Why not! 1t is the law of human

what we could, because we believe
Florida faces a crisis which rightly
met will make ours one of the fore

domination of the liquor interests
which threatens us will, if given

RokendauQua's Plan for Cele-

BY Lodges.
THE PLANS ARE IMMATURE.

The movement inaugurated by HO-
kendauuua Tribe of Red Men for a
Joint observance of a memorial day
by the lodge and secret organizations
of the city, has met with general fav-
or. All lodges have not responded to
the invitation and for this reason it
cannot be learned how many will join
in the movement 1t is not probable
the Masonic lodges will accept the in
vitation as the bylaws Of the order
prohibit public participation of Ma
sonic lodge in conjunction with any
other This will not bar members of
the order taking part as individuals.
The immature plans call for pro
cession on the day selected and its
probable destination will be Glen Mil
Ter park. Special provision will be
made so as to make the exc rcises gen
eral in their nature and no one organ
izatiOu will receive preference over
any other. II is likely that some well
known out of town speaker will be
secured for the purpose.
