Charity is the first cornerstone of
thia lodge. Charity is the divine
spirit that walks the earth with mor-
tals, encouraging every noble im-
pulse by loving forgetfulness of every
evil one. It is found at the bedside
of the Buffering, touching with love

It may be that a little story or two
would better illustrate the Elk char-
acter in the practice of this great prin-
ciple, which might run like this:

and her children. No soldier helding

good and evil, of weakness and
strength, have made a world of rare
stronger in the face of disaster and
death. It is not the quality of weak-
lings nor of the poor in spirit. There
is no room for it in warped and twisted
natures. It is the crown of a two-
fisted manhood that has been schooled
in the university of the world. It is
the living force in the lodge of every
Elk. Above all differences, it rises
like a white flame. Where brotherly
love exists, all troubles are minor trou-
bles, and where it is found, the bugle
call of human need finds springing in
swift response the answer of human
aid. This is brotherly love a* Elkdom
knows it.
The fourth cornerstone is fidelity.
Elkdom demands fidelity to decency,
to cleanliness, to the American home
and to the ideals that are the foun-
dations of American citizenship and
American development. These are in-
tegral parts of the Elk s creed. The
power of American manhood, if it. is
to last down the ages to come, must
be linked with clear thinking and sim-
ple hearts; it must be the power of
men who keep the faith. These are
days of stress in America, at the end
of the years of stormy change—days
when in the world upheaval every
principle on which this government is
founded is being tested to its utmost

this morning. Those in charge of the
food exposition are making prepara-
tions to take care of large crowds
throughout the week.
In addition to the demonstration*
and displays of the food products
manufactured by the four firm* put-
ting on the exposition, coffee, all forms
of baked goods and chili product* will
be served to those visiting the food
show. The coffee served will be
furnished by local coffee roasters, The
Austin-Taylor Company and the John
Bremond Company. The bread and
bakery products will be furnished by
the Bon Ton, Butler and Maerki
bakeries. The chili and meat products
served will be furbished by the Walk-
er Properties Association.
The bread and all bakery’ goods will
be baked from "Austin Maid Flour,”:
milled by the Quality Mills. The
Quality Mills installed special machin-
ery at a great cost to product a flour
that would meet the requirement* of
the bakeries of Austin and Southwest
Texas. Bakeries in Texas generally
buy their flour supplies from hard
wheat milling companies of the
Middle Western States.
The four companies' arranging the
Home Froducts Food Show are
anxious for every person in Austin to
visit the exposition during the week.

be done immediately to remedy a situ-
ation of crowded schools and lack of
space to give pupils proper instruction.
School method* have changed from
those of a generation ago and present
method* call for a modern system of
school buildings and an adequate
physical plant, leaders of the bond
campaign point out. Education is ex-
panding rapidly and today more sub-
jects and curricula of varied ranges
are embraced in the program of public
school education.
John H. Keen, advertising manager
of The Austin Statesman and chair-
man of the speaker* committee in the
bond election campaign, will speak on
the need of improved roads in Travis
county. Mr. Keen will point out the
value of better roads as an investment
to the merchants and citizens of Austin
and Travis county and the benefits
that, will redound Lo the various com-
munities from a commercial and social
standpoint from better roads. It is
anticipated that Mr. Keen will go into
extended detail in his explanation of
the many phases of the road bond
issue, how the bonds are to be sold and
the manner in which the money will
be expended, the awarding of road con-
tracts and other details entering into
the financing and construction of im-
proved highways in Travis county.
Mr. Keen will probably point out
that voting the road bonds at this time
is sound business policy, since it will
enable the commissioner* court of
Travis county to secure state and fed-
eral aid of two dollars for every dollar
that the county will put up for the
construction and improvement of des-
ignated state highways. The speaker
is also expected to bring out the tact
that the county is at present spending
about $26/000 annually for the replace-
ment of wooden drainage structure*
which are washed out by the freshets
every year, and that this sum can be
saved the taxpayers by providing a
system of concrete structures which
need not be replaced every’ year and
which will call for practically no main-
tenance.
Dr. J. L. Henderson, professor of
secondary education at the University
of Texas, will speak on the school
bonds. Dr. Henderson is perhaps the
best Informed person in Texas on
the status of the public schools, sine*
he served for some years a* visitor of
schools when the University of Texas
hd charge of the affiliation work.
News of the death of Mrs. Annie
Boles. in Taylor, last Tuesday ha*

Mrs Boles was 82 years of age and
is survived by a daughter, Mrs. T. C.

