Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, Is an
other democrat who has the true
nteasuro of democratic Matesmau
hlp. In a speech In the senate a
fow days ago, opposing the river and
liarbor bill, ho remarked that "the
situation of our federal treasury is
unsatisfactory. Tho tronsury Is de
pleted. It is a grim condition that
stares us. In the face. - - - Of
course I know the great honor and
tho glory which It brings to a mem
ber of congress to return to his con
stituency and to point to somo lavish
appropriation obtained for somo
8jrlng branch In his district. He
may point to It as a monument, but
I fonr It may servo as a dlffereul
sort of a monument, and may boar a
real epitaph, not only of senators
and representatives, but of democracy
Hsclf, It we persist In this policy of
ovorrlgorous ; .economy und over
scrupulous redemption of our solemn
plodges to tho American electoralo.'
Senator Goro then proceeded to say
that there aro a few projects which
deserve favorable consideration, and
ho ergued In favor of an amend
ment Increasing tho appropriation for

The local lodge Knights of Pythias
htfld their annual memorial services
Sunday afternoon, according to their
cuatoin. The time of Damon and
Pythias datos back many hundred
years and the lesson wuich had its
origin in the actual life of these two
preat characters has been a wonder
ful tribute to mankind through all
the ages. It Is today one of the
greatest teachings to bo found any
where. "Do unto others as you would that
they should do unto you." This is
why some 800,01)0 members are en
rolled under the banner of this groat
order in the United States.
H. K. Jope delivered the memorial
address, he being a member of the
order for many years, and spoke
ably of the beneficial workings of
the KniglUsj vnd to be sure he
planted many very impressive
thoughts in the minds of his listen
ers. Like a minister he took a text and
used the above mentioned "Do unto
others as you 'would .that ithey
should do unto you". The gather
ing of tho brothers upon this occas
ion he said was one that showed
their feeling man to man, their
friendship for the departed as well
as for the living. He said it was not
always the iperson that furnished
the idea that made tho most out of
it. but those who lived up to the
ideal bore as much credit and some
times more than the originator of
the idea.
Among the good deeds that we do,
none stnnd out quite so clear and
distinct as the acts of our lives in
following out the idea of doing as we
would be done by. This is why the
members gather once a year to pay
tribute to the departed brothers.
Their memory for the ones who were
once with s, show that as we pass
one by -- Hiat we shall be remem
bered accordingly as we have lived.
During the earthquake in Califor
nia the Knights of Pythias was the
first order to send aid to tho suffer
ing. They sent aid to the amount
of $4000, and the first lodge to send
part of this amount was Alpha lodge
No. 47, of Roseburir, Ore. The ki fat
ness of the order Is not known by
Its numbers it is the deeds that
count in this world, and the good
tnat is found in the teachings of the
Knights of Pythias is a glowing trib
ute to the world today.
The services were carried out ac
cording to the ritual on this occas
ion, and under the able supervision
of C. F. Hopkins. The music on
this memorial occasion will long be
remembered as being In perfect l.ir
niony with the other numbers. Two
most pleasing selections were render
I . ,
Ohio Supreme Court
be in Roseburg
ed by Mrs. Chas. A. Brand, with Mrs.
Nadine Suepard accompanying, and
another fine solo was rendered by
Leon McClintock, Mrs. Shepard ac
companying. The Knights will always have a
warm spot In their hearts for this
assistance and words cannot express
their appreciation for It. The cere
monies were ended by the Knights
marching to the I. O. O. F. ceme
tery and decorating tho graves of
their deceased members'.
