Win ston courteously expressed his de light at coming again to Charlotte. He paid very handsome compliments to Walter S. Liddell and Dr. F. 31. Win chester, both past Grand Masters of Masonry. The distinguished speaker put himself on good footing with his great audience by his unqualified statement coming ' from the land where the earliest white men had landed on the shores of North Carolina, seeking a new home for liberty, he rejoiced to stand near the spot when on that fate ful May 20, 1775. the patriots of Meck lenburg took the first decided step to establish that liberty." He said that other declarations of the colonists vere made against specific evils, excessive costs taxation of tea and silk, asking that evils be remedied and made with the hope that complaint would be heeded and the relationship continue; but not so here. Complete independence, abso lute separation was the only note sounded; that shook the universe. His reference to the part that Mas ons played in the formation period of American life came in fittingly after his tribute to the Mecklenburg Dec laration. The main thought of his ex cellent address was to stress the Idea of brotherhood in every dealing in life "This building," said he, "marks an idea. You have other great structures in your beautiful city. They are not dis tinctively ideal. They are for conven ience profession, trade, or commeri cial The world could get on without them. The world can get on without; this building but not without the idea it represents not without the brotherhood it will teach." The illus traditions of Masonic charity and prac tices representing the idea of brother hood were tender and touching. "Masonry garners the prattle of childhood, the sigh of the widow, the loneliness of the stranger and weaves them into a garland of joy and love." His picture of Governor Een Hoop er, of Tennessee, "an unnamed infant left at the door of a Mason in the mid night hour, given a name and chance, and now the great governor of a great state, exemplifies the cardinal thought of Masonry to every child a chance to be what God intended he should be." Its idea, of brotherhood gives Mason- rv its universality rounaea on hh lands; its antiquity, ante-dating all his tory; and its honor, numbering all classes on its roll cf membership. ! The practical part of his admirable address was a call for "Masonry's basic thought in our International life. Amer ica of all nations is most Imbued with the spirit of love, of neighborliness of brotherhood. We can maintain our position only by putting these into practice, when we come to deal- with other nations. "The United States has a perfect right to fix the qualifications of citizenship in its own land and the conditions under which land can be held, but we should do this with cour tcsy and regard for the feelings of other countries. The color of the Jap anese is no excuse for brutality. WTe have a perfect right that our citizens traveling abroad shall enjoy the free dom of travel insured by treaties be tween alT "first-class powers; but wo should enforce that right with due con sideration for the traditions, conditions and feelings of the country through which we pass. We have a right to determine what our tariff shall be, what duties we shall levy, but we ought not to act in such matters as if we were the. only party interested. We have a perfect right to determine what tolls shall be paid for the use of the inter-oceanic ca nal which we have built at great ex pense, but we have no right to dis regard provisions of agreements into which we have entered. In a word, the United States ought not to conduct it self as if it were independent of all not be independent of them. The world is one great family of nations. The other Powers. We are not independent of them and ought not to be and can : United' States has to deal with thej welfare of the globe. We must know j our responsibilities. Ve must act like neighbors. Nations, like men, be brothers. 4'Here, where liberty was born, let us give great emphasis to the spirit of fraternity that is guiding the world I and holding nations in its embrace, i This building will stress that idea. When the stranger, no matter from-) what land?, however distant, looks upon the lofty towers and sublime pro portions he will feel lifted up to a higher plane when he comes to know that within its peaceful walls the sublimest truths are taught the Fath erhood of God the Brotherhood of Man.' BRITISH PRESS 01 THE BEN TOM C ft S E By Associated Press. London, March 4. The Mexican situation and Sir Edward Grey's pro nouncement of the views of the Brit ish government in regard to the in vestigation into the death of William S. Benton are the subject of much comment in today's newspapers. