The Woodmen of the World of Oregon
k are arranged for a serie« of demoiii«ra-
tions throughout the entire state this
winter. 1’1.is order has always l»een
active in taking up any matter w hich it
ba« been felt a fraternal society could
do.
When the war broke out the Woodmen
of the World immediately declared that
all the members who enlisted should be
kept in good standing w ith out any cost
on the part of those entering the army.
This action was reinaikable in view of
the fact that many insurance companies
have a clause in their policies making
same void in case of death while in na
val or military service. The patriotic
action on the ¡»art of the Woodmen of
the World was followed by a great many
of the fraternal orders of the country.
Wh<-n the idea was advocated that it
w< uld I m * right and proper and in har
mony with the spirit of Oregen to
er<ct a monument to the memory of the
Oregon Volunteers, the Woodmen of the
World immediately came to the front
and by reason of their series of demon
strations three years ago, gave the
n ovemeut such an impetus that its
ultimate sine ess was immediately HH-
Hured and contributions for the pr<>|M>si-
tion poured m from firm«, corporations,
individuals and socities throughout the
State.
The action of the Woodmen of th®
Wi«rld with reference to the Galveston
g horror1 w as another example of the ord-
. < «>r’A public spirite<Iness. In addition to
Itiany thousands of dollars in death loss
es |>aid by them many more thousinds
of dollars were voluntarily contrih
uted to living sufferers and Head Con
sul F. A. Falkeuburg went personally
to Galveston to distribute
same,
«laying many days and nights ainist the
wreckage, derbis and horrors of the place
distributing the generous offerings of
the metnliership. The order in the
State of Oregon is always wide awakejto
any public movement. No sooner had
I lie lA'wisand Clerk fair been broached
then the Woodmen of the World pre-
¡»ared to assist it. The unanimity of
sentiment in favor of the project which
they are show ing is remarkable. Realiz
ing that it we are to enthuse the entire
nation we must first become enthused
ourselves, the Oregon Woodmen of the
World have chosen a splended method
of making the jieople think and to think
deeply with reference to the 1905 fair
at tbe same time prosecuting their work
of building up their society.
They have chosen an unique badge on
which is a stump (official emblem of the
order) on the face of which appear the
letters ” W.O.W.” These letters arc the
initials of the Woodmen of the World,
hut the Oregon membership have given
it a new title and call it “ Wide-awake
Oregon Woodmen.” There are four ex
posed roots on the stump. Ou the end
of each, which appear sawed or cut off,
are one of the numerals thus completing
the four figures 19-0.5. In Oregon this
winter the Woodmen of the World will
carry on an aggressive campaign secur
ing new members, and their cry in nine
tern hundred and five Candidates in the
state of Oregon, during the winter
1902 3. This whs done in order to more
fully fix in the minds of their memliership
and the public generally the 1905 fair,
it is also the nunilier of candidates the
order would naturally initiate during
the winter anyway. The camps in the
city of Portland have pledged to secure
905 candidates allowing tlie entire re
mainder of the state to furnish the
balance, an even 1000. Following the
usual social spirit ot this order, district
and county initiation will tie held
throughout the entire state.
Several ('amps, which are contiguous
to each otlier, will in each case, hold one
grand joint initiation.
General and local committees to carry
on this work are living organized
throughout the entire state and the en
thusiasm which is lieiug manifested by
the ” choppers” is a surprise to even
those who are conversant with the
activity which always characterizes this
order in all its movements.
The Oregon Woodmen will close their
series of demonstration with great ban
quets and other social events and it is
safe to corM'lude that both the Woehl’s
Fair ami the order itself will receive
»plrndid assist a nee as a result of this
activity on the |Nirt of the Woodmen of
lessons were drawn from the conflict now
being waged. Rev. Roliert Paddock, in
an address before the West Side Young
Men's Christian Association, said :
•■¡t is strange that ministers do not
talk |K>litic*. it is a pathetic condition
of society and Christianity if preachers
fail to take their part in the discussion
of political subjects. Parishioners should
demand that their ministers interest
themselves in politics. A man cannot be
a good Christian if he does not exercise
all the privileges aud duties of good citi
zenship.
"Hundreds and thousands lire selling
their votes every day. What does it
mean ? ft means that those men realize
no responsibility to the state, certainly
not to God, and none to themselves.
Wlint a farce it is now for Christian men
to go to the polls and imagine we have
a choice, We may gain our rights by
attending and demanding those rights
at the primaries.”

