REDUCE DUES OF ELKS
DISCRIMINATION IS FAVORED
Weed Munro Returns From a Meet
ing of the Laws Committee
in Chicago.

Weed Munro returned this morning from
Chicago, where he attended a meeting Of
the laws committee of Elks. This COM
mittee is the appellate court of the or
der, and its annual recommendations to
the grand lodge are generally accepted.
One of the important questions was
whether the grand lodge would distin-
guish between annual and club dues. Vari-
Gus lodges held that there should be dis
elimination between resident and non
resident members of a lodge. 1t was felt
that the nonresident was entitled to a
reduction in dues. Mr.. Munro says the
committee will probably turn in a favor
able report.
This year an officers train will be run
from Chicago to Salt Lake City, where
the annual convention will be held the
week of Aug. IL. This train will have
accommodations for the officers, commit
tees, district deputies and their ladies'. 1t
will leave Chicago at such time as to
permit it's arrival in Salt Lake Saturday
morning, Aug. 9, three days before the
opening Of the convention, in order TIC
dispose Of detail work in advance.

sacrifice their lives before they would
permit a simple little change Of the map
Of Enthusiastically when that change
involved no material loss to them.
1t would not be just to Mr.. Rhodes,
however, to ignore the fact that in in
triguinS against the Dutch republics Of
South Africa he was seeking to promote
not merely his own private interests, but!
the interests Of the British empire. He,
had all the wealth man could desire to
possess. He cared for money not for its
| own sake, but for what it enabled him to
do in carrying out his notions as an en-
pire builder. He was ambitious. His
| chief aspiration was to identity his name
with the glory and greatness OF the Brit
ish empire. He wanted to change the
map of Africa-an England dominant from
Cairo to the Cape of Good Hope. 1t was
with this object in view that he projected
the Capt to Cairo railroad and telegraph
system and induced English financiers toI
| subscribe the money to carry out his
plans. It was colossal conception-one
! worthy CT his powerful mind. He wanted
| his name to go down in history with that
! of Olive, who gave England her Indian
| empire. In order that he might realize
| his ambition he threw moral scruples to the
winds. He plotted year after year against
| the Boer republics, and shares with Mr..
| Chamberlain and other British statesmen
| the responsibility for the war which has
| brought ruin upon the Dutch republics
and sorrow into many an English home.
| That is the sort Of empire builder Cecil
| Rhodes was-a great men, an exceptional
man, one who seems to have been really
devoted to his country, but unable TO un-
| derstand that little states have rights
which big states are morally bound to re-
! spect; that the Boer republics were as
much entitled to independence and self
government as England, and that their
enforced absorption into the British en-
pire is a crime against humanity.

OF WIDE INTEREST
The First Baptist Elk Parte Council
Meets Next Week.
EMINENT CHURCHMEN TO SIT IN
The Body Can Do No More Than
Advise in the Riley
Case

The ex-parte council of dozen clergy
men and laymen of the Baptist church
called by the dissenting members of the
First. Baptist church of this city for
counsel. and advice will meet next Tues
day morning. Nearly every Baptist
church in the city has offered meeting
place, but it is probable that the offer of
Westminster church will be accepted.
The morning will be taken up with or
ganization and the afternoon with the
presentation Of the case by the dissenting
members. The second day will be given
to the witnesses. Although the meeting
lis called for three days, probably no
more than two will be consumed. The
council will probably appoint committee
to write the decision. ~
An article has been going the rounds OF
the eastern press saying that this is to
be heresy trial. This, Of course, is not
true, as an ex-parte council would have nc
right to consider such a question, accord
Ing to Baptist practices. f.r.-
+ The main charge against the pastor
Rev. w. B. Riley, is that he has divided
the church and refuses to resign SO long
as he has a majority, no matter how
small. Charges against his veracity will
also be made. .--
The council will be composed of prom
t inent laynlen and clergy, several coming
from the east. Whether the sessions viii
be executive lies wholly with that body

CITY NEWS
men WITH GALWAYS
The Irish Comedians Caricature
Resented by Loyal Hibernians.
THE AGITATION is NATIONAL
On the Other Hand, Real Irish De-
lineations Will BE En-
'cournSed. .....

Members of the Minneapolis lodges OF
the Ancient Order of Hibernians have de-
termined to do everything in their power
to Danish the stage Irishman. The move
ment originated with Senator James r.
Bree Of Connecticut, national secretary,
and is now under way all over the coun-
try. There will be, In effect, national
boycott against all plays that caricature
the Irish race. An Irishman Will not
patronize a play that he thinks is, calcu-
lated to beiittle his race. On the other
hand, every effort will be made to en-
courage managers who produce plays oe-
picting the true Irish character. Roger
Vail, editor of the Irish Standard said
The stage irishman had his origin in Eng
land, and the plays in which he appears have
generally been written, II not by English
men, at least by enemies to the irish race.
The Irshman is not BLACKBOARD. He is not
q drunkard nor brawier, and we object
to having him so depicted upon the stage.
The Irishman of to-day does not go around
with a bottle sticking out OF his pocket and
with a shilelah in his hand looking for a
fight Neither do the Irish women smoke
pipes. Despite the makeup used by al
legged actors who think they are imperson
atlng Irish character, the Irishman has not
the face of a monkey All, these things tend
to belittle the race, and we shall do our
best to put a stop to them. There is a move
ment on foot just now for the elevation OF
the Irish stage. They are playing pieces IN
the Irish language in Dublin, and showing
the Irish chaAacter as it really is, not as
1t has been presented here through the lens
Of hatred and uncharitableness.
Even our own people have presented plays
here that have shown the Irish character
up in an unenviable light Many of us re-
ellie that and have protested against it in
the past: have for one. and this year we
held joint st. Patrick's day celebration
in order to avoid that very thing.
American-made plays are almost as BAG
as English. Look at "McFaddens Row OF
Flats" That is the kind of thing we want
to avoid. OF course it came from series
of newspaper sketches and we shall do al
we can to keep the race from being maligned
In the comic papers and comic supplements
as we'll as upon the stage.
When a play of that sort comes to- towr
the Irish Standard will warn all Irishmen tt
leave it severely alone; but when Chauncey
Olcott or Andrew Mack any actor who
presents a decent type of the Irish come!
to Minneapolis we shall do our best to SEE
that he gets a warm welcome.

