ELKS' TRIBUTE
TO DEPARTED
MEMBERS
(Continued from Page l)
lodges in our land where our love of
humanity at large is shown. Love
for humanity shown, indeed, yes.
Hut purlieu lar love for those joined
in our great fraternity as voiced in
our motto: "The faults of our broth
ers we write upon the sand; their
virtues upon the tablets of love and
memory."
Symbolic Meanings
These subjects might. I repeat,
anyone ol them, be chosen as fit and
appropriate And others may sug
test themselves to you. But 1 have
chosen for my theme. "The .Meaning
of Our Symbols." In our lodge
looms may be found u clock, always
stopped at the hour of eleven ; a
Bible; the autlers of an elk; a flag:
a star. There are others, perhaps,
but I purpose to devote my time to
these as most significant.
Historic Symbolism
Symbolism was an early develop
ment of mankind and has come down
to us from remote ages when man
could not write as well as from those
periods when composition was very
imperfect and its practice limited to
the few. In fact, writing grew out
of symbols, certain objects typifying
abstractions and attributes associat
ed with the same the lion for bold
uess. the sun for brightness, the
quiver of arrows for war. By indi
rection and suggestion the message
is made clear.
Buddhistic Monkeys
Many years ago 1 saw in China
and Japan a monkey image used for
emblematic purpose. His front paws
were used to stuff ears, cover eyes,
and hold tongue. Occasionally not
one monkey was used, but three
crouched side by side, one covering
his eyes; another stuffing his ears:
and a third, holding his tongue. I
could never have guessed what it
was all about and so asked. I then
learned that the simian was intended
to represent a maxim from the
Buddha: "Hear no evil; see no evil;
speak no evil."
Mahometan Crescent
The case of Mahomet carries sym
bolism perhaps familiar to us. A
poor camel-driver he received a reve
lation that he felt would be wonder
fully beneficial to his people. Around
him gath"r"l u faithful band to
whom he taught the doctrine of the
ne God. Persecutions folowed; and
the founder of Monometallism, a
new cult, was driven from home. The
ght of this religious leader from
Mecca to Medina, a city that gladly
received his teachings, was mude.
according tc tradition, under a aew
T ioon ; and so the crescent came to
Kta:id typically for the Mohammedan
Empire and is continued on the flag
of Turkey today. Dur'ng the strug
gles of the CruKadt rs for the recov
ery of the sepulchre of Jesus in the
middle ages the followers of Islam
carried swords curvet! to represent
the crescent moon (as, in fact, they
still dot and these were symbolic,
not alone of the past history but
suggestive also of the destined in
crease of their religion.
The Cross Opposed
Opposed to these Mahometans
were the followers of Christ, who al
so had their symbol, the Cross, in
the very weapon with which they
fought. Holding the blade of his
sword before him. his right hand
grasped perhaps a foot from the
crusspiece. the Crusader had the
emblem of his faith at his morning
and evening devotions. It was, in
fact, a constant reminder of his vows.
The Christian Fish
Another early Christian symbol,
not so trell knewn. has come down
to us in modified form. It is the
Fish, used secretly in early days
when the Christians were under con
stant persecution. By drawing
roughly in dust, or scratching on
stone, a likeness of a fish the follow
ers of the new cult could find their
way to a meeting place, usually a
catacomb, or hidden recess. This use
was not dissimilar, as the fish was
shown headed toward the rendez
vous, to the use of painted foot
prints leading to a football game or
auction in our own day. The point
in their choosing this as a symbol
lay in the letters of the Greek word
Fish, or Ichthus. which furnisn the
initial letters for the expression.
Jesus Christ. Son of God. Savior. The
windows pointing upward in many
churches are a survival of this sym
bol devised by the early Christian
fellowship.
OUR OWN SYMBOLS
The Bible
In like manner, our lodge has
chosen its symbols. One seen on all
of our altars on the altar for these
exercises is the Bible. It is in
tended to call our minds repeatedly
back to the ideal of Justice for
which our order stands. Not the
Justice of the Old Testament, which
was too often harsh and unyielding
the Justice of a people just escaped
from thraldom and carrying the rig
or of their tormentors all to fre
nuently against the wrongdoers
;imong their own number: rather
the Justice of a newer and more en
lightened dispensation promulgated
by the Man of Sorrows. His teach
ings were summarized in an aphor
ism: "Whatsoever ye would that
men should do unto you. do ye even
so unto them."
