Brother John B. Hart, 4841 Federal street, was recently presented with a Past Master's Jewel of solid gold, richly and beautifully engraved by the grand lodge of this state, for the wonderful services which he rendered in helping to wage the successful fight against the Bogus Masons of this city.

Grand Master Samuels Delivered the Following Eloquent Oration "We have assembled today in commemoration of and to do honor to an established custom of Masonry, which has descended to us from the traditions and landmarks of the past, which all brothers of the craft have been constrained to celebrate because of their love and interest to perpetuate the glorious characters of this mighty fraternal body with which we are all identified, and whose power and influence for charity and morality is wielded throughout the universe "St. John the Baptist is one of the Patron Saints from whom the Masonic Lodge emanated, and it is his great work we are present today to cherish and revere, as he represents the embodiment of Masonic work as well as being one of the grand and noble divine characters so beautifully depicted and recorded in our sacred history. Most of us know that Masonry forms the great link between the period of barbarism and the dawn of civilization and that it has endured the trials and tests of the ages; even up until now this zenith of modern civilization when it has expanded to such gigantic proportions. "It was in the early days of Freemasonry that natural religion just beamed upon the minds of men, and the darkness which ushered in man's early existence began to disappear; man's mind was insensible of the contemplation of the work of nature and its manifestations of their God.

"It is my earnest wish that your Annual Conference to be in session here from June 25 to July 2 may result in much good to your people in our city and to your entire race throughout the country." "It was in Pennsylvania, in 1790, that the first definite step was taken toward the abolition of slavery in the United States. Since then the progress of your race in this country has been steady and upward, which augurs well for further and greater development in the future. "Conventions like the one to be held by your Association will not only accelerate that development, but will bring about a cooperation and understanding between the races so necessary for the welfare and advancement of our great Nation."

