Again we have too many aspirants for office. To hearthem tell it they don’t want anything, but at the same time holding out their hands, reaching. Then, on the other hand, comes in the chronic kicker. Another mistake we make in secret orders—fighting men and women that can assist the order from several stand- points, finance, influence and brains. Another great mistake is made in put- 3 ignorant people in Presiding cer’s places. What is the result? Confusion and bad feelings. Take Being! Presiding Officers, the first ing they do will be to break up the institution, Tell them about laws ; they will make laws to suit the ocas- sion, doing away with the laws laid down for the government of the order. No person should accept an office that is unabie to master the same. Again we should always remember the bridge that carries us over, for the simple reason that we may want to re- cross at some future period, and the bridge may be gone. The following points if followed will break up the strongest order in ane world: Back-bitting, violation obligations, ignorant officers, failing to follow the principles of the orders, chronic kickers, getting away with the coin, usurpation of powers.
