ton OF the L. O. O. M. held in Moose

following resolution WAS passed unani-
mously and with great enthusiasm:
Whereas. the convention Of the
Supreme lodge convened in Indian
apoIis, Ind. In the year OF 1907, at@
tempted to confer tho honor OF past
supreme dictator upon Brother James
J. Davis and Rodney ri. Brandon. and
Whereas some doubt exists AZ to
the effectiveness Of that resolution to
create these brothers past supreme
dictators, and
Whereas, by long and faithful ser-
vice to the order on the part OF ooeh
of these brothers. and because of the
lines OF their endeavor IN the order. 1t
being impractical for either Of them to
serve the fraternity thus far as su-
preme dictator and thus earn the
honor. 1t is hereby 4
Resolved, that Brother James +.

1ncohonee OF the Improved Order Red
Men, viz:
One Of the grandcst principles
taught by the Improved Order Of Red
Men is ITO give honor to whom honor
Is due" and 1t Is the custom with all
good Red Men to give honor to the
great chiefs. to honor to chiefs Of the
tribes. to pay honor to those who by
their ability and gifts. have attained
prominence and fame in our frater-
nifty. It is well that this Is SO; 1t Is
right: it is Just; II LIS creditable to our
organization.
But there is another class of BROTH
ers, who by their devotion TO the order,
deserve both commentator and the
kindest fraternal consideration. / refer
to the faithful few. the "old reliables.
the constant attendants at the meet
ings of the tribe. Many of them never
attain to higher rank than warrior or
brave, and only to these positions when
the needs of the tribe may force their
acceptance They are the men who
keep the fires lit; who sit by the bed
side of the sick brother: who are al
ways seen at the funeral OF q deceased
member. who perform their full share
Oh lHS iaDoF anu feSpofistoliitFs
And there la still another class to
whom we owe, both honor land love
it is the old Red Men--ths grey-haired
brothers who were the workers the
chiefs and warriors In great suns long
gone by. Those grand old fellows who
say we used to know the old ritual
by heart, but it's SO changed nowadays
that we can't understand it," Brothers
they did their work well in those days

TO the supreme secretary to suggest

tho trees were placed either in parks

Your committee on disqualification
OF the ritual submith herewith its re-
suit of the contests held during this
session. Owing to the unusually large
number of degree teams which en-
tered. the labor of the Judges of con-
test was made very arduous and the
thanks of the chairman OF the COM
mittee are extended to those brothers
who so ably assisted in the work Of
exemplincatior. On the first day they
served for sixteen consecutive hours.
with an intermission of one hour for
lunch, and reported at 9 O'Clock on the
second day for a completion of their
labors. which did not terminate until
about IL o'clock r. M. More than twice
the number, of teams that have hereto
fore entered were in the contest, and
while all the teams showed an intelli-
gent understanding of the require
ments of the ritual and increased ef-
ficiency, we must still direct the attea-

will grow keener each year as the
teams commence to understand thai
the markings have been standardized
and that the judges are alert and
check up each departure from the rules
Of the ritual
