which had, during many years, heaped
upon him as many honors as it could
even though not so many as he might
have desired.
The Old Guard was passing and in
its almost forced retirement there
was something really pathetic. The
younger set, represented by the bril-
liant young Pelham, Chinn and Jones,
were somewhat harsh even if justi-
fed in the rapid fire methods which
they adopted in bringing about a new
order of things. Nor was this all.
It was plain to be seen from the
very beginning of this session of the
Grand Lodge that even the Grand
Master, Robert o. Smith, was slated
to go. He was a man of fine scholar
ship, honest ideals and unapproach-
able Masonic principles. But he lack
ed the real powers of leadership and
was unskilled in the arts of fraternal
politics. Fault was found with his
manner of presiding, specifically that
he was weak and lacking in executive
ability, much of which was really ex-
aggerated for the actual purpose of
pushing forward the young Pelham,
who was at this time an idol among
those who were dissatisfied with the
old order of things.
Grand Master Smith evidently saw
the end coming and did not spend a
great deal of mental energy in COM
posing and delivering his annual ad-
dress. 1t was below his standard,
though still very readable and inspir-
ing. The floor leaders swarmed
around him with congratulations and
fine enconiums upon his great work
for the Craft, the picture somewhat
resembling a certain scene which
t~ranspired one time in the Roman sen
ate.
The Grand Master said that he was
not well and limited that the cares of
office were heavy upon him. No one
discouraged this idea, especially none
of the friends of Pelham.
One would have expected Chinn to
have come forward as the Man of the
Hour, but he was a man of exceedingly
modest manner, not inclined to push
himself and that was what the hour
required. Jones was much of the
same disposition.
1t was all Pelham. He had held the
office of Grand Secretary but one
year and had drawn around himself
a circle of admirers which ne we'll de-
served on account of his c|ongenial
manners, his attractive personality,
his high scholarship and his political
~sagacity.
At the election of Grand Officers
the records do not show that Grand
Master Smith was even offered to sue
coed himself. Everybody either got
out of the way or was pushed aside
for Joseph H. Pelham, who was elect
ed to the highest office with great
enthusiasm. VIM. II. Jones became
Grand Secretary in the same manner,
it being an honor which he richly de-
served and for which he was perfectly
fitted.
Grand Master Smith, in his annual
address had recommended that the
Grand Lodge should meet biennially
instead of annually, but his idea did
not prevail. After the excitement of
the second day he became seriously
i'll and was unable to attend to his re-
naming duties.
Pelham, even before he was in
stalled, indicated his policy by putting
through several resolutions having the
effect of changes in the administra-
tive department. In due time he was
installed into the office of Grand Mas

(As Dunbar Saw Hlml.


The word is writ that he who runs
may read.
What is the passing breath of earthly
fame?
But to snatch glory from the hands
of blame
That is to be, to live, to strive indeed
A poor Virginia cabin gave the seed
And fro mits dark and lowly door
there came
A peer of princes in the worlds &C
claim.
A master spirit for the nations need
Strong, silent, purposeful beyond his
kind,
The mark of rugged force on brow
and lip,
Straight on he goes, nor turns to look
behind
Where hot the hounds come bayine
at his hip
With one idea foremost in his mind
Like the keen prov of some onforg
ing ship.

A few weeks ago a number of ben
evolent persons secured permission
from the Board of Education to ex-
plot the Negro schools for the bene-
fit of charity. Since that time very
little has been done in the class-rooms
except to rehearse dancing and gym
nastic stunts for a big Convention
Hall affair to be given a week before
Christmas. At first it was understood
that the program should consist of
selections from the daily music, calls
themes and folk dances as practised
in the schools but the supervisors de-
cided to put on all new work and it
must be said to their credit that they
have given most diligent assistance
to the principals and teachers, all of
whom are working with great vim and
enthusiasm to properly carry out what
they understand to be the wishes of
the Board of Education.
1t is among the things possible that
the Board has been imposed upon,
for the loss of time from the regular
school work of pupils is entirely out
of proportion to the ends sought, that
of raising a fund of uncertain amount
for the benefit I a certain charity
scheme. 1t might have been a great
saving to the schools if the patrons
and teachers had been asked to raise
the fund by direct contribution. Many
would have preferred it to the plan
which throws all the schools into a
chaos Of disorder for n sixth of the
year..
The entertainment will be fine, do
doubt, and will draw a record crowd
of patrons, as it should. The only
question is, does it really pay in the
end?
