the dreams of the Holy One are ever
fair. And wherever the foot of man
pressed the face of earth, the tenn
pie was there.
"On the sands of the desert, where
the great Eastern stars look down,
in fertile plains, on mountains steep
in dark morass, in forests deep and
by the sounding sea the temple rose;
and it was fair and pure and holy.
Joy tarried in its portals: love sane
titled its affairs; and the incense of
purity assembled forever and ever.
And the ALAN erciful ordained wo-
man the priestess of this temple and
He called it home.
ITO this divine institution do we,
as Elks, swear fealty and faith. Sis
ter, wife, mother-these are our
wards. There breathes no loyal Elk
upon the face of the earth who does
not place upon the brow of pure wo-
manhood the crown of reverence. In
him the gentle chiva1ry of Arthur and
Charlemagne finds a true exponent
His honor is her shield, his arm is
her defense. She is the sovereign
liege who wins a priceless service.

11O'clock Toast
In All Elk Lodges
John w. Kelley's Toast and
What Inspired 1t.

One of the beautiful features
of every Elks session is the II
o'clock toast to "our absent
brothers" It had it's origin in
the call Of /the wild elk to the
wandering members of the herd.
This sentiment is beautifully
expressed by the following toast
once given by James w. Kelley,
OF Denver Lodge No. II. He
said:
"a few days ago I was camped,
while on a hunting trip, with
several other members of this
order, in the wilds of Northwes-
tern Colorado. All about were
lofty mountains. AS the shades
of evening settled down upon the
scene and darkness drew her cur
tains and pinned them with a
star, the bold outline of the no.
BILE range stood out in impress
sive silhouette against the south
ern sky. Nearby tinkling trout
stream flowed over leagues of
pebbly shore on it's way to meet
the sea. In the distance a water
fall, fleecy as a bridal veil, fell
in tumbling cascades down the
rough face Of a precir:~e. IN
the aarsning concave of the hea-
vens hung the dim crescent Of
of the silvery moon.
eve sat about the twinkling
campfire and watched the sha-
dows Of the evening darken, dar-
ken, darken into night. A 81
lence, deep and holy seemed to
brood across the world. Sudden
ly, from far up on the sloping
sides of the mountain, we heard
a mournful wailing call that min
gled with the whispering winds
like the blare of a far-off bugle.
From still higher on the shoulder
he great mountain wall came
answering note that was
me on the high breezes like
a wandering echo.
Tt is the elk, said a member
Of the party who was skilled in
the ways Of the mountains. AT
this time of the year the men,
bers of the herd who have ira
veled in far pastures below the
line Of the snow call in the night
to those who have wandered
away from the band, signalling
them in Gomez ~
''The silvery river rippled on.
The moon rose higher in the
skies Of night, and still we heard,
far off and faint the elk band,
banqueting on the rich grass Of
the valley, calling, calling, call
ing, calling to the absent.
Tonight, in the midst Of rev.
elry we pause, glass in hand, to
think of the absent who have
wandered beyond the delightful
confines of this fraternal circle.
We send our voices careening
on the winds Of the night to sig
nal them in the far and distant
places where they roam, and out
Of the mists and shadows be-
meath the moon we seem to hear
an answering hail. Our absent
brothers. Where e'er they be, on
land or Sea, let us drink to their
health together"

Brotherly Love
BY T. N. Hengler

Make channels new, for brotherly
love,
And let the streams flow on;
Make pastures new, and bypaths, too,
For Elks to frisk and run.
Make pleasures new for brotherly
love,
Let reason feast with soul;
Make daughters chime peal the time,
For stays to quaff bowl!
Make horns new. for brotherly love,
And let them shine with gold;
Make them call from outer hall,
The Elks into their fold

Must Cooper
ate With Labor

A program for cooperation be-
tween capital and labor, designed to
bring about "just settlement of in
dustrial strife, was outlined recently
by Charles w. Eliot, president cmer-
titus of Harvard University, at a leg
islative hearing on bill for the ap-
pointment of a special commission to
study the hours of labor in Massa-
chusetts industries.
He favored the bill, chiefly, he said
"because / believe it to be inexpedient,
not to say absurd, to attempt to fix
by law the same number of hours for
all industries, without regard to their
infinite ,diversities, or for all estab-
lishments in the same industry"
Urges Genuine Partnership
As final basis for his program,
Eliot proposed:
General adoption Of genuine
partnership system between tho capi-
tai and labor engaged in any given
works or plant, whereby the returns
to capital and labor alike of the wag-
es are paid shall vary with the prof
its of the establishment, the percent

