Like the firemen they are on duty all the time and the lives every time they go to a for that matier. If the surmiser did an discharge the duties of their "night storms" stormsews beaches they to their credit more hazardous and as work than almost any other class unity. Of the relief work of the American Service is relief of all the while. past year the life-savers rendered aid of nearly the life-savers rendered aid the aid of these brave and experienced seventy-four out of this large number be a total loss. Measured in dollars the service rendered in these fears as even greater. In the wrecks of ear there was involved property, in- lands and cargoes, to the total value of nearly the total value of the sur- prising of $10,057,000 was saved. The two million dollars a year which spends on his Life-Saving Service pretty good investment and that is into good investment and that is the immeiable lives immeiable the shipwrecked vessels. There were on board the craft that met disear and the total loss of life, which would have been many times that for the succor afforded by Uncle is of the beaches. Governor William A. Newell of New generally recognized as the founder of Life Service and he took the initia- tive to establish a disaster which he witness during the war in the Australian bark "Count Perasto" was Long Beach, New Jersey. The thirers of the crew, all of whom were rightly have been saved had at hand apparatus such as now con- gregation equipment of the United saving crews. Thus pointed out such so forceful upon the mind of Mr. Newell that he entered upon experiments with bows rockets and a shortened blunderbus of throwing lines to ships stranded in by small boats. Eventually ents culminated in complete success of a mortar or carronade with ball and tated for some years past. Congress at its last session was on the point of passing the necessary law thus to give recognition to the life-savers and it is believed that these faithful servants of the people will not have to wait much longer now to be accorded their rights—for, be it known, the life-savers only seek such relief from the conditions of physical disability and old age as is freely accorded men in our military and naval service. Nor is it merely that such a plan of retirement and pensions will do justice to the surmier who, it is claimed, run greater rights and endure more hardships for the wages paid to them do the men in any other branch of the government service. Quite aside from this is the influence that will be exerted upon prospective recruits for the service. Indeed, the officials of the Life-Saving Service assert that with a satisfactory retirement and pension operation in a superior class of men will be attracted to this vocation where so much must needs depend upon the individual. And, by the way, probably very few of our readers know that the United States Life-Saving Service is the largest as well as the most efficient in the world. Like the firemen in our cities, they are on duty all the time and risk their lives every time they go to a wreck or their mate; if the surmier did no more than discharge sides of their "night patrol" on the lonely storm-sweat beaches they would have to their credit more hazardous and more arduous work than almost any other class in the community. The scope of the relief work of the American Life-Saving Service is expanding all the while. During the past year the life-savers rendered aid in the case of nearly 1,500 wrecks and thanks largely to the aid of these brave and experienced men only seventy-four out of this large number proved to be a total loss. Measured in dollars and cents, the service rendered by these fearless men was even greater. In the wrecks of men who were involved property, including vessels and equipment, the total value of $11,850,000, and of the amount the proportion of $10,057,000 was saved. This in itself makes the two million dollars a year which Uncle Sam spends on his Life-Saving Service seem like a pretty good investment and that is without taking into consideration the lives imperiled on the shipwrecked vessels. There were 6,661 persons on board the craft that met disaster last year and the total loss of life, which was fifty-five, would have been many times that number but for the succor afforded by Uncle Sam's heroes of the beaches. The governor William A. Newell of New Jersey is greeted with relief as the founder of the Life-Saving Service and he took the initiative as the result of a marine disaster which he happened to witness during the summer of 1839 when the Australian bark "Count Perasto" was wrecked on Long Beach, New Jersey. The thirteen members of the crew, all of whom were drowned, might readily have been saved had there been at hand apparatus such as now constitutes the regulation equipment of the United States life-saving crews. The need thus pointed out made so forceful an impression upon the mind of Mr. Newell that soon after entered upon experiments with bows as a means of throwing limbs, blips stranded in positions inaccessible by small boats, eventually his experiments culminated in complete success by the use of a mortar or carronade with ball and Defective Page ```markdown ``` line. About this time Mr. Newell was elected to congress and on the first resolution day of the first session of the thirtieth congress—on January 3, 1848, to be exact—he introduced in the national legislature the measure which laid the foundation of our Life-Saving Service. The national government now maintains upwardly distributed stations distributed on the coasts of the Atlantic Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes. Each of these stations is manned by a crew of from six to eight surfmen—hardy and fearless fellows who are splendid specimens of physical manhood and who are skilled in handling boats in angry seas and in manipulating the various mechanical appliances which Uncle Sam provides as aids to the brawn and the quick wits of our fellows. He is also seen chewing the deep of its prey. For devotion to duty that necessitates ealienlence and the most fatiguing service the life-savers receive, the modest wage of $60 per month. Moreover they receive that pay for any nine months a year, the crews being laid off during June, July and August, at which season severe storms and wrecks are almost unknown. Should a life-saver be in danger this summer lay-off" he not only cannot get back to work, he cannot under existing conditions draw any pension or retirement pay, no matter how many years he has faithfully served the nation. The vast majority of rescues effected by the life-saving crews are accomplished by means of lifeboats or surfboards. These stanch craft, which, as now manufactured, are almost unstinkable, are the ideal vehicles for taking considerable numbers of persons from imperiled vessels in a limited space of time. If the patrolman, who in his vigil on the beach discovers a vessel ashore and hastens to the life-saving station for assistance, reports that the use of a boat is practicable either the large lifeboat is launched from its way in the station and proceeds to the wreck by water, or the lighter surfboard is hauled overland to opposite the wreck and launched as circumstance dictates. Formerly all of these boats were propelled by boats and many of them yet are, but latterly have been introduced big motor lifeboats, which have been improved in every way over their predecessors. Ottimes a ship meets disaster in so dangerous a position or with such a high sea running that it is manifestly hopeless to attempt to reach the imperilled craft with a small boat. Under such cr THE APPEAL. FIRING LIKE LINE TO SHIP IN DAYTRESS HOISTING TRIPOD FOR BREECHES BUY line. About this time Mr. Newell was elected to congress and on the first resolution day of the first session of the thirtieth congress—on January 3, 1848, to be exact—he introduced in the national legislature the measure which laid the foundation of our Life-Saving Service. The national government now maintains upward of three hundred life-saving stations distributed on the coasts of the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes. Each of these stations is manned by a crew of from six to eight surfmen—hardy and fearless