Here is the Presidents letter to
Judge Melvin:
The White House.
Washington, March 8. 1907
Ny Dear Judge Melvin:
am not an Elk, but the writer
of the enclosed letter is, l have a
very full appreciation Of the inn
mense amount of good done by this
great social and benevolent order.
all the more regret that the noblest
remaining of our wild creatures
should be threatened with destruc-
tion, primary because OF the Gus
tom which has grown up in the order
Of wearing elks tusks as the emblem
of the order. Killing elks for the
tusks has now become regular
trade. Most of the killing is illegal;
and in almost every case the car
cass, containing hundreds of pounds
of good meat, it left to one of
the most beautiful and stately Gre
atures Of the wilderness being
turned to mere carrion, so that its
teeth may he worn on the chnsa OF
well-meaning man, who does not
take the trouble to think of the sin-
ful waste and destruction caused by
the qualification OF his whim. AItho
not an Ella. at one time a number
of years ago wore as an ornament
on my watchchain peculiarly fine
elks' tusk belonging to a big bull /
had shot. But altho it was my
trophy gave up wearing 1t when
i found the widespread destruction
that the custom OF wearing these
tusks was causing. Is 1t not possi-
but that your order. which has done
so much for uplifting American citi-
zenshfp and for rendering life
among so many of our people both
easier and happier, may now come
to the front again in rendering the
service to our whole people that
would be rendered by the abolition
of this destructive custom?
Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
In closing his circular, Judge Mel
vim uses the following patriotic Ian
guage;
And now, my brothers. since this
subject has been called to our all
tention so foreibly. not only BY. the
press, but by the Legislature OF q
great state and by the honored ex-
eeutive head Of our nation, let us do
our part manfully. Let us refrain
from purchasing these trophies Of
wanton slaughter. and at our next
grand lodge session. let us forbid the
use Of elks' teeth as emblems OF our
order, that teaches and practices
gentleness and kihdliness such a
course may involve the laying aside
Of priced trinkets by some Of our
brothers, just as the President put
away the guerdon OF his skin as a
hunter, but we can we not agtord 10
make such sacrifice to save some OF
Gods innocent Wild creatures Lei
Us consider this subject, remember-
ing coleridge's immortal words
He. prayeth wen who loveth wen
Both man and bird and beast
He prayeth best Who loveth best
All things both great and small:
