UPHOLDS MOB LAW.
Blease Again Breaks Out at the Gov
ernOrS' Conference.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 6.-Many women
in attendance on the governors confer
ence hurriedly left the hall when Gov
ernor Cole L. Blease, of South Carolina
for the second time defending his doc
trine of lynching negroes guilty of
criminal assault. without a trial, shout
ed the words:
ITO hell with the constitutions
This sentiment was in response to a
question by Governor Joseph N. Carey,
of Wyoming, who desired to know if
Governor Blease had not taken an oath
to uphold the constitution and laws of
his state, and if these laws did not
protect coIored men as well as white
men.
IT will answer that question" re-
piled the South Carolinan, "and I hope
the newspaper men will get it right, for
in my campaign in South Carolina they
found that I am a fighter-and a cold
blooded fighter. When the constitution
steps between me and the defense of
the virtue of the white women of my
state, I will resign my commission and
tear it up and throw it to the breezes.
AS have heretofore said, TO hell with
the constitution"
When women, some of them wives and
on hearing this, Governor Blease sub
sided.
Governor Albert w. Gilchrist, of
Florida, answered Governor Blease.
THE first thing he said. that in
dictates a manly man or a womanly
woman is thoughtful consideration for
other people"
Later, Governor John F. Shafroth, of
Colorado, referred to the lynch law doc
trine.
"One mob can do more injury to So
ciety,' he said, than twenty murders,
because a lynching permeates the en-
tire community and produces anarchy.
The influence of mob rule is most rep
rehensible. When laws are made it
should be the duty of a governor to
enforce them, whether he approves
them or not. When the law prescribes
hanging for an offense, and a man is
found guilty, he should be hanged,
whether white or black, and there is
no excuse for mob law. conceive it
to be our duty, as governors, to declare
for law and ORDER

In all probability the proposed Ma
sonic Temple in Topeka will be built
on the northwest corner of Tenth ave-
nue. and Harrison street. The prelim-
mary plans of the builders call for a
structure that will cost $250,O00 and
will be one of the finest local Masonic
homes in the west.
The Scottish Riters already have
arranged for the first $150,O00 of the
cost of building the Topeka temple.
The additional 100000 can be raised
in a short time is the assertion of the
enthusiastic Masons who have been
meeting regularly for the planning of
the new building.
The first action of the Masonic
bodies will be to sell the present tenn

for the new building fund.
Sell Quincy Street Property.
The Masons also will sell the pro-
perty at the corner of Eighth avenue
and Quincy street. This property runs
from the alley adjoining the Auditor
ium to the corner. 1t is a valuable
piece of land and will bring a good
sum for the temple fund. The lodges
in town have considerable available
money that will be used in the new
structure.
An effort also will be made to in
crease the membership of the Scottish
Rite from 1000 to 1000. The members
are taken only from among Masons
and it is figured that the membership
campaign should bring this many into
the fold in a short time. The member
ship fees alone would amount TO more
than $4,000.
When the building is completed the
Scottish Riters of the Topeka valley
will have the finest home of any valley
in the west At this time the Topeka
bodies have equipment, scenery, and
stage effects that cannot be eQuaIled
by any valley this size in the country.
With the new building the bodies will
be prepared to Guido any other or
ganization of it's kind.
The Scottish Riters of Topeka are
holding weekly meetings, organizing
their booster" material for the con-
struction Of the new temple. They are
aided by other Masonic lodges in the
city. The temple will house all the
lodges and Masonic organizations with
the exception of the state headquar-
ters under the secretaryship of A. K
Wilson, at the corner of Eighth ave-
nue. and Harrison street.
