A MIssissIPPIAN's IDEA
OF FREE MASONRY.

Grand Master Martin of the Cau-
casion Masonic Grand Lodge of Mis-
sissippi, has assumed the tremendous
task of reforming the institution OF
Free Masonry. Grand Master Martin
recently discovered that the Caucasian
Grand Lodge of New Jersey had
among its subordinate lodges one Al
pha Lodge of New Jersey composed
of Afro-Americans. AS the Alpha
Lodge has existed for nearly cen
tury, intelligent Masons all over the
world know of its existence, but the
energetic Mississipian, who never
heard tell of such a thing before.
And it is fair to presume that his ig-
norance is sufficiently. comprehensive
to make him unaware of the fact that
the Grand Lodges of England, Scot
land, Irelan, France, Germany, Spain,
Italy, Hungary, Mexico, Brazil, Cuba,
Jamaica, Porto Rico, Peru and Argen-
tina are in the same attitude as that
of New Jersey.
