HONORED LINEAGE OF
 IMPROVED o. R. M
Sons of Liberty Were FOrerunners o1 Present Great Fraternal
 Organization.

The Improved Order of Red Men is the oldest fraternal organization o1 purely American origin. It is the lineal descendant of the Sons of Lib- prior to the Declaration of Independ- ence, had by their active work paved the way for that immortal act. When the Sons of Liberty in many localities merged into Societies of St. Tamina, from 1771 to 1900, the love of coun- try and the conservation of liberty were still the guiding impulse. In 1913 it took on another form in the Society of Red Men, formed at Fort Mifflin, as shown in the historic archives of the order Under this name it existed for nearly twenty years with a proud record of frater- nifty and benevolence: For causes lar organizations of that period, from 1928 to 1882. the Society of Red Men languished and became nearly ex- tinct. In 1893 members who had been active therein gathered a few of the smouldering embers of the dinly burning council brand and kindled the council fire of the Im- hunting grounds of Baltimore, Mary land, and Heightened the chain of friendship" by adding to it's patriotic and fraternal features the charitable and benevolent work of it's present ministrationS.
 It is true the societies existing previous to the year 1913 made no use of the name of Red Men as a part of the title by which they were known. "St. Tammany's Society" was a frequent appellation in the Middle and Southern States. The organiza- tion at Boston and elsewhere of 1765, and later, known as the Sons of i b nronadn6 fha r19 a n Societies. and was organized with the same spirit and to perform the same service. They frequently referred to each other as 'tthe Indians" and the well known fact will be recalled that, on a certain important date, party ed down to the wharf by the water side and pitched into Boston Harbor the tea which had been imported but which the colonists refused to re- ceive and pay taxes upon. The men who constituted the famous Boston of Liberty of Boston and vicinity.
 Undoubtedly these various societies had means of communication. The business in which they were engaged was extremely dangerous. If they succeeded they were heroes. If they failed they were traitors. Until 1t was. decided whether their reward was to be the laurel wreath or the halter there was the utmost necessity of concealing their personal identity
 Instinctively they turned to the un- cultivated field of red mems myster- ies for their ceremonies and so-called secret work. and in the sublimity and grandeur of the unsullied character istics of the aboriginal race, then their near neighbors and plentiful around them, found inspiration for the mystical lore deemed necessary for their gatherings and suitable for the concealment of identity, insepara- ble from the dangerous work in which they were engaged-of founding a new nation. It is a remarkable fact, which may be used to substantiate the orders claim, that these earlier societies were followed in direct lineal descent by the Society of Red Men instituted at Fort Mifflin in the spring of 1913 and by the Improved

SENIOR BR1sTow's RESOLUTION.

Senator Bristow's resolution calling for am
investigation into alleged misuse of the power
of federal patronage in southern states is Of
more serious import than may appear in the
competition and furry of political campaign.
1t will be said that it is prompted partly by
desire for fractional advantage or dictated by
loyalty to individuals rather than to great funda-
mental principles of government Those who
know Senator Brisow and his ideals Of the dig
nifty Of the presidential office will prefer to be-
heve that this undigniied scramble for eonven-
tion votes among southern postmasters and other
federal beneticlareS appears to him. as it does
to many Of his countrymen, a direct assault
upon not alone the dignity but also the purity
of the executive branch Of the government
The office is not the property Of the incumbent
of the office. 1t belongs to the people In theory
it is the possession of no and of no party
Once elected to office by constitutional ma
jority, the president becomes the president not
of faction but Of the whole people of every
race and color and of every political and re-
ligious creed. Every function and every respon-
sbility OF the office is in theory to be exercised
for the full benefit of all Every prostitution
of its functions to the service of a faction to
perpetuate in power the incumbent of the office
for his benefit or theirs. is an act tending
to establish dangerous precedent and even I'M
dermine the ideals Of free government
NO man can safely be reelected president Of
the United States who in office requires author
ICES or voluntarily permits postmaster or other
officeholder to make showing of delegates in a
national convention as the price of holding his
office through the good will of the president
If there has been no swinging Of the patron
age club with the approval of President Taft,
that fact should be promptly established and
thoroughly understood If, on the contrary. Mr..
Taft has turned from the people who distrist his
present affiliations to the politicians who repre-
sent special interests and to the army Of federal
oficeholders, to suppress the clear will Of the
people that fact should be disclosed.
The Brstow resolution in either case should
be pressed Let the public have the facts-Los

ROOSEVELT IN INDIANA.

When the news came that Roosevelt had
been given a drubbing in North Dakota his
friends said they had expected it, Perhaps also
they expected defeat in Indiana and are not
disappointed and enraged by the rebuke admin
stored the Colonel there
Even more significant than the result in North
Dakota is that in Indiana If Roosevelt has
any strength at all in the country he should
have shown some of it there in the so-called
middle west where his popularity has hereto
fore been at high tide He should have shown
il there where former Senator Albert j Beyer-
idge has been campaigning for him. But in the
primary for the election Of delegates at large
to the national convention he was swatted from
border to border Of the state. In Marion conn
ty including the city Of Indianapolis he was
beaten three to one by the Taft forces Thus
the popular vote was recorded while the odds
against him in the convention viii be even
heavier
Roosevelts weakness is apparent in a review
of the vote in Marion county. which in itself
constitutes congressional district, in the last
two presidential elections. In 1904 the Colonel
carried it against Parker by vote of 35.l03
against 22.336 while in 1908 Taft barely won
it from Bryan by vote of 3435l against a.
07S Thus we see that Taft came within 274
vSeot of losing congressional district which
Roosevelt had carried by 12.767 The reverse
is apparent in the returns showing Roose-
welt to have been swamped by Taft in direct
appeal to the people Evidently the Colonel S

TAFT WINS IN INDIANA.

The reports from the presidential primaries
in Indiana Indicate clear ctory for President
Taft. Director Mckinley for President Taft
claims a majority of at least 250 in the repub-
can state convention, which will send four dele
gates at large instructed for Taft lie claims
that it is settled beyond question that President
Taft will have twenty-one out of the thirty dele
gates from the state of Indiana to the republic
an national convention. The press reckons that
the delegates will be eighteen for Taft and
twelve for Roosevelt, and it gives Taft clear
mgajorty of the delegates to the state conven-
ton The Roosevelt supporters however, figure
sort of scheme whereby they can unseat
some of the Taft delegates and thus win the
state. Senator Dixon. in charge of the ROosc-
welt bureau, claims thereupon that Indiana will
be for Roosevelt. 1t is difficult to see, how
ever, how an admitted minority of the state con
yenton mseat delegates of the majority. The
talk very likely that if the Roosevelt
crowd cannot control the convention, they will
bolt and hold separate convention OF their
own, thus making contested delegation from
Indiana This would be quite in accord with
the rule and ruin policy which Roosevelt seems
to have at heart
Undoubtedly the contest in Indiana RACES

SAN FRANc1sco's UNEMPLOYED.

on the exposition buildings and various other
large projects, notably the state highway sys-
TEN. there is almost certainty that a period
of hardship will ensue
That expectation of the employment of thou
sands of men in preparation for the exposition led
workingmen from all quarters to San Francisco
there can be no doubt. but this is not time to
determine responsibility for an unfortunate con
dition The city and. in reality, the state is
confronted by the condition itself and should
alleviate it if possible.
The exposition directors should expedite the
beginning Of construction and Immediately there
would be work for several thousand The state
should proceed at to the construction Of
its highways and wharves. Even if plans
have TO be upset bit. it is worth the trouble
when the welfare of such an army of workers
is at stake
