THE WISCONSIN A NATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPINION AND CIRCULATION Attend the 3d Annual Race Convention at Beloit, Wis., August 6 and 7 VOL. III. TAIL WAGGING THE DOG SAYS TYLER OF THE ODD FELLOWS (By Ralph W. Tyler.) Grand Master E. C. Morris, of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, by virtue of some authority, constitutionally provided or assumed called off the regular biannual meeting of the order for this year Ben. J. Davis, representing another faction, insists that the regular bi-annual meeting cannot be called off, and is preparing to convene his faction in regular convention at New York. This apparent breach in ranks of an organization which at one time was numerically and financially the most powerful fraternal and benevolent colored order in the country—a breach that has grown from a fissue at Atlanta in 1912, to a deep, yawning chasm in 1918 suggests the question: "Is this the beginning of the end, or the first step towards restoration?" During this internecine strife in this once beneficently strong order, the membership has dwindled to a shrunkened total, and its finances to a negligible treasury, causing the rank and file, 'the common people' without a grievance—to wonder whether it is best "to suffer the outrageous flings or fortune, or, by opposing to end them; "whether or not the old ship, covered with the barnacles of greedy and selfish manipulators, should be abandoned to her fate, or sent to the drydock scraped and repaired for another fruitful voyage. Without entering into the causes for the split between the Morris and Davis factions, or vouchsafing an opinion as to which is wrong, there are two facts which stand out in bold relief. First, the larger and most sustaining membership in the Order is in the South—Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama alone mustering a division that dwarfs the total membership in the North. It is hardly to be supposed that the dog will contentedly permit the tail to continue to wag him. Second, It must be admitted that Ben. J. Davis has displayed more constructiveness than any one single man who has rose to prominence in the Order. The record of achievements of nervously energetic, tireless working, farsighted genius for organization, and intrepid fighter is an open book. Go to Georgia, when Ben J. Davis was an unenccompassed projector and administrator of Odd Fellow affairs, and call the roll of the nearly one thousand financial lodges in that state alone. Go to Georgia and behold that Odd Fellow Temple at Atlanta—grand, magnificent, silent, but potential in affirming his wonderful constructive genius. Go to Georgia and note the influence; the heroically brave utterances of The Atlanta Independent, the weekly organ of the Order—and the race in Georgia, edited by Ben J. Davis. Go to Georgia and review the successful battles he has wagged for the maintenance of the Order, and then ask these questions: Has Ben J. Davis been sinned against, or has he been sinning? Is Ben J. Davis the arch-enemy of constructiveness, or the victim of the bolo wielded by buccaneers who would beach the ship for the treasures she carries? I have no disposition to assail the virtues of Ben. Davis' enemies, if they have any. They are at liberty to write their own epitaph—to itemize their good achievements. I'm simply content to point to the fact that at least Ben J. Davis has beneficiently achieved for others, and the record stands in a one-time flourishing membership, financial growth and constructiveness. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows was never designated to be an autocracy with a king to rule indefinitely through an assumed divine right. The order was founded on the principle that the majority should rule, and the keystone in its arch was benevolence for the many, rather than aggrandizement for the few. Perhaps it is well that the Ben. J. Davis faction, representing the many, should hold a bi-annual meeting at New York this year and force the issue to a finality, establish the survival of the fittest, give the dog the right to wag the tail, and NOT the tail to wag the dog. Personally I have no scores to settle with either faction. I am simply venturing an opinion that is prompted by an admiration for the great order's past, and a hope for its restoration for beneficence to the many. —Planet, Richmond, Va. HON. R. L.

In this war-tournament, who serves to win We judge him by his service, not his skin, And in war's brotherhood we hold him kin.

P.'s National President Volunteers Endorsement of Colored Inaugurating Movements for Rights of Citizenship. (Special to the Blade.) Boston, Mass., July 20, 1918: Great interest has been taken here in the attitude of Hon. Moorfield Storey as expressed by himself toward the National Colored Liberty Congress which called 115 delegates to Washington from 30 states and at the close of a whole week's session with five nightly mass meetings had a race petition presented to Congress and entered in the records of the House asking for the enforcement of democracy for Colored Americans. The interest was the greater because of Dr. Dubois' editorial in the Crisis against agitation in war time and the attempt of Major Spingarn to prevent the Congress. Without being consulted at all Mr. Storey sent the following letter to the Executive Secretary:— 755 Exchange Building, Boston, Mass., July 8, 1918. Dear Mr. Trotter: I congratulate you on the success of your Liberty Congress. "Who would be free himself must strike the blow." Sincerely yours, (Signed) M. Storey. MR. and MRS.

SCISSORED THOUGHTS The officeholding politician who uses the flag as a means of covering up blunders or wrongs is employing it for about as noble a purpose as the I. W. W. who makes it serve as a footwiper.—National Republican. There can be no peace with honor or safety to ourselves or to posterity, except a just peace, and there can and will be no other peace. Work for peace accomplishes nothing but the hampering of our effort, the delay of the real peace, and a greater toll of death of America's fighting. Our duty is to war for a just and righteous peace; to work or speak for any other peace is aid and comfort to Germany—injury and disloyalty to our boys in France. General Pershing is wise in calling the best fighting force in the American Army. He has seen the service of the black men in America. He knows their gallantry. He knows their patriotism. The words, "you cannot send me too many black men," are loud, are strong and have a great significance.—St. Louis Argus. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those old fellows who risked the halter by signing our Declaration of Independence did not declare that all Americans are created equal with certain unalienable rights. No, their vision took in "all men." —Wis. State Journal. A GRAND TIME FOR ALL Annual Picnic at Fabst Park, Milwaukee. Monday, July 29th, the Help Mate Household G. U. O. of O. F. will hold their Annual Picnic. Special Ginger Band Music will be furnished. Out of town guests will be in attendance. Tickets are in the hands of the Committee. I PROMISE To Cean my furnace, pipes and chimneys at once. To keep then clean all winter. To run my own furnace this winter instead of putting an ignorant, careless, underpaid keeper in charge of it. To Visit one of the Coal Savings Stations that the local Fuel Administration is establishing in our town. To Learn from the heating experts at the Savings Station exactly how to run my furnace to avoid waste. To Use team-hauled wood as a coal substitute whenever I can get it, even if it costs as much as coal. To Guard every ton of coal and coke and every gallon of fuel oil. To practice these economies that I may save our fuel, thus preventing suffering and coal shortage in American homes, and supplying my government with the fuel power that is absolutely necessary to win in the Giant Struggle against Satanic Might and Evil.