STUMP, WHO IS STILL TRAMPING HIS WAY THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHLAND, WILL ARRIVE IN THIS CITY THIS MORNING, WHERE HE WILL SPEND A FEW DAYS IN LOOKING AT ITS MANY TALL BUILDINGS. Cleveland, Ohio. — The Baptists have pulled off a great meeting in this city, and it has now passed into history, and the next thing will be the National Baptist Convention next September in Nashyille, Tenn., when the home of the National Baptist Publishing house, or the home of the Sunday School Board will be thrown open to the public, and this is going to be one of the greatest publishing houses in the world owned and operated by my people. Look where I was when I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines last week, and then think of where I am today, and what I am doing, but honey I have been in Wilberforce University, and had the pleasure of seeing Bishop John A. Gregg fully pass from Dr. John A. Gregg, president of Wilberforce University, to Bishop John A. Gregg, president of the work of his great church in South Africa, and it will not be long before he will be on his way to his work. It will be this fall before he sails, and I am told that he is going to drop in to see many of his friends to raise some money for his work before he departs for the other land. Of course, you have heard that Dr. Gilbert H. Jones, was elected president of the institution, and will take hold of his new field at once, and will make Rome howl. Of course there is going to be peace and harmony now, because that was the desire and wish of my friend, Bishop Joshua H. Jones, to have his son at the head of the institution, and during his administration, Bishop John A. Gregg got hash-e-square-lull, and will take it over to Africa with him. But there is no time to play now, for work and real work must be done at Wilberforce. The members of the African Methodist Episcopal church will have to lay aside their differences and just get busy and make things go. They must complete that great building and then they must pay for it, and if you do not short will be the life from the cradle to the grave. But I am not talking grave yard talk this week, but a living gospel. Prof. Jones was dean, and he has the scholarship, and it is up to him now to back that scholarship up with executive ability and common mother sense and he will make it go and failure to do this will mean failure, and as a young man he cannot afford to fail. It will take too long to explain the cause of failure. Four years of real work by this intellectual giant, and he was elevated to the highest place in the gift of the church. Many wanted that he remain. But I am not going to spend this letter talking about Bishop Gregg for he is as much Bishop now as he will ever be. He will spend four years in Africa and then come on back home and will be assigned to some good place. I had the pleasure of hearing a wonderful address by Miss Mary Evans, who is a speaker,—in fact she is a well trained preacher. She took a regular theological course, and is now entitled to the degree of doctor of divinity, and I want that her school should confer the degree. I met Prof. Charles S. Smith, head of the commercial department, and he is bringing things to pass. He is a wonderful character and has turned out some strong men and women. I looked at him and he looked at me, and then we got away from there. Prof. Smith hitched up his new automobile car carriage and toted me over to Springfield where I got a locogine headed for this place. It was a special composed of bed cars and one chair car. My people were just going in style. I got in style with them, and what a fine ride I had. Get into town, I found people lined up waiting for this locogine to come to town and bring delegates. There were many people who had prepared to take them. Some had decided to take enough at $2.00 a day to pay for their winter coal, and others wanted to entertain them for the cause sake. One minister and the grafting order, although he was too much imbued with the Holy Spirit to do any grafting himself or to permit it to be done, but he got on the wrong side of me in some way, and I gave him the go by. You see I had been invited to stop at one of the aggressive citizens of Cleveland, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin S. Thomas, and they are the people who almost brought music into existence. With that wonderful voice he has amassed fame and fortune. They own a beautiful home in the residence section of the city, and one of the finest, and he told me that it represented "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep." Perhaps you will not understand statement, but his bass voice charmed thousands of people, and that was his favorite song, and ended with the purchase of that handsome home, Mrs. Thomas is a fine pianist. She can just make it enter your soul and waft you toward heaven. Now into this home I went. I was delighted to hear Mr. Thomas say that he would perhaps make a tour this year, and in case he should it will give the people an opportunity to hear one of the greatest bass singers in this country, and he will be accompanied by that wonderful wife of his. It was a wonderful thing to see these things, and to note what we have accomplished. Getting to my stopping place, and if you want to know how I got there, I will tell you that Dr. Wise, one of the leading physicians of this country, and from way down in Texas, toted me in his automobile car carriage. Do you know Dr. Eugene J. Gregg? He used to be down in Alabama, but now he is here in this town, and believe me when I tell you that he is making good. His office is crowded all the time, and he is just keeping the sick people on their feet and getting them well. I had the pleasure of seeing his cozy home. The meeting of the Congress was held at the Zion Hill Baptist church, with the Rev. C. C. Ailer, D. D. pastor, a man with a record. It seemed that brooms were on a strike at the church, but they were all busy. Brooms should not go on a strike on such occasions as this, but they will act like a bad boy, break out when they should not. Well it was a great meeting, and often the ladies had to use their skirts for dusting purposes. Such is life in a busy city. This is Cleveland and the first time I have ever been in the city. The Editor has not sent me here before, and I am not prepared to tell you all of my impressions of it. Dr. D. W. Cannon was elected for another time the president of the Congress, and he made a good speech. There are some things about which I would like to complain, but I don't want to be a grumbler. I will just let it go on its way rejoicing and when we are through with it, let us say "Praise the Lord." The Missouri people were nice to me, and Mrs. Rosa Gipson was kind enough to wash my bandana, and I want to thank her for it. I would like to mention some of the others but will not this week. Dr. A. M. Townsend, is going to surprise the people in September when the National Baptist convention meeting is held in Nashville. I am sure you want to be there. Now let me tell you that the Chicago people are getting ready to put the big pot in the little one in August, when the National Negro Business League will celebrate its 25th anniversary. All the old friends of the late Booker T. Washington will be there and those who took part in the organization. I want to be there myself and already Charles Stewart, Jr., has invited me to stop at his home and says that the invitation has the approval of his mother and father. I would like to be able to tell you all about the League, and I am going to do this before I get through with this world. I would like to have you notice all of my letters. I don't know as I have ever seen so many educated young people. They had some high school girls and boys there, and I would mention two young misses who are members of the senior class of the Jefferson High school, Lafayette, Indiana. They are going to make the world know that they have passed through and they are using their heads right now for more than mere hat racks, Miss Agnes Johnson, in her teen years and Miss Thelma McDonald. They have been very attentive to the business of the Congress and believe me when I tell you that they had their pencils and tablets keeping notes. They will make a good report when they get back home. When we can get our young people to seek the higher thought instead of the movies, and things like that, it tells to the world that we are going to have a better race. I will tell you about others.

Has that shared the same fate of the tem- ple, crumbled, and passed away? To these questions we can give a ready and emphatic answer, and say, that the great order of Freemasonry has gone on.

