus crininally appropriated
meant, or will mean, actual want
and suffering tosome hard-work-
ing mother and children.
The best way to cure the trust
evil, says the president, is not by
: legislation, but by putting a few
of the trustmakers in Jail.
For the same reason the one
proper remedy for malefactions
of this sort is not to reform laws

tised not only direct nomination
Of candidates for Office, but direct
legislation as well. The propos-
ed laws we're submitted to the
qualified voters, and were accept
ed or rejected according to the
will of the majority. AS popula-
ton increased and democracies
extended over great areas, the
representative system of law
making grew up.
In someform the people of more
than twenty-five states have
adopted the direct nomination
system in place OF theparty nom
mating convention. It's popular
ity is due largely to the belief
that it makes it easier for the
voters to control the action of
their party. 1t is urged in it's
favor that it destroys the power
of the machine" and makes it
impossible for the "bosses" TO
consummate corrupt agreements
among themselves. The friends
Of the system say further that it
makes the party Immediately re-
sponsive to the will Of the major
ity through the elimination of
the unnecessary nominating con
vention.
In spite Of it's growing popu-
larity, many thoughtful men re-
greet that so much of the time of
the legislatures has been con
sumed in the consideration of
plans for changing the machinery
by which nominations are made
and officers are chosen. The on
ly merit which they can see in the
change of system is that its dis
cussion attracts attention to the
need of vigilance in government.
They insist that the convention
system has produced good re-
suits and is responsive to any
emphatically expressed demand
of the party. AS adevice forcar
rying on the details of party
management, when the mass oil
voters is Indifferent, they main
tain that it is unsurpassed, and
that the admitted abuses under
it are no worse than those which
will arise under any other system
But discomfort with the nomi
mating conventionsis widespread
and the discontinued say, "Let
us try the new plan. 1t cannot
be any worse than the DID," Anc
so theaspiration for better things
is behind the movement.-Ex.
