The following utterance Of the late
President u. s. Grant on secret societies
is worth remembering: Cali secret, oath
bound political parties are dangerous to
any nation, no matter how pure or how
patriotic the motives and principles which
first bring them together. No political
party can or ought to exist when one OF
it's cornerstones Is opposition to freedom
of thought and the right to worship God
according to the dictates Of ones own
conscience OF according to the creed of
any religious denomination whatever"

Judge Lathrop, in the Boston Supreme
Court, has issued an order that the
Catholic Bishop Of Derry, Ireland, APP
pear and answer to suit brought by j.
O.. Teele, trustee Of the will Of the late
| Mrs. Margaret Bradley, asking for in
structions from the Court. She provided
in her will for the expenditure Of $4,000
to buy land and erect q memorial church
in her native villageof Carndrine, County
Tyrone. She thought Carndrine was
still the thrifty town that she left in 1926,
but today it is only poor farming vii
lage, and could not support the church.
No steps have been taken towards build
ing the structure.
News was brought to Seattle 9 few
days ego of the birth Of the FIRST white

ritory. Mrs. Beaumont is the only white
woman that ever crossed the Chilcat
mountains and descended the Yukon.
The first unmarried white woman to pen
citrate any considerable distance up the
Yukon was Miss Mellen, missionary,
who took charge Of an Indian school at
Forty Mile Greek last spring.

There is general idea that the Presi-
dents salary Of $4,000 a year is all that
he receives. This is mistake. Besides
his salary, the President receives $4,000
to pay the salaries Of his clerks and sub
ordinates. His private secretary has
$500; his assistant secretary, So, $50; the
stenographer gets $500; each Of five
messengers, $1,000; the steward, $500;
| each of the doorkeepers, $1,000; while
other employees are paid in proportion,
down to the man who takes care Of the
fires, who receives 1854. In addition
$1,000 are allowed for incidentals, such
as stationery and carpets; $1250O for re-
pairs and refurnishing; $500 for fuel:
81, 900 for the greenhouse, and $15,0N for
the stable, gas and other incidentals.