Mrs. Gillogiy. of New Orleans.
Funeral services were held last
Thursday at the home of Mrs. C .M.

Church ip Taylor, Rev. Theodore
Drees officiating. Interment was is

Members of the Benevolent Protec-
tive Order of Elks all over the nation
Sunday paused from their customary
activities long enough to pay respect
to their departed members in memo-
rial services held at the same hour
in the various cities and towns where
Elkdom is existent.
Austin Lodge No. 201 held memorial
service* Sunday afternoon at the
Hancock Opera House for its departed
members, which were featured by the
annual eulogy by Edmunds Travis
and an address on "Elkdom” by City
Attorney J. Bouldin Rector.
A crowd was present to hear the roll
of honor called by Captain C. B.’An-
derson, secretary of the local Elks
lodge.
Dr. George Green, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Austin, deliv-
ered both the invocation and the ben-
•diction. Several appropriate musical
numbers were given.
G. A. Sievers gave a violin solo
accompanied at the piano by Mr*.
Sievers, and Mr*. George C. Seawell
sang a soprano solo accompanied by
Mrs. Charles N. Bustin Jr. Miss
Emma Morehead sang "Evening and
Morning" (by Stricker) with Miss
Anna Van Ness playing the piano ac-
companiment. The Longhorn quar-
tet. comprising John A. Stevenson,
William Camp, Anton H. Berkman
and Louis Dunbar, also sang an ap-
propriate number. Miss Georgia
Dancy gave a reading entitled "The
Rose Still Grows Beyond the Wall,"
by A. D. Fink. The service was offi-
cially closed with officers of the lodge
and the audiende singing the ode
“Auld Iang Syne."
Officers of the local lodge* are:
Henry Wendlandt, exalted ruler; Leo
Mueller, esteemed leading knight; J.
W. Owens, esteemed loyal knight;
Tom Atlee. esteemed loyal knight; C.
B. Anderson, secretary; A. W. Gard-
ner, esquire; E. H, Belcher, tiler; J.
J. St. George, chaplain; W. R. Arm-
strong. inner guard; C. T. Harrison,
organist; H. W. McKean/ treasurer.
The memorial committee in charge
of the ceremonies comprised Howard
W. McKean, chairman; A .W. Griffith,
1. R- Cornwell, C. B. Anderson, W.
R. Armstrong, Louis Novy, R F. Ba-
son, B. W. Hall, S N. Lckdahl and
Arthur E. Biard.
"The roll of. our honored dead has
been lengthened this .year by three
names, known and respected, not only
throughout our own community, but
widely beyond it* borders,” said Mr.
Travis. "Yet these names were borne
by men who never sought the great
world's praise. Each was a quiet
builder of Austin, to whom wide recog-
nition came as an inevitable incident
to unusual ability and worthy achieve-
ment.”
Of Dr. R. J. Brigg*, the speaker said,
in part:
"He was a man with power to move
the simple and the sage. A man of
deep thought, informed by faith and
directed by brotherly love. He would
have succeeded in any field demanding
gifted pen or golden speech. He hos
the noblest, and won therein inesti-
mable victories. No man among us
was better loved, nor any better loved
his fellow man.”

counsel and dependable strength. He
was a man relied on by all sorts and
conditions of men to show them their
way out of doubt* and difficulties. He
not only showed a great many the
road to success, but helped them along
it. He was a man of action, but, also,
a man of thought, a man of strength,
but one who could understand and
was willing help weaker men.‘*
Of S. E. Rosengren, the speaker
said that his “ruling passion was
loyalty.”
"He was intensely loyal—lgyal to
his country, his family, his friend*
and hi* conscience. He was by na-
ture modest and unassuming; yet
would put himself forward where duty
or sympathy called. He was tenderly
sympathetic, pained by the sufferings
of others. Where he trusted, he
trusted implicitly, and he was always
anxious to trust and to tbink the best
to those with whom he came into
contact,"
J. Boulden Rector spoke as fol-
low* :

