ODD FELLOWS BANQUET.

On last Thursday evening, Cherokee
Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fell
lows, Of Marietta, celebrated the 81st
anniversary of the order in their lodge
room.
They had sent out about $50 invita-
tions and fully that many ladies and
gentlemen had gathered to be their
guests.
Four long tables were stretched
across the hall, and they were loaded
with the choicest viands.
The exercises were opened with the
usual ceremonies, and the reading of
the proclamation of the Grand Master,
ordering the celebration of the ami
versarY.
The order was organized in the city
OF Baltimore in 1919, and has increased
in numbers and strength until it is
power in the land for doing good and
promoting every benevolent work.
The welcome address was delivered
by Col. W. r. Power, who not only
gave a cordial welcome to the vast
throng, but set forth in glowing terms
some of the cardinal principles of this
noble institution
After the address, the guests were
invited to take their places at the tables
and one of the most elaborate feasts of
good things was enjoyed to safety.
The committee of ladies and gentle
men, who had the arrangements under
their supervision, left nothing undone
to make it bounteous banquet, and
royalty they succeeded, acquiting them
selves with credit.
| Beautiful music, vocal and instru-
mental, was rendered. Mrs. G. 2
Stephens presided at the organ and Mr..
George Manning handled the cornet.
Messrs. Fields and Freyer also gave
some delightful music on mandolins.
During the evening the much talked
of Sir William Goat was introduced to
the audience and promenaded through
the hall, giving ocular evidence that

question incident to the general is-
sue. The Porto Ricans may not
be ready for all the rights and
privileges of citizenship of the
United States, but agood fret step
in that direction would have been
to take the shackles of their indus
trieste enable them to enter the
markets with their products and
become self-supporting. Instead
of this the tariff was tinkered SO as
to put them in the position of do
pendents, and our government of
them is practically imperialistic,
and hurtful to our own system as
we'll as to our Subjects" Politi-
cal and industrial depression is a
poor way to inaugurate assimila-
ton, benevolent or otherwise.

The Republicans of the House
in setting a trap" as they admit,
to put the Democrats sin hole"
on the trust question were forced
into a particularly ugly trap them
selves. The bitters have been bit
ton badly, The Democrats of the
House in considering the antitrust
bill on Saturday proposed an
amendment authorizing the Presi-
dent to place on the free list nrti-
oles in which he is satisfied there is
combination in restraintof trade
This meant the trusts that have
their opportunities of extortion and
oppression through the prohibitory
protective duties. 1t is the remedy
that was suggested by John Sher-
man. The Republican House re-
jected this amendment by vote of
122 to 1873, few Republicans who
are much concerned about the cleo
ton this fall in their respective dis
tricts voting with the Democrats.
This was real test of the stand of
the Republican and Democratic
parties in the House on the trust
question. Gates, of Illinois, the
head of the great iron and steel
trust, plainly told committee of
Congress that high duties on the
products of the trusts, shutting out
European competition and en-
abling the trusts to sell their prod
ucts higher to American consumers
than to Europeans, were trust
necessity. The trusts knew their
interests aud continued power for
oppression were safe in the hands
of the Republican majority in Con-
gress, and hence did not find il
necessary to send their accustomed
lobby to direct congressional action.

played. Pittsburg Post.

exhorted TO confine themselves to

in many cases were forbidden to
sing in the choir. Now women are
engaged in almost every line of ac-