is now being made to beat st. Fran
co.'s county out of considerable taxes
for 1918. These companies will glad
ly spend, oven more than the amount
IN litigation in such tax suit, il they
can divert it from it's right and prop
er channel. This particular feature Of
tho case, however, is undoubtedly due
largely to their local attorneys, who
are anxious to demonstrate how val
liable their services are to their com
panies. But even then management
that can thus be swayed through the
influence of their local ATTORNEYS.
whose sole, or principal purpose in life
is trying to create trouble. which
means additional fees to them, is GER
tainly not of sufficient broad dimen-
slons to properly manage such bus
mess.
But now back to the original propo-
sition. The getting back" process
was evidently started when the mines
were all shut down tight at Leadwood.
But why at Leadwood, do you ask?
Why, because Leadwood had the most
perfectly organized labor union in the
lead belt-in fact the only real labor
organization in that entire district.
The present indications are that such
move was master stroke, as it has
evidently sadly shattered the union
organization in that place, as well as
having imperiled the very life of
Leadwood itself, which was SO largely
dependent upon the work that the
mines afforded for its very existence.
But that was not enough, it seems,
to satisfy the getting backp craving
OF this big corporation, as well as its
little cohorts. The scene Of "activity"
was then transferred to Herculaueum.
where another strong union was in
operation. The wheels were stopped
in that great smelter, the fires per
mitted to go out, the doors closed and
locked, and another former prosperous
and happy community was converted
into a dead and lifeless thing, as work
mon must go where there Is employ
ment.
1t hardly seems possible to the writ
or now, after reading over the, fore
going, that any normal human beings
could pursue such a course, only for
the cold-blooded purpose of "getting
back" with workmen whom they had
been compelled to pay more than was
their desire to pay. There may be
something else figuring in this base
plot, and the further thought occurs
that it is possible-even likely--that
a desire to get foreigners implanted
in the lead belt may have something
to do with it. When the Americans
and other high class labor is starved
out of that district, it may not then
be difficult to again import foreign la
Dor. Think it over. This affords a
fertile field for research.

A "NIGGER' CONCEALED
SOMEWHERE IN RUBBISH
St. joe Doe Run Lead Co. Determined
to Put Union Labor on Bum" in
Hope Of Getting Foreigners Back

The attention of The Times has re.
Gently been drawn to the fact that the
st. Joe-Doe Run Lead Co. are now
shipping all their concentrates from
the st. Francois county mining field
through Herculancum, where that
company owns one of the most modern
and complete smelters in the world
ard on to Collinsville, Ill, where they
are having their smelling done in q
smelter owned by others.
At first glance this information
seemed passing strange to us-abso,
lptely inexplainable. The thought OF
the st. Joe-Doe Run Lead Co. ship.
ping all their concentrates right
through their own splendid smelter al
Herculaneum, which is the last WORD
in equipment, and with immense ca
pacity, to give to some other smelter
it's toll for refining it's products, ap-
peared to be absolutely unreasonable
and preposterous.
In attempting to find solution to
such passing strange demeanor, the
mind of the writer reverted to the in
vestigation of the mining conditions
in this county, which was made last
Summer, we believe in June, in which
VIM. ii. Taft and Frank P. Walsh rep
resented the War Board. That inves-
tigation, which was quite thorough
resulted in a substantial advance be-
ing ordered in the wages of the en-
ployes of the mines and swelters, the
increased wage to begin several
months previous to that date.
Such action did not appear to be
at all satisfactory to the mine own
ers, but war conditions were in force
at that time, and they had to accept
and abide by the findings and deci-
sion of the War Board. But hostili-
ties had no sooner ceased, apparently,
than the mine owners began to cast
about for some method of "gctting
back" at the laborers, whose wages
they had been forced to increase some
somewhat through no effort of theirs.
Such casting about soon opened to
them course of action, which prom-
ised results, insofar as getting ''back"
at their workmen was concerned. Ot
course such "getting back%z PROCESS
bid fair also to cost them an addition
al "pretty penny. But there is one
thing the excessively high prices dur
ing the past three years has done to
some of the arrangements of mining
companies-thati is to make them very
careless of the stockholders money.
They appear to figure that there is no
use of considering expenses when
there is q good, bad or Indifferent de-
sire to be fulfilled, with the millions
still on hand they have been unable
to disburso among the stockholders,
though their dividends have been swol-
len almost to the bursting point.
Take, for instance the attempt that