. LEGAL MINDED BARBER
He Learned Law From the Judge
49,. Then Handed 1t Around
Ra1ti,rnorp Sun

It has been the daily custom of an eminent
jurist of Baltimore to visit every day the
same establishment for his morning shave.
The barber who habitually shaved him mani
tested desire to elevate himself and decided
to read law in his idle moments. In order
to encourage him the judge loaned him law
books and daily inquired into his progress.
Before many weeks the barber began pro-
pounding legal questions for solution by his
patron and mentor ~ .-..s
"Now. judge he would say, suppose such
and such a question arose. what would you
do in that case?'' And with much care and
deltberation the judge would enter into the
pros and cons of the case and set forth his
reasons and decision
Several months elapsed before friend of
the Judge appraised him that the opinions he
had been handing dcwn to the barber were
in reality upon parallel cases brought to the
barber by his friends, who set great store by
his sound Judgment and aeulnen. and who
gladly paid a small fee in return.
At first the equilibrium Of the astute jurist
was sore1y disturbed. When he visited the
shop the next morning the conversation
opened up in much the same manner.
Judge" said the barber, I've been think
ing of most Interesting case He then
asked, Now what would you adviser
/ After long pause the judge replied:
s'What would I advise? Well. let me see
Why, I'd advise that you come to my office
and bring arcertified check for 500 and viii

Treble Damages for Trespass on the
Itasca Park.
BIG FIRM HANDS OVER $3.50
Foreman Who Was Responsible for
the Theft Has Been Dis
charged.

A prominent firm Of lumbermen paid
INTO the state treasury this morning
$950.4 This was at the rate Of $11 a
thousand for timber cut from Itasca state
park by one of the companys crews. 1t
was done without the knowledge of the
company, and the foreman who directed
the work has been discharged. For that
reason the companys name is withheld.
Attorney General Douglas lis custodian
or the park, and takes great interest in
1t. The parkkeeper discovered the tres
pass, which occurred while the crew Was
logging on adjoining land. He reported
1t to Mr.. Douglas, who took the matter up
with the company. They investigated,
and admitted the trespass.' 't@'.r
The law allows triple damages for tres
pass. There was use for the timber
where it lay, as the state will build
"a lodge for the parkkeeper near by. So
the state kept the timber and charged
double the value of the pine. The amount
was paid this morning without protest.
The state recently purchased 1886 acres
of standing timber from the Pillsbury es-
tate, lying on this shore Of Lake Itasca
and in the heart of the1park. The consid-
Grafton was $3.50 thousand for the
stumpage, and it came to over $17,50O.
Attorney General Douglas returned to
work this morning from short vacation.

AN AMBITIOUS MAN
Cecil Rhodes and His Plans for Brit

1t was said of Cecil Rhodes that he
Thought in continents Howard G.
Hillegas, in his book, loom Paul's Peo-
this phase of Mr.. Rhodes character.
Eighteen years ago, he says, the man
popularity known as the COLOSSUS of
South Africa stood in Kimberley shop
and looked intently at a map Of Africa.
After while he placed his right hand
over the map, covering a large part of
South and Central Africa from the At
lantic to the Indian ocean, and said: "All
that British. That is my dream. Give
me twenty years and We'll have new
map" ~ ----.-- - e.. -..F :
Mr.. Rhodes has not lived to realize his
ambition. Although the might of the
greatest empire, in the world has been
concentrated in supreme effort to
change the map of Africa, the end is not
yet. After two years and half of war
John Bull has succeeded in painting the
territory which Rhodes coveted with
blood of his best and bravest soldiers,
but he has not changed the map. Cecil
Rhodes thought it would be ridiculously
easy to make the Beer republics ''all
British" to build an African empire on
the ruins of two little countries which
had enjoyed free institutions. Rhodes
was a great man in many respects-a far
seeing man, a man OF action. But with
all his big ideas and his knowledge of
men he had his limitations. He under
estimated the strength and determination
of people imbued with patriotism, low
ing liberty and fighting for independence
for their homes and iresides. Rhodes
was a cynic.. He believed in the old
sordid principle that every man has his
price. He was honestly convinced that
| the Beers had their price, that after MAX
| ing show of defending their indepen-
| dence they would cheerfully submit to in
corporation into the British empire. He
lived long enough after the war began to
be bitterly disillusioned Even in this
materialistic age he found that men are
willing to die for the noblest sentiment
which stirs the heart Of mankind-fo1
freedom, for the right Of self-govern-
ment. That undoubtedly astonished Mr.
Rhodes. He seems never to have i'm
agined that In this age of luxury OF self
seeking Of cynical disbelief in patriot
