Senator LaFollette has come and
gone, and he has left, no matter what
ones politics are, some food for
thought. He was billed to speak in
the Opera House, which was a great
mistake, for thousands who would
have gone, who @wanted to 60 and
hear him, remained at home, reallz-
ing that it would be impossible to
get into the building.
By o'clock, the Grand was filled,
while enough people anxious to hear
the senator, gathered in front of It
to fill 1t twice over, though he was
not supposed to arrive until 1880,
coming from the south on the 7:15
s, p, which, of course, having a
chance to inconvenience the greatest
number possible, was late.
AT Albany he spoke to 1000, at
Eugene the same number heard him,
the crowds being limited to the num-
ber the big armories would hold, and
at Corvallis, 5000 listened to his
powerful address, and there would
have been that many or more here,
had the speaking been from the
court house steps, as at first pro-
posed.
He was introduced by Governor
West, who in paying a fine tribute to
LaFOllette, and LaFollette's type, he

The occasion which brings us to-
gether today is unique in the annals
of Michigan Masonry. With solemn
and dignitied ceremony We have just
dedicated our new Masonic Home to
Masonry, 10 virtue, TO universal
benevolence, TO Masonry, that robust
institution whose talismanic name is
known and revered from the frozen
North to the sunny South, from the
Orient to the Occident. To virtue in
the ancient meaning of the word,
bravery valor, strength, power to be
and to do: that rugged quality which
enables us to prove the truth Of
Tennysons noble sentiment
For a man is not as Cod
But then most godlike,
Being most a man.
To universal beneYolence, as if to
curb our pride and TO teach our
hearts that achievements such as
this, great as they may seem TO us,
are but an intiinitessimal part of the
sum total of Masonic charity. With
solemn and dignified ceremony We
have just dedicated our new Masonic
Home We have dedicated it in the
name of the great Jehovah, accentu-
ating thus a basic principle Of our
ancient and honorable order, the
brotherhood of man in common
father We have dedicated ii Tin the
name of the Holy SITS, Johns, two
eminent patrons of Masonry: First
in the name Of St. John the baptized,
emphasizing thus the idea Of home

him who for long years dwelt in the
savage wilderness, the wild beasts
his companions, his roof tree the
vaulted ornament then, in the name
of st. John the evangelist, we'll known
and well-to-do, emphasizing thus the
idea of protective care as eXempli-
fled by his protective care OF his
Masters mother, after that Masters

We have dedicated it in the name
OF the whole paternity wheresoever
dispersed, in token that acts of char
