Capt. Frederick c. Wagner, who was
provost marshal for the district Of New
York in civil war days and in that ONCE
was influential in suppresslng the draft
riot of 1858, is the sole survivor OF those
who were first initiated as members OF
the Kane Lodge of Free Masons Of New
York City. There are still living tw0
charter members. He Is widely known to
Masonic fraternities throughout the
United States because of the work which
he did in establishing upon a firm fouI-
dation the Masonic Home at Utica, N. Y.
which is without superior among Masonic
homes In the United States.
l happened 20 ask Capt. Wagner how
and why Kane Lodge was thus namrd.
knew that its membership, passed and
present. numbered many Of the c)nspic-
rous men OF affairs and of the profess
sions OF New York City. I knew that the
wealth of the members OF the lodge was,
in the aggregate, very great. for 1t in
cluded in its membership some OF the
wealthiest citizens in New York.
THE lodge was named" said Capt.
Wagner, "in honor and in memory Of
DIR. Elisha Kent Kane, who, in the mid
ffties, gained worldwide renown because
Of his explorations in the arctic. He first
went into the arctic regions for the pur-
pose OF finding. II possible. some: trace
Of the expedition Of Sir John Franklin.
He did not go for the purpose Of locat
ing the north pole. as was commonly
thought. He discovered new land, to
which he gave the name Of his captain.

"Dr Kane headed a second expedition
to the arctic, and that occasioned almost
as much excitement and national inter
est as did the great politics Of the day
which centered around the organization
OF the Republican party.
"Dr Kane was a Free Mason, and ne
always took great interest in the order.
Just before he sailed upon lis second
expedition he was the guest Of large
number Of citizens of New York. Henry
Ward Beecher was invited to deliver an
address. and contributed one of his won
derful bursts Of oratory. DIR. Kane was
greatly affected and impressed by this
speech.
DIR. Kane learned after his return from
the second expedition how great the ad-
miration OF his Masonic brethren for him
was. He expressed bimself frequently as
having been greatly gratified by the many
testimonials OF friendship and admiration
he had received from members Of this
assembly.
shortly after DR.. Kane's death, in Ha-
vana, Cuba, a lodge of Masons was or
Ganized. and the suggestion that 1t be
The Washington herald., 1914-10-19

named in honor Of DR.. Kane was cor
daily welcomed.
Some time after the organization the
lodge received from DR.. Kane's executors
or administrators the American nag
which he had unfurled at the nisnest
point north reached by him. That nag
has since then been in the possession OF
the lodge and Is highly prized by the
members. for 1t II q visible memorial OF

The District Bar Association acted wisely in de-
Gliding not to make any recommendation to the Presi-
dent regarding the selection of justice of the ST.
preme Court of the District to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Justice Wright. There would
be nothing improper in such proceeding, though the
proposition to limit the number of names suggested
to three was open to objection for the reason that
with many men well equipped for the bench to
choose FROM the sending Of the names of but three
to the President would have the very undesirable
effect of proclaming them bar association candidates
The chief reason why the association is to be con-
graduated making Recommendation, however
is that it has doubtless saved itself from defeat
and the President from embarrassment 1t is no
secret that President Wilson long ago made up his
mind to place District Commissioner Siddons on the
bench, and while Attorney General McReynolds did
not recommend Mr.. Siddons' appointment, he has
found more favor IN the eyes of Attorney General
Gregory, Mr.. MeReynolds' successor The bar as
socstion could only fail in attempt to swerve the
President from his steadfsst purpose

Phiander c. Knox, former Secretary of State
and Senator, in speech in Philadelphia, referring to
President Wilson's Mexican policy, said: THE
Democrats prattle about peace, yet they have the
distinction of beginning upon fsmished and
distraught neighboring people" 1t is clear that the
Republicans not only willing, but eager to keep
the Mexican policy before the voters, and it must
be admitted that Mr. Knox's analysis of it is more
convincing than the Democratic slogan: "War in
the East! Peace in the West! Thank God for Will