There is a movement among brokers
in New York to exclude women front
their business houses and to deny
them the privilege of speculating in
stocks.
Femininity, they say. has
been given a fair chance to show its
adaptability in "the street," and has
failed miserably, reports the New
York Times.
For a long time many brokers have
considered women undesirable patrons
for a multitude of reasons. Of late
the opposition has crystallized, and
«eve ral prominent firms have taken a
bold, determined stand to ostracise
those members of. the fair sex whose
gaming instinct and desire to gut rich
quick prompt them to speculate on
the markets.
The following is a copy of a letter
sent out by a well-known firm of stock
brokers. It show« plainly the attitude
of brokers, and it is not unlike letters
that have been sent out recently by
other firms:
"Mrs. -----.
Dear Madam: We regret to Inform you
that In future we shall be unable to afford
you the privilege of calling at our office
on Blank street. We rtr.d that • • • some
of our best customers consider it ur.dignlr-
fied for women to frequent brokers' offices,
and for that reason beg to ask that In fu
ture you will kindly communicate with us
only by letter or telephone. In this matter
we have used nodiscrimination. Every wom
an who has an account or who has dor.e
business with us will receive similar no
tice by the same mall. Yours very truly,
"Stock Broker», — Broadway.”
“A woman is a nuisance anywnere
outside of her own home,” said a well-
known reputable stock broker to a
reporter who called on him at his of
fice in a lower Broadway skyscraper
the other day.
‘‘In the first place, a broker’s office
is no place for a woman. The average
woman knows little about brokerage.
Business instinct is not innate in the
woman, ordinarily speaking, and,
worse than that, she can’t learn. Tell
her all you know about stocks and
market conditions and practices, and
the next day she will ask you the same
thing again.
“Another thing: The woman who de
sires to trade in stocks, knowing noth
ing of them or the business, wants the
broker to become her confidant, to tell
just where and when to buy or sell.
If she makes something out of an in
vestment made on a broker’s advice,
«he gloats over her shrewdness ‘on
the street/ and the broker gets no
credit whatever. Should she lose, and
every broker must go wrong in predic
tions once in awhile, then there’s the
devil to pay.”
Brokers «ay that a woman does not
seem to be able to realize that there
is a possibility of losing in speculating
in stocks. Therefore she is what a
gambler would call a "bad loser.” Of
course, there is an occasional woman
who knows the market and its sinuos
ities, and is as “game” as any man
on the street. But she is mighty
scarce. The ordinary woman specula
tor and trader makes an awful fuss
when she makes a losing investment.
Sometimes the spectacle is ludicrous
in the extreme, but more frequently
it is a sad one. Many women with
the gaining instinct who, besides seek
ing the excitement attendant upon the
«peculation, hope to get wealthy in a
few days, go into it when the money
they stake is needed for the necessaries
of life for themselves and their fam
ilies. The result of the failure in the
latter instance is pitiable. To
broker it is nerve-racking.

Movement to Exclude Them from
Stock Sale Offices.
Th. Boers have accepted British
sovereignty in Rood faith, and the Brit
ish have conceived an almost exag
gerated re«i>ect and admiration for the
character of the Boer», whom they
frankly despised at the beginning of
the war. There i* one remarkable his
torical paradox to be noted in the out
come of this lamentable struggle. In
the loss of their beloved independence,
in the defeat of their cause, and in
their seeming extinction or absorp
tion. the Boer* have really come into
a new birth as a nationality. It is not
written that a young people capable
of such heroism shall, after practical-
ly dictating terms to the greatest em
pire in the world, permit themselves to
forget that they have had a great part
in the making of history. This is not
a day when small nationalities are
assimilated and yield up their identi
ty; and so. far from this being the
end of the Boer nation, the pence of
Pretoria is the beginning of it. These
Boer farmers were the most obscure
people of European stock in the whole
world. They were far less known than
the Icelanders. To-day they are pas
sionately admired throughout every
nook and corner of the civilized world.

BOER TONGUE TROUBLES.
LanfMft Difficulties That Reuet the
People Who Start Up Mew
Colonie«.
There is no question in South Afric®
of suppression of the language of the
people. The language of the Boer
people of South Africa is a patois
called Taal, based on the seventeenth
century Holland Dutch, with a mix
ture of many strange word«, Kaffir
and English, and with the omission
of most grammatical inflection«. In
that happy tongue you are permitted
to say ”1 is.” It is needless to eey
there is no literature in this patois,
as there is in Hollander Dutch of this
century. The official recognition of
Hollander Dutch dates from 1882 in
the Cape Colony, and is a result of a
political propaganda of the Afrikan
der Bund, says the Pall Mall Gazette.
It was open-ly announced and hailed a«
the ‘‘thin end of the wedge” to prevent
the fusion of the Boer and British
strains of the European people, and to
drive the British into the sea.
Tbe veld Boer does not understand
Hollander Dutch; he dislikes the Hol
lander outlander only a degree lgss
than the British outlander, or than the
French, Italian, German or any other
outlander. He only hears the Hol
lander tongue, or, rather, the seven
teenth-century predecessor of it. in
the text from the seVenteeth-eentury
Dutch Bible read out in the churches
on Sundays by the predikant, or in the
hymns chanted by his fathers of the
low lands, who worsted Alva, prose
cutor of the saints of the Lord.
A very minute proportion of tbe
Boers have any business to transact
in the law courts or public offices, un
less such as are fully acquainted with
English. For a generation before Ma-
juba hill the Ikiers, desiring to give
their children a fair start in their
business dealings with the business
people of the towns, hadf their chil
dren taught English. The English
governess was an institution among
Boers of any position. At the present
moment there are none of the Roer
leaders who cannot speak English;
there are many, of course, who will
not. After so many years of active
political propaganda of the Hollander
Dutch language, in the year before
the war in Pretoria there were only
five per cent, of the case« in the law
courts between non-English-speaking
people.
All business transactions
were conducted in English; sales and
mortgages of farms, sales of mining
*ptions, dealings in stocks and shares,
un'hases in shops of imported goods,
ales in the market squares of agri
cultural produce. Every Boer profes
sional man. every Boer politician, had.
as a necessity of life, to be acquainted
with English.
