WHAT AN ELK
 BELIEVES IN

The principles of our order are Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity. These are the foundations upon which our order is founded; these are the magic words that in the space of 50 years have made this the greatest American fraternal or der.
 We believe the man that scatters flowers in the pathway of his fellow man and lets into the dark places of life the sunshine of human sympathy and human helpfu1ness is following in the footsteps of his Master
 We believe a smile is better than a. frown, sunshine better than clouds and laughter is the sweetest music in all the world.
 We believe in good fellowship, and that it is our duty now and then to turn aside from the cares and anxie- ties of life and sip the honey from the flower of pleasure. My brothers, in the struggles. tri- als and triumphs of the future we. must do our work and act our parts and we will best perform our duties to ourselves, families, neighbors, to. country, state and humanity, by. Refnni Refgping constantly in view the noble prlnclpleS Of our order. = Great movements in the wor.o are l not the result of chance. and 1t does not merely happen that half a mil Ilon of Americas best citizenship. have identified themselves with the Order of E1ks- They have done so. because it stands for respect and, sympathy and admiration of good and true men.
 Because it stands for patriotism, and loyalty to our country. and it's institutions and as a constant lesson in that patriotism and love of eoun- try, it drapes the American flag upon the altar of every lodge which opens a session under its authority.
 Because it stands for justice be- tween man and man; justice temper- ed with gentleness and mercy. and as an emblem of that justice upon our country's flag we place an open Bible.
 Because it teaches the sweet yir- tue of brother1y love, not only be- tween members of our order, but to- ward all mankind.
 And because above, and beyond all It teaches as a fundamental basis of its creed, an a1l-embracing charity. not merely the cold charity that linn. its itself to the paltry gifts of almsf but that sweet charity which freely spends itself in kindly words, in gen erous thoughts, in gracious deeds and warm-hearted love.
 These are the things that have ap-i pea1ed to men and caused them to flock to our standard and to swell the mighty host that is marching for ward under it's broad-f1ung banners.

Glory Enough to Go Around

The arrival in Washington of a
certificate attesting the fact that the
Legislature of Tennessee has rati-
fled the Nineteenth Amendment ends
the long struggle over equal SUI
frage. There will, of course, be
squealing over LOCALITIES, but it may
be assumed Secretary Colby will
ignore this and promptly proclaim
that the amendment is part of the
Constitution, binding on all states
of the Republic.
Who is entitled to the credit? It
is not worth while to try definitely
to ascertain. There is glory enough
to go around. 1t would cheaper the
great achievement to wrangle over
distributing honors. The attitude of
Mary Garrett Hay, herself a stout
Republican, seems the correct one
She notes that the equal suffrage
movement started in the East, that
1t won its first success in the West,
that the clinching of victory oc-
Cured in the South. AS to the record
of the parties, if the Republican
states furnished three-fourths of the
ratifying legislatures, a Democratic
one pushed the business across. Even
IN the Tennessee Legislature party
lines were not respected, although it
is perhaps not invidious to mention
the young Republican of east Ten
nessee who furnished the deciding
ballot for "the glory of the party"
But the question arises as to what
extent is the right of all adult
women to vote to be respected. Will
the women adopt the discriminating
policy of the men, or will they, with
a livelier sense Of justice. insist that
call women" includes even those of
dark complexion? Will they say the
Fourteenth Amendment is the law
quite as much as the Nineteenth?

Blocking Rate Increases

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The refusal of the Public
Service Commission OF the I'd District
to recognize the Federal increase in
railroad rates has placed the railroad
employees Of this state in a serious po-
sition. The new Federal rates and
Wage Board award were a nationwide
affair and, I believe, subscribed to by
the majority of the nation.
If any state body intcrferes with
those rates going into effect it may in
turn interfere with the paying of the
increased wages. because there IS moth
ing to prevent a stockholder suing
out an injunction against such pro-
ceeding. A road cannot pay out mora
than it takes in. and if the stockholder
wins his point and the two-cent passen-
ger rate stands also, the employee
must accept a reduction in his wages
instead of an increase.
1t behooves the railroad employees TO
get together and bring influence on that
commission, or they viii be on the
"watchful waiting" list for several
months more. ". VOLKHARDT.

