The BRAKES Put On.

Commenting on the action OF the
Mississippi Grand Lodge Of Ma
sons in notifying the Grand Lodge
Of New Jersey that ''the negro
should not, could not aud would not
be admitted to fellowship" the Me-
ndian Dispatch voices the senti-
ments Of The Commonwealth in the
following splendidly written edi-
torial
THE brakes we're put on in time
by the Mississippi grand lodge Of
Masons to avert a possible future
disaster to that great and powerful
organization.
When New Jersey was notified
that in the judgment of Mississippi
Masons the negro should not, could
not and would not be admitted to
fellowship, the way was blazed for
other southern states to follow.
And it is certain that they will
follow Mississippi's lead.
More than this, it is certain that
the warning conveyed by this ac-
ton will result in the Masonic
bodies OF the east and west being
more careful in the future.
The majority Of them, at least,
will respect the wishes of their
southern brethren and will black.
ball black applications in the future.
This leading off on the part Of
the Masons calls to mind the fact
that Mississippi always leads.
What a grand old state it is and
what priceless heritage it will hand
down to future generations, besides
the good of the present day and
time. Mississippi Masons were the
first to declare against negro mem,
bership. Mississippi was the first
state to throw off carpet bag rule
and restore the government to It's
rightful rulers.
1t was the first state to make a
constitution that practically elimi-
mated the negro vote.
1t was the first state to pass a
separate coach law.
In thus going so far toward a
solution of the race question, Mis-
has led all other southern
The genius Of her statesmen, who
nave placed the imprint of their pa
and devotion upon her con-
;titution and statutes, has lighted
he way for her sister states to fol-
With a firm hand, the Masons
ook hold of what might have be-
;ome a perplexing question and set
led it.
Proud old state; brave men and
rue patriots!'

Vice-Consul General Fuller, at Hong

hair were invoiced for shipment tc
the United States from that port last
year.
The year previous only 56,133

MONUMENT TO ADAM
MaryIander Erects One to Mem.
ory of First Man.
Declares He Was Hero Who Had His
Troubles In Eden-Thlnks II
High Time Pioneer Was
Honored.

Baltimore, Md.-Believing that 1t ia
better late than never, John p. Brady,
contractor and builder, has had
erected at his country house, Hickory
Grounds, near Gardenville, a monu.
ment to the memory of Adam, the
first man.
After spending much thought upon
designs for the monument, Mr.. Brady
came to the conclusion that nothing
could be more fitting than a plain
square shaft of concrete, surmounted
by sun dial.
Without saying that women will not
be admitted Mr.. Brady wishes the oc.
casion of the dedication to be distinct.
ly masculine He has no intention at
any time to erect a memorial to Eve.
The monument bears two opposite
panels, which read:
THIS. THE FIRST SHAFT
IN AMERICA,
is DEDICATED
TO ADAM. THE FIRST MAN
In circular form, surrounding the
sun dial is the Latin quotation:
Sic transit gloria mundi."
After all, there is no serious rea.
son why there should not have been
thousands of memorials to Adam"
said Mr.. Brady. Some of us may
blame him for the misfortunes which
we get in this world, but few of us
wish that we had not been brought
here. 1T was kind of Adam to appear
in the world. He paved the way and
should receive the homage which we
pay to pioneers in all fields. There
seems to be glory enough to go around
for every one who ever did anything,
and many monuments and other trib.
utes have honored men who never did
anything.
1t being so easy to get ones name
craven in stone, thought it was high
time that Adam had something to
show for having been here. Adam
had a pretty hard time of it. He was
something of a hero, after ALL Just

Dent used to canter on their hand

There is ample shed and barn room
to afford protection against winter
blasts, to say nothing of the barns
bulging with hay and grain.
The farm was owned by Col. Fred
erick Dent. father-in-law of President
u. s. Grant Up to the very day of
the emancipation act Col Dent owned
slaves, but the time came when the
old colonel called himself a Grant
man, and he died in the White House,
a guest of his ilustrious sonin-law,
during Grants second administration.
1t was in 1921 that Col. Fred Dent
came into possession of this farm.
There is still standing on it is block
house, constructed with portfolios,
used for the purpose, doubtless, of
resisting Indian attacks. The building
was constructed originally of stone

to Jefferson barracks young Dent
made him promise To call on his

at first sight After that meeting
there was no longer any doubt in the
minds of any one regarding the young
lieutenants choice And as the par
ents watched him ride away they
both were agreed that some day the
young man would be heard from.
Just before the outbreak of the
Mexican war. when his regiment was
ordered south into Louisiana, Grant
came galloping over the fields to the
Dent place to ask the question that no
one but Julia Dent could answer. The
dauntless young wooer had added
nothing to his personal charm by hav.

teeth of tempestuous storm of rain

from his words in the eyes of the
young woman he had come to woo.
