Good fortune has lighted on Matthew G.

THEY CAN'T BE KNIGHTS
Saloon Keepers Who Have Entered
Knights Of PythIas Lodges May
Have to Leave,

A knight is not knight when he
keeps a saloon. Grand Chancellor James
Robertson Of the Minnesota knights Of
Pythias, has decided that a local saloon
keeper. recently admitted to a Pythian
lodge, did not in fact become a knight
because a law Of the order refuses mem
bership to a purveyor Of cherries and
foam. In order that the law may be
equitably enforced Chancellor Robertson
will secure a list OF all saloon keepers or
persons connected with the liquor bust
ness, who have been made knights since
1892, when the regulation In question
was adopted. He will then prefer charges
against such members and compel the
several lodges to proceed to formal trials.
