Statements OF
Leaders i'm the
TzOO Factions

CBy James MCNAMARA. moor leader OF
the Administration forces)
The result OF the Rock Island county
camp meeting yesterday was, l think,
surprise to everyone. Our forces
were IN control of the county camp.
for we had the chairman. Neighbor Z.
+. johnson. clerk OF camp No. 26, the
largest camp IN the county. having
about $3.50 members and 80 delegates
in the county camp. We went into
the meeting prepared. OF course. to
give and take IN the matter OF parlia-
mentary procedure and tactics. but We
were not looking for what actually
occurred there. No one ever suspect
ed for a moment that the opposing fac
ton would attempt 10 name a chair
man who was a member OF a contested
delegation and whose right to seat
in the county camp was therefore In
question This 10 exactly what was
done, and when the insurgents insisted
on naming a chairman, who was clear
" and unquestionably unqualified TO
act in that capacity. over our protest.
and after notice had been served on
them that what the result would be,
LueTt Wd6 Out JIG SOuASc 1pSA ~ 49,
and we took IL.
However. be IL said to the everlast-
ing credit OF all those who participated
in the county camp. that both sides
were neighborly and friendly. and
while there were several interesting
tits and a number OF amusing incl
dents, at no time was there any feel
ing displayed on either side. Both
factions conducted themselves in such
a manner that there could be no crit
icism and no reproach. Good feeling
seemed to prevail everywhere, and i
am sure that when the county camp
adjourned, it was with better feeling
all around than has existed among the
Woodmen in Rock Island county for
many months past. A friendly contest
Is beneficial and not harmful, and l am
encouraged to believe that the coming
contests in the state and head camps
will be settled on their merits and set
tied correctly: that the atmosphere OF
Woodcraft will be cleared and that the
forces in the society will be unified
and harmonized, and after the Toledo
meeting the star of Woodcraft will
again be in the ascendency.
CBy Phil wiIcher. chairman OF Insur- |
gents.D
The insurgents controlled 125 votes I
TO the regulars 81. We claim the 9TH
er "a, which were the only properly |
credentialed delegates, their creden-
tials having been signed by the consul
and clerk under seal OF their camps.
There was no ssembalce of a contest
in camp 20, where the administration
men were defeated by a vote of 21S to
-, nor in camp 300. where six votes
for the head Office forces were cast
against 131 for the insurgents.
| am well pleased with the results
Of the convention; It is just as l ex-
pected IL would turn out. Referring to
The 81 delegates from camps 13443 and
&c boiling, he said he did not look for
anything else from men who are con-
rolled by the head Office.

PERHAPS THAT CARRIAGE WAS
Recruit May Not Have Been Alto
sether in the Wrong as to the
Upper Furnishings.

The German recruit was being
drilled in military manners-a most
important branch of the art of war as
practised in the Fatherland. For one
thing he had to be taught how to be-
nave on the street-whom to salute,
and when, and all that sort Of thing.
The method of instruction vas to
have the novice walk up and down the
court yard of the barracks, while from
this corner and that non-commissioned
officers kept popping out suddenly and
saying Il am a Royal H~ighness," or
i am the Military Governor" or 81
am the Master of the Royal Dachs-
hunds," or the like exalted titles.
T~hereupon the appropriate salute had
to be given.
Everything had been going on very
well until a mischievous corporal sud
denly planted himself before the re-
cruit and said, Il am a Royal Car
riage." The recruit marched straight
on without taking any notice.
why didn't you salute?" yelled the
sergeant in charge.
L beg your pardon" stammered the
recruit, but l was under the impress
sion that the carriage was empty"

ALL IN THE SPIRIT evlNcED
profession" or "Trade" Have Little
Distinction Without Certain I'm
portant Differences.

1t Is contrary to human instinct to
be idle. Some naturally prefer the
good and live to be useful. Others
evilly inclined. If useful at all, are SO
by compulsion-in order to live. Be
tween these extremes are the careless
or discouraged, who work only to get
the mea of a living.
We would not be misunderstood as
meaning that, to be a professional
man, one must work for nothing, de-
clares a writer in Power. Neverthe-
less, the truly professional man who
deserves the dignity of that classified
ton makes his chief concern the good
he can do. He is more anxious to be
useful than rich.
Common acceptance of the term
makes all %clergymen, doctors and law
yers professional, but, more is the
pity, some in their ranks forget that
the mission of service is fundamental,
the acquisition of wealth incidental.
Just as there are these exceptions
among those supposed to be of these
professional classes, there are many in
the humber walks considered to be-
long to the trades, who care more to
excel in their lines than for anything
else. They have a pride in their work
and will do as conscientiously whether
their wages are high or low.
We submit that the real distinc.
ton between profession and a trade
is the spirit in which it is usually fol-
lowed. Viewed in this light, your vo-
cation is the one or the other accord
ing to whether o engage in it for
what you put in 1t, or what you get out
of it. In other words, whether you
work for the love of it, or for the
money it brings.
