THE BOUND TABLE
In this day, the Negro being the
subject of much curious inquiry, it be
hooves us to be well acquainted with
ur history as a developing group in
he civic life of this country. From
bject poverty to the possessor of
-uid, homes and financial institutions
e we. It is in the spirit of spread
•g the “light.” among Negro Masonj,
■at they may know from whence
’ ey ca'me. The object, then, of this
cries of papers is to let our craft
now that they are as legitimate in
i^iu as any other group of crafts
men.
i proceed to quote freely from the
• itings of Brother Harry A. Wil
amson, deputy grand master of the
and lodge, state of New Yoik, Free
ud Accepted Masons (Prince Hall).
is to Brother Williamson that we
.re indebted for much of the histori
.1 data that we have quoted.
That Prince Hall, also the grand
,idge which he organized with the as
jistance of his i brethren, were duly
ecognlzed by the parent body of Free
■ asons of the world, is corroborated
a the following clipping credited to
he American Free Mason of April 18.
!869, and taken from the book of con
tltutions of the grand lodge of Prince
.all Masons of Tennessee, page 24,
issue of 1907:
“On the call for papers by a com -1
ission of the grand lodge of Massa
husetts, it has been proven that
Prince Hall was duly appointed pro
incial grand master for lodges of
ilack men in America, by exactly thi
lame English grand lodge which ap
minted Henry Price, sixty years pre
viously, a provincial grand master for
odges of white men in America; and
hat he was corresponded with by the
luthorities of such English grand
lodges and recognized in that official
apacity as long as was any other
English-appointed grand master for
iny portion of the United tales."
Under date of August 20, 1792, Wil
liam White, gland secretary of the
..rand lodge of England, addressed n
letter to Prince Hall. The following
paragraph, copied from “Upton’s Ne
;ro Masonry,’’ page 212, belongs to
said letter: “When you next write to
me, I should be obliged to you if you
let me know if the lodges in the en
closed list, which were constituted by
the grand lodge of England, are yet
in being, as we have never heaidj
from them since the commencement
of the late war in America, or indeed,
long before; and in case they have
ceased to meet, which I rather appre
hend, they ought to be erased from
.ur list of lodges.”
The lodges referred to in this list
vere lodge 2, lodge 42 and lodge 88,
all in the vicinity of Boston: Marble-!
;ead lodge 91, lodge 93 at New Haven,
,'onn., and a lodge 142, location not
given.
Another objection against the rec
ignition of the Prince Hail organiza
tions, or the admission of black men
nto the lodges of the whites, and one
A’hich many deem to be the crux of
he whole matter, is the consequent
social intermingling among the lodge
uembers, particularly the possibility
if black members coming into con
act with the wives arid daughters of
ieir white brethren at the various
.dal functions. In some of the
Prince Hall lodges in the state of
Yew York there are white members.
)oes any one suppose the black mem
bers have no reason to fear the effect
f social contact of their "families and
heir white brethren?
It is impossible to discuss this fea
ture within a limited space, hence I
eserve for our next pen-chat quota
ons from the state of Washington
or 1897.
In closing this lengthy article, I i
in reminded of the anti-Japanese
egigiation and agitation that is so
crlous on the Pacific coast. On my
iesk and at my elbow there lies a
•opy of Business Chronicle, published !
n Seattle. Wash. A journal that
peaks out against racial discrimlna- j
ii b. There are letters from business
en. bankers, clergymen and world i
ravelers, warning against the race
agitation. The logic used in reason
ing out the matter applies in prin-!
'"iple to our group and its racial bar
riers. Truly as a nation sows, so will
it reap.
I note In this matter, that the busi
ness world, when in the pursuit of t
:he dollar, becomes color blind.

