A. assembly held at Columbus was large and enthus iastic and we print the resolutions of that meeting , which were en dorsed and adopted by the Hast ings meeting , though also adopting < a separate set of resolutions in ad dition , and joined with Columbus assembly in forming a state or ganization to fight the raise in rates and the big reserve fund. The Hastings meeting was no less , , enthusiastic and if anything was'more pronounced in action as if grilling in force with contimud deliberations. Each-step was carefully refern d to the membership for appro\al and the manner in which the right i of referendum was indulged was the best indication that men were of one accord , though slight' changes were expected to suit each idea advanced , and no one doubted - that "every delegate present present - ' ent was alive to the situation. ' It..wasthe spirit of 'To , sugii'osts Adam l > recie of the Hasiinas Tri buue. 2:25 : M W. A marched in a parade at 1:130 : and over 500 , members were in session during' ' t'ie afternoon to speak and vote. | The feeling was unanimous to' ' fight the raise in rates to the bitter ! end , by an appeal for a referen-J dura vote by the members , by submitting - ' mitting the rate question to anoth er head camp meeting called for that purpose with delegates duly elected and qualified to vote upon the q'uestion , or failing in that , by injunction , restraining the head officers from putting rates into ef fect until they can be voted upon by the membership. Failing in all 'these , another state meeting will JDejEalled to take such action as may seem appropriate. We are to work in conjunction with j the Minneapolis convention as far1 as practicable. * . Sonic of the delegates represent- this section of the country i were C. L. Mayes of llushville , j Max E. Viertel of Crookston , 1. M. Rice of Valentine , B. S. Har rington and \V. J. Bryant of Ains- worth and Geo. A. Miles and D. II. Cronin of O'Xeill. A photograph was taken of the \Yoodraen at Columbus before the Y M. C. A , building ; also one of the parade at Hastings. The following resolutions were endorsed by the Columbus as sembly : RESOLVED , That the action of the special Fes-ion of the Head camp in raising the rates of the membership was ill-advised and i unwarranted by the conditions confronting the society ; that such action was not responsive to any ' demand or desire on part of the membership , and that such action is condemned by every Woodman in Nebraska who is not directly or , indirectly connected with the Head camp pay-roll. RESOLVED , That unreserved con- i clem nation is due the head consul and the board of directors in their present attitude of denying to in dividual camps , the right to pe tition and protest against the arbi trary action of the Head camp , and we denounce as cowardly and un fair the attempt of the governing officers of the society to still the voice of protest by threat of ex communicating those who exercise the right of petition and of pre test. RESOLVED , That a special com mittee of five be appointed or elected by this meeting to join the representatives of any other pro testing bodies of Woodmen in this 8fte-br in any other part of the jurisdiction , to personally plead with Head Consul Talbot and the board of directors to call a special meeting of the Head camp for the solo purpose of reconsidering the action taken by the Head camp at Chicago. RESOLVED , That the governing authority of the society be request < ed to immediately refer to the membership in the entire jurisdic tion the question of approval or disapproval of the rates adopted at the Chicago head camp , to the end that when the delegates shall assemble in special session they may have for their guidance the referendum vote of the member ship. RESOLVED , That we enter em phatic protest against the lavish waste of the society's money by the governing officers of the order in their mad effort to still the voice of protest which is being raised by every "Woodman in Nebraska whose voice of indignation has not been hushed by the mufHe of promised salary from the coffers of the head camp. We denounce this use of the society's money as not in harmony with any princi ple of true fraternity , and .regard it as nothing less than an attempt ed loot of the soc'ety's treasury. RESOLVED , That in the history of states , cities , nations and as sociations long tenure of office has served almost universally to work harm to the interests represented by the official , however just and honest may have been his purpose. We believe the welfare of the Modern Woodmen society demands the placing of a limit upon the of ficial terms of all Head camp of ficers , and we pledge the best effort of the membership here represented to the adoption of such a rule in the affairs of onr society. RESOLVED , That the practice of permitting deputies and other ap pointees of the Head camp to par ticipate in the work of the Head camp in capacity as delegates is out of harmony with the best ten ets of our society , calculated to build up an official rule of the order , enabling the governing of ficers of the society to thereby stand in successful opposition to the will of the vast majority of the membership. We recommend the -LUmediate adoption of oJicials and ilieir appointees a deloaate's powers and privileges in any session of the Head camp. RESOLVED , That if , the kindly , loil of thi- and oth \ ; protest - ; r pro- t-jsting bodies of Woodmen shall not serve to lead the governing of ficers of the society to grant our request for a special head camp meeting to reconsider the action of the Chicago head camp , then , in that event , the representatives of this meeting , working in fra ternal relations with representa tive's of other protesting bodies , be and they are hereby instructed to favor the institution of legal action to prevent the putting in effect of the rates adopted by the Chicago head camp until after the date of the regular Head camp meeting in the year 1914. RESOLVED , That the paid ac tuaries of old-line insurance com panics are unsafe advisors of fra- ternalists , and not competent to frame legislation for the welfare of fraternal and beneficial organi zations. We are unalterably op posed to the so-called ' 'Mobile Bill , " or any other form of legis lation which seeks to extract the last remnant of fraternalism from this and other kindred beneficial societies , and to the end that the statutes of Nebraska may not be encumbered and disgraced by the presence of any such legislation , we hereby instruct the proper au thorities which shall represent this meeting in legislative matters to prepare and submit to all camps in this state a plan to interrogate all legislative candidates , and to unite our membership in opposi tion to any and all legislation and legislative candidates who shall be known to be in favor of the so- called ' "Mobile Bill , " or any other manner of legislation calculated to work injury and injustice to fra ternal and beneficial societies. RESOLVED , That every member of the society , however much ag grieved by the action of the Chicago cage Head camp , be earnestly urged to retain his membership for the present. We believe ord er will soon be builder ! upon the present chaotic foundation laid by the Chicago Head camp , and that in due time the dragon of greed will be overcome and humiliated by the dove of fraternity within our ranks. To the accomplish ment of this result we appeal for and expect the hearty assistance of every Woodman who places the love of Right above the fear of arrogant officialdom , rioting in an excess of authority not delegated by the membership of this great society. ing of quality and wear.