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "The temperate and restrained language in which Sir Edward Grey referred to the Mexican murder will have the approval of all Englishmen. Its moderation, however, will not dis guise the depth of their feeling. "Patience makes every concession to Sir Edward Grey's difficulties but if these is any danger of that pa tience being mistaken for indiffer ence it would introduce an element of grace disadvantage into international politics. "Every reason of moral and inter national right requires of the United States that the punishment of Ben ton's murderers shall be undertaken without delay. At the present mo ment civilization stands flouted and Great Britain outraged. The applica tion of the Monroe doctrine is par alyzed ana mocked." The Globe says: "Sir Edward Grey said much to emphasize the gravity of recent events and very little to relieve the disquietude which those events have inevitably provoked. The public opinion of this country, how- eer sympathetic to the United States, will not make considerations for tne embarrassments of President Wilson an adpnnate excuse for acquiescmc m such deeds as those of which Pancho Villa with the approval of Venustiano Carranza ha3 been guilty. If Presi dent Wilson cannot be held respon sible for the behavior of the Mexican insurrectionists his policy is directly responsible for the state of things which, has k i to intolerable excesses. What the United States has done is not merely to allow civil war to per sist but to foment it by allowing arms and ammunition to be supplied to the belligerents. "The United States is bound to ex ert that predominant and exclusive influence which it claims for putting an end to things which have be come a danger not merely to the United States itself but to the civ ilized world." The Westminster Gazette and the Evening Standard agree with Sir Ed ward Grey that the only possible pol icy is to wait and secure repara tion when circumstances permit it." The Dally Chronicle saye: "In a sense the United States ha3 more responsibility in Benton's mur der than Sir Edward Grey stated. Villa, his murderer, obtained practi cally all his arms and supplies from across the American border, because the United States deliberately raised in his favor an embargo otherwise! imposed by international law. He was able to keep the rebellion on foot partly for this reason but chiefly because the United States forbade European lenders to advance Huerta money to crush him. ; "If this policy of the United States did not exist, Benton probably would still be alive, and' if he were not England would be in a position to get redress from the regular Mexican ?nvprtimpnt Thus it i rpallv the United States which stands between f be philo-American enough not to say so officially, other powers in a like case might not be. The United States, in short, can hardly find a resting place. Her policies must either go for ward with the assumption of more re sponsibilities or backwards, with the abandonment of some, if not all, which it has now assumed." The Daily News concludes its ed itorial by commending Sir Edward Grey's caution. "It is irritating,'- the News says, "that a scoundrel should be aijle to murder a British subject with impunity but our anger should not drive us into dangerous quar ters. Sir Edward Grey's policy may seem for the moment barren but no other policy is practicable." xhe Daily Express says: "We re gret the rather humiliating confes sion of impotence and we think that Sir Edward Grey's language not too aptly chosen; but the sense of his statement is in accord with public sentiment and is on the whole satis factoiy. The next move clearly lies with President Wilson. He has one of those opportunities that do not recur." ESfiLI ACTION 01 ILASHL By Associated Press. Washington, March 4. Early ac tion on the administration bill for development cf Alaska's vast coal resources was forecasted today when the house public lands committee sub mitted the measure with a favorable report. A committee amendment would limit rights under proposed leases to mining only, reserving all surface rights to the government The bill would provide that Alaskan coal lands be leased in blocks of from 40 to 2,560 acres, for not more than 20 years, resulting royalties and rentals to go into a fund for Alaskan development. A royalty of three cents a ton would be charged for all coal mined in addition to a rental of 25 cents an acre a month for the first year, 50 cents an acre a month for the second and succeeding years up to five and $11 a year for the re mainder of the 20 year period. - la lOOa.

Mr. Delton Buck, Eyota, Minn., writes: "Finally the catarrh began to affect my eyesight and hearing, and becoming alarmed I-wrote to Dr. Hartman. He advised the use of Pe runa and salt water eye baths, which advice I followed. "I continued the above treatment several months until I was entirely cured, and now, after nearly three years, have had no return of the dis ease. I consider myself permanently cured, and cheerfully recommend Pe runa to all those suffering as I did." March, April and May are good months to effectually treat catarrh. Mr. Samuel A. Seal, R. R. 2, Tread way, Tenn., writes: "It gives me great pleasure to testify to the great good your medicine, Perana, has done for me in a chronic case of catarrh of the stomach. "A friend of mine passing by hand ed me one of your pamphlets, and seeing how Peruna was recommended for catarrh. I sent to Rogersville, Tenn., for Peruna. After taking it a few days I began to get better. I continued using-it until I was able to go to work on the farm again, and now I am in very good health and do work -on my farm."
