We have a large number of chickens there, but I feel a couple of live ducks, turkeys, pigs and other fowl, etc., and a cow would add to To the Mason Family, My letter to you this week bears three principal thoughts. First Thanksgiving; second Election of officers and third the Prince Hall Masonic and Order of the Easter Star Home. Thanksgiving Every day of our lives should be "Thanksgiving Day," for even the poorest, the richest, the most highly honored and the meanest person in point of position receives some great blessing each day. We have but to let our eyes be single to the good to find many things for which to be thankful in our friends and associates. We are thankful that we are able to boast of being members of the greatest order in the world and that God so ordained that our Patron Grand Master Prince Hall should have been a member of that class of men who were made and warranted by the representative of our mother Grand Lodge from England, thus making all Prince Hall Masons in their various departments authoritative and regular. We are thankful for the experiences of the Heroines whose lives we strive to emulate in the various departments of the Adoptive Rites, and appreciate the devine inspiration which promoted the various writers to so shape and chronicle the history of these lives in the rituals of the Easter Star Chapters, Heroines of Jericho Courts. Heroines of the Templar Crusades Guilds, Assemblies of the Golden Circle, Isis Court, etc., that we are permitted as a leading Fraternity to give some recognition to the worth of our splendid womanhood. Election of Officers November and December are two of the most anticipated months in the Masonic Year in Illinois. In either one or the other of these two months every member of the Fraternity in Illinois and Jurisdiction must sit in judgment upon it officers and other members who are candidates for office. If we would hope to succeed in our aim toward the highest development we must at this time vote not merely for the individual, but for qualification and efficiency. Use your ballot for the person who is best fitted to hold the prospective office, regardless whether they are in line for it, or whether your personal relations are friendly or not. The biggest failure of an organization is clique elections. Machine work that does not place a person in office who has the best interest of the Fraternity at heart is a disgrace and a detriment. Be fair with yourself; square with your associates and frank to your candidates for office and God will give you a successful, peaceful harmonious year for 1923, for which to be thankful. At the Grand Session in Evanston a recommendation made by the Grand Master providing that each lodge in the Jurisdiction be asked to make a thanksgiving special freewill offering for the Home on or before the 25th of December, was approved. Last year the Holy Royal Arch Masons gave the Home a Victoria. Oriental Lodge sent a number of graphaphone records, subscriptions to the Chicago Defender and the Daily Tribune which are united regularly to the Home by the publishers and all of which are enjoyed by the brothems and sisters there. And many other things were sent by va- Mailing Address, 5021 Indiana Ave. Office, Room 1, 3956, South State St. Phone Kenwood 8733. rious lodges chapters and departments of the Order. We have a large number of chickens there, but I feel a couple of live ducks, turkeys, pigs and other fowl, etc., and a cow would add to the variety of the nenu as well as furnish additional eggs, fresh milk and buttter, for those at the Home. These things are of vital importance in the diet of the young and aged. We owe it to them to provide the best for their comfort and care. Any contribution will be appreciated. But "Man shall not live by bread alone." The Home is in need of Masonic and other literature, a sectional book case and some pictures. Brother R. W. Williams, Worshipful Master of Oriental Lodge No. 68 has offered to assist in buying a Ford for the Home. They are reduced $50.00 on each car now. $end Reports Any contribution may be sent to the Home in care of the superintendent, Brother Chas. E. Golden, 581 Twentyth avenue, Rock Island, Ill. A notice of contribution sent will be forwarded to Mrs. Malissa McClure, chairman of the Home Board Auxiliary, 6514 Evans avenue, Chicago, Ill., so that you can be given credit in our annual report, and also through the columns of the Gazette. With best wishes for your continued success and a happy Thanksgiving, I am fraternally yours for greater service. REV. HUNTER LEAVES EVAN: STON. Rev. B. H. Hunter, Worshipful Master of Mount Moriah Lodge No. 28 F. & A. M., Evanston, Ill., has been called to postor the Mount Pisgah Baptist church at Bloomington, Ill.

