dents.
Making w. II. Taft a Mason.

The quite unusual proceeding of maxi
ing William H. Taft "a Mason at sight"
by the Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of
Ohio at Cincinnati last week arouses
attention to the prominent part that
Masonry has always played in our his
tory. Many of our Presidents have
been Masons, as have been nearly all
of our prominent public men.
Masonry in its broadest sense is an
effort to bring together from time to
time and unite in common effort
right-feeling men of upright life, with
out regard to the church and political
lines which may separate them. II had
its real origin in this feeling. 1t was
originally organized from the skilled
workmen, who went from country to
country building the great cathedrals,
monasteries, hospitals and palaces
which ornament Europe. These men
spoke many different languages, owed
allegiance to many different countries
and believed in various religious creeds.
While not weakening the ties in any
way which bound them to their sepa-
rate countries, their political institu-
tions and their different churches,
common ground was established upon
the worship of God and the leading of
moral lives with entire fidelity to every
duty to one another, to family, church
Operative Masons," but the excellence
of the organization and it's aims and
purposes were such as at the earliest
times to attract into its membership
men eminent in learning, religion, poll
tics and science. In this way came in
large numbers of speculative Masons."
particularly in Germany, Holland and
Great Britain.
Free Masonry i'm America.
The colonists brought Masonry with
them to this country. AS early ass1733.l
or 13 years after the landing of the
Pilgrims, lodge was established in
Boston, and followed by the organiza-
tion of similar lodges in the other Col
onies. The tenets of the Order seemed
highly suited to the American charac-
ter from its large tolerance of religious
differences, its lofty humanity and its
devout, practical. everyday religion.
Consequently Masonry has hourished in
this country far more vigorously than
in any other.
The last statistics place the total

with membership ranging from 1894
in Arizona to 152,00S in New York.
Next to New York comes Illinois, with
1888 members; Pennsylvania, with
1928 members. and Ohio, with 68,6!9.
The Order Is steadily growing, with
gain in membership in 1908 of 5S,177.
The American Grand Lodges are in full
afiiliation with those of Canada, Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland, Cuba, Peru,
South Australia. New South Wales, Vic
toria. Germany and Austria but do not
affiliate nor correspond with the Ma
sons under the jurisdiction OF the Grand
Orient of France and other Latin coun-
tries of Europe.
"a Mason at Sight,
The prerogative of making a Mason
at sight is one inherent in the office of
the Grand Master of a Lodge. 1t con-
sists in administering the obligations
of all three degrees at the same time
without the customary requirement of
the ''entered apprentice" being required
to thoroly learn the work before the
degree of Fellow Craft is conferred up
on him, and in not being required to
thoroly learn that degree to the satis-
faction Of his Lodge before he is raised
to Master Mason. In making Mason
at sight all of the grips and passwords
are, of course. communicated to the
novitiate. While this power is inherent
IN the Office of Grand Master. it is used
with exceeding rarity and only on oc-
casions of great Importance. The only
time in the recent history of the Grand
Lodge Of the District Of Columbia that