of years that men have worked and
loved, fought and died, they have

lett, but declined to say how long the
insurgents expected to hold out.
"Our real fight.” he said, “will
come later when we seek to modify
rules.”
The Democrats in both the house
and senate were ready to take advan-
tage, both political and legislative,
of the split in the ranks of the ma-
jority and to that end their leaders
had marshaled their forces to the
support of their program.
The senate Democrat* also held
a conference during the morning,
elected Senator Robinson of Arkan-
sas, as Democratic floor leader and
selected a slate of candidates for sen-
ate offices.
The Republican senators at a meet-
ing last week had re-elected Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, as their
leader.
Senator Pittman of Nevada was
nominated as the Democratic candi-

icine bottles. Then, with a breath of
warm humanity, the still white room
j was invaded by laughing, story-tell-
ing, joking pen. In the center of the
ward, like magic, rose a Christmas
tree, green and crimson, and bright
with spangles. Mysterious white
package* tied with purple ribbon—
Elk doin’s purple and white—banked
about the tree. In through the door-
way romped a fat and jolly Santa

and wholesome, hearty laughter—then
gifts and tales and frolic, that brought
smiles even to the weary nurses of

Christmas'. These and many, many
more—"old stuff" to the Newspaper
boys, "old stuff,” but ever new. This
is not the charity of the ‘Pharisee; it
is Elkdom* conception of charity—
the charity you will find in the hearts
that beat beneath plain coats, whose
lapel* gleam with tiny antlers of gold.
Another cornerstone- is justice. Rare-
ly the Elk uses the stilted word. He
phrases it roughly and slangily. "Give
him a square deal,” says one, "fair
play,” says another, "don’t hit be-
low the belt,” say* still another, and
yet in all this curious phrasing, justice
is wbat they mean. Elkdom is against
caste and snobbery. Elkdom stands
against the crook and trickster every-
where. Elkdom teaches, and Ute true
Elk believes, that to each man, re-
gardless of his birth or belief, should
be given the reward of his hands and
brain. Elkdom is against oppression
in high places, whether by government
or from the mighty seats of the rich,
and it has equally consecrated it* life
and labors to an eternal crusade
against the sordid and sinister influ-
ences that would sow discontent and
strange notions and anarchy in the
hearts of those who labor with their
hands. ‘ This is the justice of Elkdom.
Brotherly love is another corner-
stone. It is more than friendship. It
la th© bond that welds men together
bonds of brotherhood. Numberless
are the orders that have arisen, num-
berless their purposes, some sinister,
some good. Many have perished,
their records and their memories lost
in the dust of the ages. Some have
survived, their origin buried in dim
tradition. The starlit bills of the
olden East, the sands of Egypt be-
fore the pyramids reared their heads
against the African sky. the forests
of Europe before the Roman came, the
glade* and heaths of Britian before
th© Phoenician touched its shores—
all these have known the gatherings
of hrotherhood after brotherhood; for
the instinct of fraternalism has al-
ready been strong in the heart* of
men.
I shall not speak of those fraterni-
ties, and they are legion, whose gene-
*13 came out of the lusts and baser
passions of mankind and whose lives
have ended in a turmoil of blood and
steel, nor of those that stalk the
earth today that must die because
they are unworthy. It is an inter-
esting study, but must have no place
here. I speak in this hour of a great
and good order of men, brought to-
gether by the complexes of thi
latter life, with high and noble pur-
poses to serve mankind.
In a cheap boarding house in New
York City, where less than a dozen
actors were wont to meet on Sunday
afternoons, now fifty odd years ago,
the Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks had its humble beginning.
Within a scant half century, this
order has grown to a million loyal
members, devoted to the cause of that
brotherhood; and why? It is be-
cause Elkdom Lb founded upon four
great cornerstones—Charity, Justice,
Brotherly Love, Fidelity—four-square,
Elkdom stands before the world, bdilt
upon these.
Many a race is there, many a creed.
From the far lands of the earth have
come the forefather* of the men who
meet today beneath the symbol of
