Masonic body of Kansas on December
81, 1913, reached a total of 10. 460. An
increase of 1901 members was shown

port Of John A. Terrell, grand high
priest.
The worlds war. which came like
dreadful nightmare over the people
of our nation and state has passed
and during the year we have beer
slowly arousing ourselves and at
tempting to readjust our affairs to the
new and changed conditions with
which that great tragedy has sur.
rounded US, and in which it has left
, u.s." Terrell said in his report. THE
war is over in fact, if not in law, but
it will require years of toll and dill
gence to emancipate US from its awful
effects. 1t will require patriotic. cool.
headed leadership among our people
to stabilize affairs and to prevent
panicky conditions among the IN
trained and thoughtless masses"
The doctrine of class hatred Is be.
ing disseminated in such smooth hypo-
critical form that many are attracted
by it and become its advocates with.
out seeing where it will lead them
Terrell point out.
Hits Nom Partisan League.
1.-The Nonpartisan league, tho tht
most innocent appearing of the un.
democratic organizations" Terrell de-
clared, lis now known to be the lates
scheme of the BolsheYiki, the I. w
W., the radical socialist and the an
archist. Its great power and effec
tiveness lies in the ability of its pro
moters to hide its real aim and pur
pose, while at the same time, it de
! ceives US into believing that its, prin
! ciples are for our good. In this way
/ 1t is building UP the most dangerou
/ and far-reaching cIass-hatred that hal
ever been promulgated.
I'm this nation "a free, neighborly
/ democratic people," Terrell pointed
out, "our enemies are at work organ
izing us into a nation of classes
among whom hatred and strife alon'
prevail. An internal war of hatres
among classes of our people is ia,
more dangerous than war with |
foreign foe.
Sees End of Class Hatred Soon. Z
| when the clouds of hatred, selfish
| ness and anarchy which are now how
| ering over our beloved state and ma
ton, shall have cleared away (and
have confidence to believe that the,
will soon go)." Terrell declared, AM
the bright sun Of truth shall Shin
upon a fraternal liberty-loving an,
democratic people. may we not hav
been weighed in the balance AM
found wanting, may the Royal Graf
| of Kansas be found to have been 10
per cent American in our loyalty T.
our home, our state. our institutions
