TAKE EXCEPTION.
Course Of tho Irish World and Gaelic
American Condemned by Mon.
tana Hibernians.

The following is an extract from a
resolution adopted by the state corr
vention Of the Ancient Order Of Hi
bernians Of Montana at th,, meeting
teld at Great Falls. Aug. "a to 27
I'VE emphatically condemn the cam
paign of slander which is being carried
OH in the pages Of the lrs', World
and the Gaelic American. Such con-
duct on the part of these journals IS
calculated to ALLEVIATE the sympathy
and support Of many Of our race In
this country.
Moreover. IT supplies our enemy
with a. plausible pretext for reviving
the accusation that the Irish are unf1t
for legislative independence. AS Il.
rule such recriminations are prompted
by private and personal animosity.
hence It is we should vehemently pro-
test against the unpatriotic and un.
christian conduct Of which these pa
pers have been grossly guilty"

rottenness rankles in every avenue
OF business aud political life.
Roosevelt and lleney are two
particularly bright stars in the
political heavens, Bright because
of the work they are doing to pur-
ity the rotten spots in high places.
Their influence is being felt
throughout the country and others
are taking the work up in their
own spheres, Some in the strictly
political line, others, as Heney on
the judicial side of politics, but
there is not that keen interest aud
ELUSIVE cheering To the echo that
there was when the first steps in
the great moral movement was
begun. The novelty of the situa.
tion is wearing of and only those
who have the movement at heart
are abetting the leaders. There
are others, powerful others, who
are working to their utmost in
every avenue over which they |
have any influence against these
reforms. These agencies are ac-

their plans with consummate skill

Rebekahs Have q Good Time.

The Rebeckah lodge of ST. Johns
held most enjoyable session last
Wednesday evening.
AT first the Rebeckas were a bil
afraid they were going TO be hand
cd lemon, as at the opening hour
there were but few present besides
the officers. The regular routine
business was hurried through with,
four OF the Byerlee tribe were adj
mitted by card, three in person and
one by proxy. Then the lodge
closed in due form aud the doors
were thrown open To the visitors.
About the time the lodge closed the
pretty Rebeckahs were coming in
so fast that the little doorkeeper
had to stand with her back to the
door to keep them out during the
closing, They just kept coming in
from home and Portsmouth, Uni
versity Park, Albina, in fact, all
over Portland until there were at
least $50 persons present.
Then Mrs. Davenport organized
her court with Tom Mopahan as
Lord Chief Justice. The first vic.
tim TO come before hizzonnor was
dude. The poor unfortunate wore
toothpick shoes, billed shirt with a
fried collar and a blush on his
cheek like schoolgirl with her
first beau. Hizzonnor gave him
the limit Then the bailitis began
to warm up TO the work and the
nniortunates were trotted in as reg
ularly as in Judge Cameron court
IN Portland, with as great a variety |
OF charges. There was the dudine |
with the mans collar aud shirt
waist billed aud starched; there was
the eurly-haired victim. who was
fined extra because his hair was the
color OF sunset after storm.
A pretty schoolm am was accused
of taking wad OF gum away from
one OF her pupils during the day
aud chewing 1t at the meeting. The
bailIif choked her until she dis
sorged the wad. Then she tried
10 bribe the judge by offering to let
him chew her gum until recess. She
was innocent OF the way of politi-
clans, though, for the judge con-
iscated her gum aud fined her for
To corrupt the court.
There were number OF other
iotables which we have not space
% mention, but cannot pass up :

Sol Slocom from Slocomville, Mo. :
Being from Missouri he was showed

After the victims had been culti- I

rogram was rendered. This pro-
