Subscribe Now and Get the News While it's News. As this issue the Sun goes to press the members of the Masonic Grand Lodge and many subordinates as well are preparing to attend the semi-centennial of Masonry to be held at Kansas City, Mo., next week. The occasion is appropriate for an article dealing briefly with the past, the present and especially the future of this virile fraternity. Yet we are content at looking ahead because of the knowledge we have of the work of Prof. Joe E. Herriford, who during his leisure hours followed the bent of a discriminating taste in literature and held us in suspense with articles on "Fifty Years of Masonry" until the very last word. It is therefore vitally important that we become acquainted with the Masonic history of this jurisdiction at least. Intelligence and strength can be attained only through painstaking study of facts that will lead to knowledge: for all intelligent action is based on knowledge. In looking ahead, therefore, we should consider that the growth of Masonry during the past years can indicate but one thing—the fraternity in harmony with the spirit of the age. In others words, the Masonic fraternity has found, its proper place in fraternal social life of this jurisdiction; and it is undoubtedly the richer at the end of fifty years because of the splendid training Grand Master Crews and his predecessors have had for judicial and administrative work. And, all in all, the leadership of this fraternity during the last half of the century upon The Kansas City Sun W. W. FIELDS, Cameron, Mo, The Splendid Relief Secretary and a Formidable Candidate for Grand Master which it is enterig is in keeping of experienced, courageous and capable men. No other fraternal organization has had such extremes of exaltation and depression. No other has produced so many men who are literally "seers"—gifted with vision to arouse, to inspire, to lead. In every subordinate body are to be found the social, political, educational and religious leaders of the community. We write this perfectly mindful of the fact that many a man who reads this merited encouragement will not admit even to his neighbor the justness of our claim. That type of man is the big snag that has to be watched in the channel of fraternal life. He and his associates have ruined many an organization, and that one only in which vigilant watch is kept is successful. For this reason the primary purpose of the progressive fraternity is to familiarize its membership with the statutes, principles and activities HERRIFORD, Sign Correspondence in America and an Grand Master. of the Order and to inform outsiders of its merits and its benefits. Moreover, some aggressive, attractive human medium is necessary. The chief function of a fraternal publication is in supplying this medium. As it is Sam's own lodge is a sort of family circle. Our side of it he knows little of the fraternity except in a distant and rather perfunctory way, and in consequence his sense of fraternal responsibility is essentially vague. Despite this fact, the Masonic fraternity has won for itself a place in the hearts of men such as no other fraternity has ever occupied. Every decade, yes, every year, it will more KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1916. [Name] than ever justify its claim that a good Mason is a good citizen. Every centennial, yes, every semi-centennial, it will more than encourage such celebrations representing the fraternal spirit of the age, incomparable in its enthusiasm, its achievements, its benefits, its protection, its charity and its love to fellowman.

