THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER
Read the Paper and then Spend
an Evening With the Elks.

For the first time the Elks' Her
aid" makes it's bowwow to the read
ing public of the world, for it must
be understood that our circulation
| is not limited, and any man, woman
or child who fails to get copy of t,
this splendid publication should noti
fly our circulation manager at once.
Our space is not devoted to giving
the narrowing details of some bloody /,
conflict in which some nations is
contending for it's freedom, nor does
| it TEEN with bitter denunciation of
the leaders of the various political
parties. On the contrary, the dove
of peace will be found lowering over
our editorial column. We are at
peace with all the world, and want
the world in return, to send repre-
sentatives to the Minstrel perform
ance we are arranging to present at =
the Reynolds Theatre on the night
of January 8. You will hear ''some"
songs, and see "some" singers, and
watch "some" dancers doing some
dancing, and to sum up the entire
affair, you're going to see some"
show
The net earnings of the show will
be used for a GOOD purpose; regard
less of just how we spend it, it is go
ing to be spent right, and so is the
dollar that you deposit for your tick
ct. In fact, you are going to get
ten dollars worth for one, and every
relative and friend whom you tell to
go is going to get ten times their
dollars worth, so why not make this
an endless chain of good? Every
body is going to get good out of this
show-but say what's the use of
arguing? Any Elk will give you
tickets and take your money. Try
it..
The more we tell you about this
show the more things we think of
that you ought to know about it. We
are really trying to lead up to the
point that the Elks Mammoth Min
strel Show is to be one of the grand
est performances of it's kind ever
presented in this city, and with the
talent selected, we know whereof we
speak.
The show is not one of the old
time minstrels, with a few end men
cracking" jokes and few "hurray'
songs, but every number is novel in
the extreme and every number is re-
hearsed until it is an individual hit.
Everything is WONDERFUL Gosh,

The only real secret it possesses is

In the conception and birth of the
Benevolent and Protective Order OF
Elks few men-just seven in num-
berfurnished the genius upon
which was built the greatest Ameri-
cen fraternal order in the country,
and one Of the greatest orders in the
world
1t was in 1867 that a number of
singers, dancers and public enter
tainers, including actors, organized
themselves into what was known as
the Free and Easies, and gave con-
certs several times week in the
lower part of New York for their
own amusement.
1t was not long before the profess
sionals joined and regular Sunday
Quit lgs were had. The small aggre-
cation of theatrical artists and 9th
ers took on the name of Jolly Corks,
which was due to trick The trick
was played on the unwary The un-
derstanding was that every man was
to hold cork in his hand and was
not to drop it until given signal.
All of the members onto the trick
held to their corks, and the dupe,
anxious not to be stuck for the
drinks, quickly dropped the cork
1t was from this trick that the club
took it's name.
The jolly Corks, after numerous
meetings, and seeing the idea was a
popular one, decided to organize per-
manently, and to make benevolent
organization Of it.
1t is not fact which an Elk
parades, but it is nevertheless true
that all but few of the Governors
of States in the American Union are
members of the order, four-fifths of
the members of Congress (the House
and Senate) are members, and most
of the Cabinet and other high officials
in Washington are in the order Ex-
President Taft himself belongs. The
order includes in its membership in
every community the best of citizens
and especially young men who are

| the forefront in community affairs.
In all the cities in this country to
be an Elk is to be good citizen. If
e man is an Elk, he stands for some
thing in. his community. Hence it
is that young men in business or
professions anxiously seek member
ship, and there has never yet been
recorded voluntary retirement from
the order. Many ministers belong.
Why Elk Was Chosen
On February 16, 1858, was born
the Order of Elks, destined to be one
of the greatest of all charitable fra
ternal orders, and early in it's history
the Elks adopted feature now most
highly priced, its Americanism. None
but Americans may become members.
The order endeavors to teach not
only the highest moral education, but
to inculcate patriotism and devotion
to the country and home in it's
tenets. The Star Spangled Banner
covers the altar in every lodge room
of the B. P. o. E. and no effort is
spared to impress upon candidates
the fact of its American origin and
characteristics, both in it's ritual and
form of government. 1t initiates no
religious rites, but is not antagonis-
tic to anV religion and an adjunct to
adj. A lodge may be legally started
only upon territory of the United
States.
On May "a, 1858, the original COM
mittee on ritual instituted New York
Lodge No. 1, with two degrees of
members and devout elders, the
ritualistic work being explained and
exemplified.

oFFICIALIZING PHYSICIANS.

