SUBSTANTIAL PROOF OF
RELIABILITY.

Failures and frauds have been so
numerous in organizations of this
character that the public is naturally
SCeptical We cite you the following
evidences of our reliability, and same
may be verified by spending a little
time investigating:
The order is now erecting a Nation
al Temple Building in Little Rock,
Ark, at a cost of 100000, the same
being erected out of the orders sur
plus funds, and no extra building tax
err assessment has been LEVIED upon
the members. This has never been
heard OF in the history of fratenal
orders. This order has never levied
an extra tax upon its members to pay
off any kind Of obligation, and not
8 single instance can be cited during
thirty-two years, where the order has
failed to meet promptly its just obli-
cations to the people. In our En-
dowment department, the ninety-day
waiver, which appears in most certi-
fcates, has never been taken advant-
age of, because the order has always
had sufficient funds to meet it's claims
whenever proof Of death is made. Our
Endowment department is national
and has been inspected from time to
time by various insurance commits
sioners. The order has come out
Of each inspection with flying colors.
AS we grow older instead of decreas-
ing, our Endowment surplus is grow
ing, as the following will show:

President J. H. Murphy assumes
the gayel Of the Press Association
with the hearty good will of the en-
tire newspaper fraternity of the
race. He will go to Muskogee next
August with a record of many con-
crete achievements for "the highest
development Of Negro journalism"
In all probability, there will be
change in the editorship of the A.
M. E. Church Review in 1916.
In the legal, medical and minis
terial callings there is a definite and
memorable code of ethics" the VIC
lation of which is certain to outlaw
those found guilty of such miscon-
duct. Why should not editors be
held equally accountable to some
moral law, which will subject them
to punishment for wilful lying, ma
licious misrepresentation and trick
cry that lowers the tone of real
journalism? Take up this matter,
fellow newspapermen, and see what
can be done about it..

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ORGAN
IZERS.

The order is now conducting a ma
tion-wide campaign for members and
is allowing organizers the most liber-
al contract ever given by any frater-
nal order i'm the world. During the
past twentyfour months we have or
sanized 500 new lodges Some or
ganizers have earned as high as $500
per month. We allow oranizers,
under extension plan, to set up local
lodges for the price of the charter fee
For instance, an organizer would set
up a temple of sixty men at So each;
that would amount to $120. His
charter would cost SIS, leaving him
net profit of sos. We are anxious
to engage active young men and wo-
men in all parts of the United States
to organize lodges. Especially are
we anxious to secure organizers in
Illinois, Indiana, Virginia and West
Virginia, Maryland, North and South
Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania,
New York and Kansas. This offer
will not remain open indefinitely, and

SHOULD TAFT INTERVENE?

President Taft is to be commended
for his firm stand regarding the Mex
ican disorders. The hands off, policy
which he has maintained throughout
the entire revolution is thoroughly ap-
plicable now that the war. has reached
an acute stage. Under no circum-
stances should the United States con-
meet itself with the fortunes of its
sister republic.
Intervention would prove tremend-
ously expensive 1t would involve as
well a responsibility of no mean mag
nitude II would provide undesirable
fetters with a country which broils
with dissent. Americans have had
ample time TO make their way safely
from the zone of danger but have fail
ed to do so. Staying behind, they
must incur the risks which they must
have known before would imperil
them.
No doubt American business inter-
ests would welcome Intervention. But
they should have discounted the war
ring tendencies of the Mexicans before
they placed their investments. Heavy
loss of life would result from inter-
vention. The United States would
have to pour large numbers of troops
into the country to effect control
They would have to battle their way
into mountain fastness and wilderness.
The loss of American lives and the
entangling alliances it would precipi-
tate make such action unfeasible 1t
is not worth the effort to protect
business interests and indiscreet
Americans who have failed to avail
of timely warning.
Let the Mexicans do their own bat
tling.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

What will be the outcome of the
struggle in Mexico is the question
which is occupying the attention of the
world just now. The recent renewal
of hostilities on the streets of the
capital shows how deep-rooted is the
discomfort which pervades every Sec
tion of that country. The sole object
of the struggle at the present time
seems to center about the presidency,
and, judging from the number of
aspirants for that position, the hopes
for immediate peace are slight
Since the abdication of President
Diaz in May, 1911, no less than six
prominent leaders have been urging
their claims to the Office. Rebellions
and counter rebellions have followed
one another in rapid succession. None
of the aspirants seems able to restore
order, however. In view of the large
foreign element in their population
and the danger to the vast financial
interests there, it will not be strange
If one or more of the great foreign
powers interfere in the interest of
humanity and stop the useless butch
cry of helpless citizens.
The political revolution seems to be
the most serious obstacle to the per-
manency of government among the
Latin-American republics. The guns
are hardly silenced in one quarter be-
fore hostilities break out in another.
Mexico celebrates this year the one
hundredth anniversary Of her inde-
pendence from Spain. During the
reign of the older Diaz she enjoyed a
period of unequaled freedom from in
ternal strife.
With the exception of Brazil, Mex
