HOW THE ELKS
 CAME TO BE
What it Means to be an Elk as
 Told by Magazine Writer

Just after the Civil War there was in New York a certain crowd of young men for the most part connected III one way or another with the dramatic profession, who met in a room every Sunday night and called themselves the Jolly Corks. One gathers from the existing data regarding this group that performers in the variety theatres of that day predominated in it's mem bership. In pamphlet issued over the name of one of the charter mem bers of the Elks, the late George w.. Thompson, the origin of the order is described. Having attended a meet ing of the Jolly Corks at the invitation of one of the regular attendants, he writes:
 "I remember we passed a very en- joyable evening and dispersed with an agreement to meet on the following Sunday. Brothers Riggs and McDon- aid left with me and the latter said: This thing is better than a mere jolly crowd and will one day amount to something"
 The possibilities for the frightening of at least one evening a week af foreded by an Elks' lodge was borne in upon me one day last summer in Kansas City. I was in casual conver- sation with the manager of one of the by committee from the Elks who in- vited "the company and friend to come to the Elks' Club to a party after the end of the show The same invitation went to every theatre in town. Sightseeing automobiles went to the stage doors and collected the guests. principals. comedians, high and low, juveniles, chorus girls and all. There was a supper spread in the Dutch grill room. There was song and recital in the great lodge room above until well along till dawn. There wasn't anybody who went home with out sort of pity for those who had not come. It gave one a deeper re- gard for the order to know that all over the United States there were nearly twelve hundred other lodges of .EIks, each of them doing what it could afford to do toward being happy and making the rest of the world feel happy and reducing the sum of hu- man misery insofar as material help will reduce it-F'rom 'The Best People on Earth in the August Metropolitan Magazine.

Says He Sought TO Pre-
vent Personal Attacks,
Which he Was Told
Would be Made in
Advertisements

Correspondence was made public
last night that during the day passed
between Chairman Edmund Mitchell
OF the Republican State Committee,
and Colonel Theodore Townsend, edi-
tor OF the Milford Chronicle, relative
TO the rejection by Colonel Townsend
of an advertising contract in cOnnec-
tion with the campaign IN Milford
and Cedar Greek hundreds. A COM
mittee Of citizens had placed an ad-
vertisement Offering $4,000 reward for
the conviction of election bribers. II
was printed in the Chronicle, and af-
terward Colonel Townsend returned
the money for the rest Of the adver-
tising space contracted for.
Colonel Townsend's letter to Chair
man Mitchell explains his position
fully and puts a new light on the
situation. The correspondence is as
follows:
Wilmington, Del, Oct. 10, 1910.
Colonel Theodore Townsend, Editor
Milford Chronicle, Milford, Della
ware:
Dear Sir:-The attention of this
committee has been called 10 articles
which have recently appeared in the
public press detailing correspon-
dence between yourself and G.. Layton
Grier of Sussex county. II has been
made to appear that your attitude in
this controversy was in the nature OF
a defense Of the use of money at cleo
tions, and while a close perusal OF
this correspondence does not carry
out this assumption, still the Demo
cratic newspapers have attempted to
so construe Il. Your attention is
called to this matter because # is
the policy and will be the practice of
this committee and the Republican
party to adhere strictly TO the declara-
tion OF our State platform which is
against the improper use Of Nancy
AT elections. Feeling that your ac-
tion should be I'm harmony with the
party declarations. II is thought desir-
able that you should define your pres
ent position during this campaign az
well as the circumstances which arc
the cause of this controversy.
Very truly yours,
Edmund Mitchell,
Chairman Republican State Com
mittee.
