kept his audience interested.

Elevating the Secretaries.

The private secretaries of con-
gressmen won signal victory in
the house of representatives as
a result of ex-SpealScr Cannon s
fight to raise their pay from
81 800 to $4,000 year. In some
instances these secretaries are
counted more able than their
chiefs, and the latter receive ST.

perquisites. The secretaries have

plan to evade general legislation
and to care for special enact
ments through attaching legisla-
tive provisions to some of
the big appropriation bills. He
sald that such course was coward
ly masmuch as it permitted the
majority to duck the responsible
lty OF placing it's members on re-
cord ON items of legislation, and
he cited the fact that President
Hays, during his tenure of office,
vetoed appropriation bills because
OF the fact that they contained
legislative provisions similar to-
the measures that are now being
passed by the house, and he ad-
deu that he believed President
Taft would be justified in doing
what President Hays did SO many
times, veto the appropriation
bills, land let the country decide
whether you should deprive the
government of existence through
cowardly refusing to go ON re-
cord on legislative propositions. /"
Representative Cooper of Wiscon-
sin another of the old republican
members, condemned the course
of the democratic majority and
stated that every member of the
house felt a desire to support the
general appropriation bills. Re-
present bill. he said: "But
ferring more particularly to- the
present bill in answer he said:
"But when there is coupled with
such a bill other legislation to
which he is opposed on principle,
an honest legislator is put in this
dilemma: He must either vote
for the entire bill, including the OBJ
jectionable legislative riders, or
else vote against the bill, and so
against appropriations necessary
to sustain the government. This
is species Of legislation by coer-
cion."
Our Possessions
A determined effort is being
made at the present session Of
congress to secure legislature
for Alaska. Since that country be-
came a part Of our possessions it
has been getting along without
any form Of home rule, and it's
laws have consisted mostly of
crumbs dropped from the congress
sional pie counter. Mr.. Daven-
port of Oklahoma, in a speech re-
Gently made a plea in behalf Of
Alaska for the purpose of also
securing better laws for our col
onies. The question Of civil gov
ernment in the Philippine Islands
has been discussed by some mem
ber, including Mr.. Morse Of Wis
consin, who succeeded in throwing
some light upon the conditions in
the Islands. The Philippine sit
uation, however, appears to-. be
more clearly in the minds of con-
gresham than that Of Alaska, be-
cause at one time the Philippines
were a fashionable junket, but
that was, however, before Uncle
Sans warships started in carry
ing big congressional parties to
the Panama Canal.

preparation for seating the delegates

for Roosevelt would hold out until the

was concerned regardless of whether

MAGIC CITY PEOPLE PREPARING
TO ENTERTAIN HIGHEST BODY
OF LODGE OF CRAFT.

Arrangements are being made by a
number of members of the grand lodge
Of Masonry to attend the grand lodge
meeting which will take place in Mi.
not June IS and 10 and there will be
some interesting business to attend to.
The grand lodge is the governing
body Of the craft and its action so far
as North Dakota is concerned is final
In the last bulletin sent out by
Grand Secretary Stockwell he urges on
the importance of attending this ses.
sion and states that the grand lodge
is growing all the time.
The meeting will be presided over
by the grand master, Robert Morrison
Of Pembina, and it is expected that all
of the other grand lodge officers will be
in attendance. In speaking of the
delegate the grand secretary sends out
the following:
't1n figuring up the mileage to Minot
this year, it is found that the expense
is several hundred dollars larger than
previous years, hence it is suggested
that delegates to the grand lodge en-
deavor to reach Minot by the shortest
route and thus save the grand lodge as
much expense as possible. There are
sveral instances where, without serious
inconvenience, saving Of nearly 100
miles is possible. Those in the central
part Of the state should endeavor to
reach the main line of the 500 railway
which runs direct to Minot. Those west
of the Missouri river can save consid.
cradle by going from Bismarck via 500
line. We hope the delegates will keep
these points in mind.