About three hundred were present. Sublime Prince I. Hodge was elected Commander in Chief. Sublime Princes Oxford and Blake were elected first and second lieutenants. The other officers re-remained as they were. Dr. Furniss was a guest at the Vincent Hotel while here and visited Grand Master Samuels in his office at 3958 S. State street. He has returned to his home the Grand East in Valley of Indianapolis, Indiana. CORNERSTONE LODGE IAYS CORNER STONE. Cornerstone Lodge No. 91, F. & A. M., Chicago, Ill., was the lodge of honor to a provisional Grand Lodge which laid the cornerstone for Annex of Salem Baptist church, 30th and South LaSalle streets, Sunday afternoon. Brother Andrew Babero, the Worshipful Master had a good representation of his members in line. St. George Commandery escorted the procession which was led by the Knights Templar band. The Grand Master was called out of the city on important business and deputized Brother S. A. Lane, Past Right Worshipful Grand Senior Warden to officiate as his proxy. The other members of the provisional Grand Lodge were Deputy Grand Master T. Jordan; Grand Senior Warden E. Freeman; Grand Junior Warden, Fred Moses; Grand Secretary E. A. Dozier; Grand Treasurer S. C. Jefferson; G. Standard Bearer Will Hawkins; Grand Chapplain G. W. Beck; Grand Marshall Willis Bibbs; Grand Sword Bearer N. B. Redmond; Grand Senior Steward A. Young; Grand Junior Steward Julius Archer; Grand Senior Deacon W. Jackon; Grand Junior Deacon S. M. Wright; Grand Master of the Universe or Pursuviant J. A. Monroe, and Grand Tyler Gus Brantley. The Craft assembled at the Union Masonic Temple, 3956 South State street and the Grand Lodge at the Masonic Progressive Club and marched to the church where a large crowd had gathered to witness the ceremonies. A splendid program was rendered. The stone was duly consecrated and laid according to the ancient customs, forms and usages of the Order. The weather was cloudy, never the less the enthusiastic appreciation for the great service previously rendered by their former pastor, Rev. Brother Heywood, now deceased, prompted the members and friends of Salem to throng the scene to witness the memorable event. A large collection was raised. The Craft marched back to Temple and was dismissed in due form. SOUTH GATE LODGE DONATES ..TO HOME. South Gate Lodge U. D. to be 101 F. & A. M., Chicago, Ill., under the leadership of the Commissioners Bro. Bail S. Christmon and Bro. H. L. Holmes, acting Master and Secy., respectively, donated $6.00 to the Grand Master to take candies, fruits and other incidentals to the inmates of the Home when he made his official visit and inspection recently. It is hoped that Season Cards will be sent the brethren and sisters for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They will appreciate them as a token of your true love and perpetual friendship. They are Brothers Beck, Lewis Rivers, McClain and Sister McClain. ST. THOMAS' LODGE WORKS Saint Thomas Lodge U. D. to be No. 104, Chicago, raised six candidates Saturday night. Nearly every lodge in the jurisdiction has designs on the board. Brother San- ford A. Lane past Master of Tyre Lodge No. 70, F. & A. M., Chicago, presented St. Thomas Lodge with an electric emblem at their last meeting. REV. GIBSON TO VISIT TYRE LODGE AFFAIR. Rev. Brother S. H. Gibson, pastor of the Baptist church and member of King Solomon Lodge No. 20, F. & A. M. Rock Island, Ill., will attend the social affair to be given by Tyre Lodge No. 70, F. & A. M. Chicago. He will probably remain in the cty a few days and will call to visit the Grand Master and Mrs. Samuels in their home at 5021 Indiana avenue. It is expected that Mrs. Gibson will accompany the pastor. A. PAYNE VISITS THE MASONIC HOME. Brother Alexander Payne, Grand Trustee, Cairo, Ill., visited the Home recently and says; "I am very much pleased with the Home and the surroundings and the conditions. Everything is being done for the comfort of those who live there. Seeing the many changes and improvements there now, speaks for itself; or rather in other words, means that the Head of this Great Order of ours has been at work." As seeing is believing, it is hoped that every lodge and department will send at least one representative to bring first hand information from the Home relative to the conditions after making a thorough personal investigation and inspection. Words cannot express it to one who has never been there since the present administration has been in power. C. W. CURTIS APPOINTED DEPU- TY GRAND MASTER. Brother C. W. Curtis, Springfield, Ill., has been appointed District Deputy Grand Master over the Central Lodge No. 3, F. & A. M., Springfield, St. John's Lodge No. 8, Jacksonville and all territory in Morgan, Scott, Sangamon, Christian, Green, Calhoun, MeCoupin and Montgomery counties. The Grand Master is revising the districts of the jurisdiction. The complete list of appointments will appear in these columns with their territory explained. FANNIE G. W. McDONALD, S. P. CAPT. APPOINTS SUPREME CUNCIL—IS APPOINTED NO- TARY. Mrs. Fannie G. W. McDonald, 3425 Lawton Ave., St. Louis, Mo., Supreme Princess Captain of the Heroines of the Templar Crusades has appointed a Supreme Royal Council of seven to advise with her for the highest possible development of the Order. They are Sir Knight Wm. H. Perry Luisville, Ky., Supreme Advisor; Sir Knight J. L. Easley, Tula, Okla., Supreme Assissant Royal Advisor; Sir Knight George W. McDonald, St. Louis, Mo., Supreme Royal Treasurer; Sir Knight Wm. G. Smith, Washington, D. C., Advisory; Princess Genevieve M. Reuben, 3734 S. State street, Chicago, Ill., Supreme Royal Secretary; Princess Pearl M. Dabney, Kansas City, Mo., Supreme Royal Chaplain. Its Purpose When Sir Robert McCoy founded the Adoptive Rites he provided for a Supreme Council and also a Grand Chapter that should have sovereign powers to govern and control the work and development of the Order. When a State forms a Grand Chapter it become sovereign within itself; but it has no direct authority to change or rectify the Ritual of the Order. However, those who are fortunate in possessing copies of the ld McCoy Eastern Star Queen of the South and Amaranth Ritual will note several important changes have been made, from time to time in the various revised editions. As that work is copyrighted it is probable that the Supreme Council of a select few consider those things which are progressive and important to the development of Order intellectually and fraternally as well as masonically and present the truth.

