ALL HAIL TO BOY SCOUTS
Novel Idea Which Tends to De-
yeIOp BOyish Lads Into Manly
Men Bodies of Scouts to Be
Organized In Every State.

We know now that war is what Cen
eral Sherman said it is, and we have
no desire to shut up the ledgers. lock
up the grocery store, close down the
pickle factory and don the habiliments
of martial combat just for the glory of
the thing.
But when we were boys each Of us
hoped some day to excel Napoleon or
Washington or Grant or Lee or Stone
wall Jackson as a leader Of fighting
men in the imminent deadly breach.
This progressive world Of ours has
worked along to healthier. saner and
safer ideals. Boys win be boys as al
ways, but today some Of those who
used to be boys have devised method
of venting military enthusiasm which
tends toward the development OF boy
ish boys into manly men.
And the boy scout movement is the
method.
Primarily out of the needs of boy
war in South Africa, the boy scout
movement has evolved. General Rob-
ert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell,
one Of the conquering heroes OF that
struggle against the heroic rifiemen Of
the veldts, is the originator Of this
movement, which began in England
and has just begun to spread in the
United States. General Baden-Powell
after he quit fighting took look In at
the English boys and conceived the no
ton that he could organize them into
a great army of peace, with military

Brother, you and I, who are cavorting
around the edges of forty and still
feeling the freshness of boyhood I'M
derneath the visible surface, must con-
fess that we envy the boys of 1910.
They didn't have the boy scouts In our
days in the delectable kingdom of
Boyville. We had to shift for our
selves, finding our fun independently.
We played ''bull ring and three cor
nered cat when we wanted the real
strenuity of things outdoors, and we
had to do our own organizing for the
sport Frequently there was a woeful
lack Of organization. and when the old
solid rubber ball, wrapped tightly with
a thin layer of yarn, plunked us in the
plexus we sometimes resented it with
6stfcuffs, which method was inelegant
and unmanly, no matter what may be
said as to the desirability of the manly
art of self defense.
The trouble was we lacked discipline

"Why not stop kissing? 1t is a time

sufficient strength can be gained to
convince the world that kissing is per-

Attached to the circular Is a pledge,
which converts are urged to sign and