fellows who are splendid specimens of physical manhood and who are skilled in handling boats in angry seas and in manipulating the various mechanical appliances which Uncle Sam provides cumstances recourse is had to the wreck gun and beach apparatus with a view to carrying on rescue work through the instrumentality of the breeches buoy or the life car. First of all a shot with a line attached is fired across the stranded vessel by means of a powerful little mortar or snub-nosed cannon, which will hurl a line over a wreck 400 yards distant, even in the teeth of a gale. With this preliminary line in their possession the crew of a shipwrecked craft can, quickly haul out a larger line and finally a three-inch hawser. Attached to the hawser is a board which bears in English on one side and in French on the other instructions as to how to make the hawser fast to a mast or the best place that can be found. When the shipwrecked mariners signal that they have obeyed instructions as to fastening the hawser the life-savers on shore haul the hawser taut and perhaps elevate the shore end by means of a tripod in order to lift it well clear of the water, after which there is sent off to the ship a breeches buoy, suspended from a traveler block, or a life car depending from rings running on the hawser. Only one person at a time can be the breeches buoy, but from four to six people can be the ashore at each trip of the life car. Whichever one employed the trips continue until all the imperial persons are safely ashore, after which an ingenious mechanical device known as the hawser cutter is out to the wreck along the cableway and upon arriving at the terminus of the hawser automatically cuts the rope, allowing the life-savers to haul it ashore and thus preserve a valuable part of their apparatus. Ambitious inventors are constantly devising new forms of aparatus for the use of the United States life-saving crews. Indeed, these inventions are so numerous that the federal government has felt obliged to create a board of experts whose special duty it is to test novelties and who hold such trials several times a year. However, not many of the new ideas that are advanced prove practicable, for the exacting conditions of the rough and ready service involved and the above mentioned classes of apparatus continue to be the standbys on which our life-savers place the greatest dependence. However, there has only been an advance in facilities for signaling and in use a form of beach light so powerful as an illuminant that it enables one to read the face of a watch at a distance of more than nine hundred feet. NOTED CAREER ENDS John Bigelow, a Famous Diplomatist and Author, Fame Won as Editor and Representative of America in France During Civil War—His Life's Span 94 Years. New York—John Bigelow, Sr., diplomat and author, died at his home in this city, aged ninety-four years. Mr. Bigelow, sometimes termed the "first gentleman of New York," was almost the last connecting link between the great men of the first half of the nineteenth century and the town, Y, X, in 1817, of a well-known family, he was prominently associated with the great men and the determining movements of the country during his entire life. In 1849, at the invitation of William Cullen Bryant, Mr. Bigelow became an editor of the New York Evening Post, in which position he continued until 1860. Under his editorship the paper came to a great influence. Sainte Beuve's critical letters were published under his supervision. Walt Whitman was a reporter and later a war correspondent, and Artemus Ward worked for the paper at the time; and it was at this period that "Bret Harte was remarkably regular at the office on pay days." Mr. Bigelow's series of articles on the effects of slavery in the West Indies worked up some of the feeling which made Lincoln's election possible in 1860, and at the encapstant's urging the editor went as minister to France during the trubulous times of the French. Mr. Bigelow succeeded to much the same power and position that Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson had held more than 50 years previously. It was at this time that Mr. Bigelow discovered Franklin's "Autobiography," of which he edited the authoritative edition. Later a "Life of Benjamin Franklin" was written and edited. Mr. Bigelow was appointed an executor of the estate of Samuel J. Tilden, and in addition to his ordinary duties as an executor he undertook those of the literary administrator. Tilden's "Writings" were published and later a "Life of Samuel J. Tilden" was written. During all this time a constant stream of magazine article, pamphlets and books were coming from the ambassador-editor. His literary activities were frequently interrupted by other political appointments and honorary positions given him, but since 1867 his main thought was given to him. His "Life of William Cullen Bryant," with whom he was associated so many years, was published in 1893, and in 1908, at the age of ninety-one years, his greatest work "Retrospects of an Active Life," was published in three volumes. Bigelow's "retrospects" covered more than half of the life of the nation. To the very last Mr. Bigelow kept a clear head and an active mind for a clear purpose, "writing with ease and the elegance of the older school and with an accuracy all his own on every subject that interests him." Two sons of the aged author, Major John Bigelow, Jr., of the United States army, and Poulton Bigelow, the writer, have attained distinction in their respective fields. Mr. Bigelow was a trustee of the New York University Museum of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a member of many learned and honorary societies in this country and abroad. Pastor Is Some Farmer. Sandusky, O.-Not satisfied with the good work he is doing in saving souls, Rev. C. H. Schoepke, of Birmingham, has set out to show the farmers of this neighborhood that his duties are not so arduous but that they give him time to work a few wonders in agriculture. The farmer has been excited among the farmers of this neighborhood in ability to grow prodigies in the various agricultural products. It was started early this fall when Frank Kuh produced some enormous ears of corn. Others sprang up from time to time to claim recognition, but Rev. M. Schoepke bided his time. The secret of his plans came to light when he drove to town an enormous carrots, which tipped the tables at six and three-quarters pounds. PLATT'S WIDOW A BRIDE Mrs. Lillian Janeway-Platt Once Popular in Washington, Marries W. B. Atwater. Washington—The marriage, recently, of William Janeway to Awater to Thomas C. Platt. Janeway not noted aviator and the widow of United States senator whose fame may be said to have been almost world-wide. As the bride of Mr. Platt Mrs. Platt contrasted most noticeably with the deprecitude of the aged senator. Now, in the culmination of her latest and, by the way, third romance, she having been Mrs. Lillian Janeway, widow, active in the society life of the United States when Mr. Platt made her his bride, it is her husband's youth which may be Mrs. Atwater, looked upon as the incongruous feature of the alliance. Mr. Atwater impresses those who know him as a light-hearted, life-loving boy, while the lady of his heart-well, she's still charming in appearance and manner but not by the greatest stretch of the imagination could one call her girlish. As the wife of the senior senator from the Empire state Mrs. Platt was prominent socially. As his widow she has lived a somewhat retired life in Central Valley, N. Y., and there, while deputy town superintendent of roads, Mr. Atwater made a bumbling error. His mother's bumbling is not from that which has been occupied by Mrs. Platt. For seven years Mr. Atwater was in the United States navy and served on board a dispatch vessel plying between Hong Kong and Manila at the time of the Spanish-American war. For a time he was assistant engineer on board the treadmill St. Paul. He is considered an expert with automobile and other motors. Mr. and Mrs. Atwater will spend the winter on the Pacific coast, where the young aviator will pursue his study of aviation. SOME OF WAR'S HORRORS Cruel Death of the Prisoners in the Stone Quarries of Ancient Syracuse. London.