Leroy Wilson left last Friday
evening for Denver, intending to
return the first of the week, but
word announcing that he was not
able to make the return trip
reached here Wednesday morning,
and his son, Walter, left on the
evening train, expecting to remain
in Denver until his father was
able to come home. Mr.. Wilson
had been feeling i'll for some time
before he left, but thought that
perhaps the change would prove
beneficial. We join his many
friends in the hope that he will be
able to return soon, and better
than ever.

hrst-class repair at once. dividing
it so that the west side can be used
for dwelling and the east front as
a wall paper and paint room, while
Chas. lavender will occupy the
rear as a paint shop. We are glad
to see this old building pass into
hands that will fix it up in present
able shape as it has been the Main
street eye-sore for 10, these many
years.
Most Republicans would, per-
haps, prefer that the Democrats
should name Mr.. Bryan, because
he has already been beaten twice
and another defeat looks easy; but
however he might run in other
states, he can probably poll more
votes in Colorado than any other
Democrat, so when Judge Gray,
Governor johnson or some other
likely looking youngster is named
for the race we won't especially
care.
We would like to announce in
next weeks Chronicle that Marshal
Gibbs had removed all of the loose
tin and other unsightly rubbish
from our business streets, as well
as having repaired the broken

we will.

committee is composed of Eleon Pen

assurance that the finances of the or
ganization will be carefully looked
after is evidenced by glance at the
following committee which is in charge
of that important detail comprising r..
w. Armstrong, F. c. Wolff and w. G.
Miller.
Brother C. c. Patton of No. 906 sends
greetings to the boys from his sick bed
in the emergency hospital, Los Angeles,
where he Is nursing a broken thigh as
the result of a railroad accident several
weeks ago. Pat" as he is better
known by, is one of the brightest mo
tormen on the Los Angeles-Pacific rail-
road and is one of the most popular
members of the beach herd of Elks. He
is taking his medicine like a good Elk
without f1inching, and he would be glad
to have the boys drop in on him for a
hello, Bill" to help him while away
the dreary wait for the bones to knit.
Eleven candidates were elected to
membership in No. 906 this week.
Among them were A. r. Fraser and
w. H. Anderson of Ocean Park. An
extra sized goat is having his horns
sharpened and pointed in readiness for
the newcomers, and 1t is understood
that the next set of initiates will get
all InaI Is coming TO IneHl OH the last
Thursday of the month when the

associates.
Past Exalted Rulers w. G. Miller and
p. S. Lindsey have been named dele
gate and alternate respectively to rep
resent Santa Monica No. 906 at the
forthcoming grand lodge convention
which meets in Dallas, Tex, in July.
The delegates will join their voices
with the brothers of SO and other lodges
of the state to pull for Los Angeles as
the herding ground for the ensuing
grand lodge convention in 1909.
Brother Murray M. Steele, the newly
appointed captain of the working team,
is getting together a husky lot of Elks,
who will see that candidates get all
that is coming to them while suffering
the mysteries which enshroud the path
way of Elkdom. A dozen or more ap-
plicants will soon have their brows
fitted to wear the antlers, and several
lively initiation ceremonies are among
the prospects of the immediate future.
Since the temporary reduction of the
initiative fee to $25 in February total
of thirty-two applications for member
ship have been received by the local
lodge and by the time the near-Elks
have leared the true ways of the herd
the lodge will boast of nearly $50 mem-
bers in the beach towns. At a recent
session it was determined to extend the
rate to the end of July, at which time
the fee win be raised to $50, which is
the figure formerly in force. The dues
win remain $12 year indefinitely.