Now Expected to “Come Clean” to Save Itself in 1924. Associated Negro Press. Washington, Nov. 15.—It has happened! The election. The “I-told You-So” Society is now functioning in enthusiastic assemblage. Election returns tell a most interesting story. Political leaders in all sections are studying them religiously. The Associated Negro Press has carefully combed the entire field for unvarnished truth, and gives it to the people for what it is worth for information and guidance in future—to say nothing of present activities. The election reveals first of all that Colored voters took President Harding at his word, in his message at Birmingham, Ala., and divided their votes as never before. This is one of the amazing facts of the election. The votes were not divided because of the President’s suggestion, but in spite of it. Anti-Lynching Bill. 6. Measured interest of leaders in party organization program. Lily White Idea Murdered The Lily White idea of increasing Republican power in the Souh has been murdered in cold blood. The cynical Democratic South rises to laugh to scorn Republican efforts, and flings the banner: “Solid South” once more in the faces of the adherents of Abraham Lincoln. Tennessee went back to the Democrats and Texas, where hope sprang eternal, voted in their Ku Klux Senator, a Democrat. Virginia, the state of Bascom Slemp, originator of the new Lily White policy, after a score of years, returns to Congress, from the district where Slemp lives—he seeing the “handwriting on the wall,” and refusing to be crucified. Michigan defeating Senator Town- Throughout the entire North, Democrats made open and unqualified bids for Colored votes. In such states as Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia, Michigan, New Jersey, Delaware, New York and Massachusetts. Democratic organizations plead and labored for Colored votes, and got more of them than ever before. Republicans were advised of this tate of affairs, but in many cases, were either indifferent or refused to take the matter seriously. Specific Cases Democratic politicians played to the cause—party advantage—for the effect—votes and office. For example in Missouri, where thousands of Colored voted for Senator Reed, the wet and dry issue was used, and the same in New Jersey where other thousands voted for Governor Edwards, instead of Senator Frelinghuysen. In some other states, Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana, for example the Ku Klux Klan issue was used extensively, and effectively. Democrats "branded" Republican candidates with the appropriation of the Klux. Republicans waived aside Democratic strategy, and depended for the most part on tradition and luck. They failed in many important instances. "Discontent," is the general term used for the results. That is a good term: but the cause, so far as Colored voters are concerned, must be traced back to the beginning. Here are some: 1. Lily White policy of the South. 2. Reduction of representation in National Conventions. 3. Failure to make larger number of appointments and promotions. 4. Failure of Senate to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson. 5. Failure to finally pass the Dyer ed product to the public. Appointed Notary To expect the thousands of chapters to present their versions of the work for consideration would be too confusing, therefore a select council is absolutely necessary. There are always certain fundamental principles that are unchangable. These must be safeguarded in all copyrighted work, even in revisions. This council shall have the highest possible development of the work of the Order of the Heroines of the Templar Crusades to consider. Mrs. McDonald has just been appointed Notary Public for the County of St. Louis, Mo. Anti-Lynching Bill. 6. Measured interest of leaders in party organization program.

Michigan defeating Senator Townsend, Republican, and friend to all sends to the Senate former Governor Farris. "No berryism" was used as an issue, but the strategists also said that Gov. Farris is a friend of Colored people, and proceeded to prove it by the record. Indiana, state of vice-Presidents and all year-round politicians, voted to continue Albert J. Beveridge at home. Colored voters taking the stand that Beveridge, while protesting friendship now, failed to exercise much of it while Senator, and kicked the party traces in 1912. Some Telling Defeats At this writing, it appears that Congressman Layton of Delaware and Congressman Parker of New Jersey both of whom voted against the Dyer bill in the House of Representatives, will be permitted to think it over at home.

