SILVER JUBILEE OF THE MISSOURI JURISDICTION, ORDER OF EASTERN STAR The twenty-fifth annual communi cation of the United Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, state Of Missouri and jurisdiction, convened at St. Louis on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd of July, celebrating their silver jubi lee. The sessions were held in the Ma sonic Temple. It was a magnificent assembly, numbering nearly a thou sand delegates and visitors, repre senting fifty-seven chapters, with greetings from almost every state in the Union, and so thorough and far reaching has the work become that when a greeting from faraway South Africa came it seemed as though an other mighty link in the gold chain of unitv in the race had been welded into place. Such an earnest, happy, courageous greeting, it beamed like a smile and felt like a hearty hand clasp coming across the ocean. The able and efficient manner in which the presiding officers, Mrs. Vic toria Clay Haley, Royal Grand Ma tron; Mr. George H. K. Love, Royal Grand Patron; Mrs. Lottie Gamble, Royal Grand Secretary; Mrs. Alma Clark, Royal Grand Treasurer, and other officers preserved order and handed the vast amount of Jmsiness showed how vigilantly had the year’s work been done. The numberless knotty and seem ingly unwieldly problems which arose were carefully and skilfully handled. Among the visitors were: Mr. Nel son Cruse of Kansas City, Royal Grand Master of the Masons; Mrs. Mary Talbert of Buffalo, Royal Grand Treasurer of New York jurisdiction; Mrs. Ida Young, Royal Grand Secre tary of Arkansas jurisdiction; Mrs. Adella Ross, Worthy Grand Matron of Rockport, 111., the Illinois jurisdic tion, and Mrs. Lucinda Day, the old est Royal Grand Matron, who was a member when Missouri withdrew from the Ohio jurisdiction in 1890, twenty-five years ago. The principal feature of the jubilee celebration was the exemplification of the three degrees of the Order of the Eastern Star by three different teams. The St. Louis team demon strated the Eastern Star degree in a highly creditable manner. The Kan sas City team demonstrated the de gree of the Amaranth in a beautiful and impressive style. The Queen of the South degree, presented by a team from St. Joseph, Omaha and Lincoln, was very classic. Mrs. Mag gie B. Ransom of Shaffer Chapter No. 82 took the part of the queen admir ably. Mrs. Kate Wilson of Omaha, Royal Grand Lecturer, deserves much credit for the success of the degree team work. On Wednesday evening, the 22nd, at the Coliseum, an excellent program was rendered, the main feature being the grand march, which was led by four aged United States army vet erans, followed by a guard of fifty five school children bearing the flag, and executing various different fig ures of the star in all its beauty. Miss Katherine White, one of St. Louis’ most efficient school teachers, won much praise by her excellent work in training these children. It seemed that truly “a little child shall lead them,’’ for it was a mighty army that followed; the hundreds of chap ter members and orders representing the entire Masonic family, and last, an escort, forming a star, intwined with colored ribbons, symbolic of the order, in the center of which the royal grand matron, Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, was escorted to her seat of honor. Right royally did St. Louis welcome her visitors. —Florence Riggs. A wonderful object-lesson in self help comes from Uganda, where some natives, under a native priest, built their own church, 300 of them walk ing 24 miles to carry back loads on their heads. So anxious are they to help each other that squads of Chris tians go to other villages to help build, and children support students in training for pupil teachers by mak ing mats and pottery, and growing cotton and coffee. It pays to advertise in The Monitor. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE HOLDS ANNUAL SESSION (Continued from first page.) to reports and recitals of business be ginnings and achievements. Among the speakers were W. F. Watkins of Montgomery, Ala.; S. G. Willis of Fredericksburg, Va.; R. O. Nizen of Elkton, Va., and Mrs. J. F. Weaver of Kansas City, Mo. The committee on resolutions creat ed some unfavorable comment by omitting the name of Mayor Curley of Boston from its resolution of thanks the omission being charged, it was al leged, to his refusal to bar the pre sentation of the photoplay, “The Birth of the Nation," from local theaters.

That lovers of justice and fair play like Jane Addams, Moorfield Storey, the Rev. Dr. Donald, rector of Trinity church, Boston: Rabbi Stephen T. Wise; Governor W. S. Hammond of Minnesota; Mrs. Carter Harrison, who said it was the most awful thing she had ever seen, and it would arouse racial feeling; and others had been most outspoken in their opposition. When these facts were laid before Mr. Butler, he said: “If it is a play of that kind Omaha doesn’t want it; certainly not in our Auditorium; and I’ll wire Mr. Franke not to book it and if it is already booked it will be cancelled.” The Monitor saw Mr. Butler again Tuesday morning and he told us that he had wired Mr. Franke, according to promise and had also written him. In talking with Commissioners Ku gel and Withnell Tuesday morning, they both expressed themselves as heartily in sympathy with Mr. But ler’s action and we are quite confident that this is the sentiment of all the commissioners.