BENEVOLENT AND PRO-
TECTIVE ORDER OF ELKS

Much satisfaction is expressed over
the surprising headway made by Santa
Monica lodge No. 906 toward securing
control of the stock of the Elk Hall
association. A dozen of the brethren
started stock shower a short time ago
with the result that an even seventy
shares whose par value amounts to
$3.50 have been donated to the lodge.
Other acquisitions have been made
through the purchase of shares with
the proceeds of the recent carnival
which realized more than 800, so that
the total sum of outstanding stock In
the association at present amounts to
but forty-seven shares. These also will
shortly be acquired, and then it is on
the program to remodel the Arizona
avenue club house so that ample space
may be provided for a commodious
lodge room In the same structure.
e. V. Dales, Ben s. Hunter and c. A.
Tegner have been appointed a COM
mittee to arrange for an outing at
Cheney's ranch in Toponga canyon
early in July. Since Brother G. c.
Cheney was fitted with a handsome
set of antlers a short time ago he has
been urging the beach herd to visit the
mountain Businesses surrounding his
home, and 1t was finally determined
by Exalted Ruler J. c. Hemingway to
call his bluff. The committee will look
the ground over to see that there are
no pitfalls open, and they will also OBJ
serve what is lacking in the matter of
birch bark, young saplings and other
succulent herbs upon which Elks de-
light to feed in order that a commits
'sary supply containing the articles of
diet lacking may be forwarded by pack
train to the ranch house in time for
the roundup.
A. F. Webster of Ocean Park, who
had been suffering for a year or more
from what was believed to have been
stomach trouble, has returned from an
eight weeks visit to a hospital in
derwent a surgical operation, which
disclosed a state of chronic appen-
dicitis which the surgeons declared to
be the most aggravated case of it's kind
that had come within their notice. A
double operation was performed and
the diseased tissue was successfully re-
moved, since which time Webster has
made rapid strides toward a complete
recovery of his old-time health and
strength.
Chaplain c. 7. Noyes of No. 906 is one
of the most gifted orators among the
Elk fraternity in California. The
"judge," as he is best known because
of the distinction formerly held by him
upon the bench in Boston, Mass, is a
practicing attorney and busy man,
although his legal duties are never per-
mitted to interfere with the pleasure
he takes in serving Elkdom whenever
and wherever the occasion arises.
Santa Monica lodge No. 906 is
equipped with an unusually strong set
of officials to carry the affairs of the
beach organization along during the
ensuing year. They are as follows:
Exalted ruler, ]. C. Hemingway; es-
teemed leading knight, r. w. Arm
strong; esteemed lecturing knight, A.

Advice to the Negro

Editor Tho Washington Herald
From my viewpoint l assign the fol-
lowing reasons why the Republican party
should elect its candidate for President
and a good majority Of the House OF
Representatives:
First-Because there Is no real Demo
cratic party to vote for.
second-Beeause the Republican party
stands for the equal rights OF all the
people while the pseudo Democratic
party Of to-day stands for hate. oppres-
sion, abuse lynching. jimcrowing. and, in
fact, everything that tends 20 degrade.
hinder enslave. debase. and prevent the
progress of ten million Of our patriotic.
loyal, and brave natural born citizens.
Third-Because the Republican party
stands like stone wall for ali the rights
OF all the people. while the Democratic
party Of to-day stands for all that II stood
for in 1851
Republicans should elect a good major
ity OF the House of Representatives. be-
cause il the Democrats should happen 10
get majority there would be great
danger 10 our free institutions; danger
10 the wOrkingman's chances 10 rise.
And II would be very dangerous %
the rights guaranteed 10 the people by
the amendments TO the Constitution
The DemOcratic party Of to-day is false.
because Il has departed from the princi-
pies Of Washington, jefferson. and Madi-
son. who warned the people OF this
country against slavery, oppression. and
all Of It's damaging effects upon our free
institutions
The handspring Of the Democratic party
Of to-day IS % close the door OF hope
against the negro. Then why should he
be advised 20 vote the Democratic ticket.
directly against his chances 20 advance
in the higher walks OF life as a citizen
Of the United States? To bolt. and help
the Democratic party 70 crush him, would
be political suicide The major sentiment
of the Democratic party is voiced by
Tillman. Nardaman. and Heffiln. Ny ad-
vice 20 the negro is. Rather suffer the
ills he has than 10 fly 70 greater evils.
which he knows OF In the Democratic
party.
These are my reasons for warning the
negro against trusting the Democratic
party with power The time has not come
when the color OF a voters skin should
cease 10 be an index 10 his politics.
