Home. located at Rock Island, Ill. Il
a reflection Of great credit 10 the fra
ternitys Many repairs have been made
during the past year and the Home is
in excellent condition. and no expense
has been spared in making it comfort
able and cheerful for the inmates.
Many of the lodges. especially those in
the First District, have given show
ersp for the Home from time to time,
and canned goods and other supplies
have beer received Visitors are al
ways welcomed and II i hoped that
many Of the brethren will visit the
Home during the summer months and
sse for themselves how conditions IRE.
Attention Is called to the fact that the
Home Tax i now due and lodges are
requested to send same to the Secre-
tary without further delay
The above statement is far from the
truth and this can easily be verified if
the Masons viii only visit the Home
in broad day light and they will have
no trouble in beholding the insanitary
condition Of the Home
In conclusion every Mason belong

and has the moral right to know just

This seems to bring US near the
point for which We have been aiming
at. 1t will Be recalled that near the
first Of March, 1924, all the colored
masons in Chicago. belonging to the
most worshipful Prime Hall Grand
Lodge Of Free and Accepted Masons
Of Illinois and its Jurisdiction, received
important notices from their various
worshipful masters commanding them
to assemble in their various lodge
rooms the second Sunday in March,
at one o'clock sharp, in-full masonic
uniform and join in the parade and
march to Greater Bethel A. N. Z.
Church, And street and Grand Blvd,
where they, the masons, would take
an active part in laying the new
cornerstone Of @Old Bethel

masons received their Official notice.

political money at the expense Of all
the colored masons residing in all
parts Of this city, and with that idea
6rmly impressed on their minds, many
masons refused or utterly failed to
turn out on that Sunday afternoon.
It was not hard to tell just which
way the political wind was blowing
On that cold and raw March Sunday
afternoon. And the few masons who
braved the snappy weather, while
standing around and watching the lay

stone, beheld two big nameless col

hands On their backs, waiting and ex-
pecting some easy Republican Or

hands. bossing the job. And while
those two nameless big eolored men

of the Georgia Bar Association as

"The arbitrary exercise by the ma

powers of taxation and regulation
can easily result in a taking from
those who it is thought have to
much and giving of it to those who
nave not enough, thereby establish
ing the balance contended for by
socialism," he said. The unlimired
and undestrained exertion of these
powers can easily result in the com

dominates as capitalism and mann

takes only from the few in order
that the many may spend is nothing
but socialism"
Agreement to recognize and
protect the right of private property,
was a fundamental part of the
principle of social compact" upon
which the government is founded
he declared. In the federal constitu-
ton, as originally framed, he point
cd out, there was no distinct words
employed regarding the right of the
United States to trespass upon the
'unalienable rights" of persons and
property, and so came very cary the
first ten amendments to the consti-
tuition. the fifth of which provides
that private property shall not be
taken for public use without just
compensation.
