Although he made no new records,
Duke Kahanamoku demonstrated to a
crowd of over 1000 yesterday morning
in the Bishop slip that he is capable
of becoming a world s champion. Vim.
cent Genoves, who will be his swim
ming companion on the trip to the
mainland, gave an exhibition of what
he can do in long distances. The public
has never, since the aquatic meet of
last summer, doubted the abilities of
the two young swimmers, but their
work yesterday has served to inspire
even stronger confidence.
Duke swan the 100-yard distance in
81 2-5 seconds, just two seconds slower
than his time in the meet of last Aug
ust, and made the 50-yard distance in
20 seconds. His local A. A. U. record
is PALS seconds, which is also an UNI
accepted worlds record for both anna
tours and professionals.
In the half mile covered by Genoves,
he went the distance in 14:56 1-2. His
time of last August was 1896 As. AT
that time he did the mile in 1928 3-5,
after he had won first place in both
the quarter and the half.

No Smashing Expected.

Neither of the bows were exnecting
to break records Yesterday. They went
into the exhibition to show the public
that thew could swim. With tbis idea
in view, there is no doubt as to their
success.
Conditions under which Duke swan
were not bv anv means ideal and as
matter Of fact record time was al,
most impossible. To begin at the be-
ginning, the raft from which the start
was made afforded yielding surface,
lengthening the course by several
inches when he took his dive into the
water, and causing him to slightly spoil
his balance. In the second place the
start was about as bad as would be
possible under any circumstances The

Iy set aside to the purposes of

men ought to treat each other as
brothers; that this particular
body of men are under engage
ment with each other, to act the
part expected Of brothers by
blood who are good men.
This is the important thing.
It is no call for sentimentalitles.
It does not concern itself with
theories. 1t knows nothing OF
mysticisms and cares nothing for
fine spun contentious. Above all,
it is practical. 1t does nat mean
professions nor platitudes. 1t
means things to do. 1t involves
living a life Of practical forbear-
ance, of self control and Of USE
fulness. A Mason should, if he
understands his duty and his
right as such, be slow to anger,
quick to forgive. The considera-
ton Of mere difference Of honest
opinion should only go to the ex.
tent of causing him to reexamine
his own ground Of belief careful

The general effect of such
course of conduct cannot be cal

Therefore, this fraternity, whose
motto is peace and harmony"
whose actuating principles are
Liberty, equality: fraternity, :"
whose most precious jewels are
Friendship, morality and broth.
eriy love" in the name of its
own patron saints, sets aside and
consecrates its meeting place to
the teaching and practice Of
Virtue.
And the man whose life is in
deliberate departure from that
high ideal, has no proper place
here. No discipline is pleasant,
either to him who endures or to
those who scientiously admin
listers it, but at times it becomes
necessary in these sacred re-
treats of fraternity and morality,
that the erring brother come to
receive correction; that the will
fully unworthy. come for the last
time, to hear his sentence Of ex-
pulsion. Masonry has too seri.
Gus a purpose in the world to
carry any handicap in its own
body. Let the reproved brother
take his reproof as his sacred
right, his high privilege, and
mend his ways. Let the body
rid itself Of the wilfully unwor-
thy, as soon as they are found 50
to be. Remember that the fra
ternity cannot serve the welfare
OF the community; cannot fulfill
its purpose in the world, unless
it be kept clean in itself.
Finally, in the name of the fra.
ternity, the Lodge was dedicated
to universal benevolence. To
Iameliorate and relieve the dis.
tress and suffering caused BY
conditions that will disappear
when the ultimate aim of the
order is accomplished.
Long ago, Masonry realized
that the worlds welfare depend!

a.a II great church building in
Elrope, commonly known as the
Middle Ages" We know that
in Germany and England these
gradually widened the scope of
their membership by admitting
persons who were not actual
builders and that this process,
which can be traced with some
degree Of probability from about
the beginning Of the tenth centu-
ry of the Christian Era, had gone
so far by the early years OF the
eighteenth century, that the
four then called Ancient
Lodges" of England formed the
Grand Lodged Of England in June
of the year lit, at which time,
the organization had become
purely speculative and symbol
cal in its teachings and philoso-
ply, while retaining in its or
ganic law much that properly
applies to the operations Of bodies
of men organized for the con-
struction of buildings. It is a
significant fact that those ancient
rules still form the basis Of
Masonic law and are printed in
our books of constitutions.
Today, in your presence a
building has been dedicated with
the old ceremony of the frater-
nifty, which will be used by the
lodge located in this city as its
meeting place. ! think a suffi.
cient answer is made to those
persons who, in common par.
lance, are opposed to Masonry,
that for centuries, Masonic
lodges have met, in secret, usual
ly at night. with no resulting
harm to the communities il
which these meetings have occur
red. Had any evil purpose beer
followed, or had there been en-
tire lack of definite purpose
even, the safety of society lon,
since would have demanded tina
these secret night gathering
cease.
Some light falls upon the mat
ter from the very ceremony yo
have just witnessed. Tnrice ha
this lodge been dedicated. First
in the name of the Great Jehovah
it has been dedicated to Free
masonry. Freemasonry toda
