ton Was Elaborate Affair."
Many Visitors Come TO
Columbus for Occasion.

A century of honorable history; a
hundred years of progress and ach-
ievement; ten decades of helpfulness
and service; this is something Of
which any man or any body of men,
even commonwealth or country
might well feel proud.
Such is the admirable record made
by Columbus Lodge, No, 5, Free and
Accepted Masons.
Organized on January q, 1921, the
lodge was enabled the past week to
celebrate its centennial This was
done IN a manner we'll worthy Of the
Importance of the event, under the
able supervision of Hon. B. A. Lin
coin, Worshipful Master Of the Lodge.
To make the occasion all the more
enjoyable to Masons, the Rev. Will
liam McDougall, d. D., was invited to
come from New Orleans TO deliver
the principal address. The Rev.
Mr.. McDougall, a native Of Scotland,
and a Presbyterian minister, has
made a close and exhaustive study
of the principles of Freemasonry and
speaks as one having knowledge of
the subject. ii, gssE
The lodge was opened in ample
form by the Worshipful Master, af-
ter which the hymn, 20 God, Our
Help in Ages Past" was sung. This
was followed by an invocation by Mr..
Simon Loeb, one Of the oldest mem
hers Of the lodge. Next the Litany
was read by the Rev. Jesse c. Rowan,
pastor Of the Presbyterian church.
At the conclusion Of the Litany, the
u Nh PAalnsemas fcs.laby' the Rev.
r. s. Gavin, pastor Of the Baptist
church. The Senior Warden Of the
lodge, Hon. I. w. Lewis, Jr., then
read the first lesson, Chron. CLIO,
at the conclusion of which the hymn,
"Our Fathers God to Thee" was
sung.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. T.
f. Gregory, pastor Of the Central
Methodist church, after which the
Junior Warden Of the lodge, the Rev.
f. Lucien Malone, read the second
lesson, 2 Chron. 2:1-9. Then all
joined in singing "All People that on
Earth Do Well"
The printed programs called for an
address from the Senior Past Master
of the lodge, Hen. G. l.. Lincoln,
but Colonel Lincoln was i'll and not
able to be present, SO his son, Hon.
B. A. Lincoln, spoke in his place. The
Worshipful Master made splendid
address, referring with feeling to
4 the matter that rests close to the
hearts Of all-true and loyal Masons.
He expressed regret that his father
could not be present, and alluded with
pride and gratitude to the fact that
his father had made or him an En-
tered Apprentice, passed him to the
degree of Fellowcraft, and raised him
to the sublime degree of Master

that. since AL JENNINGS put up his

The surprising feature Of this is
that, although the total tax revenue
for nine months is only 63 per cent.
of the expected yield for the year, the
budget already has balanced itself,
and as the last quarter is always one
Of heavy tax receipts 1t Is confidently
expected that the full 1924 ,0OO, 900
surplus and perhaps more will be
realized. To the Chancellor and to
the administration with which lie IS
connected goes the glory Of this
achievement. But the savings were
not made for glory alone They were
made because n definite responsibility
had been fixed and because there was
a means of checking up results with
promises.
Under our wasteful, hydraheaded
system of raising and spending money
there Is no definite, central RESPONSE
bility for squandering the public's
money. and nobody gets any glory for
saving r. Consequently and naturally
1t Is not saved on anything like the
scale II might be.

Consequently We may reasonably ex'
pect that we shall have no menace
of typhus in New York.
But this is not all. Even IL, through
official incompetence and neglect. OF
by accident, few sufferers from
typhus should land here there would
be no cause for real alarm. The De-
partment of Health under its practi
cally unlimited powers would take
the situation In hand Immediately
isolate the victims Of the disease and
take the necessary steps to observe
those with whom they had been in
contact. The generally excellent state
OF health In the city, the fact that
New York is clean and the willing.
ness of Its people to comply with off,
cial regulations for their own benefit
would prevent the fever from obtain
ing foothold here.
We have nothing to fear from ty-
phus. and persons who try to make
a sensation out of it's appearance
from overseas should be silenced be-
fore they have chance to frighten
even the most timid.

farmers who have not given the breed

They pay little heed to the feeding

In either essential they find fault with
what should be one Of their most prof

National Election Completed.

