PAGE TWO THE CAPITAL JO0RNAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1922 FIRST STEP 10 SETTLE ORE on NDAN AIMS Dallas, Oct. 28. What may b the first step of the United States government toward- the payment of Oregon Indiana of long utand Jng land claims was taken Monday when Superintendent B. L. Chal craft, of the Siletz and rGand Ronde reservations, with Seneca Fouts of Portland, attorney for the Indians, called at Grand Ronde and held an all day meet ing with the different tribes of Indians in the Grand Ronde country. The meeting was held at the agency building, at which time an effort was made to form ulate the different claims. Superintendent hCalcraft is acting under instructions from the department of Indian affairs at Washington, D. C, in compli ance with a bill introduced by Senator Charles ilcNary of Ore gon, which has for its object the looking to the payment of the claims. About 18 or 20 tribes of Oregon Indians will benefit if the negoti ations are concluded satisfactorily to the claimants. Among these In dians are the following tribes' Umpquas, Rogue Rivers, Santl ams, Yoncollas, Molnls, Siletz, Marysvllles, Luckiaroutes, Cal looplas, Bhastas, Clackamas, C'hl .nooks and Yamhills. Many of these Indians aro mere remnants of their primitive glory and are represented by de scendants, numerous of whom are far removed from the full blood ed braves of long ago. The land in queutlon extends from the Co lumbia river on the north, along the Cascade range on the east, running west along the division line of Oregon and California to the Pacific ocean, and along the ocean to the mouth of the Colunv ll h river. These lands, the Indians Hnert, were taken from them In the early days In violations with treaties made with tho govern ment. Karly this summer the various headmen of the tribes mentioned had a meeting in Portland. About 100 or more Indians from Oregon wore In attendance. A. I, Hudson a well known Indian from Grand Ronde, acted as chairman. This meeting was the first definite move which led to the action now contemplated.

And It sees also the oppression still practiced in the Qime of re ligion men shot In a Christian all in Christian Italy tor reading the Christian Hlble; ia almost ev ery Christian state laws forbid ding fruedom of speech on matters relating to Christianity; and the gallows reaching its arm over the pulpit." P-l4. "Man never had the right to usurp the unexercised prerogative of God, and condemn and punish another for his belief. Born in a Protestant land, we are of tnat faith. If we bad opened our eyes to the light under, the shadows of St. Peter's at Rome, we should have been devout Catholics; born in the Jewish quarters of Aleppo, we should have condemned Christ as an lmposter; in Constantinople, we should have cried 'Allah il Allah', God is great and Mahomet is his prophet. Birth, place and education give us our faith. Few believe In any religion because they have examined the evidence of its authenticity, and made uv a formal Judgment, upon weighing the testimony. Not one man in ten thousand knows anything about the proofs ot hia faith. We believe what we are taught; and those are most fanatical who know least ot the evidences on which their creed is based." P-166. ' "No man truly obeys the Ma sonic law who merely tolerates those whbse religious opinions are opposed to his own. Every man's opinions are his own private prop erty, and the rights of all men to maintain each his own are perfect ly equal. Merely to tolerate, to bear with an opposing opinion, is to assume it to be heretical; and assert the right to persecute, if we would; and claim our toleration ot it as a merit. The Mason's creed goes further than that. No man. it holds, has any right fn any way to interfere with the religious be lief ot another. It holds that each man Is absolutely sovereign as tt his own belief, and that belief lt a matter absolutely foreign to ali who do not entertain the same be lief; and that, If there were any right ot persecution at all, ii would in all cases be a mutuai right; because one party has the same right as the other to sit as judge in hisown case; and God is the only magistrate that can rightfully decide between them. To that greut Judge, Masonry re fers the matter; and opening wide its portals, it invites to enter there and live In peace and harmony, the Protestant, the Catholic, the Jew, the Moslem; every man who will lead a truly virtuous and moral life, love his brethren, min ister to the sick and distressed, aud believe In the one, all-powerful, all-wise, every-where-preseut God, architect, creator and pre server of all things, by whose uni versal law of harmony ever roll on this universe, the great, vast, infinite circle of successive death and life: to whose ineffable name let all true Masons pay pro found oat homage! For whose thousand