—All the horrors of war have not been eliminated in these modern days by any means, although fighting between nations is becoming less frequent and less ferocious than of Old Day. Today no nation would be permitted to deliberately starve to death its prisoners, for instance, as was done in ancient Syracuse. We have passed the rude, barbaric age, it seems, but there is room for further improvement, for all that. The picture shown herewith has the appearance of quiet, peaceful days, yet it is a wonder that the rocks are not covered with red streaks, for it was in these old quarries near Syracuse that some 9,000 Where Prisoners Perished. Athenian prisoners were confined and left to die of hunger and thirst. This happened in 413 B. C., when the Athenians under Nicias and Demosthenes were defeated by the Syracusans, who were aided by the Spartans. History records that the ships of the Athenians were destroyed and about 30,000 men killed, while 9,000 were made prisoners. The quarries where the prisoners were placed to perish so miserably cover many acres in extent, having been hewn from the solid rock by slaves of slaves. Tradition does not mention whether the haunted, but it would be no matter for surprise if the spirits of those old Athenian soldiers yet hung around the scene of their greatest misery watching for a chance to get even with some one. $2.40 PER YEAR. A stone's throw from the station a structure whose horizontal slabs, wrinkled with age, spill over the sidewalk and women, babies, dogs and dirt, fighting for supremacy on the stone doorsteps, tell with the eloquence of action of the decadence wrought by the passing years. It was in the early part of the last century that its hospitable doors first opened to the tired wayfarer, its wide verandas echoed to the tread of gay gallant and lady fair, mall from beyond the ferry, sealed and Scene in Harper's Ferry. without envelopes, or stamps, passed through its portals, and when in 1812, the army of England invaded the land, the hostelry served as headquarters for a panic-stricken countryside. Yet this is not the oldest spot. Farther down the street looms a cottage whose shining coat of whitewash belles its ancient timbers. Part logs and partly of rough-hewn boards, the small house once served as a village inn, before its older looking competitor had dreamed of entering the field. It was here that Washington and some of his officers were several miles behind it. It is now the home of "Uncle Joe." It was earlier still that the town received its name. When Robert Harper, a native of Oxford, England, came to the place in 1747, there was already a man in possession, a squatter named Stevens, who lived at "The Hole," in Shenandoah street, Harper, in love with the beauty of the location, bought out Stevens, settled in his house and established the ferry from which the town takes its name. In 1775, or thereabouts, he entered the oldrick house on High Street, where he was killed in death in 1782, and which, half buried in ivy, still stands, a fitting monument to the good judgment of the old pioneer. Ten years later, when the government needed a site for an arsenal, Washington chose Harper's Ferry. In those days water power was even more important than it is at present, and in this particular the location was unrivaled. The place could be easily fortified, and it was near enough to the new capital at Washington to be quickly reached. Though the rocky bed of the Potomac and the nearby Chesapeake bay formed a canal was feasible and was soon under construction. The canal is still in good condition and for many years has been owned and used by the Chesapeake and Ohio company in transporting coal from Cumberland to Georgetown. The Shenandoah, "Daughter of the Stars," which unites with the Potomac at Harper's Ferry, is no less swift and rocky than its companion stream, and like that "lordy" river, its waters have been long used for industrial purposes. Mill races were the earliest early day rulers of a rife factory, and mill, etc., remains, a subject of question and comment. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

If the Caucasians of this country held to the sentiment, "let the punishment fit the crime," without regard to the color or nationality of the alleged criminal, there might be less crime. But when white men know that out of over 2,000 murders committed by them during 1911 less than 200 were convicted and punished, they feel reasonably secure in killing when they feel like doing so. A crime committed by a black man is, in reality, not a particle more heinous than the same crime would be if committed by a white man; and, as it is a common principle in law that every man is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty before a jury of his peers, that principle should apply to all mankind alike. Hence, when a mob of white men take upon themselves the responsibility of taking the life of a man whose GREATEST CRIME, in their eyes, is his wearing of a black skin, they not only violate the before mentioned principle of law, but themselves become partice criminis in a murder. We do not condone J. H. PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. TAFT Sets at Rest Reports That He Would Decline Renomination. Says Nothing but Death Will Bar His Candidacy. Vigorous Campaign Planned. Sets at Rest Reports That He Would Decline Renomination. Says Nothing but Death Will Bar His Candidacy. Vigorous Campaign Planned. "Nothing but death can keep me out of the fight now." President Taft is reported to have made this statement to White House callers today, and to have added that he had no objection to the statement being made public. It undoubtedly was intended to set at rest all reports that Mr. Taft might withdraw from the race for the Republican nomination for President in favor of Col. Theodore Roosevelt. The President is said to be thoroughly aroused to the gravity of the situation in the Republican party and determined to let the nomination generally understood. He has decided that under no circumstances will he withdraw his name from consideration by the Chicago convention next June and has asserted that his position will have changed in any particular since he first entered the White House. Mr. Taft has told friends and party leaders from the first that if he should be called upon to stand for re-election he would be glad to do so; that he felt under obligations to the party for having made him President and was willing to abide its decision in the convention. He adheres to this position according to announcement today, and will not quit the race until the nominating ballots are cast at Chicago. crime in anyone, but we believe in justice and fair play for all. We do not believe in capital punishment for any crime, under any circumstances, and we certainly do not believe that a mob of men can possibly be justified, either by God or by fair-minded men, when they take the law in their own hands and murder a man—mainly because his Creator saw fit to allow him to be born with a black skin. Does anybody think for one instant that King Davis, the Afro-American, aged 28 years, who was taken from the jail at Brooklyn, a suburb of Baltimore, early Christmas morning, and shot to death by a small body of unidentified men, would have been so murdered had he been white? He had shot and killed a white man Saturday night, but had been arrested and placed in jail and was entitled to a fair, impartial trial. The men who took him out and killed him were as guilty as he, but punishment to fit their crime will never be met out to them. President Taft on Tuesday commuted to expire at once the life sentence of Arthur Adams and Robert Sawyer, two Negro British subjects, convicted at Wilmington, N. C. in 1906, of murder on the high seas. In a confession before his execution Henry Scott, another Negro, convicted of and hanged for the same crime, exonerated Adams and Sawyer. Originally Adams and Sawyer were sentenced to death, but this was commuted by President Roosevelt to life imprisonment. The prisoners were natives of the British West Indies, and the British Ambassador intervened to secure consideration for the pleas for executive clemency. "I do not