The Gompers Issue

Mr.. Bryan's two pet contentious
when political campaign was not
going to his satisfaction were, first,
that voters were being "bought" to
mark their ballots against him, and,
second, that there was "coercion" of
workingmen.
Brother Cox seems to have sue
cessfully annexed the first, although
he shows some signs that he wishes
he hadn't. But as to the second, Mr..
Gonpers takes no chances. He beats
Governor Cox to it. He exposes a
horrld plot of corporate interests"
to brighten labor into voting as
ordered by shutting down plants.
In his most emphatic manner he
warns the conspirators. They are
told that what they propose will
not be endured.
Mr.. Gompers sees the warehouses
of the offending concerns empty and
their books filled with orders. Thew
could make, it would appear, many
millions by operating, but they don't
want the offered profit. They are
selfish monsters, with greed their
master passion, but they deliber-
ately abandon opportunities to line
their pockets. He proclaimed this
doctrine in attacks on the manu-
tacturers of woolens, and is so
pleased with it that he gives it
wider circulation.
We have sufficient confidence in
the intelligence of Mr.. Gompers to
believe he is aware that it is not
customary for manufacturers to
throw away chances to make money.
Their malice may be deep, but they
are scarcely engaged in the bust
ness of singing acknowledgements at
least three months before election.
The issue is sprung too soon. It is
POi4io w NC Hldue III ldle OCTOBER
rather than in August.
Why, then, does the head of the
Federation of Labor join in cry
which even Lenine has abandoned
IN Russia-that capital has gone on
a strike and the bourgeoisie have
become sabotagers? The most
plausible explanation is that Mr..
Gompers realizes there are radicals
in the ranks of his organization
who need to be placated and knows
that unreason delights them. But
If Mr.. Gompers would keep posses
sion of his issue he will do we'll to
copyright it. Brother Cox is loose

The Vehic,,(ar Tunnel

Ground for the sinking of the east
and west shafts of the New York
and New Jersey vehicular tunnel
Will be broken on Columbus Dav.
The occasion deserves to be cele-
brated, for it marks another impor-
tant advance toward the creation of
that unified city-the New York of
the future-which is far to surpass
London as the great population CEN
ter of the world. That future city
must overcome the barrier of the
Hudson River, which is a material
as well as a political obstacle to
amalgamation.
The immensely Of her harbor has
been in one way a disadvantage to
New York. Manhattan Island and
Long Island are cut off from most of
the railroad trunk lines, and for
terminal facilities and reshipment
purposes the territory on the west
side OF the Hudson has acquired
decided advantage. Manhattan, suf-
fering from her isolation, has been
compelled to pay excessive lighter
age and rehandling charges. That
natural handicap can be best over
come by pooling facilities with the
Jersey shore and creating a Joint

Appreciation

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The following is an excerpt
from a letter which the Governor OF
Utah addressed to me:
"About the time l came into Office
read some OF your writings on prison
reform, and they made such pro-
found impression that decided 10 try
to put some OF them into effect in
Utah, and the result was something
akin to revolution in prison practice
in this state. thought you
would be Interested 70 know that your
writings have been largely responsible

that the results from actual practice

port and terminals, through which
the whole urban center can be most
economically served.
Enlightened friends Of the city
have been working for the ratihca-
ton of the treaty with New Jersey
for unified port They have en-
countered parochial opposition from
the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment, and delays with the COM
pact have chilled the interest of the
New Jersey communities which were
originally willing to come into the
single port scheme. Fortunately
the vehicular tunnel project has
passed the stage Of debate. 1t will
assure easy and uninterrupted COM
munication by trucks between the
Jersey terminals and Manhattan and
Brooklyn. 1t doesn't solve the prob
lem of economical detachment COM
pletely, but it will help to solve it.
The more means Of intercom-
munication the better The cost of
living in this city has been greatly
increased by obsolete methods of
handling food supplies and merchan-
disc and by an obstinate attempt to
develop our port and terminal area
as if it consisted of two rival and
unrelated units. Cooperation is the
real solution. State lines and a
great estuary separate the islands to
the east from the continental terri
tory to the west. They should be
made one economically, for the bene-
fit of both.