blessings poured upon us, let us feel slncerest gratitude, now, henceforth, and forever." P. 16 7. "The Mason does not dogmatize, but entertaining and uttering his own convictions, he leaves every one else free to do the same; and only hopes that the time r,will come, even it after the lapse of ages, when all men shall form-one great family of brethren, and one law alone, the law of love, shall govern God's whole universe," P-222. ' J "Masonry is engaged in her cru sade, against ignorance, ..intoler ance, fanaticism, superstition uncharltableness, and error. She does not sail with the trade-winds, upon a smooth sea, with a steady free breeze, fair for a welcoming harbor; but meets and must over come many opposing currents, baf fling -winds, and dead calms." P-237. "The supreme counsel for the southern Jurisdiction of the Uni ted States at length undertook the Indispensable and long-delayed task' of revising and reforming the work and rituals of the thirty de grees under its Jurisdiction. Re tainlng the essentials ot the de grees and all the means by which the members recognize One an other, it has sought out and de veloped the leading idea of each degree, rejected the puerilities and absurdities with which many of them were disfigured and made of them a connected system of moral, religious and philosophical instruction. Sectarian of no creed, It has yet thought if not improp er to use the old allegories, based on occurrences detailed in the Hebrew and Christian books; and drawn from the ancient mysteries ot Egypt, Persia, Greece, India, the Druids and the Esseries, as ve hicles to communicate the great Masonic truths; as it hag used the legends ot the Crusades, and the ceremonies of the orders ot knight hood." P-328. ' "The history of Masonry is tho history of philosophy. Masons do not pretend to set themselves up for instructors of the human race; Asia nroduced and preserved the mysteries, Masonry has, in Europe and America, giv en regularity to their doctrines, spirit and action, and developed the moral advantages which man kind may reap from them. More consistent, and more simple in its mode of procedure, it has put an end to the vast allegorical pan theon of ancient mythologies, ana Itself become a science." P-B40. "Masonry, when properly ex pounded, is at once the interpreta tion of the great book f nature, the recital ot physical and astro nomical phenomena, the purest philosophy, and the place of de posit, where, as in a treasury, are in nnfBtv all the great truths of the primitive revelation, that form the basis ot an religions, m the modern degrees three things are to be recognized: The image of primeval times, the tableau of the efficient causes of the uni verse, and the book in which are written the morality of all peoples .nH th code bv which they must govern themselves if they would be prosperous." P-625. "There is no pretence to infalli bility in Masonry. It is not for us to dictate to any man what ne shall believe. We have hitherto, In the struction of the several de ?rAfs con fined ourselves to laying before you the great thoughts that have found expression in tne an ferent ages of the world, leaving you to decide for yourself as to tha orthodox or heterodoxy of each, and what proportion ot truth, if any, eacn coniainea. P-642. "Rellelon is the recognition or duty in its necessary harmony with sroodness: a harmony that must have its realization in an other life, through the justice and omnipotence of God. "Religion is as true as moral ity; for once morality is admitted its consequences must be admit-ted.-p.717. "Masonry propagates no creed except its own most simple and ,hiimi one: that universal re ligion, taught by nature and by reason. Its lodges are neuner Jewish, Moslem, nor Christian temples. It reiterates the precents or morality of all religions. It venerates the character and com mends the teachings ot the great and good of all ages and of all countries. It extracts the good and not the evil, the truth, and not the error, from all creeds; and acknowledges that there is much which is good and true inall." P-718. "Freemasonry is the subjuga tion of the human that is in man by the Divine; the conquest otthe appetites and passions by the mor al sense and the reason; a con. tinual effort, struggle, and wel fare of the spiritual against the material and sensual." P-8 5 4. "Kverv degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, from the first to the thlrty-secona, tfiaches bv Its ceremonial as well as by its instruction, that the noblest purpose of life ana me highest duty of a man are to strive incessantly and vigorously to win tha mastery of everything, of that which in him is spiritual and divine, over that which is ma terial and sensual: so that in him also, as In the universe which God governs, harmony and beauty may be the result of a just equili brium."