CHARMING DRESS FOR FALL
This attractive dress for fall wear
Is beige embroidered. The fringe on
the sash ends make this dress of
moonglo crepe a charming creation
for fall wear.
SCHOOL TOGS FOR CHILDREN
Wash Clothes Have Preference-Where
Laundry Question Can Be
Easily Solved.
Tim experirticed mother knows that
she cannot send tier child to school in
exactly the same clothes that have
been worn all summer. School days
are too hard on the one hand on the
fine muslins and organdies and such,
arid require on the other hand some
thing a little more dress-up than ihe
rompers, overalls and play smocks
wom during the hot vacation morn
ings. Of course, ttie first few weeks
the weather Is still warm enough for
summer clothes, so that a few new
cotton frocks can be added Immediate
ly to the school wardrobe and new
fall things started by the home
sewer.
Where the laundry question does not
present an Insuperable problem, the
well-dressed child wear| wash clothes
to school all the year round. There
are being sponsored, however, for all
school wear some new kinds of wash
frocks which lessen laundry work hut
at the same tJme keep the school frock
fresh and clean, something very hard
to accomplish with the dark serge and
plaids. First of all. there Is satepn.
This can he had In dark chintz and
challls patterns and washes beautiful
ly. Besides. It Is warmer than other
cottons. Kven in the plain dark
shades, when of a fine quality It
makes cunning little frocks In plnn
fore style to be worn over separate
wash gnlmpes of dimity, lawn or pon
gee. These gtllrnpes can often he j
made from wornout frocks, which
gives this style of pinafore frock a
very practical aspect. A little wool
embroidery, a bright blanket-stitch
around the edge, home applique*] flow
ers front other colors of sateen and
the little dnrk school frock of navy,
black, brown or dark green becomes
quite gay.
SOLVE BAY WINDOW PROBLEM
Curtains and Decorations Which Will
Add to Attractiveness of
the Space.
In almost every home there are hay
windows that perplex the home decor
ator. There Is the round bay window,
for example, which requires something
more than glass curtains, and yet, be
cause of the closeness of the windows,
will not stand elaborate over-hangings.
Have two curved rods fitted around
the top of the sashes, one for the glass
curtains, the outer for the heavier
hanging. On the Inner one hang net
or fine muslin curtains, being careful
not to have fullness enough to produce
a bulging effect. A narrow width of
over-drapery, connected by a straight
gathered or plaited valance, should
hang at each end. stopping at the sill.
A window sent may be upholstered In
the overdrapery material.
Square hays are more difficult. Un
less the projecting space Is large
enough to admit heavy hangings grace
fully, they stxfnld not be attempted at
the Individual window. A better plan
Is to frame the opening of the hay
with a single pair of side draperies
connected by a valance. Just as though
It were a wide dow opening. A group
window may often be similarly treat
ed.—Good Housekeeping.
SELF-RESPECT
{HAVE to live with myself and so
I want to be fit for myself to know.
I want to be able, as the days go by,
Always to look myself straight in the
eye;
1 don’t want to stand with the set
ting son.
And hate myself for the things Pve
done.
I don’t want to keep on a closet shell'
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself, as I come and go
It’s thinking that nobody else will
know
The kind of a man I really am,
1 don’t want to dress myself up in
sham.
I-! I
want to go out with my head erect,
want to deserve all men’s respect,
Hut here in the struggle for fame and
self,
want to like myself;
don’t want to look at myself and
know
That I’m bluster and bluff and empty
show’.
never can hide myself from me;
T see what others may never see;
know’ what others may never know;
1 never can fool myself, and so
Whatever happens I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free.

'•HOMED TO DIE. GOES
ON HUNGER STRIKE
LITTLE ROCK. Ark.. Nov. 18.—A
hunger strike at the state peniten
tiary, now in its sixth day, may save
he life of Charles Cooper, Negro,
-entenced to be electrocuted next Fri
day.
Cooper, who was convicted of the
murder of a white farmer, hag re
fused food since last Friday and as
a result Governor Brough has di
rected the prison physicians to make

We cannot change yesterday—that is
quite clear,
Or begin on tomorrow until it is here;
So all that remains, both for you
and me,
Is to make each Today just as sweet as
can be.
