A MASTER MAS0N'S ADVICE TO
HIS SON

A nobleman of Brunswick,
Lower Saxony. raised his son to
the sublime degree of a Master
Mason, and in addition to the
formal charge he thus addressed
him:
Il congratulate you on your
admission into the most ancient,
and perhaps the most respectable
society in the universe. To you
the mysteries of Masonry are
about to be revealed. and so
bright sun never showed luster
on your eyes. In this moment.
when at this holy altar, do you
not shuddet at every crime and
have you not confidence in every
virtue? May this reflection in
spire you with noble sentiments;
may you be penetrated with re-
ligious adherence of every vice
that degrades human nature; and
may you feel the elevation OF
soul which scorns a dishonorable
action, and ever invites to the
pratice of piety and virtue.
These are the wishes of a father
and a brother conjoined. Of
you the greatest hopes are raised:
let not our expectations be de-
ceiyed. You are the son of
Mason who glories in the profess
ion; and for your zeal and attach
ment, your silence and good con-
duct. and your father has al
ready pledged his honor.
You are now, as a member of
this i;lustrious order, introduced
to a subject of new country,
whose extent is boundless. Pic
lures are open 10 your view,

series of transactions are record
ed, which the rude hand of time
can never erase. The obligations
which influenced the first Brutus
and Manilus to sacrifice the love
Of their country are not more sa-
cred than those which bind me
to support the honor and reputa-
ton of this venerable order.
This moment my son, you owe to
me second birth; should your
conduct in life correspond with
the principles of Masonry my
remaining years will pass away
with pleasure and satisfaction.
Observe the great example of
our ancient masters, persue our
history and our institutions.
The best. the most humane, the
bravest, the most civilized of
men have been our patrons.
Though the vulgar are strangers
to our works, the greatest genius
es have sprung from our order.
The most illustrious chracters on
earth have laid the foundation
of their most amiable qualities in
Masonry. The wisest of princes
Solomon, planned our institution
at raising a temple to the Eter-
nal and Supreme Ruler of the
Universe.
Swear, my son, that you will
be a true and q faithful Mason.
Know from this moment, that l
center the affection of q parent
in the name of a brother and a
friend. May your heart be sus-
ceptible Of love and esteem. and
may you burn with the same zeal
your brother posses. Convince
the world, by your alliance, you
are deserving our favors, and
never forget the ties which bind
you to honor to justice. View
not with indifference the exten.

but let universal benevolence re-
gulate YOUR conduct. Exert
your abilities in the service of
your king and your country, and
deem the knowledge you have
this day attained the happiest
acquisition of your life. Recall
to your memory the ceremony of
your imitation; learn to bride
your tongue and to govern your
passions; and ere long you will
have occasion to say, in becom-
ing Mason l truly became a

may prize. THE Freemason.

raised toward the close OF the
campaign and Mr.. Bryan was
given an opportunity to decline
make any pledges. The people
will learn after a while, what the
corporations have long known,
namely, that the power to appoint
United States judges is a far
reaching power. The people
agitate and congress legislates to
little effect so long as the
highest court in the land is in
sympathy with those who exploit
the public. The amendment
which the court makes by judi
cial construction is the very
amendment which Mr.. Taft sug-
gested in his Columbus speech
when he announced his candi-
dacy. and now the judges whom
he appointed have so voted as to
make it unnecessary to secure
the amendment by legislation.
Now let those, democrats and re-
publicans, who are opposed to
trusts. set to work to overcome
the decision by legislation. The
democratic plan will be found in
the following plank of the demo-
cratic platform of 1908:
"A private monopoly is inde-
feasible and intolerable; we there
fore favor the vigorous enforce
ment of the criminal law against
guilty trust magnates and offici-
ais, and demand the enactment
of such additional remedi 8 legis-
lation as may be necessary to
make it impossible for a private
monopoly to exist in the Uuited
States. Among the additional
remedies, we specify three:
First. a law preventing dupli-
cation of directors among COM
peting corporations; second, a
license system which will, with
out abridging the right of each
state to create corporations, or
its right to regulate as it will
foreign corporations doing bust
ness within its limits, make it
necessary for a manufacturing
or trading corporation engaged
in interstate commerce to take
out a federal license before il
shall be permitted to control as
much as Is per cent of the pro-
duct in which it deals, the license
to protect the public from water
ed stock and to prohibit the con-
troll by such corporation Of more
than so per cent of the total
amount of any product consumed
in the United States, and, third,
law compelling such licensed
corporations to sell to all pur-
chasers in all parts of the coun-
try on the same terms. after
making due allowances for cost
of transportation.

