August IL, 19O0.--Friend Howard. Last
Saturday night had the pleasure of wit
Messing a game OF baseball between the
U. G. rs and the T. P. AS under the
brilliant electric light The boys OF tho
i. Z. A. were dressed as ballet girls AMI
the U. C. It's were splendid representa-
ton OF the world renowned "hayseed .
| must say it was the most aughab.e per-
Torrance ever Witnessed The young
ladies' OF San Antonio sat in the grand
stand and gazed with envy when the :
realized that man. dressed in woma II 5
clothes. could be so graceful and attrac-
tive and create compliments on the r
beauty and well gotten up costumes.
When the umpire's voice rang out in "call
the game" the band struck up that ever
popular piece "At Georgia Camp Meet
ing, and the ballet girls" and the "hay-
seeds came in in couples to the delight
OF me audience and amid roars of laugh
Ter from the immense crowd giving us a
splendid and humorous cake walk When
the game was begun and the hail was
thrown to the bases the baseman wolld
invariably miss the ball and catch the

must say the post of San Antonio de-
serves the praise of all the commerc "a
men of the State, and the citizens of San
Antonio should feel proud of her many
nospltable and enterprising commercial
men would suggest that Fort Worth
and Dallas get UP just such a game and /

The Secretary to "I<nocicr" r..

To have "knocker' find fault with this
or that and to deal in generalities is quite
the ordinary method, but the exception
came to the front last Sunday under the
heading of GAS to Proxies"
He states that "the fate of claims IL in
the hands of the executive committee:
that it has been the custom for members
of that committee to delegate their au-
thorty to each other and the secretary
and that this is done for the purpose OF
facilitating the payment OF claims and
other business" In other words he i'm
plies that the most important work OF our
officers Is by them, over the proxy route
turned over to one or two for action. The
statement not only conveys wrong i'm
preston. but is entirely drawn from the
Imagination. There has not been a claim
presented to the Texas division during the
present secretarys three terms of Office
that has not been passed upon by from
three to twelve members of the directory
There has never in that time been a claim
approved or rejected unless the same bore
the signature OF at least three directors
none of whom signed in capacity OF a
proxy. The fate of claims does moi de-
pend upon the action of the executive
ion of one director is as good as another
and a claim approved or rejected by any
three directors has had action in ac ODD
with our constitution. 1t would be dan
getous and concentrate TOO great an au-
thority on any individual were the ssser-
ton that such matters are handled by
proxy" a correct one.
The secretary. like a large percentage
OF our members is travelling man aqd
much OF his work is done while on the
road. Such being the case many applica-
lions for membership are acted upon away
from State headquarters. All applica-
tions must be indorsed by two members
of the division in good standing. This in
dorsement with all questions properly
answered upon the application makes it
easy to decide upon the eligibility of an
applicant. and for the purpose of hasten
ing the issuance of certificate. and put
ting the applicant, where his benefits may
be In force with least possible delay, it
has been a custom for the secretary to
use proxies that We're given him for this
sole purpose and none other. Many conn
plimentary remarks have come to our at
tention on account of the prompt Issuance
OF new certificates, and which the custom
mentioned made possible, IT, however.
there is any question as to the eligibility
Of an applicant, his application is always
acted upon by several directors before
acceptance or rejection
Aside from the proxies that are author
l2ed by the constitution with reference t.
one director representing another at di-
rectors meetings, the proxy is never
used Fraternally, James II. Ludlow,

The Texas division of the I. y. A. Is
credited with having the most elegant han
ner in the National association. This
thing of art and beauty belongs % rnst
j at Fort Worth and was designed ly
Frank l.. Jordan, ex-president II the
post. For the past eight years this ban
ner has been carried to every State ard
National convention and always gets a
hearty applause whenever it IS borne
through the streets of the convention city.
The Benevolent League needs a neat
banner. Would 1t not be a ne idel for
the ladies-whose husbands are Iayllg no

this matter and let us hear from Thorn?

Travelling Men for Brvan

Grant Eghert, travelling salesman. who
makes mis- headquarters at Wicbita, Kan,
says that on a Santa Fe train coming out
of Wichita recently there were numler
OF drummers. In the course of converse
ton the question of politics was taken up.
A proposition was made 10 poll the trav-
cling men on the train. There were If
ty-eight OF them, Fifty declared in ',.vcr
Of Bryan. OF the fifty thirty-six announced
that they had voted for Mckinley in 1896
This seems TO be the condition that exists
all over the West. The travelling men
this year are not voting for the republican
candidates

The Texas division has an opportunity
TO win lame during the coming year and
10 be power at the next National con-
vention. 1t has become strong by virtue
OF the energies that characterize its lead
ing members and by the tangible results
that stand to its credit 1t has grown
from an obscure membership Id the last
few years to fourth in point OF members
in the National association. II has TO its
credit that IL gave to the National asso-
citation the most influential Christia ian
worker that ever had charge of the moral
end of any organization This In the
parsonage OF the Rev. Homer T. Wilson,
our recent National chaplain. In all PARIS
OF the country various churches have eject
ed memorial windows dedicated 10 the
travelling men, getting the idea from the
original one established in the Third
Christian church at Fort Worth. 1t is to
the credit of this division that the Ben
eNolent League was originated, which has
for its object the immediate relief OF the
beneficiary Of a deceased brother at death
from any source whatever. An idea that
is being copied and put into execution by
other divisions in the association The
le&as division is also credited with lead
ing all other States in the get-up of its
weekly press columns fact that is max
ing the division prominent throughout the
whole country, At every convention this
division is credited with many compii-
ments to individuals and chalrmen OF
committees, showing conclusively that
merit and energy will assert themselves
IL is. therefore, that we again say after
briefly noticing a few OF the reasons that
the Texas boys will simply have con-
hdenee in themselves and stand together
and Keep pushing, they can be power In
the next National convention.
