MASONIC GRAND lodge
HOLDING Session.
One Hundred and Seventh Annual
Gathering in Progress
in Louisville.

louisville, KY, Oct. 1.-THE one
hundred and seventh annual session
of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky Ma
sons opened under unusually auspi-
cious circumstances at 8 o'clock this
morning in the Maosnic Temple, on
Chestnut street, between Third and
Fourth.
When Grand Master Samuel K.
Veach raped for order and ordered
the lodge 10 be purged of all but Mas
ter Masons, fully ninety-five Master
Masons were in the hall. Each dele
gate to the Grand Lodge is a master
of subordinate lodge and nearly ev-
cry Masonic lodge in the State of
Kentucky is represented.
The opening ceremonies were con-
Quoted according 10 the usual impress
sive ritual. At the side of Grand Mas
ter Veach sat Deputy Grand Master
Henry Barrett, who will be installed
as Giand Master at the end of this
years session. The Senior and Junior
Wardens were also at their posts.
After the formal opening of the
lodge and invocation by the Grand
Chaplain, Grand Master Samuel X.
Veach read The annual report of the
Grand Master, which covers and gives
the his, DRY of Kentucky Masonry since
October, 1906.
One of the most important decis-
ions by the Grand Master was a con-
$; ruction of resolution, passed al
the last session of the Grand Lodge,
barring all men engaged in the liquor
business from admittance to Masonic
lodges in Kentucky. Grand Master
Veach said upon this point:
Has a Kentucky lodge right to
receive into membership a bookkeep-
er for a distilling company?
Held: There is some question as
TO the ground covered by the reso-
luton passed by the last Grand Lodge
as to who is engaged in the nlanufac-
ture or sale of liquor, and while a
strict construction might exclude him,
conclude that the resolution was in
tended by the Grand Lodge to exclude
such people as are statesmen, and such
people as participate in the profits of
the manufacture or sale of such Ii
auors, either as stockholder or owner.
Now, If this young man does not par
ticipate in the profits of the company
as an owner or stakeholder, and is
simply a bookkeeper, then,in my opin-
ion, he is eligible.

my being the lawyer In 1t is material;
if not, Mr.. Chinn and Congressman
Stanley, in jumping at it so eagerly
show that they are hard up for some
thing to say.
"First--Was it an unjust case, or a
case against the public interest OF
the people of Kentucky
sued the railroad and Emmitt Field
Circuit Judge decided that the claim
was just and ordered the jury to
find a verdict for the plaintiff, and
they did The railroad appealed TO the
Court of Appeals, and the Court OF
Appeals of Kentucky decided that II
was just claim and affirmed the
judgment.
Mr.. Chinn, the Clerk of the Court
of Appeals, does not claim that it was
not just claim, but ii he did the de-
cision of the court settles the matter
even for the courts clerk.
Therefore it is settled that IL is a
just claim, and even Clerk Chinn and
Congressman Stanley must agree that
IL does not show lawyer TO be in
competent or unjust 10, recover just
claim in the courts against anybody.
But suppose tie courts had decid-
ed that IL was not valid when ]
thought it was, does any man who
glories in our law that protects the
just rights of all and requires due pro-
cess of law, believe that the pople
wish all lawyers to be towards and
and boycott every party sued in court
and deprive any party of a fair trial
in any case or any court?
1T is the glory Of the bar that it
will refuse no man fair trial-for
the rich or poor, strong or weak,white
or black, popular or unpopular they
do their duly, regardless of fear or
favor.
Does Chinn or Stanley or any man
in all Kentucky believe that my en-
ployment by the tobacco company in
a little case would have a particle of
Influence on me as Governor against
the right of the people of Kentucky ?
SANKEY'S argument implies that he
thinks it would with him, but that is
SANKEY'S matter, not mine,if he gives
this indication that he would not be
fit for Governor because he was of
such caliber that he could not take a
Just case for a trust without being
biased by a little fee or any fee
against the whole people of Kentucky.
but even Stanley is not as small
as that but he is worse than small,
for he makes an argument to the feel
ing of voters against the trust when
Stanley knows that the argument is
false and mean, and l leave him in
his own wallow."
That he had in no way committed
or obligated himself to any corpora
lion, railroad or anything else in adj
vance of election, Mr.. Wilson made
plain. He said that he had in no way
mortgaged the rights Of the people.
On the contrary, he charged the cam
didates of the State ring with travel
ing over the State on railroad pass
es. He said that his charge was bas-
ed on information given him by the
conductors on every road on which
he had travelled since the opening OF
his campaign.

Ira Dexter Gets Three Years.

