Independence Day was observed
BY many legion posts throughout the
State. Patriotic exercises were car
ricd out, with the legion taking the
lead in the majority Of cases. II is
fitting that tho American Legion, one
OF tho greatest patriotic 0rganiza
tions in the United States, should
take the lead in properly observing
the Fourth OF July. Patriotism and
the Fourth Of July go hand In hand
and the legion is founded on patriot
i@m. One Of the things the legion can
do Is to teach proper respect to the
flag and to tho Star Spanglcd Ban
ner."

called upon TO take an active part in
civic affairs.
The st. Matthews post observed

for tho legion.
The One-day membership drive

LONG TIME WEATHER
FORECASTS ARE BUNK
u. S. STATION SAYS

Fargo, n. D.. July 1o.-Many peo-
pie of the country still believe in long
weather forcasting despite the
fact hat it has 40 scientific basis
whatever. according to r. E. Spencer.
in charge Of the Moorhcad. Mimi. Z.
S. Station. In spite Of the fact that
the best meteorologists of the weather
bureau have worked and are still
working on some way to predict
weather for weeks or months ahead.
local bureau men do not predict
more than thirty-Ax hours ahead. A
weekly forecast from Washington sent
out in The Associated Press service
each Saturday, makes a general pre-
diction for certain te%rritoriese.
There are other authorities. how
yer. who are not unwilling to
prophesy what the weather is going
TO be a year or six months hence n
to these some of the people continue
to go for such information. according
to Mr.. Spencer. These "authorities'
get by by using a nice assortment OF
meteorological expressions in which
to clothe glittering genera1ites which
mean absolutely nothing. he adds.

Associate Justice Albert NJ. Spear,
Grand Master of the Grand Masonic
Lodge of Maine, made public Friday
the following dispatch which he had
sent to the New York World in answer
to telegram from them:
Il am relentlessly opposed to an
form of connection of ku Klukism
with Masonry, as l understand it. |
deprecate 1t in any form as a menace
to law and order"
Justice Spear said in reference to
this telegram, Masonry does not I'M
dertake to regulate or interfere with
any outside matter. Its long life and
great usefulness are due to the fact
that 1t has never allowed any deliber-
alton or discussion in its lodge room,
regarding any subject not concerning
Masonry, upon which might be devel-
oped a controversy.
Every lodge however is responsible
for the conduct OF its members and
has the right and is charged with the
duty of taking note of Masonic
conduct beyond the walls of the lodge
as we'll as within them. Masonic ira
dtions, Masonic law and Masonic pre-
cepts are subordinate to municipal
law. The Masonic law requires us to
obey the moral law; the laws of our

Were Almost Robbed

NJ. C. Duffey OF Boston, registered
at the New Chase, had d thrilling
experience yesterday for short
time. He was travelling to Portland
from Augusta in an automobile with
another travelling man whom he met
at the hotel in Augusta. When out
side of Gardiner two men came
from the bushes at the roadway and
one of the men. pointing revolver
at the driver. ordered him to stop.
The men inquired Of the driver
where he was going and what his
name was. The driver responded
with an answer in no uncertain
terms that it was none of their aft
fair. At the same time the driver
hauled a revolver from in back of
his cushion and boldly ordered the
men to beat it," which they did
without remonstrance. 1t is be-
lieved that robbery was their motive,
but the sudden appearance of the
gun startled them. Both occupants
OF the car were much excited and
Mr.. Duffey declares that there was
no time lost in starting the car after
its temporary halt.-Portland EX-

country; the Constitution, regulations
and established customs of the Fra
ternity, hence by violation of any of
these is a Masonic offense. Therefore
when a Mason violates the Municipal
law, which is the law of the land, he
violates the Masonic law and is
amendable to discipline for so doing.
while then we have no concern
with the Ku Klux Khan or any other
organization as such. we may have a
vital concern regarding the conduct Of
Masons in joining that or any other
society whose principles may be re-
garded as a menace to law and order.
For the above reasons I announced my
attitude on the subject in my dispa tch
to the New York World"
The telegram from the New York
World to Judge Spear reads as fol-
lows: I'm the past three days the
World has published denunciations by
Grand Masters of New York, Connec-
ticut and Massachusetts Of false rep
reservations by Ku Klux Khan that
it enjoys Masonic sympathy and sup
port. Klan promoters now openly
link its name with Masonry. May we
