corted to castle hall TO meet the
members Of the lodge and exem'
plify secret work.
The reception and banquet were
rendered in the evening at the OPP

function. Those in charge of the
arrangements had done their work
we'll and a highly entertaining
program was carried out Chan.

Mrs. Nettie Everett Groom of
Calvert and Miss Esther Boat

Mr.. Schwab might reply that his
Monte Carlo diversion is quite as harm
less and innocent as the business Of some
of the Wall Street habltues and promot-
ers of the Amalgamated Copper games,
who play for much higher stakes and
who play, moreover under the approx
ing or tolerant sanction of metropolitan
society. Such a game AS that conducted
in copper by men of the irst eminence in
our financial world has caused more ruin
and suicides within two months than
The Prince of Monaco's gambling den has
caused in year or several years, and it
has been far more demoraizing to social
sobrlety, honesty and contentment. Mr.
Schwab's own trust is something of a
game of chance in which people are in
vlted to stake a share of their possessions
Certainly this is q fair description of a
venture which brings together properties

public. No one can tell how it will work
out. AS method of acquiring unearned
wealth quickly and in large chunks for a
small group of men, the game Mt Monte

WE STAND IN.

AT the coming coronation cere.
monies of Edward the "By the
grace of God King of England,
etc, ETC., etc, the United States
will send an imposing delegation
composed of civil, military and naval
representatives., also a suitable array
OF warfhlps to burn American pow
der in saluting his majesty's formal
accession to the throne, from which
he is supposed to govern a people by
divine right. Our delegation is sup
posed to take notice that the ROYAL
diadem is properly placed on the
kingly brow and at the proper time
to join in the monarchial acclaim of
"Long Live the King" From an
American standpoint the whole bust
ness is a rank absurdity, and the
three-ring- circus atmosphere that
surrounds it and its obsolete me-
dieval spectacular nonsense a species
of anachronism that seems. to IGNORE
the present unitarian age. And
why are we, a people of directly
opposed ideas, called upon to en-
dorse by official representation form
OF government that we abhor, and
have shed blood to get rid of? We
all are aware that monarchial gov
ernments, the world over, consider
republican governments the great
menace to their system. In orr
presidential inaugurations, certainly
as important events as coronations
no special representatives have ever
displayed their decorations at the
east entrance to the capital After
all talk of "friendly relations, etc.
the TACT remains that it is only
toadylsm after all. The American
people as a people care no more for
the King of England than they do
Tor the Sultan of Tlmbuctoo And
we are to get still another (ose of
the same nasty stuff, but less of it.

The press dispatches report the
onslaught Of Pennsylvania con-
gresham on proposed arid land
legislation probably iealously
guarding the public treasure in order
to have it all there to meet his ship

spoke of the decrease in value of

southern states, " says the report

property values (Which is direct re-
suit of the midnight slaughter of
silver) is not yet remeded in spite of
the assertions OF former silver men
who have been bribed back into the
gold party. ''Let us wait, shouts
frothy Sibley, ''unlil our increased
population shall so expand that those
lands shall be needed A" That must
be a direct slam at the thorough
going 'expansionist" who wants to
find room for our surplus population