There is only one way to cure cartarrna deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

J. R. CURTIS, GRAND LODGE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER IN LEAD. Brother J. R. Curtis, one of the Commissioners appointed by the Grand Master to consider Fraternal Insurance for the Fraternity and also Senior Superintendent of District of the Public Life Insurance company lead the entire company of both white and colored agents in a recent contest by writing more than $100,000.00 worth of ordinary insurance. We are living in a great age, and a new epoch has come into the life of the race and the Fraternity. For more than three hundred years the white race has put special stress upon and themselves, which is an absolute assured protection for their families. and htemmselves. They have proven to the world that this effort is a success. Race District Leads The darker Races have for years been denied these splendid opportunities; but for the past few recent years doors have been slowly opened to them in this field. The American Negro has opened it partly by organizing Insurance Companies for himself. The Public Life Insurance Company is one of the companies that has thrown its doors open to our group. In its recent contest the Eighth District, with Mr. W. H. Montgomery captain of the colored district lead the other eleven districts. The companies advertisement will appear in these columns in a later edition, giving full details of the contest and the general work of the Company. Contiued from Page One Election was Death Blow to Lily- Whiteism made an out and out fight against these men. It is shown that Colored voters went largely to Senator Calder of New York and Senator France of Maryland, both of whom are for the Dyer bill, but the strong wave of Democratic sentiment brought about defeat of these statesmen. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican leader of the United State Senate, received a fine showing of Colored votes. It is believed on every hand that Senator Lodge will use every influence to have the Dyer bill acted upon at the Special session of Congress. In Illinois, the state went Republican, but the county of Cook, Chicago, went largely Democratic. Early election night reports threw a scare into the friends of Congressmen Madden and Mann, who represent districts largely inhabited by Colored voters, when it Negroes Win Their Point In Virginia Richmond Va Nov 15 — The independent color dicker made its fight in the State and won its objective, to complete anniliation of the Lillie Whites Hon Mat Lewis, candidate for U. S. Senator and the three congressional candidates all polled a respectable vot and as a result the Democrats for the first time in years carded every District in Virginia. Where there was no colored candidate the Negro voter supported the Democrat in an effort as the statement issued by Mr. Lewis said to assert our political freedom and do the best we can for our own interests and welfare " The four wards in Richmond gave Claude A. Swanson, Democrat 5266; McGarvock, 356; and Lewis, Independent, 167. In this District the colored vote went to Montague, Democpat, and he won over Ward by 5,000. Bascomb, Slemp's district the 9th, was carried by the Democrats for the first time in 12 years. Slemp's father having held it prior to his ascendency, Slemp, the leader of Lilly Whiteism, saw the handwriting on the wall and declined to run. Chairman Joseph G. Pollard expressed himself as immensely pleased with the result. He said: "Never before have the Negroes of Virginia had the courage to announce their political independence, and then take a position to have it known that they propose, in the future, to make their independene felt, in every State similar movements to this one in Virginia are taking shape, and what the Virginians have done will develop into an important force, and in the next presidential contest the Negro will be in splendid organization to demand their recognition., seemed that both might be defeated. Final results showed their election, but also showed that the Democrats polled thousands of votes among the Colored citizens. With the mayorality election on next, April, in Chicago, and Mayor Thompson announcing that he will again be a candidate if the people desire him, and the showing made by Democrats in Colored wards, there is consternation in Republican circles. In Ohio, Colored voters split the votes in the larger cities. The failure to elect Col. Thompson, as Governor, is regretted by Colored voters the defeat of Senator Pomerene and the election to the Senate of Congressman Fess, shows a division of Colored votes, some for each candidate. In Pennsylvania, Colored voters did some dividing, but Senators Pepper and Reed, were elected by large pluralities; while the defeat of Senator Sutherland of West Virginia is not attributed to deflection of Colored voters, but to local matters. Starting For 1924 Chastened by the election of 1922 Republicans throughout the nation have begun efforts for resuscitation in 1924. Their efforts will meet a newly militant Democratic party that neither knows nor gives quarter but it appears that the Republican leaders are determined to play "old time politics" and bring out the Rooseveltian "Square Deal" motto to be used from now on. The air will be rife with politics until after November 1924. Talk of a Third Party continues, but it is believed that olored voters will give ear to Republican pleadings if they "come clean" rather trust the Democrats for a President or a Third Party, in which there would become leadership of questionable sincerity.