find," said President Taft in disposing of the case. "Adams and M. H. Chairman of the Sub-Committee in Charge of Arrangements for the Republican National Convention, the Best Man for This Important Work. withdraw his name from consideration by the Chicago convention next June, and has asserted that his position with respect to the nomination has not changed in any particular since he first entered the White House. Mr. Taft has told friends and party leaders from the first that if he should be called upon to stand for re-election he would be glad to do so; that he felt under obligations to the party for having to abide by his willing to abide its decision in the convention. He adheres to this position, according to announcement today, and will not quit the race until the nominating ballots are cast at Chicago. Sawyer fire from fault, and I do not think that their conviction, in so far as it has led to the present imprisonment, is an injustice; but I do think that the confession of Scott and the other circumstances are enough to relieve them from active complicity in the murders and to justify their now being freed." Another "fire-proof" structure was destroyed by fire in New York Tuesday. It was the magnificent Equitable Life Insurance building that cost $14,000,000 to build. The fact that there was no insurance carried on the building is evidence that it was conceded to be fire proof. Every once in a while we have a terrible fire that destroys some "fire-proof" building. Baltimore wins the Democratic national convention. It is an ideal city for the meeting of such a body. Baltimore, the segregation city, hotbed of race prejudice, is the proper place for the nominating convention of the Democratic party, with its traditions of mobs, murders and mossbackism. A bill has been introduced in Congress making Labor Day, the first Monday in September, a legal holiday, and, in order to make it popular, it provides that all per diem employees of the government shall be paid their regular wages for the holiday. The increasing popularity of President Taft is shown in the fact that 8,000 persons greeted him on New Year's day. Last year only 5,000 were on hand. President Daniel Howard, the new chief executive of Liberia, was inaugurated January 1. It was a gala affair, and Monrovia was full of life and color. EULOGY & SERMON Delivered by Dr. J. R. White and Rev. H. P. Jones at The Memorial Services of Gopher Lodge No. 105, I. B. P. O. E. W. at St. James A. M. E. Church, St. Paul, Sunday Evening December 31, 1911. Owing to unavoidable circumstances, the annual memorial service of Gopher Lodge No. 105, I. B. P. O. E. W., could not be held on the proper date, Dec. 3rd, but was held at St. James A. M. E. Church, Sunday evening, Dec. 31. The saint and sermon on this occasion were thought to be of such a high order that arrangements were made to publish the same in THE AP-PEAL, as follows: and we will now say God bless our Exalted Ruler, L. B. Greer. This lodge is rich in history of glorious deeds. It has extended its benevolent arm to the sick and distressed, and stands ready to hear the cry of its members. It does not forget those who have passed into the eternal beyond. It has a smile and a warm clasp of the hand for all, and it trying to exemplify, the true principle. Rev. White's Eulogy. Gopher Lodge No. 105, I. B. P. O. E. W., was organized in the year 1900 with a large membership, and continued to grow until the entertainment of the Grand Lodge in 1908. Since it was organized it has met many reverses. It has lost about 20 members by the ruthless hand of death. The last one to desert this life was brother Scott R. Walker, and in whose memory Gopher Lodge is here met this evening. He was born in the city of Lexington, Ky., received only a fair education, but developed into an astute business man, amassed a fortune, and was later attacked by one of the greatest enemies known to modern life, tuberculosis. He confessed his belief in Jesus Christ as his Saviour before he passed away. He had a host of friends in both races, political, civil and fraternal. He left a wife and three children. He lived all of the written and unwritten laws of the Order. We believe that Bro. Scott R. Walker is now in a land where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will spread out before him like the isles that slumber in the sea, where the beautiful things that now pass before us like shadows will remain in his presence forever. He has gone from his work of the lower world. Attended by beautiful thoughts alway. He has gone into spirit realms imperiled. To live in the upper world with God for aye. It would be impossible for men of different families, of different religious beliefs, to become as brothers were it not for the sacred vows taken before the altar, which weaves a magic chain. DR. J. R. WHITE. of interest that cannot be severed until we enter the portals of the grave. Organization The principle of organization is to form in due order, that is union; union is the act of uniting; that is concord; concord is a state of being one—junction, unity of thought, unity of purpose. The results accruing bring power; power when rightfully used and not abused brings a blessing; blessings creat happiness; happiness, holiness, perfect rectitude; rectitude means uprightness; uprightness begets love, and love is identical with God. God the evidence of one source, whose spontaneous investment of itself in humanity and nature, binds the all of common union, one divinity of interest, and that is man. Man is related to God through the power of His love. His love for all of His created beings, through His Son, makes us brother unto an other and children of one God. This is a beautiful thought, unlimited in magnitude, all blending in one harmonious all, called brotherly love. If we could cast ourselves upon the surface of the sun, then view the mighty solar system to its fartherest outreaches, we would behold an organization in all of its perfection, and every planet connected playing its part in perfect harmony. The harmony that is called the "music of the spheres," related to, and in vibration with all other planets, blending in purpose to the ultimate glory of God. The object of this lodge is to combine and blend these divine principles in the cultivation of brotherly love. When we became Elks we had the desire to exemplify greater love, brotherly love, in all its purity, that we might enjoy the "music of the spheres" called harmony; or heaven on earth, called happiness. Let us for the moment look into the component parts of love and ask how doth love conduct itself? First—It exhibits itself in the sweet temper of long suffering. We call it patience. Second—It conforms to the trusting grace of sorrow. We call it resignation. Third—It ministers in self-forgetfulness. We call that charity. Fourth—It bears the burdens of other without complaint. That is duty. Fifth—It flows with indescribable strength in human hearts. When it stands defiant in the face of odds and for the defense of the weak. That is courage. Sixth—It resists not evil, endures and never fails. We call it by its true name—love! Oh! love, beautiful love, divine love, coming from the one source that never fades. We have not been able to have recognized its worth when this lodge was organized, but since it has dispensed charity in justice, grounded in brotherly love and true friendship by filling a promise. "Where there is unity there is strength." Love leaves her footprints in the sands of time. Through her influence we paint a beautiful conception, harmonious in design and coloring. The names of the organizers of Gopher Lodge 105: Thomas H. Hyle was the first Exalted Ruler, was elected and reelected for five terms. Other efficient officers who have filled the chair are William H. Johnson and Owen Howell. Defective Page and we will now say God bless our present Exalted Ruler, L. B. Greer. present Exalted Ruler, L. B. Greer. This lodge is rich in history of glorious deeds. It has extended its benevolent arm to the sick and distressed, and stands ready to hear the cry of its members. It does not forget those who are in need of eternal beyond. It has a smile and a clasp of the hand for all, and is trying to