Both the story as to the resignas

intended to appeal to prejudice, and
disclose the extent to which the Lilly
leaders will misrepresent facts in an
attempt to gather support to their
declining cause.

WHAT G. c. ATWOOD, OF
MINNESOTA HAS TO SAY

Suspending a brother for the non
payment of dues does not sever that
tie; the suspended brother is still a
member of the Order and is subject
to its laws and discipline, so that,
should asuspended member be deem
ed guilty of conduct sufficiently un-
Pythian as to justify the ,preferment
of charges against him, he can be
summoned to appear before his lodge
to answer to such charges and if
they be sustained he may, although
a suspended member, be expelled
from the lodge and from the Order.
It may be news to many of the men,
bers of our Order to thus learn a
suspended member is still a member
of the Order and entitled to the
courtesies of such fraternal affiliation
although not to lodge privileges. Let
US change our attitude toward these
suspended brothers; let US act to-
ward them as if no cause Of separa-
ton had come between US and as if
we were determined to ever remem-
Der those solemn words, "Even un-
til DEATH" In other words, let US
practice what we teach in our ritual
and be unobservant Of every supreme
law or grand statute which conflicts
with that teaching.

WHAT is TO BE FUTURE "
OF THE RURAL SOUTH?
Tennessee School Teacher Stresses
Difficulties of Making the School
house the Community Center.

"What is to be the future of the
rural South?" asks. Elizabeth Denty
Abenathy, Tennessee school
teacher, who has given the subject
careful study. GAS a rural teacher
always in touch with rural eondi-
tions, I have been asking myself
this question for many years. AS
yet have found no satisfactory an
swer. In all seriousness, what do
we mean to do for the children of
the rural South? A recent letter in
Wallace's Former interested me
greatly because the writer is rural
teacher and states facts as she
knows them. She says: ~
: , "'People in town have very little
idea of the condition of the rural
schools. There is small equipment
and practically no library. We talk
about making the school house the
social center and plan to organize
neighborhood clubs at the school,
house, etc., when the schoolhouse
is nothing but a "poke." We can

community, much less the parents
also. And yet the one great need
of the rural district is the coming
together Of district forces for the
study and discussion Of community
problems. .s.. ~
\ "T have eighteen pupils and
eight grades. We have about thir-
Nty recitations day, and I do not see
how we could possibly get along
with less. A teacher is, supposed to
plan the recitations, which is all
right and the proper thing; but if
you had thirty to plan and prepare,
I am afraid you would get very lit
tie Sleep 49,. .s
"May suggest plant for better
ing these conditions? Let every
man and woman who would help
the children Of the South, take time
to visit the one-teacher school of
our. rural districts. Seek first-hand
information. Spend an hour or two
with the teacher and watch the 60
ing and coming. Then try to get
the parents and the teacher together
to study and discuss school .ques-
tions. Perhaps such a meeting
would lead to organized effort for
neighborhood Improvement. We new
er know what we can do until we at
tempt what seems to us an impossible
task" 80

-., VIGOROUS STEPS
On Receipt of Proof That England
Is Using Trade Secrets Illegally.
Try Diplomacy First.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Any proof
that Great Britain is using trade sec
rets intercepted from neutral mail
in her struggle for commercial Su-
premacy would probably be followed
by vigorous steps by the American
government to secure abandonment
Of the policy.
A statement during tariff debate
in parliament recently, by David
Lloyd George, the British war secre-
tary, that such information properly
could be put to "any public and ma
tional use,' is regarded by officials
here as opening the way for practices
which would work inestimable injury
to American interests. While the
state department declined to make
any comment pending full inyesti-
CATION of the exact meaning Of: the
war secretary's declaration there
were many evidences that the policy
he suggested was viewed as unsup-
portable in international law. e !
Use Retaliatory Weapon. :.
Discussion of the subject brought
out the suggestion that although the
Phelan amendment denying use of
American mail, cable, telegraph and
express privileges to citizens Of for
eign countries interfering with Am
erican mails was stricken out of the
retafatory legislation, recently pass
ed by congress, the measure as en-
acted contains authorizations which
might be construed as broad enough
to allow the President to retaliate
against unfair use of the censorship.
Many officials believe that if it can
be shown that British firms, have an
unfair advantage over American
firms because Of legislation passed
as a result Of information gained IL
legally from the censorship, the
President could forbid importation
to this country of the products Of
whatever industries are affected. AS
the disputed illegal use Of the cen
sorship looked to the raising of a
tariff wall against neutral commerce,
and as this wall would be laid by in
dustries rather than by individual
companies, American retaliation, it
is argued, could be pushed as far as
desired. '.
Exhaust Diplomacy First. =.
It has been well understood, how
ever, that the retaliatory powers were
sought from congress by the execu-
tive branch of the government for
use only as last resort and in case
diplomacy failed. Retaliation will
not be seriously contemplated it is
believed, until thorough investiga
ton Of Llyod Georges purpose has
been made and then only if there
are proofs that the trade information
actually is being put to the uses he
suggested.
No surprise was felt here today at
the statement of Lord Robert Cecil,
British minister of war trade that "it
is not likely that Great Britain will
change her blacklist policy at the re-
quest Of the United States" Officials
did not expect enactment Of the re-
taliatory legislation to be met by any
announcement Of concession by Great
Britain but rather by a modification
here and slight change there, till the
whole trade administration has been
leased up and softened to remove the
most threatening of Americas objec-
|tions.

Friendship is life translated into
terms Of practical every day living.
Not one-sided but many-sided, broad
gagged, free, openhanded and prac-
tical living. Disinterested but de-
finite, faithful and firm, real and
true, friendships finer meaning is
life in the best that life can be made.
Neither water nor the air we breathe,
is more necessary to man than
friendship. Without it, he is lower
than, the beast, with it, he is Knight
ly--a demi-god. 5'..
