New York.-One of the strongest and
most influential secret organizations in
this city and one which Is doing real
uplift work is the Improved Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks. 1t
is in the forefront of the secret So
cieties which are doing great work for
the moral development of its members
and bringing about better standard
of manhood and citizenship.
Since the beginning of the Elk move
ment twelve years ago among colored
men the order has had steady growth
until today it is one of the strongest
organizations of its kind in the United
States. In New York Manhattan lodge
has probably the largest membership
of any one of the subordinate lodges
Of the order.

steady growth until today it mas
membership of $50. Many of the most
prominent men of the race in New
York are active i'll the welfare OF the
Elks and are doing much for the pro
motion and advancement Of the order
Prominent among them are J. Frank
Wheaton, the well known lawyer: DR..
Kellogg. successful physician; James
IL Anderson. the hustling newspaper
man and managing editor OF the Am
sterdum News. and many others In
recent statement given out by Mr.. An
dersOn concerning the Elks he said:
The type of men who belong TO the
Elks Is Of the very best among our fel
low citizens The Elks can set an ex
ample for a great many of our lodges
In The matter of loyalty to the tenets
nl the order
The general orga aniZation of the Or
der of ElI;s had its inception among
uur people about twelve years ago. Mr..
q. + Howard was the leader of the
movement The order has had re-
'uarkable growth. due doubtless to the
many benehcent advantages which 1t
offers 10 it's members and the congen-
iu fellowship which 1t seeks to pro-
mole Among the many advantages
derived from membership in the Elks
are the ample provision made for its
members in time of sickness and the
liberal aid given to the heirs of a de-
ceaSed member at the time of such
members death"
Like most all good movements in the
interest of humanity. whether as indi-
viIuHls or collective body. the organ
iz1tion has had to face many difficult
ties and combat the most severe oppo-
sition For the past three years. more
or less there was much dissatisfaction
within its own ranks. while at the
same time strong opposition from out
side sources nearly swept the organi
cation from its course.
All told. the order has won na
tional reputation throughout the coun
try and is now on firm footing and
good work is being done by the mem
bers of the various lodges. The public
functions of the order wherever held
are always the occasion for much en-
thusiasm on the part of the public. In
New York city. Brooklyn and Jersey
City. n. j.. the lodges are very aggres
sive and successful in meeting their
obligations to the members.

Assistance to Women

Care of it's women travellers is
one of the principal aims OF the
Southern Pacific Company and IN
pursuing the fulfllment OF this
policy the officials have recently
placed uniformed maids upon all
Of the ferry steamers crossing
SanFrancisco BAY. Sea-sickness is
sometimes the fate of the women
travellers and the maids have al
ready demonstrated their useful
ness in this repect. The duties of
these maids are to look out for
the comforts Of the women pas
sengers. The uniform is for the
purpose of indentifcation and all
that is required by the passeng-
ers is to request her services. At
all Of the larger stations of the
Southern Pacific Company uni
formed maids are employed and
they have proved to be great
comfort to the thousands of Wo-
men travellers who patronize the
lines of that company.
