FraternaI Brotherhood

large attendance was present last ev, ming, April 4th at the regular meet ing of MariCopa Lodge No. 45 at the k. Of F. hall. Several who have not been with us much lately were present and, realizing what they have been missing in the past will attend more regularly in the future.
 A large crowd of invited guests had gathered in the antiroOm, so the busi- ness vas quickly dispensed with an1 then it was one continual round of r.es sure for the rest of the evening. There vas plenty of ice cream and good homemade cake for all and then too Brothers Kalgaard and Way prov eI tor be efficient men at the candy wheel.
 The Fraternal Brotherhood dances are becoming very popular and the lodge Is advancing rapidly so that when Brother c. w. Dempster arrives for a short visit this month we intend to surprise him with a large class of candidates. It's going to be an honor to the candidates that are fortunate enough to have our Supreme Secretary administer the obligation and initia- tion. BESSIE M. WAY, sec.

fair, among whom We were very pleased to notice Bro. Clm, whose residence outside the city has neces- sitated an absence from our council
 fires, but as he is back in the city again, we will be favored by his prompt attendance and his usual
 strict adherence to the call of duty.
 We missed Bro. Hill, and whilst
 he is the chairman on the enter
 tainment by the Pocahontas, consid- erable interest was manifest by those in attendance in the dance and en- tertainment to be held April 9th. Some seemed to think that the chiefs delegated to hunt the prairie dog for that occasion would noc make good, but if they will read up on the method as employed by our early Red Men, they will find that the chiefs who have that in charge have the necessary qualifications to dispel any misapprehension for fla
 vorable results. First. there is Bro.
 Fitzsimmons, whose long reach will enable him to succeed by the method of grabbing them by the neck; Bro. Davy is undoubtedly able to take care of those who may need to be tumbled over by being hit by rocks or brick bats; Bro. Potteiger being used to the tamper will account for those who need to be clubbed to death and surely we can entrust to the care of Bro. Struckmeyer those poor dogs who need to be gotten out of the hole, and as Bro. Hill and Sutherland actually know the spot where the beavers are plentiful, the beaver tail soup is an assured fact.
 As the time-April 16-is drawing near for the Aztec Sun Fete the in terest is once more centered on the historical trail of the Mohawks and the early colonists and the rescue Of Capt John Smith by Pocahontas.
 The chiefs who have the float in charge will not harass the tribe by an attempt to strict adherence to the plain historical record, but will be governed by Thackeray's poetical description, as follows:
 "Wearied arm and broken sword, Wage in vain the desperate fight,
 Round him press countless horde; He is but single knight;
 Hark. a cry of triumph shrill,
 Through the wilderness resounds-
 Sinks the warrior fighting still.
 "Now they heap the funeral pyre, And the torch of death they light. Oh, 'tis hard to die by fire.
 Who will shield the captive knight? Round the stake with fiendish cry, Wheel and dance the savage crowd. Cold the victims mien and proud And his heart is barred to die.

The control she exercised over the children is only one that can be ac- complished by a person who has de-
 voted several years of ones life to
 the faithful study of the child as Miss Ellis has done.
 Miss Florence Cisney won the | prize for being first in the rabbit
 race, for the little girls under six years of age and Harry Sharpe car
 ried off the prize for the boys in 1 the same division.

 Thanks and our appreciation is given Miss Ellis assistant, her work in aiding Miss Ellis and presiding at
 the piano was very creditable. | Everyone enjoyed the refreshments | and were Outspoken in their appre- l citation of the grand success of the 1 knights as entertaininers. The keen delight shown by the l children more than compensate the /, K. of P.'s for the splendid entertain f ment and we only hope we may be able to entertain two hundred next year.
 We wish to extend our thanks to
 the Pythian Sisters of Purity Temple No. 9 for their hearty cooperation for the entertainment would not have been a success without their valued assistance

 Comrade Abbott told us, how he had left the rigorious climate of Spokane, Washington, where he was at the point of answering the last roll call and came to Phoenix, some years ago; and regained his health.

Our Easter entertainment for the children last Friday night was a de- cided success and the youngsters en- joyed themselves to their hearts content. We entertained one hun dred children and two hundred and forty big children"
 The committees arrangement of the decorations was very beautiful blending harmoniously with the lighting effect.
 The altar in the center of the room was draped with blue and white paper bunting. Upon the altar was a large basket tastefully ar ranged and filled with Easter eggs of various colors and designs. Among the eggs was placed a little white bunny. He was placed in the atti- tude of hopping and in his mouth was a bright red carrot. It was one ot those kind of rabbits that would prick up his ears when you moved his tail downward. It was later given as a prize to the youngest Pythian baby in the hall-Pauline Claflin.
 From each chandelier. of which there were thirteen. was suspended gay colored basket, filled with Easter eggs of various colors.
 The colored lights from the chan deliers, through a very soft light of red, white and blue over the gather ing, making a very pretty color eff feet The altars were dressed with myrtle, and upon each was placed a very beautiful vase of American Beauty roses. To each youngster was given a small Easter basket, ap propriately decorated and filled with small candy Easter eggs.
 The grand march started at eight o'clock, with seventy-five little tots in line. being added to by late ar rivals, making in all about one hun dred. Miss Lucy Ellis had supervi- sion of all drills and marches. Her work was very much appreciated.

TURN ON THE LIGHT.

