The Grand Lodge Of Masons of the
District of Columbia will probably have
among the topics for it's discussion at
its September meeting the report of the
recent conference at Philadelphia. which
was called by Grand Master George
B. Orlady of the Grand Lodge of Penn
sylvania and to which all the grand
masters of Masonry in the states east
of the Mississippi river We're invited. in
the general interests of Masonry. This
conference at which Grand Master Simp-
son and the Grand Lodge of the Dis
trict We're represented by Deputy Grand
Master DR.. George B. Ober. while os-
tensibly called for the purpose of secur-
ing uniformity in certain Masonic prac-
tlces. is doubtless preliminary move
looking to the formation in the United
States of a general grand lodge or high
court of Masonry
Dr. Ober's report to the grand master
has been made orally and is now being
put IN written form for submission 10
the Grand Lodge at the proper time.
None of its contents can. of course be
made public until the Grand Lodge shall
so determine, but from outside sources
1t is learned that. among other things,
the question of jurisdiction in all its
ii.
fituallst1c matters and the subject of dual
membership, under which a Mason NAV
retain his membership with his mother
iooge and at the same time hold a sort
or honorary membership in d lodge at
the place where lie happens for the time
being to be living
An article in the last issue of the KEY
stone Tyler, by Grand Master Mikel of
Indiana, outlines in clear and positive
manner the position taken by those who
are favorable to the institution of a GEN
erai grand lodge, whose duty it shall
De to reconcile many matters in which
the many Jurisdictions in the United
states are at wide variance-matters of
form and not of principle.
The Philadelphia conference coming as
II did just previous to the opening Of
the quarterly meeting of the Grand Lodge
or pennsylvania. has excited wide inter-
est among Masons all over the country
and the Forthcoming communication of
the District Grand Lodge will be looked
forward to by District Masons with con-
siderable interest and anticipation 1t
Is said by those who profess to know that
the vast majority of the matters covered
by it permit of discussion only behind
tiled doors, and for that reason will eE-
cite keener interest among the fra
ternity.

IFrom the AtchiSon Globe.
Some men are so enthusiastic that
they spend all their time telling about
There is generally someone to see
that you are uncomfortable, and kept
SO.
It is always safe to distrust a man
who smiles when he has reason to look
displeased.
A clear conscience doesn't do a man
much good, if he has eaten something
he shouldn't.
Hope is that quality which makes
you believe your biliousness will wear
off without taking calomel and quinine.
Hypocrisy is so common that there
are few people who can not talk ugly
about a man one day, and eat at his
table the next.
When a woman returns from a par
ty, she says the refreshments were
splendid but the next day she will
begin to pick at them.
The people shouldn't expect much
of young ladies these days: Look at
what they have to do two and three
| times a day to their hair
mo woman" said late novel,
should marry man who can not help
her reach the heights" How the
women love that sort of thing!
Most of the opinions you hear are
! walls. Very few people are sincere.
When man talks, he is usually rep
resenting prejudice, or his individual
troubles. Very few people condemn a
thing because it is wrong, or praise it
because it is right.
Humanity is SO constituted that one
man is apt to be endowed with but a
single viewpoint: his own. That which
doesn't suit him, or agree with him,
or please him. is wrong, whether it is
politics, neighbors, or brand of
breakfast food But it very often hap
pens that the fault is with the dis
satisfied one; he is as likely to be to
blame as anyone else. Learn to view
things from different sides; to under
stand that others may be right .oc-
caSionally. 1t will save you a lot of
annoyance. as well as annoyance to
others.

NEWSPAPER CRITICS.

| Newspapers rightly have their critics,
and some of them are severe and a
trife misguided, but when all is said
and done, the newspapers with the
freedom of speech, with the liberty that
| is vouchsafed them by the constitution
of the nation and the constitution OF
the state, which is most zealously
guarded by the courts, are the most
powerful agents for good, and also for
evil, if they please. that there are in
in the life of these United States. That
newspaper editors and proprietors of
today are bending their energies to the
| accomplishment of all that is good
and which it is possible for them to
help in bringing about, is a fact that
is, or ought to be. apparent to every
discerning citizen. The time when the
opinions and support of newspapers
were bought and sold like almost any
other sort Of a commodity, is generally
of the past. 1t is but possible in only
rare instances now. Some newspapers
may, and undoubtedly do, have axes of
their own to grind. but a good deal of
their grinding is the result of honest
opinions to which their proprietors are
entitled. On the whole, though, the
newspapers of the Twentieth century are
standing shoulder to shoulder, as they
should, and fighting the battles of the
people for those things which every
individual, except he be of the dishon-
est stripe, recognizes to be right.
