1H WASHINGTON BEE SECRET ORDERS EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS. There is one thing that must be ta- ken into consideration relative to the running of Orders in this day and time, viz : Intelligence will predominate over ignorance. In looking around it will be found that in this day and time if you are not up to the times you are re- coved from the scenes of action. In Order to cope with the progress of the times, you must have intelligence in- dividually or be able to command the use of the same from others who pos- sess these qualifications. There is ev- erything Sy eer understanding their positions and not allowing this one to pull them by the nose and that one to follow suit. What isthe result? Con- fusion follows; the moment confusion enters, bad results are the conse- quence. Every man whoaspires should be able to master the situation. [General Orders No. 4.] Grand Commandery K. T. D.