exemplify the true principles of brotherly love. Friends, if you have no time in your busy life to stop and drink at the brook of human affections, to look deep within the eyes of true friendship, to sympathize, to comfort, to taste the strange, sweet, bitter cup of common fellowship, unless you can, you will never be a true friend, nothing but forlorn washes, upon either side of the avenue out the sheltering shade of a single tree. No encouragement, no smile, no hearty hand clasp, no sympathetic feeling, and no brotherly love. Ex-President Roosevelt, in one of his famous addresses before a convention of a fraternal order, in the city of Washington, just before he left for his toff of the African continent, said: "If the combined powers of the old world were pitted together to attempt the destruction of our free American institutions, the fraternal orders of the United States alone would preserve it intact." Yesterday's flowers will never bloom again. That spoken word can never be recalled. Brother Elks, plant your standard upon the sunkissed heights of success. Let no opposing thought intervene to mar your victory. The past is behind, the future is ahead, with its changing events, but you must live in confidence and hope, because— Life soon slips away. No pressure may prevent its flow, No art or skill we mortals know; Out of the silence, lo the years, Arise and go like smiles and tears. Let us smile and be happy in the principles of brotherly love. Then— Sing us a song, sweet singer, Let it be "Rest, Sweet Rest," today, That in our minds there shall linger, Pictures from far, far, far away. Play the Elks a hymn, musician, Thy hymn of the ages to be; All the earth is seeking a position, Mankind's soul to free. Preach us thy sermon, preacher, But live what thou dost say; If a man is a fallen creature, Christ can save him today. Paint it with your master mind, Soul afame, and life blood, too; Give us a masterpiece, most grand, That these Elks may understand you. Build us a temple, O, Elks, Of architecture grand, Where love, and truth, and duty, As its solid pillars stand. The "Brotherhood of Elks" is a gift of God; Members, be true, be pure, be meek, every one: Then your soul will live forever, and dwell with God and Son. Exemplify in your daily lives brother- ly love with its lasting principles, which creates union, which creates unity, which creates power, which crea- tes blessings, which creates happiness, which creates joy, and rounds out our lives in its fullness, and brings us face to face with the realization of God. The old year is dying, So hearts that are aching No longer need sigh; All Elks will join me in saying, Good-bye! Good-bye! Tomorrow is a new year, Coming our way, To help us to reach Life's ambition, We halt, dear Elks, and say, I like the entire deer family. I like them for their usefulness. The reindeer in Lapland takes the place of horse, sheep and cow—he supplies food, clothing and transportation. Thinking of their usefulness one wonders what Lapland would do without them. They are not carnivorous and he does not attack man, as the lion and tiger have antlers, it is true, some of them, but they do not gore as does the cow or ox. They are graceful in action, sharpoofed for climbing, keen-sensed, beautiful animals, I think. The European elk is large, the Lapland reindeer, small, and some varieties are indigenous to cold climates. They are found over a large expanse territory, and their fossils far south are relict of the ice fields toward the pole. Since the hunter cannot pursue them he lies in wait at the watering places or at the salt licks. I have wondered why you call yourselves Elks. Is it because some people suppose you have horns? And I wondered how I could greet you, whether I might be permitted to salute you with, "Hello Bill." After all my thought respecting you I came to a conclusion that while you are Elks you face to face with conditions identical with those that confront me, and so our interests are common and why we not talk about them in a frank, open-hearted sort of a way that might be mutually profitable. We are not nearly so far apart as one might think. You are working for human uplift, so am I. We are both teaching—you, behind the guarded doors of your lodge-room, I, in an open room. You put more stress upon men's bodies, alleviation, relief; I work to their bodies by putting emphasis on soul, strength, courage, and spirit; ciple than about specific method. Both of us are in quest of truth, of light, of leading, and our paths are predestined to converge because truth is one. Bey Jones' Sermon We are not rivals, then, but allies. I'm extending to you tonight the right hand of fellowship. You are helping me when you do your work well. I'm helping you when I honestly do mine. I'm extending my congratulations because this lodge has disciplinary value. You are instructing men in the use of a ritual, getting them in the habit of lodge-room decoration, you're teaching them the rules of order and lodge-room decoration, you're teaching them the co-operation, teaching them respect for constituted authority, teaching them the spirit of toleration and forbearance. The reputation of Gopher lodge is determined by the fraternal intelligence of its membership and its perpetuation is bound up with the character, the effectiveness of your teaching and the application of the lessons taught. I can congratulate you upon a rare opportunity for service to your lodge and to your community, for you can enhance the results of your good work to your lodge-room—it will come out in spite of you. Now I'll take your emblematic head and antlers from the lapel of your coat and scrutinize those legendary letters, I. B. P. O. E. W., and I'll ask you to read with me, some meanings into the signified words, Independent, Beneficent, Protective Order Elks of the World. Independent. That word "independent," tells me a story of your struggle to preserve your name, identity, ritual, to wear your badges, to confer degrees, to perpetuate your organization, and the end is not yet. I like your spirit, your determination to preserve your legal rights. You've caught something of the spirit of 76, an independent spirit. It is well. You may stumble in your initial attempts to be as reasonable to suppose you will. No half-minded man will say that a hard-minded man will say that a hard-minded man better remain forever in arms than he risk of bumping his nose by attacking him walk. We'll exult over his fallering step, encourage when he falls to try it over again, until he can maintain his balance and rely no more upon an outstretched hand. I'm glad for your consciousness of ability, for your self-reliance, glad for your assertion that you want nobody to carry you, that all you ask is to be put down and let alone. I'm proud that you are learning in one way what we've got to learn in all ways, to be self-supporting, for it's just as true everywhere else as here, that we've got to work out our own salvation. If the other fellow would not just as soon see you lost as saved—he's got all he can do to save himself. We're doomed to death while we wait on somebody to come and help us. Scratch around manfully, something's PETER H. REV. H. P. JONES. bound to happen if you try hard enough and keep on trying. **Benevolent.