The election Of WARREN G. HAIR
DING as President of the United States
and of CALVIN COOLIDGE as Vice-Pres-
ident was officially declared on
Wednesday before a joint session Of
the Senate and House of Representa-
lives at Washington. The event barely
won moderate headline on an inside
page Of yesterdays newspapers. The
only emotion aroused in the average
reader was of mild surprise. Many
persons thought the election was over
long ago.
Such tame announcement and cool
reception of so important piece Of
news was not In any way due to in
difference or undervaluation. 1t was
a manifestation Of confidence in the
institutions OF the country and the
honor and good faith in public life
which guarantee their sure operation
according TO the recorded will of the
people.
The formalities of the election were
only begun with the popular vote for
members of the electoral colleges in
the several States on November 2 Of
last year. But when that vote was
cast every citizen knew that its re-
suit was sacred thing. as absolute
as the Constitution itself. and that
all the proceedings which were 10 fol-
low were mere details, essential to
formal establishment of the result but
altogether without any kind Of infiu-
ence upon II.
Once again the American funda-
mental law and American reverence
for It are exhibited as the supreme
good of free. self-goyernlng people.

Another West Side.
Changes Brought About by Thirty
Busy Years In New York.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Probably
no part of New York has seen greater
changes In the last thirty years than the
section between Fourteenth street and
Forty-second street, west OF Broadway.
My father kept pie bakery at 55S
West Thirty-sixth street, and II used
to be my greatest pleasure as a boy to
go over his routes. Among the famous
landmarks in this section which have
been supplanted by modern structures
were the Fifth Avenue Hotel. at Broad
way and Twenty-third street; the Hoff-
man House, at Twenty-flfth street and
Broadway; Delmonlco's. on the opposite
side of Broadway; the Metropolc. at
Forty-second street and Broadway. and
Jim Corbett's famous oasis. at Sixth
avenue and Thirty-third street.
What is now known as the Pennsyl-
vania zone was formerly a nice resi-
dentiai section. The nelghborfood Of
Fourteenth street and Sixth avenue
was then the shopping centre. Among
the leading theatres OF the early '90s
were Palmer's. Daly's and the Bijou. in
the neighborhood OF Thirtieth street and
Broadway the Standard. at Sixth ave-
nue and Thirty-third street: Roster &
Bial's Music Hall and Proctor's. in West
Twenty-third street; Worth's Museum,
at Sixth avenue and Thirtieth street |;
the Grand Opera House, at Eighth ave-
nue. and Twenty-third street; Harri-
gan's, IN West Thirty-fifth street, and
the Casino and Broadway. at Thirty
ninth and Forty-irst streets respectively
on Broadway.
Excursion boats used TO ply between
the Th.rty-hfth street pier and Fort Lee,
where stage coaches were In waiting TO
take the horse racing fraternity TO the
old Gutenberg racetrack. then in its

Admiral Mahan's Belief.
He Was Confident Of Germany's De-
feat, His Daughter Saws.

To THE New YORK HERALD: I have
read with interest Mr.. McCormIck's dis
eliminating review In your paper of
January 30 OF Carlisle Taylor's life OF
my father. Admiral Mahan. There Is
one error in the book which / wish to
correct. especially since Mr.. Mccormick
and the English reviewers also have
happened to make particular mention
OF It. Mr.. Taylor says:
There IS ample evidence that In the last
few months OF his life Admiral Mahan
suffered acute mental distress about the
war and the part he had played--although
entirely unpremeditated-in stimulating
the growth OF the German navy thereby
contributing TO make possible the crime OF
August. 1914. with It's appalling menace 10
his own country. This anxiety doubtless
reacted upon his powers OF physical re-
s,stance and tended to hasten his end.
We do not know where Mr.. Taylor
gained this impression certainly not
from any member Of my fathers fmme-
date family, for none Of us saw any
evidence OF such a state OF mind. On
the contrary. my fathers calm conf
dence in the ultimate victory Of the AL
lies never wavered. In spite Of the con-
stant pressure on his mind from with
out and the rapid decline Of his physical
vigor when the first excitement wore
off. In his letter OF October IA. 1914. to
his English publisher. Mr. Marston.
quoted on page 2s3 OF Mr.. Tayior's
book. my father says:
As regards the inactivity OF the Ger
man main fleet. II In to be remembered
that Il is numerically much inferior. In
an article written for one OF our week.
lies early In the war gave the opinion
that the Germans would first Try 10 re-
duce the margin against them by tor
pedo attacks, and possibly by a!rsh!ps,
and have been accordingly surprised
that more has been attempted In the
two months intervening.
I give only one paragraph. but the
whole letter evidences the state OF mind
with which he lived, and which kept
US free from dread not only at the
time but the memory of which kept our
faith In the ultimate result unshaken
to the end.
Before Mr.. Taylor left this country
we thought It was understood that the
chapters on my fathers more Intimate
side, then still unwritten. we're to be
sent US for our approval before publica-
ton. but for some reason this was never
done.
We would be grateful II THE NEW
YORK HERALD would help US to cor
rect the erroneous impression created
by one who never knew my father.
