MASONS IN OKLAHOMA

Those who understand what real Masonry stands for know that no real Mason could tolerate the violation of our liquor laws either by others or himself. We have been anxiouslv looking to that great order to set the pace and to compel the enforcement of all laws, including the prohibition laws.
 The Grand Lodge of the A. F. and A. M. of Oklahoma at their seven teenth annual communication adopted a rule the substance of which is as follows:
 "All members of the Masonic Order who violate the national prohibition act by transporting, possessing or manufacturing liquor, shall be ex- pelled, and no candidate will be ac- cepted who buys or uses narcotics or intoxicants."
 In other words, this Grand Lodge recognizes and publishes the fact that wilful violation of our laws ,espe- cially against the use of intoxicants and narcotics is an un-Masonic act.
 If Masons will live up to their ob- legations, violation of the prohibition laws would cease AT ONCE. Let us get at it.
