LOCAL CELEBRATION
OF THE RED MEN

There was but one theme at the cere-
monials of the Red Men last night
George Washington. In speech and in
song the great moral lessons to be learn
ed from the example Of Washington were
set forth in a manner at once patriotic
and forceful.
The ceremony consisted largely of a
specially prepared ritual that was render
ed by the officers of the local tribes in
regalia. Herman Gutstadt was master
of ceremonies, and in a few words intro
duced Grand Sachem F. b. Brandon, who
referred TO the growing extent of the in
fuence or Washington's work, not only
on this country but on the civilized world
He said that the true worth of the first
President Of this republic was never so
fully appreciated as II Is at the close Of
the century.
Senior Sycamore A. l.. Holden referred
to the great contrast between the new ma
ton founded by Washington and the ma
ton of to-day. 1t required years, he said
to convince many good patriots that
Washington's plan Of laying the founda-
ton OF this republic was the best that
could be created, but through the last
hundred years the respect OF not only his
nation-his nation-has grown for the
grand work of its founder, but all the
critics of the world have admitted that
Washington stands without a peer as the
founder of a new nation.
Miss Katie Gutstadt recited brakes
Address to the Flag" and all the audi
ence joined In the Battle Hymn of the
Republic" Others who took part in the
ritual were Junior Sycamore F. B. Swan,