In making a general survey of the first half centuryy of Masonry in Missouri one cannot help but note certain phases of development which stand out most conspicuously. In the first place it may be noted that in matters of instruction the moral tenets of the Order have been given great prominence. This is due in a measure to the fact that the earliest as well as many of the later teachers and leaders of the craft have been ministers of the gospel, who naturally exemplified the importance of lofty moral ideals and correct principles in social intercourse. If there has ever been any ground for the JOE E. HERRIFORD. contention that Masonry is opposed to the fuller appreciation of the Christian virtues that charge certainly cannot be proved in the field of Negro craftsmith. Indeed, it has been the rule generally that the assumption of Masonic obligations by a profane man has been followed by the formal taking up of religious vows and the union with church, it being taught that no man could ever become a good Mason unless he were at the MIDDLETON CATERING CO. Will Serve Meals at All Hours During the Entire KNIGHTS TEMPLAR ENCAMPMENT August 4th to 11th at Don't forget the Firm, the Date nor the Place. same time a professed Christian. The race is naturally emotional and the influences of religious feeling have been most easily propagated and most strongly felt in every relation of life. There can be no doubt, either, but that Masonry has done a great deal toward the higher development of home instincts among our people in the state. Industry is one of the most tangible points in the life of a Mason, and it is a general feeling among the brotherhood that a man who will not apply himself at some form of honest livelihood is not fit for the enjoyment of the society. This idea has been educative as well as restraining and the result has been felt in the desire to acquire property and to encourage the fundamental notions of family life. It naturally followed that a Mason should be married, and that he should rear a family of educated children. All our grand masters have made temperance a constant theme in their teachings, and this has had a most salutary effect upon the lives of the brethren. For a Mason to be seen drunk has ever been regarded as a cardinal infraction of our laws and violently opposed to our most sacred principles. Even at our annual conventions upon which occasions men are apt to give way to considerable conviviality there has never been any extreme in this respect among the Masons, and such moderate indulgence as may have existed has been carefully kept out of sight and carefully regulated. From the very outset the Masons set up such high claims, of rectitude that general society assumed a censorship so strong that the claims had to be lived up to and the professions carried out. Thus Masonry helped society and society helped Masonry. At first men were attracted to the work of the craft largely on account of its ancient mysticisms, its venerable history and its interesting legends. Very little attention was paid to any financial or material benefits to be derived directly from the resources of the organization. So-called sick dues were mostly voluntary and help even in hours of distress was left to the option and disposition of the more fortunate. Nor was such help ever very lavishly bestowed, but the system encouraged a form of stinginess and indifference quite at variance with the high claims of love and benevolence which the doctrines inculcate. As time passed, however, and other imitative societies sprang into existence emphasizing financial benefits and protective measures and setting up a strong competition in matters effecting membership our order was naturally moved to greater activity in this regard. Our leaders hurriedly went to work formulating plans of benefits which would meet the approval of the craft at large and not prove too severe upon those who still held to the old doctrine that Masonry should be free from all material considerations. To overcome this very odd idea has been a great task for our leaders. Gradually the necessity for some regular form of sick dues was recognized and such systems were adopted in the lodges. Then came the education for a regular method of alleviating the distress caused by the death of the family head and the present Masonic Relief Department has evolved. The idea of a burial fund supported by the entire jurisdiction was later seen to be equally as logical, and its recent adoption has given the last link in the chain of a rational system of practical brotherhood and substantial sympathy. The unit of the Masonic family is no longer centered in the lodge. It is recognized in the whole jurisdiction. Whatever effects a brother affects all others of the craft, regardless of locality and residence. Lodges are kept as a mere convenience in carrying out a general plan of work esoteric and benevolent. Lodge lines instead of being dividing lines are now connecting lines, and the section from which a brother hails is of little importance in measuring his deserts. THE LATE JOHN LANGE.

And that's no dream. —That everybody is asking the question, Who will be the next Grand Master? —That it is not going to stay hot always and you'd better begin to buy coal. —That the uncouth and unclean Negro is a tremendous handicap to the race. —That every girl who is not married is going to try to get her a husband during these four big conventions coming on. Well, now's your chance, girls. —That when a Negro owes you and doesn't mean to pay, he can never look you in the eye and always try to avoid you. Do you know any like that? The Sun does. REV. WM. H.

A large number can be accommodated from the fact that a number of the regular lodgers are temporarily out of the building. The scores of visitors to the boys' camp Inspiration have been impressed with the discipline and fellowship of the campers. The boys are loathe to return to the city. Mr. F. C.

The meetings began Wednesday, July 26, and were continued through the week closing with "Educational Sunday." Special interest was exhibited in this meeting owing to the fact that it was here at Nashville that this organization was first launched twelve years ago. Each year there has been steady growth, bringing together the leaders in education throughout the entire country. At this meeting there were representatives from sixteen states. Prof. J. F. P. Brock, Principal of the City Schools of Philadelphia, represented the east, together with Miss J. V. Pinyon of New York, and then came representatives from the District of Columbia and right on through the south and west, covering Texas in the southwest and Missouri in the central west. Missouri was represented by Principal J. R. E. Lee of the Lincoln High School of Kansas City, who took care of the State Association's interest as well as the interest of his own school. The program was made up of such talent as Mr. W. T. B. Williams of Virginia, agent of the Slater Board; Dr. F. A. McKenzie, President of Fisk University; Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, Director of the Urban League of New York, and Nashville, President N. B. Young of the State College in Florida; Dr. J. E. Moreland, the International Y. M. C. A., Secretary of Washington, D. C. together with a large number of other Negro educators throughout the country. From beginning to end the program was full of interest and pertinent with suggestions bearing upon education, both rural and city. Among that topics for discussion were: "The Transfer of Students From One College to Another;" "Industrial Courses in the Negro Colleges;" "Courses in English and Their Effectiveness;" "The Teaching of Negro History;" "Overcoming the Static Condition of the Colored Public School;" "Practical Training in Normal Schools for City and Rural School Work." No teacher who is interested in making progress could fail to find helpful suggestions at every sitting of this session. The president, during the past year, Mr. John Hope, President of Morehouse College, had made special preparation that the topics to be discussed during the meeting should have direct bearing upon the educational problems of the race. Practically all of the officers who were present were re-elected, except the president, who, by the Constitution, does not succeed himself. The new president is Principal W. H. Singleton, of the Howard High School, Chattanooga, Tenn. The next meeting will be held in New Orleans, La., July, 1917. Negro Business and Professional Directory of Greater Kansas City AUTHORS MRS.