New York city has on its pay-rolls
600 physicians with aggregate salaries
OF $SS1,00O a year. If to these be
added 9S2 who do municipal work
without pay. 20 per cent OF the pro-
fession in that city is accounted for
in public work. American Medicine
declares that if we now add those who
serve in private institutions for little
or no fees. third of the whole num-
Der is doing its work at no cost to the
individual sick person. but at public
expense.
There is as much and about the
same reason for the state to care for
the sick as for it TO teach the young
In the one case the reason given is,
and in the other ii can be, that the
protection of society rather thar the
personal benefit either of the children
or the sick is sougb.
The argument for compulsory pres
ervatiOn of health is as Well supported
as that for compulsory education, and
enormous expenditures of public
money are already made to prevent
illness.
Enormous private benefactions for
the scientific investigation of the
causes and nature OF diseases have
resulted in incalculable good. There
is much that the public can do for the
individual health.
But just as private schools and
private teachers have survived the es-
tablishment OF public schools, so there
is no danger that the private practi-
toner viii ever disappear.

Fred WOOdward's Topic.

A comprehensive address on our
national and county government was
given Friday evening at the y. W. c..
a. by Atty. Fred Woodward at the
occasion of the weekly Friday night
parlor talk The audience was one
of the largest Of the entire series.
Next Friday night Miss Ada Hitler
will talk on invalid cookery.
Mr.. Woodward's talk was chiefly
an outline of the government of the
country which he divided into three
separate and distinct powers, the ma
tional, county and local. He explain
ed the particular functions of each as
required by the nation, the county and
the city. making clear the respective
duties of the officers of each govern
mental organization. OF the relation
and significance of the many judiciary
powers in state and nation, he spoke
at some length, illustrating with va
rious examples. He concluded with
a condensed description of the activ-
ity and methods of the city govern
ment.

TION OFFERED
EDITOR of The News-Times.

Editor of The News-Times.
Being interested in both Mishawaka
and South Bend as cities. and in St
Joseph county, as to the prosperity OF
the farmer, / have read with interest
the communications in your valuable
paper as to the fair grounds and Pot
tawatomie park in River Park.
This controversy can be easily set
tied. it occurs to me, and in a manner
pecially to the farmers, who are most
interested
Mr.. Studebaker has done too much
for South Bend and st. Joseph county
not to be consulted in the matter of a
fair. The same can be said of Mr..
Leeper and Mr.. Summers.
The park should be maintained, and
being on a branch of the street rail
way is not a suitable place for a fair
ground proposition.
The st. Joseph county fair grounds
roads and near the center of the
county, east and west. This would
bring the location between South
Bend and Chain lakes. and there are
several ideal locations with two inter-
urban roads leading from Chicago to
the East Indiana line, south to In
dianapOlis and north to st. Joseph,
giving through service.
Horse racing, L take it, is a second
airy matter as il should be in an agri-
cultural fair which includes animal
exhibits. An implement show should
be encouraged for the education at
home of the farmers in all up-tO-date
improvements for the farm, and no
doubt Studebaker. Oliver, Birdsell.
Dodge and other large factories would
erect show buildings to add to the
beauty of the grounds and comfort of
the visitors.
The city of South Bend should pur-
chase 40 acres of land acceptable to
the county commissioners and county
council and deed it TO the county in
even exchange for the park. This
should satisfy all parties concerned

of Inheritance taxes promise TO ex-
cite considerable debate before they
get much farther. The abolition OF
capital punishment and eugenic mar
riages especially, are in the main eth
zeal questions, and it would be diff
cult, even in so staid a body as the
Indiana senate, to get together fifty
men OF oratorical powers. that could
absolutely agree on an ethical ques-
ton.
Both propositions. however. are in
accord with the advance thought OF
the age. Modern thinkers regard cap
ital punishment quite as much of a
crime IS the crime which it seeks to
punish. and il is not uncommon to
hear the argument advanced that a
more scientific system OF matrimony
would go a long way, and a longer
way. toward the elimination of crime.

world has ever produced.
