chairman of the committee having charge
of the plans for the building of the Ma
sonic Temple, said TO Star reporter to-
day that his committee has already PRO-
duced sketch plans for the new temple, but
could settle on nothing definite until the
site was agreed upon.
I'VE have" said Mr.. Baird, "outgrown
the old temple, and must have a larger
building. We prefer a quleter location,
with sufficient adjacent ground TO enable
us to form our parades. Our building,
when erected, will not be ostentatious, but
will, nevertheless, be a credit to ths ma

as well as tn. Grand Chapter, the Eastern

Right to Eject People Only in Case of
Disorder.

George F. Smith was the name given by
a young man arrested late last night by
Policeman johnson on a charge OF disorder
ly conduct in saloon on 9th street. The
officer made the arrest on complaint Of the
saloonkeeper, who stated that Smith had
been disorderly. Policeman Johnson said
the young man was under the influence OF
liquor and disputed his authority TO eject
him from the saloon.
Judge Kimball informed the officer that
Smiths dispute was well founded. 1t is not
the duty OF an officer, the judge told him,
to eject people from saloons unless they
are disorderly. When peop,e become obnoX-
ious in a saloon il is the privilege of the
proprietor to eject them. Should breach
of the peace result then ii Is the duty of
the police to take a hand in the trouble.

son arrived at the French Lick with
the families of those who came with
Robertson. Donlcson's party came in
fatboats from Watauga via the Tennes-
see river to the Ohio, thence up the
Ohio to the Cumberland thence up the
Cumberland to their destination.
1t is truly said that voyage had no
parallel in modern history.

his cabin in the summer of 1869, which
marks the real beginning of Tennessee

Robertson returned and gave such a

The Early Garden Crops.

The early crops are quickly destroyed
If neglected. Onions require careful
watching, as the carly weeds may get
ahead of them in 4S hours should the
weather be warm for few days, which
doubles the work of the farmer. The
best time to destroy weeds is when they
are terminating. Whenever the hoe
runs between the rows it not only ad-
mits warmth and causes the seeds OF
weeds to germinate, but kills those that
are just starting.

Sound and Potent Reasons Why the
West Should Get II.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.
Two good reasons why the western states
should choose the speaker who is to be
elected when the present congress opens
will suggest themselves to everybody.
The west has had the speakership a COM
paratively few times only, and has not
had it at all since 1883, when General Keifer
Of Ohio retired, after serving one term. The
west furnished more republican members to
the present house than the east, and in the
election last fall it made gains in its re-
publican membership in the house, while the
east scored losses.
These two reasons, if standing alone,
would entitle the west to the speakership at
this time. But these reasons do not stand
alone. The west ie the progressive section
of the country. The republican party origin
ated in the west. Until a little after the
middle of the century the west was a strong
hold of the democratic party. When the
democracy committed It's folly Of trying to
make slavery national and freedom sec
tional the west broke away from that party
and formed a new party, bearing the repub-
lican name. Then the democracy, which
was invincible so long as it commanded the
support of the west, was thrown into a
minority, and it has been in the minority
ever since.
Everything which is enlightened and pro-
gressive in public policy manifests itself in
the west earlier than it does in any other
part Of the country and expresses itself
more vigorously. As already intimated, the
movement which defeated the democratic
conspiracy to diffuse slavery all over the
territories, block emigration westward and
check the tide OF civilization was defeated
by the revolt of the west. 1t has been
charged that the democracy's base money
fn1lu DC aynrpE=nl In panI1at,nF5 tnhtn
idee'' in 1868 and in Bryan's Accent dollar
infamy of 1896 originated in the west. But
the new and revised Ohio idea, that Of 1915,
under which Hayes carried that state for
governor on a 100-Cent dollar platform, killed
the Pendleton folly. Under the leadership
of another Ohioan Organism was eXtirpated
in 1896, The movement for expansion in
1898 had its origin in the west and from
thence swept all over the country. Every
policy which lives, or deserves to live, re-
veals itself in the western states before IL
does anywhere else. In political and social
matters the west gives the law to the coun-
try. The prOgressiveness and potency of
the west has been recognized in the ma
tional conventions of the republican party
presidency TO the west. The party which
has always taken its presidential nominee
from the west, except in the case of Blaine,
has shown a sense Of the importance OF the
west which should be supplemented more
frequently by the selection OF a speaker
from the same section than has been done
hitherto. The west ought to get the speaker
ship this year, and probably will get IL

Attempts OF ImpcrinItsts 10 ErIshteu
the Opposition.

Philadelphia Ledger tyep)
The story that a reasonable plot had
been discovered to arouse dissatisfaction
among the volunteers in the Philippines has
been promptly denied 10y the cabinet Of
ncers. but is nevertheless persistently circu.
lated. Unless It is intended as a "%teelcr"
1t is difficult to understand what the circula.
tion OF such a report is intended to accom-.
plish. There are honest differences Of
opinion as to what should be done with the
Philippines and these differences can exist
without the existence Of any reasonable
sentiment. As a matter Of fact even those
who greatly deplore the ENHANCEMENT OF the
United States in eastern affairs are never
theless disposed to support the government
In reducing the Filipinos to order. After
that has been accomplished public opinion
will take more definite form as to the policy
We should adopt in the government OF the
Philippines. The administration, however,
should not mistake concurrence in the meas
ures necessary for the establishment OF
order in Luzon for acquiescence in any
scheme of Imperialism. The people OF the
United States have not fairly considered
that question. but they will remain entirely
loyal to the government as long as 1t is be-
set by outside foes. When those foes have
been suppressed there will be no treason
in opposing the administrations plans for
governing the Philippines. That is a very
broad political. question upon which men
will differ in opinion, and differ honestly,
and both parties be actuated by PATRIOTS,
motives. II the stories Of treason are in
tended to intimidate those who differ with
the administration as to some of the acts
that helped to involve the United States
in war with the Filipinos they will fail IL
their intended effect. The administration
has not yet formulated sufficiently defnit,
plans to admit OF a division into parties or
the government program. The work that
1t is now engaged in. that of establishing
its authority in Luzon, is generally recog.
ntzed as necessary. and until that has beer
accomplished the larger question OF futur.
