The speaker made. reference tog
James W. Storeynwho was present lastE
night and .who had joined in celebrat-
ing the centennial of the lodge fifty
years ago, congratulating him in a fit-
ting manner on his uusual record.
Prof. Taft spoke of the great ad-
vantages iIl age and tradition and ar-
gued against the'decrying of~whnt our
fathersdid and thought. He made ref“
erence to the men who vigorously at-
tack the constitution and muckrake
the framers. stamping them as reao!
tionists. Said the speaker: “We must;
build on the progress of the past."
The speaker told of his Masonic con-
nection and of its wonderful benefits.
:He stated that Masonry stands for the'
vitallziug and strengthening of morals.
that it has broad ideals and exerts
a great domestic of influence and use.

Trot. Taft their. launched into the
iubjoct of a League of Peace. ThsE
plan, he said. is to settle controver-
sies by a court. Continuing. the
speaker said: There is no instrumen-
tality that will abolish war, so we
must seek means by which to avoid it
as much as possible. The League of
Peace, as proposed, will, in my opinion,
1 eliminate struggles to a large extent.
It is a plan of arbitration. " Here
EProf. Taft recited illustrations show-
ing the similarity of such a procedure
to disputes between states in our
i country where the courts had decided
1the issues where no statute govered
Ethe questions. die spoke of the 100
'years of peace with Canada, comment-
: lug favorably on the successful handl-
ing of differences during that period.
E "There is 4,000 miles of border” he
E said, “with no forts along it, and not a
single battleship in the waters This
is a fine example of- the possibilities of
prolonged peace and the successful'set-
tlement of disputes by arbitration."
The speaker declared that agitation
by the electors is necessary to put the
proposed League of Peace "across,"
for the Senate, which now holds the
power, has so far refused to “relinquish
it and not until the senators feel the
knocking of the voters will they agree
to hand over such power that will p'eo
mit arbitration.
Prof Taft said that the idea of the
league is to secure six or eight of the
substantial powers as members and
form a court which will rule on :lus-
ticlsble questions, another one that
will decide non-justifiable ques-
Etions, an‘d a commission of coun-
cilliations that will get at the fact
surrounding any tissue, ultimately rec-
ommending a solution after the confer-
ence of~these powers. An agreement
is recommended in the plan that when
any" country," which is a member of
the dengue, having issue with another
E—member do'eén'trsubmit it to the court
forsettlement and begins war, all the
other members agree to defend the
nation which is to he attacked.
”With this contract in force.” said
the speaker, “the chances of war are
minimised." Prof. Taft said that of
course this would be a departure from
precedent tbat this country should not
mingle in European affairs, but argued
that that policy. which was suggested
by Washington. cannot hold now. Be

Tho-”Afternoon Exercises.
.. Honored by the presence of the
:Grand Lodge officers and attended
largely by the local members and
miuy from nearby towns, exercises
were held yesterday afternoon in the
rooms of St. John's Lodge, No. 0, l“.
slid A. M. commemorating the 150m
anniversary. The program of the att»
ernoonproved fitting to the occasion
and enthusiasm was at high pitch duo
‘ ing the addressesand short speeches.
Following them a dinner has served
at the Norwalk hotel to the guests
otter which they adjourned to the Ar-
mory to hear the former President
WillialIil H. Taft. ..
The special communication of the
afternoon opened with ,a reception of
Clare '
Connepticattond. his. associate Moor I .
This ivas followed by an ,address or
welcome by Anson F. Keeler, Master
of St. John's Lodge. A selegtlon by
the lodge quartette was rendered and
Grand‘ Master Clarence R. Austin
spoke’at some length. Another musl-
cal selection preceded the lIisEorical
address by George E. Curtis, which
follows: E
It like been written that the hop
piest nations have been those with-
out histories.
And when we consider the process
of making national history as exem-
plified at present in Europe, we may
well believe that statement to be a
true one. If it‘ is, then St. John's
Lodge should have no history, lorrits
existence, on the whole, has been
harmonious and happy. And as a
maqer of fact, such history'as it has
is little more than a record of the
names of those who have constituted
its membership and occupied its
chairs. Therefore thi s ‘sketch can be
little more than a dry record of such
facts. It will be weariaome to you
and to me but 1 am told by the pow-
ers that be that it is a necessaIy evil .
in connection with such an event as
this. However, you will be amply
compensated by. the floods of elo-
quence that are in store for you.
Doubtless you all know that St.
John's Lodge was instituted on the
23rd of May, A. D. 1765, under a char~
ter from George Harrison, Provincial
Grand Master of New York (there be-
ing then no Grand Lodges in Ameri-
ca which was not yet a nation); and
that its honored first Master was
Benjamin lsaacs, one of whose descen-
dants is at present a member of the
Lodge.
What some of you may not know
is the fact that it was instituted and
its earliest meetings held in the leases
house which stood on the identical
site now Occupied by this building.
There are older lodges’f‘lban .ours‘ in
the state, but I doubt if there be any
of them that is "now meeting on the
site or its institution. Some-of them
are not even located in the
town lwhere instituted, having been