P. A. Badour, editor of The Oconto
Enterprise and president of the Wis
consin Democratic Press Association,
strongly backs up the demand of The
Milwaukee Journal for publicity in the
matter of receipts and expenditures by
the Wisconsin Taxpayers league. The
Enterprise says:
The Milwaukee Journal commenda-
bly, is asking the Wisconsin Taxpayers
league some very pertinent questions,
and in view of the fact that the organ
ization was back of Mr.. Philips candi
dacy it would interest us very much if
its questions were answered. The main
question is: where did the league
get the money with which to carry on
its campaignf" We hope the Journal
will get the information it seeks.

Democratic Opportunity.

Milwaukee Journal: The Democrats
in Wisconsin can let the matter of their
next national committeeman GO by de-
fault or they can face the issue and do
the thing that needs to be done.
The only hope of Democracy in Wis
consin lies in being Progressive Dem
ocracy. We can see situation in
which Wisconsin may become Dem
ocratic state, provided the party is not
in the hands of Tories Or Reactionaries.
So far as Democracy is concerned,
much will depend on the course pur-
sued by the new governor, Mr.. Philip.
If he goes about the affairs of Wiscon-
sin in businesslike and sensible man
ner, he will appeal to men of all parties.
But if he develops reactionary tenden-
cies, of which there are some indica-
tions, he will build up the Democratic
party. An astonishing thing was the
bitterness Mr.. Philip showed in his
speech at Appleton on the tax commits
sion. The Tory Democratic and Re-
publican alliance of 1919 to destroy the
income tax is still fresh in the minds of
the people, and if it cannot be destroyed

have been in reality the silent partner
big business, and now that there has
come the promise of some regulation
that will in large part prevent mono
polistic Capitalization. the people are
interested in getting their share of re-
turns that can come only with opera
ton at a profit. On the other hand,
the managers of the large corporation,
the trustees of the investing public, are
beginning to see that certain financial
security goes with public confidence,
and that the attitude to the public so
tersely expressed thirty years ago by a
pioneer in railroad financing does not
pay dividends today.
While European countries have been
mobilizing their armies and calling to
the field of battle their reserves of SOL
diers, America has modified it's credit
and begun to send forward to the
market place its vast reserves Of food
stuffs and mineral products.

PRESS POINTS

Platteville News: The school house
is the place for public meetings and the
best way to bring about the public
meetings at the school house is to or
ganize a Social Center movement and
have all public questions discussed
there. If the average citizen gets the
facts correct on any public question he
can be trusted to do the right thing.
Bloomington Record: The big "vic-
tory some Republicans are claiming
at the recent election would have been
given the Democrats majority of 100
votes in the electoral college in presi-
Dental election. So long as the Re-
publicans rejoice over that kind of a
victory there should be no difficulty
about re-electing President Wilson in
two years.
BIanchardville Blades: All mac
adamized roads constructed in Green
county in 1915 will be oiled before they
are pronounced complete. A very good
idea. 1t should be done in every coun-
ty in state where these roads are built.
1t preserves them to great extent.
Waterloo Democrat: The city of
GAINESVILLE is very proud of the record
made under the commission form of
government which was adopted two
years ago. The tax rate per thousand
dollars has fallen from $3.50 to 1926.
and this in spite of the fact that more
permanent improvements have been
made than in any 3 years together
previously. The city has three COM
missioners who devote their entire time
to the business of the city and who
have charge of all the city business ex-
cept the public school management.

Increase Of Food Imports.

Springfield Republican: So much
has been said about the ruinous effects
of the new tariff on American manu- :
features that the imports for the 10
months ending October 80 furnish in
teresting information. Let us take it
from the politically colorless Brad
streets, which says:
Imports for 10 months, it will be
seen, gained $4,000, 600, or per cent,
over the like period year ago; but this
entire gain is more than explained by
the increase of $92, 100000, or % per
cent in the imports of crude and partly
manufactured food products and ami
mails.
What's the harm in making easier
imports of food? And where was the
harm to the other Industries in an in
crease of food imports?

SAFETY FIRST.

The Chicago Tribune and other third
party newspapers are discussing the
question "Where will the Progressives
go2"
1t will be even more important what
patriotic men of independent thought
and action do in the primaries of 1915
than what they do at the polls in
November of that year. These men,
who put country before party, often
turn the scale for good in presidential
elections. But unfortunately they only
exercise a part Of their citizenship. In
their struggle for self government the
colonies had long been accorded the
right to elect before they won the right
to nominate. At that time Crown ap-
pointed secretaries made the nomina-
tons; and they could only vote to elect
or reject. Now in many states the
nomination of candidates is hedged
about by laws as we'll as is the election
of candidates to office. And the nom
ination of candidates is often the more
important part of the work of self gov
eminent. Because unless the names of
worthy men are placed upon the official
ballot they can never be elected.
Under President Wilson's leadership
the Democratic party is progressing;
while the Republican party, dominated
by Rose Penrose and others, is pulling
backward. Independent, patriotic men
who would do their full share of the
work which devolves upon them as
good citizens should come at this time
into the Democratic party. Their SER
vices are needed to renominate Mr..
Wilson, and to nominote forward look.
ng men for senators and represen ia.
tives, and for other offices. The safe
course is to make sure that the Demo
cratic candidates shall be progressive.

One Of the Reasons.

In paean of republican thanksgiv
ing the Philadelphia Press declares that
the republican party "does not believe
in White House dictation to Congress
and the tyrannous rule of King eau
GUS" That is interesting; certainly
one of the reasons why the republican
party went out of power was that it
had for SO long submitted to worse
rule than that of king Caucus" the
rule of Joseph g. Cannon and the pur-
blind crew around him. = Springfield
