What The Red
 Men Stand For
(Continued from Page 4.)


 Order of Red Men at Baltimore in 1884 where the first tribe was formed that the customs and manners, and, indeed, some of the identical cere- monies, have descended in the ritual ist.c work of the Order.
 Coming down from the Sons os Lib erty, by whom the Republic was founded. the Order can be nothing less than intensely patriotic and broadly American. And all who come within its council chambers are taught loyalty to the government which their ancestors founded.
 The primary objects of the Order are to promote among men the exer- else and practice of the true prin- cfples of benevolence and charity, the care and protection of the widows and orphans of its members. The democratic influences which attended its birth-the idea that all men are eQual-are the tenets of the Order, and what a man Is. not what he pos sesses, constitutes his claim for re- cognition among the brotherhood.
 Friendship, fraternity, and hos pitality are exemplified as cardinal virtues. and nowhere are hearts brought closer together than around the council fires of the Red Men. In sickness or distress a brother is visit ed. comforted and assisted: and when the hour of death has removed him from his trial on earth he is buried by his brothers. who continue a watchful protective care for his wid- ow and orphans. It is in this beauti full spirit of friendship that the Red Man holds this social and brotherly intercourse within his wigwams. which broadens his character, en- larges his heart. educates his facul- ties. gives him amusement and re- creation. and altogether helps him to be a fober. upright. intelligent citi- zen, a better husband, father. son. or brother, and a man more qualified In every way to perform his duties and to enjoy the world.
 The Order has been criticized in some instances because of it's title and the supposed barbarism of it's ceremonials. But every true, intelli- gent Red Man takes great delight in the fact that it is the acknowledged conservators of the history, the cus- toms and the virtues of the original American people-a people conceded by the earliest travellers and writers to have beeen intelligent, brave and free. loyal in friendship, generous in

 In 1885 the members of the societ, of Red Men decided that the proper plan for continuing the organization was to have some general head ol was called in the city of Baltimore to carry out this proposition. This meeting, after lengthy discussion, de cided to eliminate politics and pro- vide for plan of systematic bene- fits.
 Under the new regime the Order progressed very rapidly and soor council fires were burning in several States of the Union.
 AZ the Order spread into other States it was decided that different plan of government was necessary and in 1S47, in response to a call sent out by the Great Council of organize the Great Council of the United States and the supreme head of the order. A plan of propagand- izing was outlined and the steady growth which continued up to 1865 commenced.

The war broke out and for four years the Order was at a standstill, many of the Brothers supporting the cause of the North or the South.

do not intend to give a temperance
lecture. You wives know only too well
how, when your husbands became in
temperate, then began the anxiety
which has caused the wrinkles on your
brows. You mothers remember only
too distinctly how your breasA have

sons, whom you have brooded over
with tenderest care, became the slaves
of drink. The story is old. We have
heard these thoughts expressed again
and again. Yet, when will women de-

may receive from them. NThe people
