in was concerning the l. B. p. o. e.
of w. concerning the auxiliary of the

article in the Republican is was very
much of surprise to me as to where
any one of the reporters of the Repub-
lican to get such lie, as to what one
side of the Elks should say regarding
the ladies' connection.
1t is an understood fact that every
Elk owes allegiance and obedience,
within the bounds of his obligations,
to the parent body of the grand lodge
