Editor Intermountain Catholics:
In your issue of Jan. IL is a COM
munication signed IAN Ashland
Priest" which is copied from the Mil
waukee Catholic Citizen, and in which
the Father asserts that it is radically
wrong for a Catholic to ally himself
with any society which administers
an oath of secrecy and uses ritual.
Do not the Knights of Columbus, the
A. o. H., the Catholic order of For
esters and other societies, the doings
o. which are reported in your paper,
and which are approved by the church,
use a ritual? and are the members not
bound by an oath not to reveal their
pass word, etc? Where is the con-
sistency? Suppose that lodge of the
Maccabees (for instance) was COM
posed solely of Catholics, and each
member, following the advice of this
priest presumably speaking for -he
church, should send in his dues (by
whom ?)-how long would the organiza-
ton last? And again. where is the
consistency? Better get out and keep
out than to assume such a hypocritical
attitude. Respectfully,
CATHOLIC.

Interest in the Guggenheim Explora-

American Smelling & Refining COM
pany within the next few months by
which the permanent market price of
both lead and silver may be materially
raised. Daniel Guggenheim, president
of the Guggenheim Exploration COM

both metals. is welding influence as

the market demand for the commodity
will force the price above $3.50, which
has been maintained arbitrarily by the
trust during the past few months.

"As a general proposition it may be
