Nothing To Write About.
NOTHING TO WRITE ABOUT .
DURING the troublesome war times , in the early sixties , when the nation with breathless anxiety awaited developments at the front , and the papers were eagerly scanned for news from tho seat of war , and yet there came no news ; the great man at the head of the
New York Tribune sent out still another correspondent to forward the earliest news to the paper ; he was despatched to write , and write quickly , all the news he could gather ; his arrival at the seat of war was duly noted , but no letter came from him bearing any news ;
days and weeks passed , and no letter and no news . Mr . Greeley -wrathfally sent for his correspondent to come home , and the poor scribe tremblingly appeared boforo his chief . Why did you not send any news , was asked ? The reporter pleaded—but , Mr . G-re ' eley ,
there is no news to write about . Then , why in thunder , roared the great editor , did you not write that there was nothing to write about ? I sent you out there to write , write , WRITE ; now , go back at once , and write full accounts of what is going on .
The Masonic editor is in the same plight ; there is nothing to write about , there is no Masonic news . Lodges have " called off , " Chapters only meet and open and close . Here and there , a Lodge has an excursion or picnic , but what can be said about these . Tards and yards of calico ,
oceans and oceans of beer , is all that can be recalled the next day , and that is not Masonry ; nothing to write about ; and yet the readers of the Standard expect to be entertained , expect to find the latest news in their favourite Masonic journal , and we will have to go " back to the
front to write , write , write . As a last resort , we will go to the temple every night next week , and if we find nobody there we will let yon know , or will interview Toney the elevator man , or Kelsey the engineer , or some of the cleaners ; somebody must
furnish news or the Masonic editor will be in desperate straits , News must be forthcoming , even if we have to manufacture it ; the only obstacle in the way of making news is our inherent love of truth . Still , we must have it , and if nobody else will fabricate for us we must do it ourselves , even at
the sacrifice of our good reputation as " Emefch or Truth . " The Masonic department of the Hebrew Standard must and will be kept up , and kept in the front rank of Masonic journalism at every sacrifice that we can make , even during the two worst months of the year , July and August .
And if our visits to the Temple yield no news , we will gather at the corner with some of the old stand-by's , and make our old cronies repeat their oft-told experience in the Masonic world . This department will be a bright star in tho constellation of Masonio journals , even with the mercury at 100 degrees in the shade . —Hebrew Standard .
At Cardiff County Court , on the 8 th inBfc . ( before his Honoar Judge Owen ) , an action waa heard in whioh several members of the Windsor Lodge , Penartb , sued their late Treasurer to recover a sum of money alleged to be due to tho Lodgo . Tho plaintiffs in the action were John H . P . Simpkin , Samuel Dyer Gb . ttrcb . iH , Matthew Cay , and W . R . Corfield , on behalf of themselves and other members of
the Windsor Lodge , and the defendant was William D . John , chemist , Penarth . The action was brought to recover a sum of £ 73 14 s 5 d , alleged to be due from the defendant aa late Treasurer to the Lodge . Mr . John sued by a counter claim for rent and dilapidation of premises . Mr . William Evans ( instructed by Mr . Morgan Rees ) appeared for plaintiffs ' , and Mr . Bailhaohe ( instructed by Mr . Belcher ) defended . The facts of the case wore not fully gone into , but it
appears that some dispute arose , and a new treasurer was appointed , from which the present action arose . A long legal disputation was hold as to whether the parties suing tho defendant John represented the Lodge , and on this point a witness , a member of the Lodge , was called on behalf of the defendant to state that he objected to tbe proceedings as a member of the Lodge . At the close of the discussion his Hononr said he would order a non . suit in the action on
account of the resolution authorising the committee to proceed against defendant not having been duly passed , but with liberty for a fresh action . The counter claim would fail with the original claim . The ri ght Masonio cement is composed of truth and justice ; pnt up in true hearts , and sealed with faith , hope , aud charity ; it is not affeoted by change of climeand be had at the office of good will
, may to men . Try this cement , Brother , it is the genuine article and wears well , warranted not to fade . It is the element common to all creeds whioh gives ita centra ) value to each . It is the fact that the essentials of all creeds are found in the moral code , and Masonry alone combines it all within its circle , without interfering with indi"dual opinion or non . es 3 entials .--He & rew Standard .
