BEST IN THE WORLD.
American Boys, Unrivaled, Should
Make a Great Scouting Body.

The boy scout movement promises to
be q greater success in this country
than in England, because it more ex.
actly suits the American spirit and an
swers the American need.
1t undertakes to train million boys
into a living and practical sense Of
their relation to society at large-to put
into their heads and hearts the idea
that every good private citizen is in
some sense a public man.
The military nations of the Old
World accomplish similar end
through a burdensome and repressive
system of conscription. The military
burden of Europe is wellnigh intoler-
able. Indeed, it would not be tolerated
at all if it were wholly unmixed evil
European peoples submit to the per-
petual discipline of the camp because
in spite of the vast abuse and waste OF
militarism. there is felt to be a solid
social advantage in having young men
brought up to consider the welfare OF
their country as something that has
right to prevail over all private inter-
eSts.
There is no reason why self-goy-
erning people should not incuicate
similar devotion in it's youth without
saddiing itself with standing army
In fact. the breeding of free, chiv-
alrous. and soldierly spirit in the youth
of the land is the best possible safe
guard against military tyranny.
American boys are. of course the
best BOYS in the yorld. But they are
likely to have a deficient sense of pub
lie responsibility. and they do not ex-
eel on the side of large-scale coopera-
ton and teamplay.
That is why they grow UP to Amerl-
can manhood and permit their private
business to engross them to such an
extent that their public business fails
into the hands of political bosses
The hov scout movement Is an eau-
cationa, revival of lf-governing de-
mocracy.
1t makes patriotism an EVERYDAY az
fair, frees it from mere JUNCTION anu
platitude and gives it emotionai iea'-
ity and driving force.
Such lessons cannot be taught IRON,
books. They must be learned out VI
doors in contact with natural ooJe..s
and the kind of things that boys reahs
care about.
This movement involves no pecunia's
charity or patronage, nut 1t neeos
little financing at the start on

vast moral implications and posslpih-
ties should hasten to lend manu-

PROSPECTS NOT BRIGHT
For Early Settlement Of Strike on tn:
Grand Trunk.

Montreal, July CIV. L. Mackenzie.
minister of labor. today conferred with
President Hays of the Grand Trunk anI
Chairman Murdock of the strikers gen
eral committee. Both sides agreed that
the prospects for a settlement of the
strike are not bright. but the ministe:
of labor will continue his efforts to bring
the opponents together.
The stumbling block appears to be
the refusal of the Grand Trunk to take
back all the men who went out on
strike and the insistence of the men
that this shall be done as preliminary
to arbitration. Not only do they in
sist on all the men being taken back,
but that they shall hereafter have their
former rights and positions regardless
of any arrangements the company has
made since the strike began.

EFFECTS OF COCAINE.
Fascinating at First, but the Crav-
ing Causes Intense Agony.

There is no drug so fascinating in
its perfect relief of discomfort fatigue

haustion as cocaine" says the Medical
Record. The impression which fol-
lows from it's use is that of renewed
vigor and unusual capacity. as if some
new force has been added.
THE first after effects following the
withdrawal are of short duration and
not especially painful Later this
condition increases. The pain takes
on mental activity. species of ir-
ritative melancholia and profound ex-
haustion which seeks relief at all
times and under any circumstances.
Mature seems to protest against
the physical and psychic injury done
in the most alarming way This is
seen in the facial agony Of the Co
caine taker when deprived of the
drug. His sufferings are internal
and not see in muscular excitement
The profound change that follows it's
use in the quiet face. serene satis-
faction and perfect relief is evidence
of it's effects.
There appears to be a more pro-
nounced susceptibility to this drug
than to alcohol or. opium. Very few
cases are found in which the effects
are unpleasant. Many persons be-
come alarmed when they discover its
tremendous fascinating effects and
make great efforts to escape. In their
efforts to accomplish this they turn to
morphine spirits and other drugs.
"A great many cocaine takers in
this country are poisoned by spirits
and drugs and are exhausted before
cocaine is taken. and the relief which
this brings them is a new experience.

addiction can be concealed for some

is no particular significance In this,
however, as Supt. Frost of Scotland
Yard, has already pointed out. So
long as the suspects are under sur
veillance their escape or attempts at
suicide are guarded against and their
actual arrest before their identity was
established beyond all doubt. would
serve no special purpose.
A false arrest on the other hand'
might be embarrassing and all that
Scotland Yard expects of Capt. Ken
dali is that he shall land his passen-
gers safely where they may be seen
by Inspector Dew. 1t was Dew who
interviewed Crippen in London and he
knows the man well. 1t was Dew also
to whom Scotland Yard says Crippen's
promise was given that he would not
leave London until the mystery sur
rounding tine disappearance of his ac-
tress wife Belle Elmore. was cleared
up. A personal element enters into
the keen activity of Inspector Dew,
as he has been sharply criticized by
the press and public in London by
some members of Parliament for not
arresting Crippen at the time suspi-
cion was first strongly directed against
him.
Circumstantial and positive identifi-
cation according to police standards.

the Montrose actually reaches port so
that the suspected parties can be con-
fronted by persons who have known
them before. Further wireless mes
sages can only repeat the belief OF
those on board the ship. none of whom
had heretofore known Crirpen so far
as is known. One report is to the ef-
feet that the steward of the steamer
lived in the vicinity of Hilldrop Cres-
cent, where the Crippens resided. but
this has not been confirmed.

During the negotiations between!
Spain and Vatican over the church and
stat situation. Marquis De Ojeda has
complained of i'll health. On July II
the negotiations were suspended be-
cause of his illness. and last Monday it
was stated that he was insisting in the
most pressing terms on being relieved
of his duties as ambassador to the
Vatican.
The order sent to Marquis De Ojeda to
leave his post signifies that the rupture
which Senior Canalejas described as in
evitabe is virtually fait accompli. Mar
quis De Ojeda himself in addition to
pleading Illness has been insisting upon
his return on the ground that the posi-
ton of the government at Rome was no
longer tenable and. that he considered a
rupture between the Vatican and the
government imminent.
Spain's initiative in recalling Ambassa-
dor De Ojeda is expected to be followed
by the departure from Madrid of Mon
signor Bico, when the rupture will be
complete.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who Is sup
posed to be something Of an artist az
we'll as an actress, was recently call
ed upon in n Of her marvellous crea-
tons to enact the role of a sculptor,
and to model a certain bust In view of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill in ham
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little Of the artistic tricks Of actors
and actresses; as a matter of fact. she
does nothing OF the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and ove 1t IL
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off. exposing the beautifully modelled

Ranchmen Will Feed Corn

Jelle Fourche-Quaitities of corn

large flock of sheep on contract
which calls for the feeding of one
half ounce of corn per head daily,
commencing November I. This will
be continued for one month, when
the supply will be increased to a full

the sheep will be in much better