I cannot but feel that we Elks
are better for this bimonthly con
tact with the Book of Books
Whether subscribing, or not. to any
of the various creeds which have
origin in this marvellous Jewish pro
duction, the fortnightly sight at our
sesaioue tends toward our refine
ment Really. tere ere sixty-six
bfxskt ot due me. history . philosophy
all hound within one cover, ex
tending over a period from earliest
dav.n: composed by some of the
world's most far-seeing writers; and
ending with a matchless narration of
the efforts of Jesus to point the way
toward better things
The Creator
It may be a surprise to some of
my audience to learn every" Eik must
subscribe to the doctrine that over
and above us all beyond what we
understand at all is an unknown
und unknowable Power that guideE
the destinies of spheres, of nun and
nations. To the words of Victor
Hugo, put into the meditations ol
the good bishop, we Elks could Sir
subscribe: "O You who are! Eccles
iastes calls You Omnipotence; tlu
the Maccabees call You Creator; the
Epistle to the Ephesians calls You
Liberty; Baruch calls You Immens
ity: the Psalms call you Wisdom and
Truth; St. John calls You Light;
the Book of Kings calls You Lord ;
Exodus calls you Providence; Levit
icus. Holiness; Esdras. Justice; Cre
ation calls You God: Man call You i
Father: but Solomon culls You
Mi rcy. and that is the fairest of ali
your name?."
An Illuminating Incident
A few weeks ago I beheld again'
for the thirty-second time an inci
dent that has illuminated all m
previous thought along this line, lc
the main hall of the institutior
where I work at the east end then
are two small windows. A porcb
extending out from the east wing,
shelters them, so that, for the great- ,
er part of the year, they know litth
sunlight. But once every aemestei
the pure beams fill them full clea:
full, and straighter than any survey
or's line, they strike upon the wal
eighty feet away Wondrous pre
cision! Wondrous power! that hold:
these swinging, whirling spheres as
in the hollow of a hand anrl twice a
year brings them hack so that their
relations are absolutely unchanged
as thought stuck in a groove! It is
at such moments that we compre
h nd the words reported by the
prophet i Isaiah 48:13): Mine hand
also hath laid the foundations of the
Earth, and my right hand hath
spaned the Heavens." In such mo
ments we read a poem, more beauti
ful than sonnet of Browning or apos
trophe of Shakespeare, written in
blazing glory by the hand of the
Omnipotent!
2 Antlers of Protection
The choice of the Elk. instead ol
the Buffalo, as the animal in whose
honor our lodge should be named
WM made by a narrow margin; yet
was most fortunate. The antlers
seen upon our altar and displayed
lavishly in our lodge rooms are not
symbolically intended as the weapons
of assault; but rather those of de
fense. They are the antlers of pro
tection. I like, in this connection, to
bring to mind that picture of Land
seer (I believe Landseer was the
painter, though I may he mistaken)
where the noble animal, head low
ered, is warding off the wolves that
howl and snap, ready to spring,
while the fawn cowers behind its
protector.
Misconception of the Elk
It has been stated frequentry that
the name Elk is of Latin origin (I
believe our ritual so declared); but
this appears, on careful examination,
to be erroneous. The mistake comes
about quite naturally from the fact
that the first reference likely, to an
Elk is found in the sixth hook,
twenty-seventh chapter of Julius
Caesar's "Gallic War." That mas
terful man sent out scouts to report
to him of the conditions in all of the
r gions then being reduced to sub
jection by Roman arms. These in
vestigators handed in to Caesar a
most fanciTul account of an animal
which they had found in the interior
of the barbaric Gallic confederacy.
The old Germanic name was Elsch
or Eig which Julius Caesar Latin
ized into Alces, the first three let
ters constituting the basic word and
the other two denoting the case end
ing The animal is classified by sci
entists under the general term deer,
or cervus.