Ira Dexter, the Algona land con-
tract and swindler, was found
guilty iu the federal court at Fort
Dodge last week and sentenced to
three years in the penitentiary. A
special from that place says.
Judge Reed in federal court to-
day sentenced Ira Dexter to three
years in the Leavenworth peniten-
tiary and to pay $500 for the fraud
ulent use of the mails in connection
with the operation of mythical ma
tional land company of Algona. 1t
has been felt all along that Dexter
is merely the dupe of smooth scoun-
drels who remain hidden in the
back ground and allow him to bear
the penalty. Several attorneys felt
confident when he arose to speak it
would be to make expose of confed-
crates. 4 want to thank the court

Dexter has associates in his crime is

Right Handed and Left Legged.

Most people would think that as man
Is, with very few exceptions, right
handed" he would be at the same time
right legged" But this is not the
case. Almost every right handed man
uses his left leg more than his right.
For Instance, most people find 1t much
more natural to so around circles to
the right than to the left. That Is be-
cause they start with the left leg. Be-
ing stronger 1t ia more readily brought
into action, and It Is on this account
that bodies of soldicry always start to
march with the left foot. Almost all
courses for foot races are made out for
running to the right, and dancers will
indorse the statement that the majority
of movements are fur more easily eX-
ecuted In that direction. The left foot
is the one TINT is placed in the stirrup
for mounting horse. and in jumping
1t is; from the left foot that the athlete
takes Off" Thus 1t will be seen, us Al
general rule, right handed" people arc
''left legged"

Scott County at the Front.

The state auditor of Iowa admits
he is forced to do SO by the figures
in his possession-that Scott county
is much the richest in Iowa. That
it is the best to live in there can be
no doubt. Des Moines does great
deal of boasting for itself and for
Polk county Of which it is the
county seat and greater part. But
the figures at the capitol show that
Scott has personal property other
than livestock, valued at $l9,TO,-
252. The figured for Polk are more
than $5,O00,000 below this or, SD
453,276. Linn in which county is
Cedar Rapids; Woodbury. with its
Sioux City; Des Moines with its
Burlington; and Pottawattamie
with its Council Bluffs, each of them
has less than half the property of
Scott. Polk county is entitled to
the credit of having more merchan-
disc in the stock than any other
county.
When it comes to moneys and
credits Scott county goes to the
front again and this by about 3d.
100000. Polk is not second, but
Linn is, with Cedar third. Scott
has the most property, the most
money, and also the most corpora
ton stock. Scott has nearly three
times as much of this as Polk. This
prominence may be accounted for
in part by the honesty of our citi-
zens in turning over to the assessor
a true account Of what they own;
but let it be supposed that honesty
runs about the same.-Davenport

A Nice L,aaI Distinction.

A lawyer in the Indian Territory
named McGann was the attorney for
farmer who had killed neighbour.
McGann got the man out on bail on the
plea Of justifiable homicide or some
thing of the kind, and the farmer I'M
mediately took his gun and killed the
chief witness against him.
Naturally this nettled the sheriff and
the judges, and they offered $500 re-
ward for the murderous farmer. Say"
said Mccain to the sheriff, will you
give me that reward if get him"
EYES," the sheriff replied, and McGann
rode out to the hiding place of his
client.
The farmer came up, and McGann
shot him, took the body back to town
and demanded the reward. How
about this, McGann?' asked another
lawyer. do you think it is in accord
ance with the ethics Of the legal pro-
fession to take advantage of your eli
ent In that manner?" Ethics be blow

Dairy Cows Must be Tested.

A conference appointed by the
commissioners of the District Of Co
lumbia to investigate the milk sup
ply Of the city of Washington and
to recommend regulations and leg
islation, has made its report after
several months investigation of the
subject. The committee was COM
posed of several eminent govern
meat scientists, local physicians,
milk producers and dealers, and
others.
The conference recommends that
there be recognized by law three
grades of milk, to be known as GER
tilted, inspected and pasteuized. The
certified and inspected classes are
to include milk from healthy (tuber-
culin tested) herds, drawn and
handled in clearly and sanitary
manner, and kept cool. All other
milk is considered dangerous and
must be pasteurized. It has been
found that about 25 per cent of the
cows supplying milk to the city Of
Washington are tuberculous, and il
is probable that this condition is nc
worse than exists at many Other
cities. A rigid inspection of dairy
herds and farms, milk depots, etc
is to be provided for, and a central
laboratory and pasteurizing plan,
are proposed. The conference also
recommends that simple literature
on milk be distributed to the pnblie
and that instruction on the proper
handling of milk be given III thu
schools. Bad milk is charged witt
causing high mortality among
babies during the hot season. In
vestigations of the Department o
Agriculture have shown that there
is no excuse for having milk SOU
within short time. Milk draw
from healthy cows and kept clear
and cold will keep sweet for day.
and even weeks. Early souring, i
the milk is kept cold, is an evidenc,
OF contamination. and visible sed
iment indicates lack of cleanliness
