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.

PREJUDICE-PROVOKING
PHOTOPLAY PROHIBITED
(Continued from first page.)
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.
