FRATERNAL coHESlvENEss.

A real fraternal feeling Is rapidly
growing among the two Masonic
bodies in st. Paul, and it cannot be
made to strong. On the level it's the
square thing to do and plumb foolish
to do otherwise. Since the election
of Mr.. Francis as Worshipful Master
of Pioneer Lodge and Mr.. Melchor
of Perfect ASHER Lodge the Lodges
are coming closer together.
Negroes must "GET TOGETHER"
and stick and the Masons are no ex-
ception to the rule. When you hear
a Negro Mason talking against an
other lodge he has forgotten his obli-
CATION and should be reminded OF 1t.
Forget the past, wipe off the slate
and work together. The Star and the
community wants to see each Lodge
hold the other on the five points OF
fellowship.

WHICH ONE? IF ANY.

Many of our people complain that
they have paid for one Of our local
publications end rever received it
also that they nave contributed fl
nancially to the same. This publica-
ton was started as a business en-
terprise, on its merits, not as a
piteous object, and each issue has
spoken for itself. 1t is supposed that
people who subscribe for papers are
intelligent, and should know whether
they paid for this paper or The Week

ly untrue, and unfair to both papers.

EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.

Would 1t not be good thing to or
ganize National Editorial Press AS
ISOLATION? The Bee doesn't mean a
bogus institution or an institution
that will admit persons who say that
they are editors but in reality they
are nothing but frauds. An editorial
association among colored editors Is
what is needed in this country. A
real live intellectual body of men who
edit legitimate papers.
The country is full Of newspaper
frauds who are imposing upon the
country. This city is an asylum for
all kinds of frauds. There are frauds
in every profession in this city.

FLOATING OIL FACTORY

A large steamer which has been trans.
formed into floating factory for the con-
version Of fish into oil, oas arrived at the
Delaware Breakwater, cruising southwark
There is said to be no other vessel adoat
like it. The Mills, formerly one of the
feet of steamers which piled between
Philadelphia and Colon, and prior to that
time a Government hydraulic dredge,
was purchased by the American Fisheries
Company, Of Philadelphia, and fitted up
for its present use.>
Soon after the mills anchored off the
Delaware BreakWater four fishing steamers
awash with cargoes Of msnhaden arrived
alongside and began discharging thousands
of barrels of menhaden into the big ship,
and the process of first reducing them to
pumice and then oil and finely to fish
scrap followed in regular order. For her
factory plant the Mills carries immense
screw presses, steam cooking vats and
buckets to scoop the fish out of the holds
of the fishing steamers. There are tanks
on board that will hold 750, gallons of
oil. The holds have a capacity for 10, 600
fish. It is thought that the Mills will
proceed up the Delaware to Philadelphia
to land her cargo of oil, after which she
will proceed southwark as far as the Flori.