Caesar's Description
This description is so unique that
I quote jt entire: "There are also
animals which are called Elks. The
shape of these and the varied color
of their skins are much like roes;
but in size they surpass them a little
and are destitute of hornB and have
legs without joints or ligatures; nor
do they lie down for the purpose of
rest. nor. if they have been thrown
down by any accident, can they raise
or lift themselves up. Trees serve as
beds for them: they lean against the
trees, and thus reclining only slight
ly, take their rest. When the hunt
ers have discovered from the foot
steps of rhese animals whither the
beasts are accustomed to go. th y
either undermine all of the trees at
the roots, or cut into them so f r
that the upper part of the tree; m v
appear to be left standing. Wh ii
the elks have leant upon them, i -cording
to habit, they knock dov n
by their weight the unsupport d
trees and fall down themselves along
with the trunks."
By Pliny, the Elder
Pliny, the Elder, writing appro: 1
mately 100 years after mighty Jul
ius, uses two words to mean elk -the
one alces being the same as us d
in the passage just quoted and r -ferring
to the elk of middle Europt ;
the other, achlis which has been
identified as the elk of the North
and which, due to climate, shows
some variations in general appear
ance from the other though it is
fundamentally the same animal.
Likely Pliny was misled through
different pronunciation of the name
by ancient Germait and Scandinav
ian. Listen to the words of Pliny:
'. . . There is also the alces.
which strongly resembles our steers,
except that it is distinguished by the
length of the ears and the neck.
There is also the achlis which is pro
duced in the island of Scandinavia:
it has never been in this city (Rome)
although we have descriptions of it
from many persons; it is not unlike
the alces but has no joints in the
hind legs. Hence, it never lies down,
but reclines against a tree while it
sleeps. It can o&ly be taken by pre
viously euttlnSr isto the tree and
thau laying a trap for it. as other-
wise it would escape ihrough its
swiftness, tls upper Dp is extreme
"y large so that it is compelled to
zo backwards when grazing; other
wise by moving onwards the lip
would get doubled up."
I may add in comment on the de
icriptions of both Caesar and Pliny
that they are hardly further from
he truth than the conceptions of
;ome people as to the real nature and
purposes of the membership in the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks.
3 The Starry Banner
No lodge of Elks can go on car
'ying ahead the work for which it
was chartered, without having con
tantly in its place of assembly the
mblem of national sovereignty and
freedom. In its combination of rd.
rhite and blue are centered all of
he history and legeDd of our past ;
ill of the aspiration of our present;
ill of the hope of our future. Its
nterpr'taticn is limited only by the
trength of our brain cells and the
varmth of our heart beats. In it
re epitomized the struggles of man
kind against class rule. It speaks
o us of the great charter of liberty
wrested from unwilling John; as
-ell as of the declarations of Pym
tnd Hampden against arrogant
"harbs. Mayflower compac t gleams
roni its silken folds; as well as that
iberty of conscience that drove
Rog r Williams out among the sav
iges. There is in it. as ideals to
ruide us. the steadfastness of Wash
ngton : the courage of Jackson; the
ision of Webster: the many-sidedness
of Lincoln; the simplicity of
""-rant; and the devotion, even unto
'eath. of Woodrow Wilson. It lias
onnotations that call forth in soulo
dse dormant a renewed confidence
n that declaration, enunciated by
uburn-haired Jefferson and that
onstitution fathered by rosy-cheek-d
Madison.
Wilson's Interpretation-
I have referred just now to the
wnea'gc of the flag from the more or
ess remote past. But there is a
nessage from the near-present as
well of Dewey and Sampson; of
"chley and Funston: of Pershing
tnd the boys in dug-outs, across the
vaters. breathing poison, torn by
bomb, face to face with kaiserism.
It was on Flag Day. 1!17. when
American hearts were bleeding that
Woodrow Wilson interpreted for UN
the great meanings. Said the Presi
dent :
". . . This flag under which we
serve is the emblem of our unity,
our power, our thought and pur
pose as a nation. It has no other
haracter than that which we give
it from generation to generation.
