“There is one, and only one Masonic way to seek office and that is by best
deserving it. Office gained and held by merit is an honor to the bearer,
and to those who bestow it, otherwise a dishonor…There is more satisfying
enjoyment to the well balanced and trained soul in deserving success,
though not attained, th an anyone can feel by attaining it unde served.”

- Cornelius Hedges,
Grand Secretary of Mont ana 1872-1907
