BURNS’ ANNIVERSARY || OBSERVED BY SCOTS | Yraditions of Poet’s Native Land Upheld at Dinner Given by Caledonian Club. Pribute to the valor, the worth and | glory of Scottish people and tradi-|| tions, as held up in the poetry and || verse of Robert Burne, was paid)| by more than 100 admirers of the Sootch poet, gathered at the City,| Club last night at a dinner of the || Caledonian Club, on the 165th anni-|| versary of the birth of the poet. Addresses eulogizing the poet and |/} the land of his birth were made by speakers, and Scottish songs were || eung in Scotch dialect. i America was referred to as “alll! private experiment” for Scotchmen, where they may work out in their own way and to thelr own ends the ambitions they bring with them -from the land of their birth, by Hugh Reld of the American Federa- tion of Labor. Burns was characterized as a man of conservative ideals, but one who ve conservatism. from other races whose national heroes are usually soldiers, statesmen | | or others of international achieve- ment, have chosen a poet and all| chronicler of their traditions aa their || mational hero. i Rev. Robert Atkinson challenged || any one to point to a single line of Burns poetry in which he casts as- persions 8t 'a fine or noble aspira- tion. “He never eatirizes religion itself, but the fake and sham methods of manifesting it,” he sald. ‘He; hurls his:darts at the men who! pr?';leg‘n to worship God, but serve the ovil. A musical program included selec- tions by, Charles Douglas, Miss M. Cassels, Peter Grant, Miss E. Duncan, D. Mclean, Charles uchars and | Mr, Garrioch. Hugh -Reld, former president of the club, served as toast- master. The following' consttiuted the committeo on arrangements: Hugh Reid, chairman; Alexander Douglas, Alexander Kennedy, Louis Werden, Alexander Campbell, Mrs. 0. J. Weeks, Miss Margaret Fulton @nd Miss Margaret Maclean. River of Romance. Prem tho Minneapolls Journal.