FRAUD CHARGE MADE !
AGAINST APP. GORMON
Gubernatorial Nominee of
Maryland Beset with De-
mands to Withdraw.
(National News Association)

WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.-Young
Arthur p. Gormon. son and namesake
of the late accomplished politician
who for SO many years dominated
Maryland politics, is having his trou-
bles. Although he apparently won the
nomination for governor OF Maryland
at the Democratic state primaries by
the narrow margin of one vote in the
delegate convention, his election has
been shown to be tainted with fraud
Governor Crothers, Democrat, has de
manded that Gormon withdraw from
the ticket or face a searching investi-
cation on the charges of fraud by a
special session OF the legislature.
Politicians say Gormon is certain to
be defeated if he continues in the race
in spite of the generally good outlook
for his party, because of the feeling
that he won by corruption. Gormon's
election would mean rehabilitation
of the old machine in Maryland Party

The senator understands that young
Gormon is after his seat in the u. S.
Senate.

NIGHT OF PANIC.

TRIPOLI. Sept, 29.-After a night of
panic, the Mohammedan population of
this city was stirred to a frenzy today
when dawn broke showing line of
fifteen Italian ships of war riding at
anchor in the harbor, their guns train
ed ON the city.
In few moments black volumes of
smoke began to roll up from the fun
nels, the anchors we're drawn up and
the battieships with their attendant
craft slowly and solplenly moved in
shore. The gun decks were cleared for
action and the crews at quarters

Hundreds of natives, among them
many Turkish soldiers with arms in
their hands, gathered upon the harbor
front. Yells of rage and curses against
the Italian government were hurled at
the fleet as it moved toward the quays.
Suddenly veering of the ships swept
majestically across the harbor within
gun range of the city and disappeared.
Soon after they again appeared and
this time they were so close to the
beaches that those standing on the
shore could easIly distinguish the

CONFLICTING REPORTS.

LONDON, Sept. 29.-Confusing re-
ports today only added to excitement
regarding possible war between Italy
and Turkey. Turkey is reported to be
making final effort to avert war by
appealing through diplomatic agen-
cies for Intervention by the powers in
Tripolian situation. From Malta came
unconf1rmed report that Italian troops
have already been landed at Tripoli. A
dispatch from Constantinople says
Turkey has decided to offer no resist

Later dispatches from Rome claim
ed that Turkey had virtually rejected
all of Italy's demands. These contra
dictory advices caused great confusion
here and the foreign Office and stock
exchange interests were anxiously
awaiting information as to the real
status of the crisis

EYE WAS PUNCTUREO
By Needle and Girl Nav
Lose Her Sight.

Helen Eubank, little eight year old
Fairview girl, had a most unfortun.
nate accident yesterday afternoon
while sewing with one of her play
mates at her home. While the children
We're playing, Helen Eubank was ac-
cidentally struck in the eye by a
needle which her playmate was hold
ing, and as consequence the little
girl may lose the sight of her eye.
Fern Caldwell, aged ten years, was
making doll clothes at Helen's resi-
dence, and one moment inadvertently
pushed out the hand holding the
needle. The point of the needle caught
Helen in the corner of the right eye
and the blood started streaming down
DIR. NJ. S. Bulla was summoned at
once, and was able to relieve the
child's suffering temporarily. He
found that the needle had punctured a
blood vessel, but he could not ascer-
tain whether the sight would be de-
stroyed.
A curious coincidence was that the
little girls father lost the use of one
eye in almost the same manner about
five years ago, when a needle in a
box of rubber bands, in which he had
placed his hand, flew up and struck
him in the eye.

ADMITTED KILLING
HER SISTER, ELSIE
Annie Crawford, New Or
leans Society Beauty,
Says 1t Was Accident.
(National News Association)


NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29.-'I will
trust in God. | am innocent l killed
Elsie by mistake
This was the passionate statement
made in her cell today by Miss Annie
Crawford, the pretty southern society
girl, who is charged with poisoning
her sister Elsie to get her life insur-
ance. The accused girl is developing
a religious mania the authorities de-
clare. Between sobs and muttered
outbursts she begs piteously for op-
ium and morphine. two drugs which,
according to the diItrict attorney, she
has used to excess. The authorities
have decided to abandon the charge
that Annie Crawford murdered her
father and mother and younger sister
Mary.
The police are working tirelessly in
pursuit of evidence against the girl.
They have discovered that after the
death of her father Walter Crawford
and her mother last summer, Annie
Went to the sexton of the ST. PatrL:k's s
cemetery and opened negotiations to
enlarge the family plot. She bought
additional ground, adjoining the Craw-
ford lot in the cemetery. The decis-
ion to abandon the charges that A~lnie
killed her father, mother and young
est sister came after medical experts
informed the prosecutor that it would
be impossible tc determine whether
the bodies held poison owing to the
long lapse of time. Mrs. Robert Craw-
ford, the aunt of the accused girl, told
district attorney Adams that Annie
insisted on nursing every member OF
the family who fell ill and that she
resented the intrusion of a trained
nurse in the household.
The girl is in an intensely nervous
state owing to her inability to get the
drugs to which she has been accustom-
ed so long. She was visited by the
Jail physician today, who prescribed
for her.
