U. &. Guss deserves much of the
credit for what has been done in the
past toward building up Scottish Rite
Masonry in Oklahoma. Without Guss
the temple would not now be.
The curtain behind which is hid the
organ and choir was, during some of
the degrees, raised SO that the ladies
could look down on the pictures fur
nished by beautiful scenery, magnif-
cent robes, decorations and artistic
grouping.
The appurtenances of Oklahoma
bodies for rendering the degrees are
ackno wledged by all visitors to be un-
equaled by any temple in the country.
The hard working, courteous and
silent Charlie Adams was always there
when anything was to be dohe-as-
suming in several instances places
that were vacant by workers being
absent
Henry Wallenstein, 33d degree, Of
Wichita, was not only a visitor, but a
worker. helping out at many times
when help was needed. The Oklahoma
members should remember this when
they visit Wichita,
To E. L, Blincoe is due the credit
for the magnificent structure. He, of
the committee having in charge the
erection of the building. was the one
who argued for a complete building,
not temporary one.
Charles c. Kneisler 80 says that a
mixed choir was first introduced into
the Scottish Rite WORK by the late
Enoch Il. Carson, at Cincinnati, Feb
ruary 1876.
The musical features of the degrees
was admired by everyone. The selec-
tions were appropriate and blended
with the work.
Harper S. Cunningham was here.
there and every where about the temple
during the reunion. He is the father
of Scottish Rite Masonry in Oklahoma.
In the dark days, when the prospects
tory was questioned, he silently work
ed along the line be had laid out, al
ways hoping. His hopes are realized
IN the beautiful Scottish Rite temple.
The concensus of opinion expressed
by visitors was that while some de-
grees may worked better elsewhere, it
would be difficult to find bodies of the
Rite anywhere who could present the
same number of degrees given here
during the reunion as well. All ac-
wledged that no temple has as
complete robing, staging and acces-
sories as Guthrie.
Oklahoma consistory No. l owes
much to G. G. Kneisley who had
charge Of the 14th degree. Kneisly is
33 degree man and is one of the best
posted Masons in the country. He is
an authority on S. r. law and his ex,
enplifcation of degrees always calls
forth the warmest admiration. G.. II.
Willis is another hard worker in the
Rite. His tasks last week called for
untlagging industry and he was not
lacking in any of the essentials neces-
sary to the fruition of creditable work.

SILLY SUBTERF FUG II.

II is evident to the slowest intelli-
Rence thai the Republican pretense
of antitrust legislation is simply a
transparent trick to catch votes
That this trick will fail Of it's purpose
cannot be doubted, for the facts in
evidence are too plain to be ignored.
Attorney General Griggs refuses to en-
force the laws against the trusts
which are now on the statute books.
Then, what use is there of passing
more laws for Griggs to disregard?
AS a matter of fact, the Republicans
in congress do not propose to pass
any antitrust laws. The amendment
to the constitution is, as it has been
characterized by able thinkers, mere
ly a''silly subterfuge." 1t is plan
to gain time and TO obscure the trust
issue, which is to be discussed before
the people during the presidential
campaign,
Discussing this matter. James Creel-
man, a correspondent who has toured
the country recently, says:
sis there a full-grown man in the
country who will be deceived by the
loud trumpeted laws of the United
States declare that an action of the
Republicans in congress who propose
an antitrust amendmendment to the
constitution of the United States? l
think not. In every state l have Wis
tied this year the voters seemed to
clearly understand that the trusts are
united in their support Of Mr. McKin-
ley and equally united in their oppo-
sition to Mr.. Bryan
"Who are the men who stand at the
head of this monstrous trust system?
John D. Rockefeller, the head of the
Standard Oil Trust, an answering
Mckinley Republican; Henry o. Have
meyer, the head of the sugar trust, an
answering Mckinley Republicans;
j. Pierpont Morgan the head of the
coal trust, an answering Mckinley
Republican,; Andrew Carnegie, the
head of one steel trust, who raised SO,
10000 of the Mckinley campaign
fund practically the whole list of
trust organizers and presidents might
be printed and after each name the
words, an answering Mckinley
Republican
These men absolutely and openly
control the president and his party in
and out of congress. Can there be
doubt about that? These are the men
who mock the country with a propos-
ed antitrust amendment to the con-
stitution. They sit in their clubs
night after night openly defending
and advocating the trust system. Yet
the attempt to monopolize trade is a
crime punishable by fine Of $1,000 or
years imprisonment. A Republican
trust president can publicly incite to
crime, can day after day engage in
crime without attempt at concealment
and still be a welcome guest in the
White House. an honored advisor Of
the president Of the United States, a
widely advertised supporter Of the Re-
publican party Think Of IT, And
then ask yourself what would happen
TO poor man who publicly advocated
the commission of crime"
RIti apparent that the Republicans
fear the trust issue, but they cannot
advocate any legislation against the
trusts because the party depends for
its Support on the trusts However
they do not hesitate to present silly
su6terfuge" to the people, and Aave
thesublime effroDtery to claim tbat
this is anti-truet lsgislation.

upon, and to facilitate the considdfa-
ton of other important matters before
the committee, all bills having for their
object the general cession of the pub

the same upon the table," The resolu-
tiou was adopted and in consequence
No legislation of the character named
in the resolution may be expected from
this Congress. The adoption Of the res
olution was preceded by an argument
by Representative Stevens Of Texas.
In favor Of his bill, which is a general
land leasing proposition. Mr. Stevens
said that land leasing for grazing pur-
poses had proved a success In Texns.
When first proposed many protests
were made by stockmen, but the wis
dom Of the system is now generally
conceded. Under leasing there are few
er large herds in the state, but more
stock. There are more permanent set
tiers and more improvements are be-
ing placed on the land than under the
free open range system. The discussion
