new YORK CAMPAIGN
DISCUSSED BY LEADERS
Republican County Chairmen
Meet With william
Barnes, Jr.

NEW YORK, August 3.-Republican n
county chairmen from this state met at
republican state headquarters here today
to discuss campaign matters with State
Chairman William Barnes jr.. and with
Newton L. Lewis, chairman of the cxecu-
tive committee.
In addressing the assembled chair
men, Mr.. Barnes laid stress on the fact
that the selection of republican nomi-
nee for governor was an open question in
which, he said, personally / have no in
terest whatsoever" He continued:
Il trust, therefore, that in making des-
ignations for candidates for delegates to
the state convention, to be voted for at
the primary September Ia. your commit
tee will make the list of delegates as
representative as possible. This method
of nominating delegates by committees
was forced on the republicans of this
state by a democratic legislature and ap-
proved by Gov; DIX. every republican
member Of the legislature voting against
the passage of the bill. But 1t is the
law and We must abide by it.
Will Be No Dictation.
"The republican party of New York
state is not the asset Of any one man and
never will be. If any democrat, socialist,
prohibitionist or national progressive
thinks that the state convention of the
republican party, to be held September
25, will nominate candidates for Office at
the dictation of any individual. he 10
grievously mistaken.
There IL no man In the republican
party who possesses any such power, and
IL any one attempts to exercise such
power I have not the slightest doubt that
the delegates will thwart his purpose"

Vexing Questions.

| Then come the vexing questions Of
obligation, of duty and of wrong, the
struggle of the soul with it mighty sell
and the lure of lofty inhibition, the rap.
ture of high resolve, and the impulsive
challenge to injustice and oppression.
Love is learned again and the primal
longing for mate and offspring and
home find realization in cradle song.
The struggle for peace and power pos
sess US, the mystery of natures gener-
Gus wealth is acquired by tireless trial,
and the riches of the field and forest
and mine are multiplied a thousand
fold. OF the fruitful brain are born
the miracles of invention, and the
thunderbolts of Jupiter become our
willing messengers.
And this is life
Then come the falling SHOWS and the
locks grow white. The things that are,
are not distinctly seen, while those that
were, and those yet to be, come into
nearer vision. Our childhood days are
lived again, and hope sees bright Wis.,

the highway. Ambitions call is faint
er heard, and memory's song grows
clearer. The problems of the day vex

endeavor we seek it for ourselves, and
in its achievement call our aid the
prestige of wealth and peace and pow
er, the lips of eloquence and the genius
of song, so it reflects itself, in nobler
endeayor, as a sacrificed duty of the liv-
ing TO the dead.
Lest we forget!
Our brothers virtues we engrave-u up
on the tables of our hearts. We may
be forgotten. We must not forget. No
higher call comes to man, no greater
privilege blesses, no more sacred duty
commands.
And so we, members Of the Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks, have
come together again to hold our annual
lodge of sorrow for our brothers who
have gone, to recite anew their virtues,
and to reconsecrate the living to a dis
semination and practice of brotherIy
love, the supreme aim of our order.
1t is a solemn, impressive, but in
SPRING thought that ON this day, in
every state and even in the distant is
lands of the sea, are being held these
memorial services in memory of the
orders dead.

One Death.

AS in the Olympic gatherings of the
ancient Greeks the beginning ceremo-
MES were sacrifice to the shades of their
! departed brethren, proud victors of
former days, so annually as an order we
bring our offering of anthem and elo-
! quence and eulogy to the Brothers of
the Bond, who have passed from that
mystery we call life into that other
mystery we call death. Gone are
they, but not forgotten Not one
name passed over; all are once more re-
membered. The voice of the secretary
has again called the roll of the absent
and though they respond not, yet in
our hearts their memory speaks. There
arise visions of the past when they
were with us, when we felt their hand
clasp, when they were a part of hui
maity, bearing mans burden in a
mans way, and lending aid to the
weaker of their brethren.

What Is Life ?

To us who are yet playing to our
selves our little parts in the stage of

this, in lines on the walls of cur con-
seriousness, written by unseen fingers,
is seen the great question of mystery,
What is life?
Philosophy has sought to know its
meaning, and science with its micro
scope, has exploded its processes, the
ologies have proclaimed its secret and
history and literature have traced its
progress, but still the mind of man is
curious to know the satisfying answer.
Is it narrow span shut in by two
eternities, or is it eternity?
We come into this world lowered

united, and ecstacy and pain attend

of perfect love, and wooed to shadowy
shores of undisturbed repose by color

resses of love. We learn the marvellous
uses of hand and feet, and release the
imprisoned thought in the miracle of
speech. With wondering eye we behold
all the wealth that nature gives, with
curious brain we seek out of all the
metes and bounds of our environment,
and with imperious demand claim all
the wisdom the ages have possessed.

Exalted Ruler, Brethren, Friends:

ton of man. In its pursuit all obsta-
Giles are challenged and all hindrances
are defeR To win it, smiling peace
and bloody war have their champions
and countless creeds pledge it to their
followers. Hope is its guardian angel
and the multiplied emotions of men
attend upon it. Wealth and power
struggle for it's attainment and love
promises its possession.
Its intensity is measured by the wild
ening circle of mans activity, but to
all its call is heard amid the tumults
of living. With listening ear its song
is welcomed. 1t hallows the sacri-
fees of parenthood, and softens the
couch of death. Youth pursues it and
old age struggles to make its possession
secure. Under its powerful prompt

bears testimony to its power no less
than solemn abbeys that hold the ash

lash, We struggle and strive, how, un-
der its aspiration, we labor and sacri-

and the names of those he loves man

have place in memory.

.ELKS MEMORIAL
SERVICES HELD

Last Sunday evening the First Pres
byterian church could not possibly
hold the crowd that gathered to attend
| the annual memorial service of the
Johnson City Lodge b. p. 0. Elks,
and hundreds were turned away. The
| Elks marched in at O'Clock and took
their seats in reserved pews and the
officers ISSUED their stations around
the altar, while an appropriate prelude
was rendered. The choir, composed of
Mesdames p. II. Wofford, W, J. Bar
ton, f. w. Hoss, and Miss Marion
Bowman, Messrs. T. b. Cook and +.
A. Moses, then sang Kipling's "Reces-
siOnal." The lodge was then opened
by Exalted Ruler Walter Miller with
impressive ceremonies. When the roll
of absent brothers was called by Secre-
tary Warren an electric bible was
darkened as the brother failed to re-
spond, and when the last name was
called the church was in total darkness
for few moments while the audience
sat in absolute silence, thus paying its
tribute to the dead. The Elk clock
was then Illuminated and counted the
hour of eleven in a mournful and im-
pressive manner.
Miss Anna Barlow next sang "God
Shall Wipe Away All Tears" in her
rich contralto voice. Following a ten
der prayer by DIR. Glass, Miss Mildred
Gilbreath and Henry Gilbreath render
ed violin duet with Miss Rankin as
accompanist The eulogy of the even
ing was then delivered by Prof. S. G.

Rankin then sang "Ever Safe With

more than pleased the audience with