Published by The Bobbs-Merrill Company, 185 Mad- ison Avenue, New York City. Price $2.00. By Mail $2.10 | The governor of a state in which ‘the Klan has been especially ram- pant, and who has consistently fought ‘it, thus gives the excuse for its ex- istence: “Try to imagine, if you can, what it would mean to five where it is practically impossible to enforce the law, where intimidation and abuse are customary, theft common, arson not unusual, and murder occasional, all unpunishable, There are such places. Sparse settlements, family feads, powerful criminal elements, make it almost impossible to get sure law enforcement in these — plague spots. And you can't reform them by the ballot for the toughs control ‘the election. If any man takes the lead in trying to clean up,. he will suffer. Tf he is not killed his barns will be burned, his crops ruined, his stock déstroyed or stolen, his women folk insulted. “So there has always been a ten- dency in this state and some others to form vigilance committees to han- dle such situations. You can call it cowardice if you want to, but when unknown men apply pressure to the tough element they can get results and still be safe from reprisals. Scores of places have been cleaned up in just that way.” Te is this desire to reform, to make mote decent the community in which the Klan operates-that Mr. Frost con- siders the deepest motive underlying the Klan’s activities today. Its an- tagonism to the Negro he did not en. counter. “In my entire inquiry,” the author says “and in many long discus. sions with both Klansmen and Klan enemies, the Negro has never beer mentioned until I myself brought him up.” Its antagonism to the Jew and the Catholic was much more ap- parent, it was held indeed fundamental to the organization, but it does no! chiefly account for the immense growth of the Klan, from four hun. dred thousand to four million in the fast three years, Under the new Im- Perial Wizard, Hiram Wesley Evans of Texas, the Klan has shifted it emphasis and is less a hatred-breed- ing machine and’ a more powerful weapon for cleaning up a State. This is the conclusion that Mr Frost comes to after a long and painstaking study of the Klan. The growth of this organization in the West and North where such com- munities as the Governor describes do not exist, has brought with it a more peaceful form of cleaning up, but the method is the same. By secrecy, by military orders, sometimes by terror- ism, these vigilance committees, main- tain their rule: ‘What sort of world does this white- robed organization want to make of America? That is a question that we have a right to ask. Its ideals, it tells us in answer, are thosé of the found- €rs of this republic. As it recites them in grandiose fashion in its ritual they boil down to the shielding of the sanctity of the home and the chastity of womanhood, the upholding of white supremacy, the strict limitation ae Supremacy, the strict jimitation of white immigration. (with the help of the eugenists they have put this through) prohibition, strict sabbatar- ianism, These ideals represents, the Imperial Wizard says, the aspirations of the average white Protestant male in America. To the reader they seem a trifle poor and starved. There is no desire for beauty, no reaching out for higher intellectual life, only a de- termination to keep all men in the path, the average white Protestant ‘male thinks he should tread. There is no economic program, but there is a great deal of secret interference into aliens’ lives. According to its ritual everyone not a Ku Klux is an “alien.” ‘The organization today enforces its decrees chiefly through the boycott and social ostracism. For instance: A man is known to consort with a notorious woman. Hg is warned to give her up. Refusing he loses his job, no one speaks to him, he cannot buy food, his landlord dispossesses him, he finds himself a pauper. And all this done so that no one can prove anything unlawful. Tulsa has been cleaned up through this method, coupled with violence. The Klan is practicing, Mr. Frost says, “our good old American habit of rearranging the world.” We do this oftener and worse than any other people on earth. The book contains a long account of the Klan’s activity in politics, its determination to get into the White House. It may be there now, for all we know. Klansmen do not dis- close their identity, It makes it very difficult to vote, for only the man on the inside knows whether a candidate is affiliated with the Klan or not. One may vote quite innocently for a white- hooded ritualist who dubs you and everyone outside of the organization, “alien.” This extreme Americanism in the South is amusing to one who remembers that not until the Spanish- American War was it safe to fly the stars and stripes in a colored South- ern school. There is a great deal of material in this book, including the full constitu- tion of the Klansman’s creed. It must .be the ritual, the costume, above all the nightriding that keeps the organi- zation from being intolerably dull. To a New Yorker who lives in a city where the alien element dominates and who therefore can keep in con- stant touch with the ‘highest expres- sions in music, art, drama, the world the Klansman wishes to force down one’s throat is like a horrible night- mare. The Ku Klux have become, if we are to believe Mrs Frost, a Kloranie body to force every citizen to live upon Main Street.
