THE s1A1E PRINTER AND BINDER.

A number of those political war
riors who deserve well of their factions
are lined up for the Offices Of state
printer and state binder. As long as
the office exists in Iowa theirs is a
5usuhaple and even laudabie ambition.
The office IS to be allied a good man

Ii the legislature were 70 disappoint
all these aspirants It would be good
thing. The offices should be abolished.
AT any rate a new deal should be made.
For the past few years the offices have
been fairly administered but two o.

and the verdict Of the court Is mat

corporation would dream OF employing
the same methods. When the .sg:sla-

SENATOR YOUNG ASGERED.

Senator Cumn.ins is a disappoint-

was hopeful that overiureS for peace

But the senior senator has brought

senior senator is so nusy with great

to one buoyed up by hope Of being OF

The Treync- Faado-d IS opposed TO
the boy scout propaganda apparently
because il does not know anything
about the movement and is objects 1t
has in some manner become convinced
tlcat The boy scout movement IS allied
TO miUtarism and that militia rism ss
its object. Being thus deceived i, as
serts that:
Those people who are back OF the
idea have fallen Ear short Of the realiz-
alton Of the real purpose OF man.
Those editorial brethren who are ad-
vertising it and advocating II are fall
ing short Of the ideals of their profess
sion. The drilling and training OF
boys in this particular line has a tend
encv to make war machines OF them
when peace machines are needed The
same amount of mechanical training
would reflect more credit or their
teachers and make them better citizens
of the boys.
It is pity that the editor failed to
make inquiry into the movem ent: be-
cause his sentiments do him great
credit il they had not been expressed in
apparently utter ignorance of the sub
ject. The boy scout movement is as
far away from militarism as organiza-
ton can get. 1t is what the Treynor
paper desires ri to De-traifling in the
arts Of peace, mechanical, agricultural,
professional. It is also training in the
elementary and fundamental essentials
