Thirty-sixth street and Broadway. Flynn was
arrested for intoxication. He said he had been
assaulted by three men. 1t was not known
until an autopsy was performed on the 14th

MASONRY is over one hundred years estab. lished, but it is but 100 years since the state grand lodge was established. A century or two is but brief interval in the life time of the order, which dates back to period when the history of all things is very obscure. The claim that it was in full being during King Solomon's temple building days at Jerusalem not credited by all, yet has better proof to stand on than most history of like antiquity. The order has gone on minding its own busi- ness, and hostile only to the bad. All other secret societies are of very modern origin, and more or less initiative of masonry. No religious organization or work has ever been antagonized by masonry. On the contrary no man ever became mason who did not ad- init, or assume to admit, the truth of the foundation principles of christianity. Warred upon by outsiders, it's hand has never been against anything good, but it has gone on it's own course returning no blows received. It is not ''beneft society" Exacts no dues for charitable or benevolent work, and what it does for needy brothers is voluntary and based upon the worth of the brother. None better than unworthy masons know that the order does not sustain or support evil because the perpetrator has become mason, rather it cherishes additional anger against the evil doer who disgraces the order, while at the same time ready to throw the broad mantle of masonic charity over the inadvertent or pen itent wrong doer.

A strong sentiment prevails among the constitution makers of North Dakota in favor of abandoning the two-house idea and creating 8 legislature of but one branch with single body of representa- tives chosen directly by the people. It is believed that the lobbyist will thus have his influence curtailei, and the people will be more directly and fairly represent ed. There is something to be said in fa- vor of the scheme as an experiment, al- though it runs counter to the practice pre- vailing since colonial days in the organiza- ton of pretty much all our governmental machinery, from the national down to that of the municipality. By making the legis- lative machinery less cumbersome, it is possible the influence of the lobbyist might be diminished, and it has become ques- tion whether the two-house plan is not g trife unwieldy and unsatisfactory in re- suits where the territory governed is small and compact and the power of the governing body narrowly limited.
