Decisions.
A shland , Sept. 29th, 187G.
To all L odges of I. O. G. T. in
S outhern O regon : By permission of
the editor of the A shland T idings I
give all the late decisions made by W.
R. Dunbar, G. W. C. T., and will con­
tinue the samo as I receive them. Take
heed and govern yourselves accord­
ingly :
1. No member is eligible to tho office
of W. C. T. who is under eighteen
years of age.
2. The W. C. T. can control the
ante room and order members to come
into the Lodge room. The Lodge,
through the AV. C. T., Las control of
all the rooms of the Lodge.
3. Tho ball ballot is designed to be a
strictly private ballot, and it ia not
proper for one member to tell how
another one votes, ?/..•'<>.>• the Good of the
Order for disciplinary purposes requires
its pulkimtlion.
4 The law fixing the minimum age
at which Lodges can receive candidates
docs not compel a LoJgo to receive a
candidate at that age, but merely per­
mits it. Each Lodge may determine
by its own by-laws what shall be tho
least age at which it will receive can­
didates, so it does not fix the uge at less
than that established by the Constitu­
tion. A dispensation can not be grant­
ed by the W. C. Templar, or any one
else, to admit a candidate a few months
less than twelve years.
5. When a candidate is balloted for
and rejected, any member, whether voU
ing for or against, may move a recon­
sideration at tho same or new/ meeting.
G. If a member re fusos to pay a fine
imposed upon him for disobeying any
of tho regulations of the Lodge, it
should be charged to him on the books
of the XV. F. S., aud it then becomes a
di|£, fur nonpayment of which tho
password may be withheld. Or he may
be tried for contempt in not paying
the fine immcuiatly, and suspended or
expelled as the case may require.
7. In case the XV. C. T. ia re elected,
the junior P. XV. C. T. present becomes
tho acting P. XV. C. T.
8. Tho XV. C. T. has a right to vote
in all cases of balloting. In taking the
vote by tho “usual sign,” Ac does not
vote, except in case of a tie, in which
event he mnst give the deoiding vote.
9. An officer re elected must be in­
stilled.
10. In caso LLero is no one present at
the beginning of tho quarter author­
ized to install officers, the old officers
will coniinuo to act, as tho officers are
to hold their offices until their suc­
cessors are elected and installed.
11. Tho mere fact that a charge is
pending against a member, does not
deprive him. of any of the rights of
membership. He is presumed te bo
innocent until proved guilty, and an
officer elect under charges may be in­
stalled, and is entitled to act in the of­
fice. A man of fielicate sensibilities
will not wish to officiate while charges
are ponding against him, but if he
does wish to do so it is his right.
12. A subordinate Lodge has no right
to adopt a password of its own, in case
the password shall have been commu­
nicated to those not entitled to receive
it.
13. Officers when directed by the
XV. C. T. to leave the hall on duty,
xauko no salutution.
J. R. N. B ell , S. T. G. W. C. T.
There have been some radical changes
in the last century. A hundred years
ago they kissed a lady’s hand ; now
you kiss her lips- that is of course, if
you happen to be behind the wood
pile and nobody is looking, and you
don’t want to disappoint her. It may
take a hundred years to get from hand
to mouth, but we never felt that the
time was misspent.
“Ma, what is lunker?” inquired a
bright looking child, the other day.
“I’m sure I don't know, my son.
Where did you hear tho word ? ” “Why,
at Sunday School. You know they
sing, ‘We’ll stand the storm, it won’t
be long ; we’ll linker by and by. ’ ”
