AMONG THE LODGES
Items of Interest From the Various
Haunts of the Goat.

The ladies of the Degree OF Poca-
hontas had a somewhat remarkable
meeting Monday evening at the Red
Men hall. A special class OF nine
teen candidates was received and a
number voted upon to receive the
degree at a later meeting. Following
the close of the business meeting a
valentine social was held and great
box gave OF its treasure to every one.
Music and dancing formed the re-
mainder of the evenings entertain-
ment.
The regular meeting of the Won,
ans Relief Corps yesterday after.
noon was one of unusual interest,
made so because of the good results
of work and the special efforts put
forth by the ladies. The first event
OF unusual interest occurred when a
great chest of silver, the property of
the Corps, was brought into the hall.
for the ladies TO examine. All felt
justly proud of the treasure knowing
that in some way each had contribut-
ed to the funds for its purchase. The
chest contains eight dozen knives,
eight dozen forks and eight dozen
spoons. All of the best silver. 1t is
splendid piece of property. After
the meeting was over the chest was
returned to the vault for safe keep
ing.
The next thing OF interest was the
giving out of the certificate OF the
Francis Scott Key Association. Thir-
ty names of the order had been pre-
scented by Mrs. Ida Workman, each

Too Much Executive Committee i'm

This grand old commonwealth is suffering
grievously from an overdose of executive
committee. The Joe Brown committee of
1910 was almost as usurpatory as the Hoke
Smith committee of 1908 Those worthy gen
tlemen have no right to meet in secret session
and change the laws governing elections. It
is for the convention to do that Executive
committees have no right to legislate They
should not usurp functions which belong to

The province of an executive committee is
to fix the dates Of the elections, the time and

Why the Socialists Want the Negro
to Have the Right to Vote

Out in Oklahoma, good many honest, pa
triotic men have been fooled into believing
that the yare Socialists. They have been de-
celved by such papers as the appeal to Redson
and the Oklahoma Pioneer.
If some of them don't get their eyes open
ed, however, by the circular which carries the
name of Oscar Ameringer, and which sets
forth the reasons why the Socialists want the
negroes to vote, will be disappointed. The
second line of the circular reads:
Eff the black man has enough sense to feed,
clothe and shelter mankind, then he has
enough sense to vote'
That kind of logic lowers intelligent, edu-
Gated people to the level of coolies. The very
lowest type of working Chinaman or Hindu
does far more work, and does it better, than
does the average negro. Reasoning which
abolishes the distinction made between the
races, simply contradicts the handwriting of
God Almighty. Those who hold that the
lower and inferior races should be put on
social and political equality with the great
white race are enemies to our civilization.
Another sentence in this circular reads:
eve Socialists are as blind as bats concerning
race, color, or nationality All we see is
classes and class interests" [ am glad that
the Socialists of Oklahoma have come out with
that admission. Fanatics who can't see that
the Creator himself made some races inferior
to others are indeed as blind as bats The
fact that these Socialists admit that they are
as blind as bats to things that you and [ know
to be facts makes it all the more necessary
that you and [ should keep our eyesight.

all sure that Hewlette Hall and Governor
Brown do not owe their defeat mainly to the
new rules of 1910.
1t is altogether wrong for executive com

voter. Instead of being INSTRUCTED in the ex-
ercise of his franchise by complicated rules,
which are changed every couple of years, we
ought to have simple provision, which per-

CANNOT LOCATE PARENTS
OF GIRL FATALLY BURNED

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 2S.-
while Mr.. and Mrs. F. p. Willard or
Heber, Imperial valley, are enjoying
themselves somewhere In Southern
california their 14-year-old daughter
Rebecca, lies dead at their home from
burns received Friday. Today the OF
ficers of this city were asked by the
authorities of Imperial county TO TO-
cate if possible the girls parents, VINO
are ignorant of her death, and VINO are
supposed to be visiting friends IN san
Bernardino. s -
A search of this city has failed so
far to reveal their presence, and II is
believed that they have not yet ar
lived here from the coast, where they
nlanned to spend a few days. They
left their home, according to nelgnpors,
with the intention of taking in the
beach resorts and then coming on TO
San Bernardino, where they were TO
visit friends, whose names are un-
known.
The girl, the telegram to the local OF
ficers SAYS, was burning ants about
the yard with kerosene, as she hao
frequently seen her father do. Think.
ing the fire from the first sprinkle OF
oil was out she poured some more
about the place where the ants were
syarrning. In an instant the flames
Ieaped to the can held in her hands,
which exploded, throwing burning OIL
on her clothing. Before neighbors
could extinguish the flames she re-
ceived burns that resulted in her deatn
a few hours later.
