Now that the Progressive party has

In selecting a Negro as delegate at
large, the Progresisves went farther
than the Republican party could be
persuaded to go during all the years
Of it's existence in this state. Then
too, the Progressives have provided

GOOD RADIANCE OF BAD RUB
BISH.

The suspension of the Grand Lodge
Of Virginia from the Order of knights
OF Pythias was no surprise to those
who have kept in touch with the af.
fairs Of this fraternal organization.
Ever since the elevation of the late
S. w. Starks to the Supreme Chan
cellorship when John Mitchell thought
the honor should have come to his
STATE, the jurisdiction of Virginia has
been Il thorn in the flesh of the sr-
pre;ne officers Two or three clashes
vhlcr threatened to end in the action
just taken by the Supreme Chancel-
lor occurred during the administra-
ton Of his predecessor, whose procla-
nations as we'll as those of the Su-
prone Lodge were time and again ig-
norcd with contempt by the Virginia
jurisdiction.
Supreme Chancellor Green, too, has
had his trials, his campaign for cleo
ton to the office which he was filling
by the law of succe ssiul. on the death
Of Starls, being bitterly comec,ed by
Mitchell whose methods were spec
tacular to a degree. Pamphlets were
spread broadcast among the order
charging the administration with the
most fragrant abuses Of power and
Green was made party to every
transaction. Mitchell went to the SUI
preme Lodge session at Kansas City
accompanied by several Pullman cars
full of boosters. Headquarters were
opened in a Negro hotel where whis-
key and beer might be had for the
asking by delegates or those supposed
to have Influence with delegates The
streets were literally strewn and the
walls near the convention hall plas-
tered with literature urging the cleo
ton Of Mitchell to the Supreme Chan
cellorship. So fragrant was the abuse
that the Supreme Lodge passed or
ders forbidding similar methods of
campaigning in the future.
he present controversy, IKE those
in the past, arises from the inordinate
ambition of Mitchell to gain control
OF the Order. Just how "hoggish" he
is is shown by his taking and holding
every leading office in the organiza-
ton in his own state. He is Grand
Chancellor, Brigadier General of the
Uniform Rank, and Grand Worthy
Counsellor Of the Order of Calanthe,
the woman's department. This ten
dency to gobble up every thing, to be
the whole show, has created consid-
cradle distrust among the Pythians
at large, very few Of whom are in
sympathy with Mitchell or those
whom he is leading out of the Order.
1t is suspected that he will now join
forces with the Eastern and Western
hemisphere branch of Pythians, which
in view of what has been said is not
to be congratulated upon this acces-
sion to it's ranks.