** And when you talk about "Benevolent," you have left the world of externals and gone into the domain of ethics, Christian ethics, into man's moral nature and his moral task. How shall I know you are benevolent? Well, if you get sick we'll look after your medicine and provide a physician and sit by your bedside or get you a nurse and pay your sick dues or benefits. Good enough. You can do all that and more without convincing me that you're benevolent. You may do this because it's your agreement, because your law requires it, because the public expects it, because it's an advertisement, there are a hundred reasons why these things might be done, and in which there would not be a particle of benevolence. On the other hand, they could be done, prompted by a benevolent spirit. Then what is "Benevolent?" Analyze and define it. Literally it is a compound of "bene," good, and "volens," wish or will—good-wishing, wishing one well, it's a heart quality! Gentlemen, we are making no greater mistake in our lodges than that of putting undue emphasis upon a misconceived "benevolence." It's the emphasis on the "money benefit" end of our lodge life and because of it you and all other lodges will yet have to place a double guard on your treasure. I'm a lodge man and I know there are those in every lodge who are exacting, contentious, grasping, always looking for what they can get in "benefits" and always in a condition to take them. Isn't it a real bane of lodge life? On the other hand, I know men and women, so do you, who may get sick but they will never apply for “benefits.” They pay their dues and assessments but never ask for anything. Year after year they stay in your lodge, but so far as money is concerned, never get any benefits. Well, why? Isn't it just that they have too much pride, too much self-respect, too high a conception of the purpose of your lodge, to continually have a hand extended like a beggar? And I tell them that the poor person opposes their lodge is to get men above being medicants, even as respects the lodge itself. It's not to make men scheme as to how they can get the last cent out of your strong-box. Anything that encourages a man to do that sort of thing can in no wise be called “benevolent.” The wrong spirit is in the man, the wrong inducement is held out, maybe, by the order, too much emphasis is being put upon the wrong end of the thing. The individual conceives a kind of benevolence which is not benevolence at all and which redounds to his individual benefit. It operates only one way, and that when there's something coming to him, the benevolence is good will, goes out of the thing—is not coming in to one's self, that he can show, ought to show, the benevolent spirit toward his lodge as well as to expect the lodge to show that kind of benevolence unto him. and it's a poor rule that doesn't w. both ways. Your best work, gentleman, is not shown in the amount of money you've paid out in sick benefits, then. No, not at all! Your treasury may be overflowing or depleted, that doesn't necessarily signify anything to me. The real determination of your worth as a lodge must be sought for, must found in the spirit of Elks in the process of making. The perpetuity of your organization depends upon it. You're doing the most commendable work when you take the fundamental, amalgamate, take the raw material, turn it out a finished product. You have no need to make apology for the kind, for the character, of men you take provided only you don't have to apologize for the men you make! Others may criticize you because you take in this one and that one and the other one, and they will, but I don't. If you gentlemen have this conception, that it's your duty to make bad men good and good men better, you've got a real Christian insight! I'm glad for it! The thing that we all ought to be criticized for is seeing a man go wrong without making an earnest effort to get him right. And it's infinitely easier to get at him when he's in than it is when he's out. You can't domesticate your deer until you catch him. It's no true spirit of "benevolence" that persists in a wrong course, when we it's wrong and when others are being affected by it to their detriment. If the dog manifests the spirit that it's calculated to help us do right it's our manifest day, nay. it's the acme of ingratitude, if we tinue to disregard its pleas and instructions and thus subject it to adverse criticism and undeserved censure. I am not deceived! There's nothing the matter with Gopher Lodge as such; and if you have somebody in it who's not just what you want him to be, work on him, put him through another initiation, make him better, that's what the church is trying to do. That's what worthy organizations of all kinds are trying to do and it's commendable. You think I mistake the purpose of your order when I class it as a character builder, but I'm sure I don't. Here's your ritual, here, beautiful in expression, chaste in diction, containing beautiful excerpts from master minds in literature. Here are your symbols taken from nature and art. Here's your chaplain whose true word echoes the message from Sinai and Olivet. Here are living men dying, dying men who must live. Here we are the confux of eternities trying to solve the problems of life, to untangle the chains. to get some answer to our queries from that Sphinx called death and have your ritual and classic lore, your symbols and natural science, your Chapain and divine revelation, no relation to our life problems, no answer to our life questions, no connection with our life tasks? Do you think that lectures and ritual are to be lip service and prayer is to be lifeless word? Are we not going to turn teaching into terms of life, precept into action, get strength out of signs, encouragement out of concern, broader conceptions out of concern, into lodge-taught hands and hearts and brains the tools of life and tell your mind his destiny. You can do that teaching in your lodge every week or two during life but you can't read that service for the dead over me but once and then I won't know anything about it, and would need to care less. What you say and what you do after I'm gone won't affect me, neither to my help nor to my detriment, your flowers will not delight my senseless nostrils, nor can flattery soothe the dull, cold ear of death. I will not care then whether you put in an oaken casket or in a pine box, whether you chant your requiem or whether the cold winds moan a sad farewell, the Dana and or buried in the Potter's Field. You can if you will to the music of the dirge and take your step by the measured time of the muffled drum, but the dust in the hearse will heed not at all the funeral music nor will the disembodied spirit be recalled by rhythmic lamentation. No, no, gentlemen, we're emphasizing the wrong period. I'm pleading with you to put your emphasis on life, not on death. I'm pleading with you to teach that no trappings at death, no dignity of ceremony, no ephepisms of ritual, no encomiums of rhetorician, no solemnity of service, can atone for the tragedy of misspent life nor change the decrees of just heaven, nor blind the public eye to well-known truth. The old adage is true, as the tree falls so it lies. Just as you live, just so you die; just as you die, judgment's going to find you so. And I would have you make that word, "benevolence" stretch beyond yourself and beyond your little span of life to your wives, your children, your worthy institutions. I know some men who are thoroughly satisfied when they keep up their dues, remain financial in their lodges. They need any houses or lots, don't need any life insurance, don't need to leave anything behind, to be taken care of when sick, to be buried when dead, they don't want anything more. I sincerely hope that the men of Gopher Lodge are not using the lodge as an excuse, in that way, for not having anything. Your opportunity demands that you add something to the sum total of the race's material assets. Well be a race of paupers forever, and you have a duty to produce more than we consume, to have a reserve, to spend less than we make, to transmit something besides debts to posterity. Broaden your interpretation of that word "benevolence" until it means comfort for your wife and children after your dead, a home for them to live in, a little money for them to keep the wolf from the door. Yes, and would you expect others to deliberately wasted yourself. Nothing is more sad, it seems to me, than to see a man who has prospered and wasted, come to want and dependence on others, unless it be to see his family in need for what with economy he could have provided. You do your whole duty, make them secure as far as you're able, against need and you will have read a reasonable meaning into this word "benevolence," "well wish Protective This word "protective" does not signify "offense" but "defense," means that it's not "aggressive" does not make attack but "sustains" it. It is not looking for, seeking, trouble, but meets it bravely when it comes. It is strangely significant of the deer family that their protection lies in the keenness of the senses and the Continued on fourth page.

