Never in the history of Odd Eel i lowship in Arizona has such an im- pressive and notable occasion been observed as that of last Saturday night. when the fifticth anniversary of the founding of Arizona Lodge No. 1 was appropriately celebrated, i the past and the present being inter- locked with that fraternal warmth and zeal which time has not dimmed. The evening was open 10 the pub i lie. and the exercises were ot course outside the sphere of the fraternal rites. On behalf of the city, l.. ;. Clark delivered an address of wei come. which was responded to by J. D. Baker, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge. The presentation Of vet cran gold medal to \. \. Martord, of Phoenix. as a tribute to his loyal and faithful service as an Odd Tel low of fifty years, proved a happy and memorable event. Mir. Morford is one of the surviving first Grand Masters of the Grand Lodge, and he is again today in harness as m the long ago.
 Another pretty token in fraternal remembrance was the presentation to Mrs. Mary A. Zicglcr, of Tucson, Past President of the Rcbekah As scmblv of a beautiful gold badge, known as the Decoration of Chlvalry, which is seldom accorded any, and reflects the distinguished services of the recipient.
 After the literary exercises an un- usual and yet vivid scene prevailed, when Fred C. Moore, Past Grand Master of the local lodge, stepped forward with the satisfied mortgage in his hand, to typify the wiping away of the last obligation of Arizona No. 1. and when little Amelia Henry and Charley Sudcr held the same m thcir tiny hands the taper was lighted and the smoke barragc told the story that the debt had been wiped out. Inc historical address of Morris Gold water followed, and dancing held sway until midnight This conclud- ed one of the most memorable events in Odd Fellow circles ever known Tn Arizona. The two days to follow will be given over to lodge affairs Mr. Goldwater said in part:

 q told them they would have to 20 to the County Attorney and swear to complaint and that when the complaint was issued. they would have to get Justice of the Peace to issue the necessary papers"

constitutional American
Post Ofice in 1775," the fastest
letter time between New York and
Bultimore-there was no Wash

was carried by post riders on
horseback.
The average days Journey OF
the post rider was from 80 TO 80
miles in summer and considerably
less In winter. when Thomas JEFF
ferson became Secretary OF State
in the last decade Of the 18th
Century his plan for having post
riders cover 100 miles a day by
relays was pooh -poohed as i'm
possible.
In Franklin's time there were
five mails a week between New
York and Philadelphia. The first
stage OF the letters journey was
from New York to Perth Amboy,
y. j., by sloop across the bay;
thence it went IN saddlcbags to
the Quaker city. Mails south ~
that point were irregular.
So common was tho postmns-
ters' practice of reading all letters
passing through their hands that
Madison and jefferson exchanged

CHALLENGE TO FOES
OVER WAR INQUIRY
CONTINUED from First Page)

The purpose which 1t undoubtedly
expresses has been expressed again
and again q: various forms during
the present session and has always
seemed TO originate in a rooted dis
trust OF those who are at present in
charge OF the executive functions of
the Government
Those executive functions are very
clearly understood They have been
defined both by the Constitution and
doubt where the responsibility for
them lies or what the methods are by
which those 10 are responsible can
be held to>theF duty. Such activities
on the part OF the particular commit
tee Of the Senate as this resolution
would look forward 10. and would
constitute nothing less than, an at
tempt TO take over the conduct Of tho
war or at least so superlntend and
direct and participate in The executive
conduct OF It as 10 interfere in the
most serious way with the action OF
the constituted executive.
IL protest most earnestly against
the adoption OF any such action, and
shall hope that every Senator who
intends 70 support the present Ad-
nlnistration in the conduct OF tho
war will vote against 1t. These are
serious times and IL is absolutely
necessary that the lines should bo
clearly drawn between friends and
opponents
