That is, if we can benefit the patron, we hope to be benefited by the patron. Our correspondents are so often asked to make mentions of concerts, entertainments, rallies and other events that are to bring the managers an income. They never tell or give the correspondent something to send the paper, to pay for publication. Some are so brazen as to ask these favors without so much as giving the local correspondent a complimentary ticket, to say the least. If they are to give nothing, ask nothing. The "Conservator" ask no man's family or community for anything except a "square deal". This we shall give to all, leaving it to them to serve us as they deem best and wise. To write up an affair after it is over is news but to speak of its happening in the future is advertisement.

Its stay may be profitable to humanity, if its true purposes are carried out. Among the ancient, the fraternal life was wide spread and its usefulness was every where discernible, because the fraternalist of that day paid strict observance of his oath and obligations. The spirit of fraternalism is to strengthen bands or aggregations of good men and women in the various pursuits. Its scope includes all honest, intelligent and worthy citizens. Shiftless, irreputable or vicious characters can play no part in fraternal organizations; because they are not capable of embracing and carrying out the teaching necessary for its maintenance. Fraternal life is sustained by those, who follow its teaching, observing inviolate the obligations taken at the time of their induction into the mysteries of the inner walls. These obligations imposes the duty of looking after the honor of the brother's home wife and children. A betrayal of the trust bestowed by these sacred obligations should be met with the severest condemnation. Irresponsible individuals should never be permitted to receive those sacred oaths that only honorable men can fully apprehend and observe. Hence, when new lodges and other secret organizations are being formed, a careful selection of those, who enter, mean much as to the future usefulness of such organizations in that community. Men are made better or worse by being tied by the bonds of fraternalism we may safely anticipate the the formation of better men, in character, usefulness and general worth. Teach all men the true spirit and scope of fraternalism and the world will be greatly bettred. THE VOICE OF THE NEGRO. Edited by J. W. E. Bowen and J.
