FEATURE OF ENCAMPMENT.
First Evening Of Grand Army Week to
Be Devoted to Program That Will

lures Thoroly Familiar to Men and
Women Of '61 to '65.

A real wartime patriotic mass meet
ing in the Auditorium is one Of the new
planned for the Grand Army encamp.
ment next August. The official pro-
gram for the week leaves Monday, Aug.
13, an open date. There are no day
or evening sessions, and as thousands
of visitors will be in the cityEa huge
patriotic meeting will be planned for
their benefit.
A trained chorus will sing patriotic
airs and other selections. Short ad-
dresses will be made by men prominent
in public life and national affairs A
fine set of war views from original
photographs and stirring band numbers
will be features of the program. It is
believed that a meeting of this sort will
furnish an auspicious opening for en-
campment week. It will appeal espe-
cially to veterans and their friends
generally. It. will be a real wartime
meeting and one of the greatest patn-
otic demonstrations ever held in Min
neapolis. ~ >s1S:
Style Of Program. -'ss9s
The suggestion for the patriotic mass
meeting was made to the executive
committee yesterday, and was enthusi-
astically received. Other important
was the style of the official program
that is to be issued to delegates, and
possibly placed on sale for general dis
tribution. The Minneapolis official
program will be the best ever issued by
an entertaining city. 1t will be a
work of art and valuable souvenir
of the Minneapolis encampment.} : No
advertising of any sort will be allowed
in the publication. From cover to GOV
er it will be q Minneapolis, - and it will
exploit the city's beauties and ad
vantages as well as furnish a complete
program of the affairs Of the week. The
executive committee yesterday was
most artistic. It is proposed to have
program of about sixty pages printed
on cream paper. It will be profusely
illustrated with cuts done in rich sepia
tints. The cover is to be a rich wood
brown, with the single word Mime.

The committee also has another in

IS, 1907 When the plan frs
came up for consideration some
time ago, there was some doub
about printing any inscription on tht
flags. The United States district at
torney has been appealed to for rul
| ing, and announces that the idea ma
be carried out for an occasion of thil
sort. The printing of other words OF
the flag is prohibited. 1T is believe.
that the flag scheme will be most eff
fective and that the sight Of 1905
veterans marching, each with the fla,
for which he fought, will be beautiful
and inspiring. -.

grounds severed and being well pro-
vided with broad board walks, is ,prac-

COURAGEOUS.

Gov. Beckham showed his cour-
age at midnight Tuesday, when he
issued a call for an extraordinary
session of the Kentucky Legisla-
ture. The call was made to meet
an extraordinary emergency and
had to be dealt with accordingly.
Kentucky has been famous since
the State has been in existence for
the purity of its whisky and tobacco
products. A legislative lobby labored
to destroy the effectiveness of Our
laws during the last session of the
General Assembly. Thanks to the
call for an extra session, Gov.
Beckham has saved the day. Ken
lucky must maintain its reputation
for pure goods if she wants to take
her place among the manufacturing
States. She must leave no loop
hole for the use of adulterated stuff
to malign Our manufacturers and
industries.

members of the various teams as
sembled at Haager's alleys, where the
prizes were distributed. 1t was known
several weeks before that the Ken
lucky Irish American team would win
first prize. and, as we predicted, the
Squire Adams defeated the Loven-
harts for second place. They deserve
special mention for the excellent work
they did toward the close of the sea-
son. The Lovenharts were easy win
ners of third place. while the John G.
Lewis team beat the Ferncliffs out Of
fourth position. The Robinson-N Nor
tons, West Ends and Henry L. Kohlers
brought up the rear in the order
named.
On the whole the season was very
successful and the Falls City is now
considered the strongest and most
evenly matched league in the State.
The series of games continued from
August 20 to March 10, and while at
times the rivalry was spirited it was
also good natured. Every member Of
the league were gentlemanly in his con-
duct toward his opponents and the
hest of feeling prevailed. President

FOR REVENUE ONLY

Among many types of Catholics
the New World of Chicago holds
up to deserved opprobrium the
professional Catholic" who is
out for the business end in his
church association. Hearken to
Father Judges arraignment:
There is, first of all, the profess
sional Catholic, who may be a good
husband and father, but who in
his public capacity considers his
faith as one of his commercial
assets to be invested in such a man
ner as will best contribute to his
selfish ACKNOWLEDGMENT. You meet
vii With extreme fern of -4iiaiiis
abject creature in the case of the
contractor who has his beads stick
ing out of his pocket when he Is
seeking a contract for the building
of a church, convent or school.
But the more ordinary type is found
among politicians, who are seeking
public Office. They never tire of
proclaiming their membership in
the grand old church while in the
presence of Catholics, but they are
just as eager to conceal their relig-
ious affiliations when they stand in
the presence of the enemies of the
church. Father Judge is right.
but he ought not to limit this class
of recreants to politicians and con-
tractors alone. There are others.