Colored Voters Elect Southecrn Congressman Who Favored Dyer Bill Houston, Texas, Nov. 15. The only South in Congressman to vote for the Anti-Lynching bill was Congressman Wurzbach of the 14th district returned to office today after a hard battle. Wurzbach who is a Republican brought down the wrath of the white Democat and Republicans alike on him after he was reported to have addressed a colored meeting in Washington and termed his audience "lad es and gentlemen." The Democaatic candidate, Harry Hertzburgh stooped to every means to defeat him, addressing colored meetings and accusing Wurzbach of tricking a well, known colored woman who applied for a position The colored vote rallied to the Congressman and he admits his election to their support.

Concerning the breathing apparatus of the whale an eminent naturalist says: "The windpipe does not communicate with the mouth; a hole is, as it were, bored right through the back of the head." METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL notice of Change of Policy of this Paper, Regarding Writ-Ups, Etc. Notice is hereby given by the manager of this paper, that beginning with August 1st there will be a charge on all matter sent here for publication except purely news All papers, Obituaries, Programs Resolutions Essays, Sermons, Personal Write up, etc. There will be a charge of $100 for the above named for 15 lines and all articles containing more than 15 type lines 100 will be charged for every additional line. This does not apply to news of the churches We are compelled to do this for financial protection. Our more than 23 years of experience in the newspaper world has taught us that we have been giving away hundaeds of dollars annually paying for setting type for such things in which the general public is not interest d in, and most of the time the persons writing are not subscribers and not interested in and have no Race pride on Race Loyalty, they make long and loud speeches to the galleries, preach great sermons and write fine papers on patronizing Race enterprises and that is as far as it goes with them, as nine times out ten they give their job work what little they have, to other persons other than race papers and are withholding the support from the men who are fighting mob and lynch law and the many other inequalities and evils which contaminate the race fifty two weeks in the year, while these would be race lovers find excuses in giving their work to others claiming they are too high priced or the work is inferior to others, when at the same time these same papers that they refuse to let do theirs are doing work for Negroes who do not pose as Race leaders, and too, these same race papers are doing job work for some of best business firms and individuals of the white race. The papers are great so long as they boost this class of individuals for naught and let him help the fellow who does not need his financial assistance. There seems too much racial jealousy and envy among the majority of our great leaders and that accounts for slow progress along race enterprises. Therefore we have taken the matter under careful advisement and have concluded, to place a small charge on all matter except purely news. All Associational, Conventional matter, we expect the officers of the Bodies to take care of in a more systematic way hereafter at quarterly and annual meeting. Our experience at the meetings in the past forces us to make this request. No one who believes in a just compensation for honest work will object to this requirement. Johnsonville. Tenn. Mrs. M. J. McCrary, this will let you know I received the medicine, also your card.

The idea of imbedding small picks of silk in the paper of which bank notes are made was the means of reducing counterfeiting by 90 per cent. Page Thre TO THE COLORED PEOPLE- We wish to say to our people of Massac County, and the surrounding territory thereto. Having been solicited by a number of my people, also encouraged by some of my white friends who wish to see, and help secure employment for all returning soldiers, to enter the Undertaking business. I have finally decided to go into that business, with a view of serving my people, as well as having an employment, feeling that I can give them better service than members of the other race, though I am in friendly relation with all the other undertakers, and expect to retain that relationship throughout my business career I am perfectly qualified to give unexcelled service and will guarantee satisfaction. I was born and reared in Metropolis, on 9th and Pearl Sts. Educated in Metroplis Public Schools, graduating from Dunbar High School in 1912. I then entered the Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanatary Science and Embalming, Chicago, Illinois, from which I graduated August 14 1914, from which school I hold a Diploma. We will carry a small line of caskets only, at present, owing to the advance price on these goods, but we have arranged with a large undertaking establishment to furnish us with anything needed on short notice. We have a first class hearse at our command. Calls answered day or night; distance immaterial. We were in the U.

Three colored children Walter Adams, 4 years old; Richard Evans and Ruth Evans 3, were suffocated in a fire which started about 11 a.m. Tuesday of last week in St Louis, on the 2nd floor of the house at 510 South Ewing Ave. The children had been left alone in the building as Mrs. Magnolia Adams, mother of Walter Adams and aunt of the Evans children, was out to look for work. An older brother of the Evans children, was at school. No one was on the lower floor at the time, and it has not been determined how the fire started. A fire had been burning in a stove in the roomi where the children were. Firemen entering the building found the children's bodies, two on the floor and one lying on a bed. Their hands and faces showed some burns, but suffocation had been the cause of death. The bodies were taken to the Morgue.
