The manner :in which the, surplug funds of the Independent Order t of Foresters has been, manipulated by some of the off1ce4rs high iup, in the Order as recently disclosed before the Insurance Commission, cannot fail to have a very disquieting ;influence upon the members or the Order, aid there are many of them tamong our readers. These disclosures go to shim that there are officers in the Order whom the great chief lehould get rid of as soon as possible. But ft is 'satisfying to know that nothing has been disclosed to show that the Society is not in a Ithoroughly, sound and prosperous condition, In fact alt the evidence given is to the effect that no uneasiness need be !felt in this respect. The worst that can be said is, that ,through the scheming of some lee ite officers, the Order was made to assume dangerous rishs, arid speculatioes were undertaken, which, had they proven 'disastrous, would have seriously impaired the finances of the Order, and wield?, et they turn- ed out profitable, the profits would go into the pockets of these officers and not into the funds oft the Ordeal for the' benefit of the imember. In other words these officers were spec- ulating on their own aecount with the funds of the Order, the order Om:ming all the risks and the of- ficerstanding to reap all the pro- fits. When the investigations are completed we may again refer to the si4Ject. In the mean time, "Mack,' Y in Saturday Night, depicts the eituation so accurately, that we adopt his "remarks. He says: "For i some; years it has been a source of delight to Dr. Oronhytekba, gifted !descendant of an illustrious line of Indian chiefs, to Ira in the door of his wigwam in (the midst of a plush a,nd.velvet forest On one of the upper floors of the Temple Build - Ing, and initiate premiers and poten- tates, knights and nabobs, barons of business, and all white • mon ;of em- inence, into the secrete and enyeteries of veooderaft and forestry. All our great men have been enroll,ed tin the order and put through their facings by 'the Doctor himself. Nor was that the end of it. Nobody lint this country. was too big 'e man to ntee the Doc- tor's employ. He surrounded himself with the smartest white men the coun- try could boast and he easily dom- inated them, to the credit be his race. ome years ago Colonel' John A. Mc- Gillivray .promised to cut :quite, a figure in politics,. but he was drawn into the Foresters, and re ounced politics, turned his back on Parlia- ment and entered the lodge, Later -Hon. Dr. Montaigue,:ex-Ca.binet Min- ister at Ottawa, joined the staff.and was sent scouting to,, Australia. Still later, Hon. George E. Foster, Cana- dian ex -Minister ot Finance, was eze- cured by the Doctor at la, SalarY; one haif» or one third that whic,h he 'him- self reeved and earned. The For- esters now had an all-star Icast-Lhalf a dozen big men in the leading ;roles., and a whole, host of celebelties fol- fchlowingi in 'procession, giving the pass-wo ' paying their dues .and waiting nprornotion. "It is a fine order the ;Foresters, and its affairs are directed by one of the cleverest men, red or white, in Canada. But it is impossible to rued .the evidence given before the Insurance Commission by the Doctor himself, by Mr. Stevenson, and by those concerned in the Union. Trust and the Great West Land Co., with- out :feeling that it was about time a ,commission happened along to pull whe whole business `down off the shelves, so that, not only the people, but Dr. Oronhyatekha himself, might weigh and meaeure things up. - If we takethe 'wise doctor's oWn word for It, the business -seems to thave been getting a little beyond his knowledge In some of its branOhes. Parts of the order's surplus appear to have been doing chores that he 'knew nothing of. His eminent subordinates had ideas and interests of their, own. Three of' his chief advisers-Messre, McGillivray, Foster, and Wilson: - were he 'charge of the 'Union Trust Cornpany; which invested much of the funds' of the- oral*. They ,were also ire charge of the Great West Land 'Company, to w'hich large 'sums belonging to the order were 'loaned. As Mr. Stevenson has pointed out, these men were eetengled between conflicting interests; they were both the lenders and borrowers of the money belonging to the order. Near- ly all the money they put! into weet- ern land speculation' was :Foreeter moneys -indirectly the ordeir financed tan extensive land deal, for the ben- efit of a few peersons. ;No' doubt the Oder wile get its money back with interest, but if so we cant thank the land, kot the business methoes adopt- ed. Any risk extitiled was !borne by the order, not the men; any • large gain that might have accrued would go to the men, not to( the order: As lands; go now in the west,, there was little risk, but it does ;not look right that the custodian s of money 'should borro,w it and make' fortunes by its use. This is not what the anembeis of the order expected of els rulers. and it is nOt what the law would -advise in the handling of trust, funds. The I: 0. F. claims- a eery large surplus.'