What is this life we lead but shame, As Time and Eternity soon shall prove? Yet, dear to ourselves our masks be come, We wear them abroad, And we wear them at home. Tired of greeting with smiling face Those whom we despise and hate. Tired of formality, which debars All that an eager soul would create. Tired of all this bustle and strife; But I cannot say I am tired of life. In spite of ourselves this world we love. With all its faults and its hollowness, For we are a part, and into our lives Some sunshine falls with a bright caress. Tired of insincerity? True. But oh, my love, I'm not tired of you. Damnable Color Prejudice. Mr. Z. B.

Mr. Fifeld has a large number of Afro-American customers in the office called at his office in the natural course of business.

A number of business men with whom Mr. Fifeld is connected in a business way called on the WESTERN EXPRESS CO. and endeavored to have the order rescinded, all to no purpose, so Mr. Fifeld, rather than to have furried,Comment moved as above. Comment was suitable to be said of the WESTERN EXPRESS CO. would be unprintable. Don't forget the name of that express company—WESTERN EXPRESS CO. "THE GIRL IN THE TAXI" The Next Attraction at the Grand Opera House. The attraction at the Grand for one week, beginning Sunday matinee, Jan. 14, will be the laughing sensation. The Gri1 in the Taxi, which comes here on Friday, at popular prices with practically the same cost as seen here before at higher prices. "The Girl in the Taxi" has received the praise of the reviewers of Europe as well as in America, and upon the occasion of its first visit to this city scored one of the greatest hits the local theatrical season could boast of. Boston, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia endorsed the play in a very flattering manner and long runs were the rule in each of the above cities. The engagement in Chicago was originally for one month. The success scored by the play was so great that it continued for nine months, playing to the absolute capacity of the theatre. The cast this season has but few changes from that of last year, and the newcomers in the personnel of the company has been selected for the best interests of the play. Pearl Sindelar has the role of "The Girl," in which she scored in a very telling manner when the play was seen here last year. Roy Summer is making his first appearance in the role of Bertie Stewart, but his success all along the western tour has won him much popularity. Walter Morton, Margaret Baxter, Jules Ferrar, Jules Cuzetti, Marian Hutchison, Charles H. Pierson and many others are included in the very big company coming in the play to this city. Some of the people to whom THE PEOPLE is as regularly sent as it is issued—and that is every Saturday—act as though they are under neither legal nor moral obligations to pay for it; when, as a matter of fact they are under both. There is no law complying any one to receive THE APPEAL, but there is law to compel any one to pay for it who receives it, upon the principle of law that one must pay for anything he receives.

Very few lady composers have met with such great success as has Heni tretta Blanke-Belcher, who for the past ten years has been one of the principal writers for Jerome H. Remick & Co. She first made a reputation as a waltz writer, and some of her waltzes, especially the new "Polaire Waltzes", are having a world-wide popularity, a program of the coronation ball recently held in London these waltzes held the place of honor, being put on just before the introduction, and comment was made that it is a number on the dancing program written by an American composer. She has lately written some very high-class songs, and the song, Love Dreams, is one of the popular songs of the day. Her latest and probably her best song, My Only One, is, however, destined to outlival it in popularity, since it will appeal to almost all music lovers, and not alone to those who desire merit in the modern classics. The very best of the musical setting that Miss Belcher gave it, and will appeal to those who seek merit in both the words and music of a song. We append the refrain: The stars above may shine so bright, my only one! But you will be my guiding light, my only one! Your presence, dear, means more to me Than all the dreams of life to be; Your kiss is blissful ecstacy, My only one! My only one! Z. B.

What an excellent way that is, but how few of us adopt it. The most of us are like the Irishman who, seeing a crowd gathering a couple of blocks away, sent his son up there where there was going to be a fight, saying if there was he wanted to say, in it. But you answer me that "self-preservation is the first law of nature" and your idea of "self-preservation" is that you must do unto others as they do unto you, retaliation. If you nift me I will hit you. If you do something to me, I'll do something to you. This spirit is the spirit of the mob, it leads to murder, to lynching, burning at the stake. When you attempt to correct grievances by force you triumple your law and government under your feet and institute a state of amnesia! You and I rise in solemn protest if such a thing comes upon us. North or south, east or west, but why don't you protest when one of our hands breaks, when one with razor or revolver, with sandbag and brass knuckles and re-enforces himself with bad whiskey. These things are no additions to strength, they are weaknesses, and when, having found the trouble he's looking for, somebody eries, "Lynch him," it takes all the police force to prevent the disease. I want my people either to stop protesting against lawlessness or stop being lawless. Let's get consistent once before we die! We if we defy the law we must be prepared to take the consequences of that defiance. And I cannot see that broken heads and jails and penitentiary stripes are any kind of "self-preservation" from such kind of "self-preservation." I can't see that my people, branded citizens, can have their case helped by any man or class of men, any woman or class of women, who break the law and add so great as to be intolerable. Brother Elks, Protective Elks, your safety and my safety, the safety of our people, lies along the line, unmistakably, inadvertently along the line, of the unjusty of the law, the authority of government, the obedience to judicial decree and the rightful enmity and the saint of satire and I plead with you as to holding the destiny of my people in your hand, stand with me against every form of lawlessness and wrongdoing among us! And are we getting an erroneous idea that "protection" by a lodge is to be interpreted as "a shielding of crime and criminals," as an effort to keep guilty men from the clutches of the law?" Are we to let men entertain the destructive opinion that "my Lodge will be a cloak for my mischievous misdiding," that "I can do as I want," that "I can do anything about it," that "my lodge will be with me, right or wrong." What a nonsensical, what a criminal, ideal! Protection never means an indulgence of the wrong, it means a defense of the right. You and I can't safeguard our orders and do it! Union labor could defend McNamara brothers when they were presumed innocent. They poured in a half-million of money to see that they were acquired, to get the facts, but when they were accused, to crime Union labor demonstraction! And other course would be suicidal to Union labor, for law-abiding men cannot aid and abet and protect criminals! We want the presumption of innocence until guilt is proven, we want a defense because we believe in that innocence, but we are "outlawed," "conspirators" when we prevent the operation of law. We become the enemies to ourselves when we poison the springs by which we live. We kill our organizations when we pursue indefensible and illegal courses and we become that man's worst enemy when we fail to disbuse his mind of his incohered and selfishly criminal notion that all the machinery of the order or any part of it will be set in motion to prevent his punishment when we fail to disbuse