Kansas City, Mo.—Arrangements are practically complete for the reception and entertainment of the National Negro Business League which is to meet here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 16, 17 and 18, 1916. The business and professional men of the city have enlisted in a mighty effort to make this year one long to be remembered by those who visit here in August. When it is remembered that several of the most important organizations of Negroes in the country are to gather here, the desire of the citizens of Kansas City to accord a welcome worthy of their city is easily understood. for these meetings is the coming session of the National Medical Association. The arrival of delegates who plan to attend this meeting is awaited with eager expectation. A certain sense of pride is manifested in being host to such a learned body as this association of medical men, along with the organization of business men. The same high degree of interest which always makes these sessions well worth attending will characterize the meeting of the National Medical Association this year. The program being arranged will contain many features of peculiar significance to the medical fraternity. Live There plan to meet in the Mid- Western City during the month of August, The Missouri State Grand Lodge of Masons, The National Medical Association, the National Alliance of Postal Employees, and The National Negro Business League with its affiliated bodies—The National Negro Press Association, The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association, The National Negro Insurance Association, The National Negro Retail Merchants' Association and the National Negro Bar Association These organizations represent the more prominent of the business and professional activities of the race. Those who compose them are men and women who are intellectual and economic leaders in their several communities—men and women who occupy foremost places in the thought and achievement of the race. The gatherings therefore promise to be high in character and rich in information and good accomplished. Kansas City boasts a large Negro population. In all the city's activities the colored people share. They enjoy exceptional educational facilities and are prosperous in many lines of commercial enterprise.

YOU'VE TRIED THE REST, NOW TRY THE BEST. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. The Grand Lodge session just closed at Macon, Mo., was well attended and general satisfaction with conditions was demonstrated by the fact that it is the first session for many years that no new laws were passed. The order is in splendid condition, all things considered, and we are looking forward to great preparations for the entertainment of the Supreme Lodge in St. Louis in 1917. The three-year law on the office of Grand Chancellor was held to be void by me as the matter had been submitted to the Supreme Chancellor for a decision, and this ruling was sustained by the Committee on Law and Supervision, and approved on roll call by a large majority of the Grand Lodge Officers and Representatives. The matter now rests until the meeting of the Supreme Lodge in 1917. The officers elected for 1916-1917: A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor, 3137 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo. Grand Vice Chancellor, Prof. A.

Philadelphia, Pa.—The Main Line Citizens' Association of Philadelphia and other organizations interested in welfare work "too conducted a baby week campaign last March that was a great benefit to the surrounding communities. One of its features was the beginning of a "baby improvement" contest that was to last, and did, for several months. The results were announced on Saturday by the committee that carried on the work. It seemed a good idea to those interested to go around yesterday and ask the mothers of the winners how they managed things, under the advice of a doctor and a visiting nurse, so that their children showed so much improvement in two or three months. Heading the list of winners was William Johnson of 714 Brooks street, Bryn Mawr. Seated on the porch was a woman, smiling proudly, when questioned, over her baby and a $10 prize. She said her name was Mrs. Silas Johnson and the name of the award was William. He showed, the investigators said, he ought to win a prize. He is as healthy and happy a little Colored boy as ever heard a crooning lullaby. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are Colored people. They yare proud of their record in clanning up their house so well and in making William so healthy that the doctors judged him worthy of first award. In another house, several squares away, was Ethel Cattell, white, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Cattell, who are the parents of four girls and two boys, winner of the second prize. After that, John Smith, another $5 prize winner, was under observation at 40 Prospect avenue. Mrs. Smith, holding John in her lap, had two girls and two more boysys seated in chairs beside her. The Smiths are also colored people, thus two of the winners, the first and third, are Colored babies. LAP St. Joseph, Mo. 40 Years a Mason.
