Head of Scottish Rite Masons Charged
With Misuse ot Authority
A. F. Flegel, well-known Portland
lawyer and leading Methodist layman,
was a zealous opponent of the school
measure throughout the campaign. In
the course of an addreaa delivered a
few days ago he charged P. 8. Mal­
colm, inspector-general in Oregon of
the Scottish Rite Masons, with threa­
tening him with the penalties of the
order for his attitude on the bill. Mr.
Flegel said:
“It were sufficient cause for me
to be here if 1 can save that ancient
and honorable order, of which I am
a member, from internal disorder and
disruption by directing its attention
to the muzzle it would put on when
it submitted to the intolerant deapot-

bulletin, is opposing the election of
an honorable Mason to an important
office and advocating the election of
his opponent who has been refused
admission into the order.
"I am opposed to this because I
am opposed to despotism, benevolent

Protestantism Endangered
"I oppose the bill because I be­
lieve in a Christian civilization and
a Christian church, and that a Chris­
tian civilization cannot exist without
a Christian church. I oppose the bill
for the reason that if this bill is a
lawful exercise of power, then It is

olicism. This is further illustrated
by the fact that the Protestant church
receives 90 per cent of it»« leaders
from Protestant schools, while the
Catholic church receives 100 tier cent
of its leaders from its schools. I
warn my Protestant friends who
would punish the church of Rome by
lighting this fuse, that at the other

will destroy Christian civilization.**

Possibly You're Bashful!
Dress suitably and then forget
about your costume and yourself.
Make good manners a habit, and then
cease to think about them or what
ethers will think of you.
Shyness is a weakness that grows
«•bon it is yielded to. Young people
who feel themselves at a disadvan­
tage in social intercourse are likely
to avoid society, with the result that
the thing which was a shrinking at
the start becomes an obsession.
Genial people are not hurt by soli­
tude, but to the diffident it is dis­
astrous. If you feel awkward and
unhapy in the company of other young
people, the more you should soak their
company.
Shyness can be conquered. Lord
Chesterfield, whose very name haa be­
come a synonym for social graces,
has recorded the fact that his first
appearance in society gave him far
more discomfort than pleasure. But
. the most timid may overcome this
handicap if they think more of pleas­
ing those they meet and not at all
of the impression they are making.—
Citizen.
Mother! whose virgin bosom was un­
crossed
With the least shade of thought to
sin allied;
Woman! above all women glorified.
Our tainted nature's solitary boast;
Purer than foam on central ocean
tost.
Brighter than eastern skies at day­
break strewn
With fancied roses, than the unblem­
ished moon
Before her wane begins on heaven’s
blue coast.
Thy image falls to earth. Yet soma,
I ween.
Not unforgiven, the suppliant knee
- might bend
Ao to a visible power, in which did
blend
AU that was mixed and reconciled in
thee
Of mother's love, with maiden purity,
Of high and low, celestial with serene.
—W ords worth.