The choices are ours. It floats in
majestic silence above the hosts that
execute these choices, whether in
peace or in war. And yet. tho silent,
it speaks to us speaks to us of the
past, of the men and women who
went before us and of the records
they wrote upon it. We celebrate
the day of its birth and from its
birth until now it has witnessed a
rreat history, has floated on high
the symbol of great events, oi a great
plan of life worked out by a great
people."
Not an Academic Affection
This love of the flag, which EIks
delight to make manifest on Nation
al holidays and at every session of
every lodge, is not an academic af
fection, brought out for show ar.d
confined to visible and vocal dem
onstration, but is translated into
beneficent action, as hospitals and
world war service stand witness of.
As an order we should prefer to be
accused of chauvinism than of any
tepid adhesion to national ideals.
Our Americanism carries no prefix,
though our ancestors or we individ
ually, may have come from foreign
shores. Patriotism, in our creed,
can not be diluted and still remain
patriotism.
The Star of Fidelity
When the mariner's compass, near
the close of the Age ol" Darkness, was
adopted pretty generally in Europe
by seamen, the greatest impetus was
given to discovery and exploration.
Now the steersman at the binnacle,
his eye watching the magnetic needle
might follow the course laid out. no
matter how dark the heavens were.
New travel routes were at once
charted : commerce took on wider
territory India was opened up, and
China, too. as never before; and
America was discovered. The general
use of the magnetic compass was not
the least of the indications of the
breaking of ney light for Society.
And he would be foolish indeed who
would attempt to disparage it.
Compass Manipulated
Still remain, however, some ele
ments of superiority in steering by
the North Star, which never has had
variableness, neither shadow of tun
ing. It is in this variableness of
the mariner's compass, the ability
to manipulate it to cheat it, it I
may use the word that Joseph Con
rad has hit upon for the background
of one of his most powerful tales.
A sentence or two, copied from this
story of treachery, will explain how
the device was manipulated to fal
sify directions:
From "End of the Tether"
"The chief engineer took off his
coat with careful movements, and
proceeded to feel for the brass hook
screwed into the wooden stanchion.
For this purpose he placed himself
right in front of the binnacle, thus
hiding completely the compass-card
from the quarter-master at the
wheel . . . The iron in the pockets
of the coat had done its work and
the Sotala' butted the sheer ridge of
a stone reef which would have been
wash at high water. This made the
shock absolutely terrific. Everybody
in the ship that was standing was
thrown down headlong; the shaken
rigging made a great rattling to the
very trucks. All the lights went out;
several chain-guys, snapping, clat
tered against the funnel; there were
crashes, pings of parted iron-rope,
splintering sounds, loud cracks; the
masthead lamp flew over the bows
and all the doors about the deck be
gan to bank heavily"
Tb point T am xryTne tip make is
tbia that, though the mariner's
compass was one of the greatest in
ventions ever made by man. had the
captain in this story, as undoubted
ly in many another instance, been
steering by the North Star, he
would not have suffered ship wreck.
An Incident
Ah, the North Star. Gods beacon
of fidelity!
Well I remember a little group
gathered on a Wednesday night in a
Filipino shack, far away from the
white man's land. There were two
young lieutenants and two school
teachers man and wife. They were
seated around an oblong, glistening
nana wood table, eating the ice
cream served by Moio boys, when
suddenly the round-burner lamp be
gan dancing a t urious mazurka up
and down, as a fat lady not very
familiar with the steps. It happened
most abruptly, this curious dance,
over the shiny table, and as accom
l animent for it the creaking of the
large bamboo beams that furnished
the frame work of our nipa dwell
ing, i stumbled out of the house as
quickl as 1 could, after diving tor
our lamp and blowing out the flame
which, as darkness came, left behind
a thick smell of kerosene. I was
guided to the entry by hearing the
spoons from the ice cream dishes
latter from step to step as our
guests and my better half got out.
