aw destructive of free government,
peace and harmony by William P.
Johnson, grand matter of the Oaten-
ad>J Grand lodge of Missouri. Ancient,
Free and Accepted Masons. In an ad
stress at the lodge's annual convoca
tlon In St. Louis last week.
"Ae thw Impression seems to pre
pall In some sections.” declared Mr
Johnson, "that the Masonic fraternity
is directly or Indirectly associated
with or furthsrlng of tbla <Ku Klux
Klan) secret organisation, and as I
have been asked on numerous oceae-
Joes what relations, if any, our frater-
nity bears to such secret society or
mrder. it it well that the seal of dis-
approval be positively placed by this
*rand lodge upon this secret organi-
sation which assumes to Itself the
rUSht and authority to administer law
and punish crimes.
"Nothing is mors destructive of fr«y
government than secret control.. The
arraying of race against race, color
against color, sect against sect Is de-
structive of peace and harmony which
le the great end we. as Free Masons,
have in view. We profess and boast
that we are true to our government
and just to our country.
"We can not. as Free Masons and
«ood citizens. recognise the right of
any secret society or combination of
men to assume themselves the right
to administer law and to Inflict pun-
ishment upon their fellowmen. Such
an assumption Is subversive of our
republican institutions, contrary to
the great principles of Free Masonry
"An organisation that practices
censorship of private conduct behind
the midnight anonymity of mask and
robe and enforces Its secret decrees
with the weapons of whips and tar
and feathers, must ultimately merit
and receive the condemnation of those
who believe in courts, open justice and
good citizenship."

KORDSON DEMONSTRATION WAS
VERT LARGELY ATTENDED
Dinner on the ground and a demon-
stration all day was on yesterady at the
Robinson held just beyond the south
era corporate limits of Dublin, the
occasion being a showing of the
Ford son tractor In action with several
tflree disc cultivators and a number
of dine pulverisers Except for the
plat of ground under demonstration
being a rather large one the dinner
would here been necessarily spread
on plowed ground or on some other
pice* of property. In view of the ease
and speed with which the little Ford
sen moved the big farm implements
over thtb Held,
eons witnessed lb# demonstration
during the day and were a Jt In ez-
pleasing the Fordism as a modern
way to till the soil better, more eenn-

Townsend has recently purchased the
Base home In Waco and Is now going
there to make bis home. He came to
Gorman in 11*00 and has for the past
twenty years been identified with the
business life of tlie-towu. He was one
of the founder* of the firm known as
the Towneeml-Oldham Co., and later
merged into the Higginbotham stores.
F. W. Townsend was a live, wide a-
wake business man and built a bual-
ness that against all the hard knocks
of the, past. has stood and prospered.
He has been a booster and worker for
Gorman throughout the years and will
be missed from the life of the town.
About a year ago he retired from ac-
tive business life and feeling that he
had a rest coming, began to look
around for a good place to take that
rest. He finally* settled on Waco and
at the time of this writing he is down
there. We are ell sorry to tee him I
leave but are satisfied that while he ,
may be away from Gorman, he will j
come back “home" real often and let
us all have a few more lessons In j
