When Leader John sharp Williams
interposed the one objection to per
hitting a discussion on the floor of
the house Of his autocratic action in
trying 10 discipline two members OF
the democratic party for not acting
as he thought Ihey should. he con
fessed that he did not dare defend
his position. OF course, like any
cheap politician. he defended himself
with the assertion that he dil not
wish TO have democratic linen washed
for "the amusement of a republican
house.
Il is better. however. that democrat
&c or any other linen should be Wash
ed even i'm public than that it should
continue 10 be sOiled -ar. Williams
is keeping it very dirty.
Tt is one of the follies of the present
procedure i'm the house that the mi
nOrity "leader" is always the creature
of the Speaker He gets his place as
a beneficiary Of the Speaker. The
Speaker, who is. of course, the leader
of the majority party, puts on com
mittees those men whom the minor
lity leader asks should be placed.
Politics, as PLAYED by men without
convictions. is a game in which thor
/ is little mercy and less conscience

most people know through the iniu
ence Of the Speaker. Mr.. John ShaTl

To-day Williams is dividing tn

Tor a number o4 years great inter

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
liansbroush is Marked for Slaughter -Gronna
Said To Be Candidate.

The following articles from Fargo
and Grand Forks appeared simultane-
ously in the Minneapolis Journal. It
furnishes the latest piece of political
gossip.
Fargo, June Ex-senator Hanbrough
is between the devil and the deep, blue
sea, politically speaking. The ''old
gang" and the ''new gang" are after
his political scalp and figure that his
toga will look good on someone else.
The "old gang" believes that State
Senator Hanna, the Fargo banker,
would be a good man to succeed Hans
brough. The reorganizers, with former
Congressman Spalding and johnson at
the head, think a change in the senator
ship would be the proper plan, and
Spalding is suggested as good man to
step into Hansbrough's shoes.
The cause of the trouble is the atti-
tude of Senator Hansbrough on some
public questions, notably rate legisla-
tion. His position angered President
Hill of the Great Northern and the
head of other corporate interests in the
northwest. The mandate was issued by
Hill that Hansbrough must be relegated
to private life. The ieutenants of the
railway man have been looking over the
state. They found the reorganizers
had been busy and that any attempt at

Meeting Of Old Friends

Mr.. and Mrs. A. Nd. McCalhster and
daughter Nora, and Mrs. Angie
Williamson, all of Madison, S. D., were
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Stitzel
from Friday until Monday. They were
at Aberdeen last week attending the
grand lodge sessions Of the Masonic and
Eastern Star orders and took the oppor-
tunity to run up. Mrs. McCallister is
grand secretary of the chapter, a po-
sition she has held for sixteen years,
and Mrs. Williamson is past worthy
grand matron. Mrs. McCallister and
daughter remained over, but the others
were obliged to return home.
A very happy meeting was had at
the Stitzel home Saturday after the
train came in from Jamestown. H. F..
Eaton was with the old comrades at the
state encampment, and a surprise was
planned on his return. His wife had
coerced him to go visiting with her and
happening to drop in the aforesaid resi-
dence, he met Mrs. Williamson and in
her recognized one of his old pupils
back in the long ago, when Prof. Eaton
was running his college at Norridge-
wock, Maine. Teacher and pupil had
not met each other for twenty-five
years and there was regular jubilee
of visiting for about thirty-six hours.
It was genuine surprise on the pro-
fessor, but no one relished it any more
than he did himself.

SHRINERS ARE COMING
SOMETHING WILL BE DOING AT
 TEMPLE TONIGHT.
A Number of Candidates for the Red Fes are to Hot-FOOt 1t Over Sands of Montgomery
 Desert.

There will be something doing to- night at the Masonic Temple. The Mystic SEriners will be in charge and the sands will be good and hot.
 Some fifteen or twenty unregenerate sons of the desert will be made to travel the gaits over the hot sands to make a holiday for the nobles of Fam ora Temple and what other visiting Shriners who may happen to be in Montgomery. The number is not exact, because 1t Is not known how many of the candidates may become nervous and balk when the time comes for the swift trip over the heated sands. But the fun will be fast and furious while the unfortunates are hot-footing it around.
 And when the Shriners are through chasing the victims about, a fine ban Quet will be served for the refreshment of the weary at which the unregenerate who have been raised to the nobility will be permitted to partake.
 One hundred and fifty members of zamora Temple are expected to come down from Birmingham to take part In the festivities of the occasion. The Birmingham Shriners will get in to- night at 7:25 o'clock. Tho official i'm = vitations contains the announcement that the brethren will visit the oasis or montgomery and certainly Mont gomery must seem like an oasis to any man who Is accustomed to life as 1t Is lived in Birmin gham.
 While In Montgomery the Birming- ham Shriners will be treated warmly and cordially, and will be made to for get the hardships of life in Birmingham and lose sight of the fact that 1t Is their hard fate to have to return to the smoky city on the morrow.
 They will be met at the depot by Charles R. Westcott, the head of the Shriners and all the prominent Shrin- CTS of Montgomery. They will then be escorted to the Masonic Temple, where the trouble will begin. and where the trembling neophytes will be await ing their fate.
 It is expected that there will be a number of other visiting Shriners from Selma, Mobile and other cities.
