The members of Hi ram lodge and visiting Masons gather ed in then lower room of the church, and led by the marshall and tyler, marched into the church to front seats. In opening his discourse, Rev MT George briefly welcomed the brethren This gathering, said the speaker, is in honor of the birthday of St John the Baptist, the greatest man born of wom- an. as the Saviour said. St John, the Baptist. stands out strong in the his tory of the Christian religion. He ris- es like mountain out of the plain- Born for special purpose, the most of his life was spent with God. In his preaching he held up stern and pure morality. While the great character istic of John was the preaching of nor ality, in his heart was loving friend ship. We all need to be held up by one another. Friendship binds people to- gether. 1t ought to make them strong CT and better. Friendship is not mere ly human but it comes from God him self. Friendship implies willingness to sacrifice for one another, and a recognition of the better and superior powers in others. Masonry is an insti- tuition which binds men together on a basis of truth

The High Price OF Lie.

There is little reason to doubt, that
by following any one of a dozen re-
cipes for long life, one could keep him
self on earth hundred or hundred ard
fifty years. But in each recipe there
is this flaw, that it would worry the life
out of man to observe and obey it.
One would have to go about, Their
mometer and food scales in hand,
wholly centered upon himself, and
with no time or inclination for the do
nestle duties or those of friendship.
AS for fun, there would not be any.
There is not anything, not even life,
for which one would pay more than it's
worth. The scientifically correct re-
gimen would mean not century nor a
century and half of life, but dreary
waste of years, long years Of death in
life.-Our Country for May.

The Fate CT The Shriners.

The terrible accident at Honda, CAL,
by which 80 Shriners lost their lives
and as many more were injured, was
the elimination of series of disasters
that attended these ecxursionists along
their route. On May l, the second sec
ton of Sante Fe train filled with
Shriners, was ditched near Ration, N.
M, and 20 were more or less injured.
On May 3, the Overland Limited on
the same road was wrecked at Symons,

among the wounded. On May 6, train

at NordbOurne, Mo-, and on the same

was ditched at Midway Col, these two
accidents causing injuries to so more.

Get Their Just Reward.

The recent decision in the Court of
Appeals in the Louisville election
cases, whereby every Democratic Off
cial IN Louisville and Jefferson county
were promptly thrown out of Office,
should forever close the mouths Of Re-
publicans about partisan Court OF
Appeals. The decision rendered was
as much a blow to Republicans as the
Democratic office-holders in Louisville,
for the former could not see how such
a partisan court" could hand down
such decision. The opinion was writ
ten by the partisan Judge Lassing too,
think of it. That is even hard for a
Democrat to believe, but it is the
truth nevertheless. 1t shows that we
have just judges that compose the
bench of our highest court.
This decision is just and righteous,
for the rottenness in Louisville politics
has long been a blot upon Kentucky
Democracy, and it will be of uncalcu-
liable value not only to Louisville but to
the Democratic party in Kentucky.
While the News is Democratic
through and through, at the same time
it holds that Democratic thief is no
better than Republican thief and just
as soon as some of this thieving bust
ness is cut out of the Democratic party
in Kentucky,just so soon will the party
come to the front again with the old
time 40, 900 to $4,000 majority.
Let every mans vote be counted as
cast has always been our contention,
and when thugs and bribery win such
elections as the Louisville one, we say
put such winners out. We do not like
anything that smacks of Republican
ism, and for this reason we have at all
times been against machine politics,
and if not stopped in some way, will
eventually turn Kentucky over to
the Republicans.
We repeat, the decision was just and
right, and add that the Louisville gang
have only received what was justly
coming to them.
