Father and Son
Both Are Leaders

When the Kenosha Masonic Temple
association was organized in 1908, and
the old Kenosha Temple was built,
Charles F. Cooper was made president
of the association. He was an. en-
thusiastic and progressive member
of Kenosha Lodge No. AZ, and his
hope and ambition was to see the
lodge grow and prosper, but his work
in behalf of the Temple association
was tragically ended by death in the
Ir6quois theater fire in Chicago in the
same year of the formation of the as
ISOLATION.
How peculiarly fitting it is that prac-
tically rs years later, his son, Ralph
Y. Cooper, should become president of
the Kenosha Masonic Temple associa-
ton at the time when it was in the
midst of a campaign for modern
rev home, and that he should still be
the association active head now when
that temple is completed and being
dedicated to Masonry.

Architectural
Design Carries
Out Civic Plan


Visiting Masons from over Wis
consin today will no doubt be i'm
pressed by the wonderful architec-
tural harmony of tbs new Masonic
Temple, the Gilbert M Simmons Ii
brary, the new Central high school
building and Kenosha county court
house. There is reason, for it is
all due to architectural planning.
When R. G. Schmidt & Co. Of
Chicago. was given the architectural
contract for the new temple, they
were instructed that the plans must
be in harmony and keeping with the
Simmons library,-which it faces, and
the plans were executed and sub
mitted only after careful study Of
design. It could not have been bet
ter done.
So it was in the case Of the new
high school and the courthouse.
When they were built, they were
designed with view to harmony in
keeping with city planning, and
taken collectively they ire all part
of a well-directed scheme of civic
beauty.

THREE DRIVES
TO RAISE FUNDS
First Campaign Conducted
Under Leadership Of
George S. Whyte.
TWO OTHERS FOLLOW

Not the least important of all the
work in connection with the campaign
attendant on the planning and cree.
ticn of the beautiful new temple, has
been the drive for the 100000 Of
funds: This work fell to a score OF
more of the members of the lodge, and
it was accomplished in three drives.
George S. Whyte was chairman OF
the finance committee when the first
drive for funds was inaugurated The
committee at that time appointed to
solicit subs criptions consisted of the
following members:
James w. Blair, John I. Chester, r.
Y. Cooper, A. R. Davies, Martin Gauss,
S E. Hawkes., J. Fred Johnson, Rus
sell H. Jones, r. H. Mahlstead, Frank
Marx, George Ridehome, Tom S. Scott,
Conrad Shearer, Fred w. Steinert, L.
L. Virgil, H. A. Yonk.
Reds and Blues Work.
A little later two teams-the Reds
and the Blues-were formed, with
George w. Anderson captain of the
Reds and r. H. Mahlstead captain of
the Blues. These teams did very eff
fective work, and were successful in
raising large sum of money.
The most successful solicitors at
this time were Lee Virgil and Dick
Mahlstead. These men labored hard
and faithfully and their efforts were
crowned with success.
Later in the campaign it became
necessary to make what is known as
the second drive for funds, and this
campaign was directed by Oscar H.
Theleen as chairman, with commit
tee composed of the following Masons
acting with him:
W.. j. Frost, A. B. Mccall, Dan o.
Head, C. H. Lockwood, Dick Mahl-
stead, Fred Palmgren, George Ride

Still a third financial campaign be-
came necessary, and George w. Ander-
son led it to success. The captains
of the various teams which put it
over were as follows:

tain; r. d. Mahlstead, captain for the
Chapter; w. A. Matzke, Council cap
tain; Frank Achen, Eastern Star cap
tain; John S. Coney, captain for the
Each captain selected a body of
workers. This was the final drive of
the campaign, and by long and pains
taking efforts, the desired goal was
finally attained.

all the degrees, and T. C. Dewey and
L. B. Emmons were initiated. In
August, 1860, the dispenSs,ion was
surrendered, and later the members
united with Kenosha Lodge.
Has Moved Many Times.
The lodge has pursued its fortunes
with varying success ever since. The
first meeting place was in the build.
ing known as 213-215 Main street. but
on Oct. Is, 1860, it was moved to the
Gottfredsen hall, 266 Main street.
Here it remained until 1890, when Il
moved back to the Maso hall at 21S-
215 Main street.
Finally in 1903 the Masonic Tenn
pie association was organized under
the leadership of Charles f. Cooper,
Johnson A. Jackson and Frederick C.
Hannahs. The old N. r. Allen home
stead was purchased for $4,000 and 4
was remodeled and fitted up at an ex-
pense of about $4,000 more. Bonds
were issued for $4,000 and the re-
mainder was raised by stock subscrip-
tons among members. The building
was completed and ready for occu-
pancy in January, 1905.
This building was sold to Park City
Lodge No. 103, 1. o. o. F., in 1919,
and the lodge moved to Simmons Me-
mortal Unitarian church building in
Jan. 2, 1920.

Some Splendid

In addition to the many splendid
money subscriptions throughout the
building of the temple, there have
been some valuable donations of

Build thou more stately mansions,
o my soul,
AS the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low yaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than
the last
Shut thee from heaven with q dome
more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine out-grown shell by life's
unresting sea!'"
ave are dedicating today a cathe-
dral that will make for character and
comradeship," declared Rev. George
R. Cady in his dedicatory address fol-
lowing.
s.This temple, in whose building
there has been inwrought the wisdom
to design it, the strength to uphold
these ponderous walls and the beauty
to adorn it, will be a continuous les
son to all discerning men that life
to be beautiful and lasting must be
built by the square, within the COM
passes of moderation and self-re-
straint, by the plumb line of right
eousness, with liberal use of the ce-
ment of brotherly love and affection.
at is fitting that this proud struc-
ture should impress all with its solid
ity and its beauty because Masons
have been cathedral buffers from the
far reaches of the centuries long past.
"Our Masonic forebears were not
guild Masons; they designed temples,
and from the dignity of their tasks
they drew lessons for life out of a
philosophy and symbolism that enrich
the world to this hour They were
the builders of the Gothic cathedrals,
the stateliest shrines of worship ever
designed. Froude said: THE Gothic
cathedral is perhaps on the Whole the
most magnificent creation which the
mind of man has yet thrown out of
ITSELF
"To the ancient builder the tools
he used, the very stones with which
he worked became sacred symbols, the
temple itself a vision of the House
of the Soul. impoverished heirs are
we if we fail to claim our heritage of
moral science born of Masonic drama,
philosophy and faith in the Great
Architect.
"The philosophy and symbolism of
our Masonry fail if this structure that
will house our secret ceremonies does
not teach US to be better men, truer
citizens, kinder in our social and fam
lily relationship"