I joined them outside in the street
shaking dizzily. We stood in front
of the house, telegraph poles still
swaying, house still creaking, and
ground moving as the swell of an
ocean after a storm. "When will it
collapse?" we asked each other,
watching anxiously, in the bright
moonlight, the small house which
we had for several months called
home. Then the tremblings died
out. No one who has not experienc
ed a heavy earthquake shock can ap
preciate the consternation caused by
one. In this case comfort came to
us, as we looked up the street named
Magellan, but called by us Ameri
cans Smelly avenue. There, low
down on the horizon, very much
lower than we expect to see it here,
shone the North Star, familiar mark
in our life twelve thousand miles
away.
Ah, the North Star, God's beacon
of fidelity!
Clock Stopped at Eleven
The clock stopped at eleven is a
constant reminder of our brothers
who have answered to the insistent
call of Nature anil gone farther.
Every night at eleven, for a minute
or two. our lodge rooms are darken
ed and we think of our loss. Faults
forgotten, virtues written on tablets
of loving memory. Not alone of those
who have left us forever, but also
of those temporarily absent. At this
time you are thinking you of Num
ber 7.1? particularly of your broth
ers. This comfort is left to you, and
to us. as in the case of all who have
been summoned, the words of Plato,
quoted from his teacher, Socrates:
"I shall no longer remain with you.
but shall depart to some happy state
of the blessed. '
At the close of the address. Mrs.
James T. Begley sang very charm
ingly "Just for Today," by Abbott,
which was a fitting close of the im
pressive and beautiful service.
After the ceremonies by the offi
cers of the lodge the benediction
dismissed the members of the lodge
and the audience who departed very
much impressed by the beauty of
the ceremony
WHY SUFFER SO?
Get Back Your Health as Other
Plattsmonth Folks Have Done
Too many people suffer lame, ach
ing backs, distressing kidney dis
orders and rheumatic aches and
pains. Often this is due to faulty
kidney action and there's danger of
hardened arteries, dropsy, gravel or
Bright's disease. Don t let weak kid
neys wear you out. Use Doau's Pills
before it is too late! Doan's are a
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
Doan's have helped thousands. They
should help you. Here is one of
many Plattsmouth cases:
Leland O. Bennett, 319 Marble
street, says: "Heavy lifting together
with exposure weakened my kidneys.
My kidneys acted so freely I had to
get up several times at night and
the secretions scalded in passage. My
back became so lame and sore I
could hardly work, and a dull, gnaw
ing ache made me iose my sleep at
night. After using one box of
Doan's Pills from the Mauzy Drug
company. I was relieved and T am not
subject to these attacks any more."
Mr. Bennett is only one of many
Plattsmouth people who have grate
fully endorsed Doan s Pills. If your
back aches if your kidneys bother
you. don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy ask distincly for DOAN'S
PILLS, the same that Mr. Bennett
had the remedy hacked by home
testimony. 60 cent- at all dealers.

Boads "50-50" Plan for

Practically unanimous opposition
met the "fifty-fifty" plan of the Ne
braska Good Roads association fur
expenditure ol any money raised in
Nebraska from a gasoline tax for
good roads in the convention of
two hundred and fifty county offi
cials from every section of Nebras
ka, at the Castle hotel yesterday,
says the World-Herald
The officials comprise county com
missioners, supervisors, clerks aud

tion passed with only a few dissent
ing votes, the convention went on
record as favoring a 2-cent gasoline
tax. the money to be used exclusive
ly in counties where it originates
for highway construction, mainten
ance, etc.
The Good Roads association's plan
was to pool T.l per cent oi the fund
from all counties under control of
the state highway commission and
send the remainder back to the
counties where it originated for use
in road construction there. Fear was
expressed by many deb-gates that it
the fund or any part of it should be
turned over to the state for expen
diture on good roads, it would go
toward "tourists' routes" or arter
ial highways, which they said would
be of very little benefit to the farm
ers. Commissioner Charles I'nitt of
Douglas county and Chris Anderson,
one of the supervisors of Kearn J
county, led the opposition to the
Good Roads association's plan, sub
stituting the resolution which final
ly passed.
"We want any money coming
from a ga-soline tux to be used in the
counties where it originates, because
we know the roads that will be of
most benefit to the farmers will be
constructed." said Anderson. "Just
