Because The Frontier stated two
week3 ago that "J. A. Donohoe made
a good record when in the state sen
ate three years ago and that if he were
nominated for congress he would be an
agresslve candidate,” Brother York,
the talented editor of the Atkinson
Graphic, accuses us of booming Mr.
Donohoe in opposition to Congress
man Kinkaid and warns us that
friends of the congressman throughout
the county might retaliate by elect
ing a democrat to the position now
held by us in the legislature and for
which we are a candidate for re-elect
ion. We believe that Brother York
owes it to us; to publish the item
whloh he complains of and to allow his
readers to judge whether or not we
are boosting Mr. Donohoe. Tire lines
quoted above is the substance of the
article and all that concerned Mr.
Donohoe and for the life of us, if we
are able to understand the English
language, we are unable to tind where
in it booms Mr. Donohoe for the con
gressional job. It Is true we said Mr.
Donohoe made a good record when he
represented this district in the state
senate and according to our idea he
did. Is it lese majesty In the opinion
of our republican brother editor to
give credit to a democrat for making
good, even if he believes he has done
so. This district has been represent
ed in the state senate by many dem
ocrats aDd we call to mind now no
other democrat whom we could say
made good in that capacity. But say
ing that he made good does not mean
that The Frontier will support him
for congressman. He does not bolong
to our political party and The Fron
tier during the twenty years that the
present editor has been connected
with it has always faithfully and loy
ally supported the republican nomin
ees and will do so in the coming cam
paign, bellveing that republican poli
cies are better for the people of this
country than democratic. That Mr.
Donohoe will be an aggressive candid
ate, If he suoceeds in winning thenom
lnation, no man who is acquainted
with him will deny, so why not
admit It.

Insurging Woodmen.
The O’Neill delegates sent to the
Insurgent conventions of the Modern
Woodern called for Columbus and
Hastings to protest against the in
crease of rates in the order, returned
the latter part of the week and report
splendid meetings in both cities and
that the sentiment all over the state
is practically the same, that is united
in protest against the increase in
rates.
The Columbus meeting was held
last Monday and was attended by 120
delegates, represttng 18000 Woodmen.
At this meeting resolutions were
adepted severely censuring the offici
als and the membership of the Chicago
head camp for the great and unneces
sary increase in rates adopted there.
A state association was formed for
the purpose Of protesting vigorously
against the leveylng of the proposed
increase and lines of proceedure, to
gain the desired end, mapped out.
A complete list of officers were elected
for the association. A committee of
live were apointed to represent the
Columbus convention at the Hastings
meeting aud were authorized to get
together with the Hastings meeting
if possible so that there would be but
one organization in the state to tight
the proposed rates, as the members
believed that one good effective light
ing organization would make more
headway than two organizations who
would probably get to scrapping among
themselves. To the end that nothing
would prevent the merging of the two
state associations, provided their plat
forms did not contllt, the committee
were given the resignations of all the
officers of the Columbus meeting and
were authorized to till their places
with other members if they deemed it
necessary for the advancement of the
cause they were all interested in.
The Hastings meeting convened
Wednesday morning and when the re
port of the committee on resolutions
was read it was found that 380 deleg
ates were present, representing over
40,000 Woodmen in the state of Ne
braska. It was a splendid gathering
composed of some of the ablest men in
the state and they were all there with
one object in view and that was to
protest and protest vigorously against
the enormous Increase in rates as
levied at Chicago.
The resolutions which were adopted
at Hastings are the product of the
committee on resolutions of the Hast
ings convention and the committee
appointed by the Columbus conven
tion and as stated by the chairman of
the committee were ‘‘a treaty of peace
or a declaration of war, depending
upon the attitude to be assumed by
the head officials,” committed the in
surgents to the following line of
action:
1— To secure the submission of the
entire rate question to the entire
membership for a referendum vote.
2— Falling in the first to endeavor
to secure a meeting of a newly elected
head camp for a reconsideration of
the rate question.
3— Failing in the first and second,
to institute legal proceedings to pre
vent the enforcement of the new
rates pending consideration of the
question by the next regular head
camp.
4— Failing in all these, to call
another convention to take such act
ion as the circumstances may require.
Woodmen, Yes We Can Stay.
Leonie, Nebr., March 24,1912,
Editor Frontier: Answering an ar
ticle of last weeks issue, in which my
name was used, and was signed by
John A. Robertson, 1 will simply say
that his table of estimations and
everything contained therein, (with
the exception of some erroneous state
ments and the misleading appearance
of the way in which it was got up) is
a positive argument in favor of the
Modern Woodmen rates as adjusted.
Bistable shows that it is necessaay
for the society to collect just the am
ount of the rates (according to age,)
that are applied in the new rate, and
If put into a reserve fund, working all
the time and accumulating at the rate
of 40 per cent compound Interest
(provided of course that every man
lived to his expectancy) necessary to
enable the society to guarantee the
payment of each contract now in force.
His slam at absence of fraternal con
ditions is unjust and unoalled for and
reason will show you the insurance
feature is entirely a separate and dis
tinct feature from it. You cannot
pay insurance cantracts with broth
erly love aud good fellowship feelings,
but you must pay them with the al
mighty dollar and nothing else will do
it.
His (i per cent estimation is higher
than would be possible, with a large
amount therefore is out of the ques
tion.
His assertion that you would pay in
more thau $1000 on each $1000 carried
is contradicted in his own table show
ing you the amount you actually will
pay in up to your full expectancy, the
balance Is accumulated for you after
your money has been paid into our
treasury, thus showing his statement
to be absurd and exactly contradicted
by his own figures. I would not like
to think that Neighbor Robertson has
made this mistake intentionally to
mislead some unsuspecting neighbor,
whohasnot time or inclination to
look into this proposition for himself,
and would necessarily be led In the
footprints of one so intluental and well
informed on all questions of interests
as he is, so we will have to call it a
common mistake, probably for the
reason that he did not take time to
review his work before going to press.
In condeming the head officers of
the society, he is I think hasty, call
ing his attention to the fact, that this
plan was reviewed and studied by 788
delegates composed of the societies
members, after which 436 voted In
favor of the plan that was adopted,
which looks like the only (or rather
one of the only plans of a like char
acter) that would pull the order out of
the present rut and enable it to stay
out for all time without calling more
than 12 assessments per year.
He condemns the term insurance
and it is a matter of fact the only
kind of insurance he has had in the
Modern Woodmen since lit has been
doing business, and the term was very
indetinate. Now it should be perman
ent. Why take a chance when you
can be sure.
Fraternally,
O. B.Hatch.

The Live Stock Market
South Omaha, Neb., Mar. 26, 1912
The “sticky” beef market at the
close of last week was still in evidence
the fore-part of this week and while
the market is unevenly lower
it is scarcely enough to make
any alteration in range of
prices, the decline showing on the in
between kinds. Cow, heifer and
butcher stock, generally, continue
firm. The general demand of consum
ers calling for this class of meat rath
er «than the more expensive kind
which is beyond their reach. The
better weather is making a healthier
tone to the Stocker and feeder trade.