him. No, no, gentlemen, you've got a reputation to sustain, you've got guiding principles to be followed, you've got a moral responsibility to be felt and a social obligation to be discharged. I want you to feel them keenly, measure up to them manfully, treat your order as the apple of your eye and stand against everything that would injure it, refrain from doing anything that would impair its uselessness or endanger its permanence and peace! Certainly one of our strongest claims for protection must be based upon our utility. Are we doing anything that's worth the while? Are we rendering ourselves indispensable? Are we so vitally connected with legitimate enterprise as that it cannot succeed so well without us? Are we a factor of any considerable value in the social economy? What are we doing that can not be so well done, or better done by common sense, but done by us in an uncommon way, is an argument in our behalf. The world is sure to find us if we can preach a better sermon, write a better book, make a better mousetrap, than anybody else, though we live in the desert, it will make to our hut a beaten path. Our continued tenure of cottage or continent is conditional upon our industry. The soil increases in value so rapidly that an idler, a laffer can't remain upon it. By the new principles of conservation, we are making everything more useful, turning wastes into wealth, arid lands into arable, marsh into meadow, storing surplus water against the hours of drought. You and I have made ourselves secure for all time when the community comes to believe that our service in any line of endeavor is superior, reliable, profitable to the community, to your employer, for it must be remembered that men are not in business to supply somebody with a job, but to make profit out of it. And, mind you, it's not the simple question of your "being used" for somebody else's profit, but it's a question of your utility for your own profit. For the interests of both are involved, for the benefit of the other, the failure of one, is the failure of the other. Take an interest in the business because it's to your advantage to do it, and it will help me, help your brethren, enable somebody to get into what before was closed to him, for profit takes precedence of prejudice always. Does that sound like strange protective doctrine? Why, the truth is that this is a really vital question that I discuss with you, for you and I, lodge ```markdown ``` and church, you and your family, I and mine, cannot exist, unless we have something to do, and we are sure to have less and less to do, unless we do better work, give more reliable service, put some brains into our business, cease to take advantage of patrons just because we can. of patrons to learn that when we are disheartened in them, we cutting out our noses to spite our own faces, that misappropriation now no appropriation after awhile. What do I mean? Just this, that when we are put out here and put out there, and the question arises why, Somebody says, prejudice. Now, prejudice might not admit you to the establishment of Mr. A, or B., but when once you've gotten there, and that business begins to pay better dividends because of your service than it has ever paid before, will prejudice put you out? Generally speaking gentlemen, we're wrong! Our utility, our indispensable service to that business, would keep us there forever, but you go backward instead of forward, if business loses instead of gains, what then? You've got to find an answer in the character of service. And if there is a business man or woman among you, if there is a student of industrial and social conditions among you, you know that I speak truly, the business men and women of color in its own and ask them why our people do succeed better, and they'll answer you one it's service, just the character of service. The barber can't find reliable trustworthy men, the head waiters of color can't get courteous, honest, waiters who won't talk too much. The grocery keepers cannot depend upon clerks and deliveryboys, the dressmakers promise goods today and deliver half done next week, there is not a woman in this house but knows that any kind of domestic service that's half way right, is practically impossible to get. Some colored employees say to me, that a colored man or woman will not do for his own people, what he'll do for others, it's sad if it's true. I do not know that it's true, I do know that it's becoming more and more difficult for us to get employment among who people, and you may not agree with that. I think that good cause is 9-10 to be found in our service, but way down deep in your hearts you know that it's difficult to get anybody to do for you as you can do for yourself. I beg of you, gentlemen, protect yourselves, your family, your community by your utility, by the character of the service you rendert. Again, your own character, what you are, is your best protection, that is, if it a good one. That what you have been given all along is that your moral type that's "impressed upon a man by the habitual exercise of noble emotions and a well trained will." You and I can live so well that nobody will come to ask you to betray your trust, to sacrifice your honor, to barter your rights; that nobody will approach you with proposals of dishonesty, indecency. Nobody will dare to suggest that you sell your birthright for a mess of pottage. And I tell you gentlemen this is the real, invaluable protection to you whether in lodge or family or community. You tell me that the law protects and so it does, or ought to. You tell me you protect yourself, and so you do, but I maintain still that you inflicteres to vital things, people, influence you to live law never reach. Within you are the issues of life, the life essence. No policeman or sheriff or judge, gets there but conscience and consciousness are there, sometimes making cowards of us all sometimes heroes, fearless when you know you're right, cringing when you know you're wrong. No fear of exposure when you're right, there's nothing to expose. No fear of full orbed light, when you're right, you love the light and sunshine. Gentlemen, that character, protects you from without, gives you peace within, it's a better attorney, than the most eloquent advocate, it's more convincing than the most effective plea, it carries greater weight than the testimony of witness. I say that character is greater than law, because if men had character we would need no law. Your complaint the delay, the chaundocution, the influence of money, the corruption of juries, the selling out of lawyers, the bias of judges, means what? Means, and means only, that men are devoid of character! The failure, the miscarriage of justice, is not in law, it's in men! But why should it be? There is no advantage in it, it breeds dissatisfaction, discontent, hatred, revolution. There is no economic advantage in it, it wastes money, time, energy. You and I should long for the time, pray for it, when men's protection will reside in good character. We should help that day to come, by being good ourselves and in lodges, in state, in church, in family, anywhere, everywhere encourages others to be so! Some day the heart panting for cooling streams come to the life giving water, and while he slaked his thirst a concealed hunter shot him through the heart. Some day Ponce de Leon, sought for the fabled water of youth, in which if a man should bathe, he would become young again, and while he was still engaged in the search an Indian arrow wounded him unto death. It's a true story of humanity, always getting ready to live, always in the shadow of death. Some day you and I congratulate ourselves upon our security, and an uninvited visitor, seats himself in our presence, stares us out of contenance freezes the blood in our veins. The gavel of the Exalted Ruler drops from his palsied hand, the sword of the guard falls heavily to the floor, the book of the chaplain lies unread upon the altar, the hum of life is stilled in the silence of death. 4 SUITS PRESSED VALET TAILORING CO 156 E.
