Address Of Welcome

Right Eminent, Grand Commander,
Ladies and Sir Knights:
Your representatives have made a
departure from custom, else, /, a
layman, should not have had the
pleasant duty of saying these words
to our visitors this morning; usually
Brother Knight has thus been
complimented. Disregarding the per-
sonal element for myself, it seems no
less than appropriate that another
than Brother should voice the SEN
timents of welcome which are con-
veyed to you by every sight and
sound that meets your eyes and falls
upon your ears this morning within
this little city.
For a Brother to welcome you here

early in the eighteenth century, and
to the first regular lodge established
in this country not many years later.
Masonic history, as we outlanders
see it, is entangled with tradition
and goes far into the mists of dis
tant bygone centuries; some claim
for the Order an antiquity far more
remote than the fifteenth or even
the fourteenth century.
But what matters it whether
Moses frequently marshalled the
Israelites into a grand and general
lodge during their wanderings in
the wilderness; whether King Solo
mon was master Of the lodge at Jer-
usalem, or, indeed whether there was
any lodge at Jerusalem; whether this
Ancient and Honorable Order is five
hundred or five thousand years old?
BY their fruits We shall know them,
and by her fruits Freemasonry has
established beyond cavil her right to
the distinction which this high and
noble title implies.
In days of old when knights were
bold the Knights Templar bade fare
well to his family, his friends and
his estate and Jared forth to meet
with spear and sword and battle
axe the hated infidel, the unbelieving
dog; he endured hunger and thirst
amidst burning desert sands, he hid
in caves among reptiles and vermin;
he bore torture and taunt from cap
tor and captive, and we cannot find
words to express even feebly our ad-
miration of his courage and forti-
tude.
Yet I say to you today that the
time of true knighthood has not ex-
pired; the times have changed; the
needs have varied; new methods
have replaced old; yet, as in all
things, principles are the same they
were when the Supreme Architect
of the Universe set this old earth
into the groove in which His hand
still holds her.
The Freemason is under vows to
protect the widow, to cherish the or
phan, to defend womankind; there
NAV be, no doubt there are, many
other VOWS; there are many com
mandments in holy writ, but to my
understanding the Great Interpreter
of Life and Scripture summarized
them all into two:
The first. "Thou shalt love thy
God with all thy heart, mind, soul
and strength; and the second which
He said was like unto it, "Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." ="
So this simple outline which have
ignorantly made of the obligations
which you lay upon the hearts OF
your Knights shows that knighthood
requires of them the fullest support
of all those things which makes for
the welfare, the hest interest
throughout unending life, not only
of themselves and their brethren in
the Order, but of all mankind.
That Knight, who caring naught
for applause and less for criticism
meets every issue upon its merits
encounters opposition where neces-
sary for the sake of truth and right
holds ever to his ideal of life an6
conduct, no matter how bushes;
conditions change, how thrones an(
empires crumble, rise and fall, ex-
emplifies true knighthood and keeps
hrs oath with a courage more won
derful, a fortitude more Godlike
than were his who turned his bacl
on all that men of lesser creeds helt
dearest and rode to meet the Sara
cen in distant lands.

TAFT MAY Get 1T
Washington DOpesters Figure
on Successor for White.
Harding Far From Decision on
New Chief Justice.

Washington, May 19.-The choice
of successor to Edward Douglass
White as chief justice of the United
states was one of the most widely dis
cussed subjects today in official circles
Of the capital Altho the speculation
conferred chiefly about the name of
former President William Howard
Taft, there were many indications that
President Harding was far from a de-
cision and might find the selection a
difficult one.
One of the first suggestions to come
to the surface in private discussions of
the subject among members of the
senate, which must confirm the nomf-
nation, was that Mr.. Taft had dis
qualified himself by insisting when he
was chief executive that no man over
60 years old ever should be appointed
to the highest court
All indications pointed to consider
able delay in making the appointment.
The general impression was that moth
ing would be done prior to the recon-
vening of the court after its summer
recess which begins June 8.
Mr.. Taft is known to have been long
under consideration by President
Harding as possible chief Justice
The former president several times
has publicly declared that one of his
great regrets was that fortune had
cast his service in the executive and
not the judicial branch of the govern
ment, and many of his friends already
have started to bring influence to bear
to have him appointed to the vacant
chief justiceship.
Another whose name has been
linked with the highest judicial post
is Secretary Hughes of the state de-
partment. member of the court until
he retired in 1916 to accept the Re-
publican nomination for the presf-
dency. Since Mr.. Hughes's selection
for the secretary of state portfolio. a
story has persisted that he might be-
come head of the court in case of a
vacancy. but there never has been any
tangible evidence that President Hard
ing intended to appoint him.

During the last two years Governor
Allen pointed out. the revenue from

distributed among the fifteen or
twenty inspectors employed in the de-
partment. He points out that the
fund was used to build a stronger de-

gain.

TO BUILD PLANT OF STONE
City Commission Tnkes Action Re-
gartling Waterworks Structure.


The filtration plant to be added to
the city waterworks will be con-
structed of SiIyerdale cut stone, or
stone of equal quality, according to a
decision of the city commission this
morning. A. c. Dunlap, engineer for
the Unit Construction company to
which the contract was awarded. was
instructed by the commiss' on to make
arrangements for the purchase of
stone for the building
The Sargent Cut Stone company OF
Topeka probably Will furnish the stone
for the plant. The approximate cost
of the stone will be S26.0e0.
The decision to build the plant of
stone came after lengthy consideration
by the commission as to whether stone
or brick was preferable. The asset
the brick dealers had to offer was the
fact that brick was several thousand
dollars cheaper than stone In order
to build the plant of brick. the speci-
fications as drawn by Black and
Veateh would have had to be redrawn.
THE city engineer estimated that
the use of brick in the building would
save not more than $4,000" Wilbur A.
Stanfield. city water commissioner.
said today Fifty per cent of the ma
teriaI would have to be a stone. even
tho brick were used in the other part.
Re-drawing of the plans would cost
about $1,000 For architectural rea-
sons and for the harmonious appear
anoe, stone seems essential. as the old
waterworks buildings are OF stone.
Topeka is a seventy million dollar city
and is able to afford TO make its plant
what it should be in every way. Peo-
pie judge the town by what they see
of its civic institutions"
The Unit Construction company of
st. Louis contracted to built the fill
tration plant in six months for S221.-

mated to cover the cost of the outer
walls.
