In discussing scvcntl'tlttyi ngo tin' advertisement addressed to Masons , bnd stating, the purposes actuating ' .the Masonic bodies In sponsoring th . so called compulsory education law , The Bulletin said that it might bo .that the bill ha.il not been Initiated for religious purposes, as stated In ' the advertisement, but that lodge room argument' and popular discus sion bore on the question of religion' almost exclusively. Our weekly con "temporary seW In this. 'an attack on the purpose, the aim and the patriot ism of the Masonic, bodies and "takes issue with us on the subject. Now, we are as fond of argument as the next man, but It Is imposslbl to start one with lis on this "issue,' because there is no Issue. The Bui letln believes just as thoroughly as its neighbor in the general right pur pose, high aim and patriotism of the Masonic order.' One of the owners of The Bulletin is a Mason and at least one of Its employes. We have not assailed the order. We have no quar rel with and nothing against the Ma sonic order. It happens, however, that the Ma sonic order, pf) ono. branch of it, has Initiated & incisure for the people, to, .vote on wbldb"we'ibelie.ve should) be discussed frebiy'nTjd frankly by1 every newspaper In Oregon. JThis measure we believe to be a bad one. We think that the Masons who initiated it .be lieve it to be In the Interests pf Amer icanism. We believe! It is not. To that extent there .is -an Issue not with Masonry, but .with those w;bo favor this measure. , The editor of Thfriulletln Is not "prone to inject a" religious issue into this column, as suggested by our contemporary, (Thereligiobji Issue is injected by'the bill Itself. And this is so even It unintended. In spite of tbe'EtutenieAC'raado' in' the advertise ment .retorted .to, itha 'religious Issue Is Injected:.

Tho, statement made by Tho Bul letin that' the1 lodgo room argument bora on the question of religion was neither misinformation, nor a .wilful lio.
