than year of severe illness passed to

cessor in the United States Senate is
settled:
political gossip of the past week
has tended toward prophecy that,
this being a Democratic year." the
Republicans would probably choose to
kill Senator France off by the indirect
policy of letting denomination go to
him by default and leaving it to the
Democrats to slaughter him for good
and all.
That is not an unknown method
of execution. But it is one that
party managers can practice with less
unfortunate results to the party when
they have an impracticably good can
didate to kill off than on a motor
iously bad one. The Republicans of
this State have the right to ask for a
candidate whom, even though defeat
were certain, they could vote for
without humiliation. Under the pres
ent primary law of the State it is not
the party managers business to select
candidates; but the fact is that pur-
suit of an ostensible "hands-Off" pol
icy might in this case be the exact
equivalent of selecting DR.. France.
When such misfortune as that
particular nomination threatens, it is
certainly the party managers bust
ness to look for and encourage some
desirable man to enter the contest
against him. This is not a time for
mere passivity. The Republican
organizations support will go where
its leaders tell it to go; and if it goes
to Joseph |. France, it will be be-
cause the leaders are willing that it
should do so. In view of the record
Senator France has made, this would
be nothing more than the prostitution
of the party to a cheap political game
and the party would be long in re-
covering from it.
Second, the suggested course is
predicated on the assumption that
this is going to be a Democratic
year. The primaries are six months
away; election is eight months away.
There are plenty of indications that
unemployment has passed its peak,
that trade is reviving. By summer,
ratification Of the Conference trea-
ties will have brought our interna-
| tional relations out Of confusion. If
things took an upward bound, the
/ political situation might change over
night. We are not in the least dis
/ posed to measure the "offness" OF
this Republican year by the noise
/ Democrats are making or by the re-
suits 'of the last election in Balti-
more city-when the Republicans, in
stead of trying to hold their acces-
sions of independent strength, gave
even their own party mighty little
inspiration to go and vote for the
ticket offered.
Anything may happen in six
months. And assuming, for instance,
that John Walter Smith will be the
Democratic candidate, it is absurd to
contend now that even a good, strong
Republican would be hopeless before
him

Oak Lodge No. s, |. 0. 0. f.

The interest in the meetings of
Oak Lodge continue to increase with
each session. The members who are
living nearby and have not been at
tending lodge for several months,
have been missing some very inter
esting and delightful evenings by fail
ing to be present to participate in
the teachings and principles Of Odd
Fellowship and the privilege OF meet
ing and greeting the brethren Of our
great fraternity. 1t is to be hoped
that those who have not been present
for some time Will arrange to attend
every session in the future.
There were several applications re
ceived on last Wednesday evening
by members Of the different automo-
bile parties from persons wishing to
accompany them on the trip to Balti-
more and return. There is still room
for few more.
The Truth rally held in Baltimore
on the 22nd inst. far exceeded the
plans and expectations of the commit
tee in charge, they having made ar
engagements for a class of five hun
dred. When the appointed time came
for the comforting of the degrees it
was found that there were more than
thousand candidates present.
A meeting will shortly be held for
the purpose of resuscitating Garrett
Encampment No. 81. Those who were
former members of this branch of
Odd Fellowship are urged to see Past
Grand C. W. Shipley if they desire to
be reinstated The sublime teachings
of the Encampment are such that ev-
cry member of the subordinate lodge
should receive.
That Odd Fellowship now has a
place among the moral forces of soci-
ETY. cannot be questioned. 1t is no
mere experiment. 1t is reality. 1t
is not now like the ark of Moses, wo-
ven of rushes, but it is like the ark of
Noah, built of trees of the forest and
anchored upon the rocky mount after
the storm has passed, and with the
radiant bow of hope arching over it
in the heavens.
From small and humble beginnings,
started in this country by that worthy
man whose name we honor, Thomas
Wildly, the order has struggled on
through poverty and reproach until
it has won its place among the gigan-
tic forces of American National life.
From five men who composed the first
lodge meeting in Baltimore in the
year 1919, the order has grown to its
vast proportions until now it is the
largest fraternal organization in the
world, the following table showing it's
present standing:

intention Of establishing a laundry.

to open he decided that this point
had been fully looked after insofar as
