another as the big majority of peo-
pie in this country is Joiners. and
also know that the Joiners thinks
they must be something wrong with
the rest of us. either that We tried
. to horn in some order and got black
bald or else we are just plain nuts.
WELL friends. with your kind in
dulgents 1 will try and say a
few wds. in behalf OF ths non-Join-
to get in no lodge and yet flatter
ourselfs that We can pass a lunacy
test as good as the Grand Worthy
Lama of the Loyal Order of Carl
bous but l want it understood to
begin with that ] haven't nothing
vs.. no lodge or no quarrel with peo-
pie that belongs to them. in fact
some Of my best friends is Odd Fell
lows.
Well one of the Joiners' arguments
is that the lodge helps a man in
their business as 1t gives them a
chance to meet wealthy brothers that
they can do business with them. Well
that is o. X. if your business is
selling grape fruit or stosies or
something but it don't get you no.
vhers il you are in some line OF
business like driving the sprinkling
wagon or ensign at a grade crossing.
and personally I don't know of no
case where a editor bought a story
because him and the author was both
hp
was a Moose and the writer Royal
Arcanum.
Argument No. 2 is that you meet
the best fellows in the world and
make friends with them. Well our
answer to that is that they's no way
of fn,IinS out which lodge is barber
ing the best fellows in the world as
the witnesses all contradicts each
other and if you ask a Eagle he will
tell you it's the Eagles. but if you
tell a Red Man that you just heard
the best fellows in the world was in
tao Eagles. why he will say that
wtn.-er told you that was not only
q ragIe but a Cuckoo. and so On
ana the only way to make sure Is
order and by the time you had paid
your initi>aion in the Daughters Of
Rebekah ocou wouldn't have no
money leh 20 pay your back dues
in the Alligators.
Argument No. 3 Is that when you
get In trouble the lodge will help you
out but / generally always have
pretty good success with niblick.
Argument No. IF you belong To
some lodge end you want to play
around down town nights, you can tell
the Mrs you half to stay down and &c
10 lodge. Well all the wives / ever
had was 81 tickled to have you stay
down on -@ne acct. that they didn''
care if it was lodge or the annual
meeting Of the League of American
Rhubarb raociers.
