THE CALDWELL-WALKE
BEST IN THE WORLD.

The boy-scout movement promises
to be a greater success in this coun-
try than in England, because it more
exactly suits the American spirit and
answers the American need. says the
New York American.
II undertakes to train a million
boys into 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 public man.
The military nations of the Old
World accomplish a similar end by
means of burdensome and repress-
i've system of conscription. The mil
itary burden of Europe is well-nigh
intolerable. Indeed, it would not be
tolerated at all, if it were a wholly
unmiXed evil.
European peoples submit to the
perpetual discipline of the camp be-
cause, 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 some
thing that has right to prevail over
all private interests
There is no reason why a self-gUv-
erning people should not inculcate a
similar devotion in its youth without
saddling itself with a standing army.
In fact, the breeding of free.
chivalrous and soldierly spirit in the
youth OF the land is the best possible
safeguard against military tyranny.
American boys are. OF course. the
best boys in the world: but they are
likely to have a deficient sense OF
public responsibility, and they do not
excel ON the side of large-scale CO.
operation and team play.
That is why they grow up to Amer
lean manhood and permit their pri-
vate business to engross them to such
an extent that their public business
falls into the hands of political boss
es.
The boy-scout movement is an ed
ucational revival of self-governing
democracy. 1t makes patriotism an
everyday affair. frees it from mere
unction and platitude and gives II
emotional reality and driving force.
Such lessons cannot be taught
from books; they MUST be learned
out of doors in contact with natural
objects and the kind of things that
boys really care about.
This movement involves no pecun-
iary charity or patronage. but it needs
little financing at the start-off.
Those who have some inkling of
its vast moral implications and possi-
bilities should hasten to lend a hand.

WANTS BIG DAMAGES
FOR AFFECTION LOSS

Montrose. Colo, July PA s25.-
goo damage suit was instituted in
the court at this place last evening"
the action involving some salacious
features which are given in detail in
the petition ffed through her attor-
ney.
The alienation of a husbands af-
feCtion for his wife is the basis of
the proceeding, which is brought by
Mrs. May V. Thayer, formerly of this
city, but more recently residing in
Illinois. against Mrs. Lille r. York,
we'll known resident OF this city.
The petition sets forth the fact
that the plaintiff, Mrs. Thayer, was
married to f. b. Thayer on July 2,
1880, at Kankakee, H., and that they
lived together happily as husband
and wife until the interference of the
defendant, Mrs. York. II is alleged
IN the petition that from the time of
the arrival of Mr.. Thayer in Mont
rose he became subject to the allure
ments of Mrs. York. Mr.. Thayer had
come to Montrose first, and later sent
for Mrs. Thayer, stating that he was
to handle a Mrs. York's farm here.
Almost Immediately upon her ar
rival in Montrose in the spring of
1908, Mrs. Thayer states in her petit
tion that she discovered that Mrs.
York was infatuated with her hus-
band. and that the defendant contin-
ued to court Thayer even after her
arrival, with all the contrivances and
arts. seductions, coaXings and even
threats, which We're at her command.
she using all the wiles OF wicked,
immoral and designing woman to
win the love of the husband from his
wife, and to completely ALLEVIATE the
affections of Mr. Thayer from the
plaintiff.

The Post proved a paying investment
from the start. Later Mr.. Hunt pur-
chased the Intelligencer.
Mr.. Hunts first financial coup was
in connection with the prospected
navy yards at Seattle. Learning about
four of a certain afternoon the govern
ment's probable choice Of a site for
these yards, Mr.. Hunt hurried off and
before nightfall had secured an OPP
ton on the land. He cleared 5000, 900
on the deal.

attic and to the Office of the Post-In-
telligencer a young civil engineer

bling with a project which he proceed
ed enthusiastically to lay before the
owner of the publication. His propo-
sition was the purchase in conjunc-
tion with Mr.. Hunt of lands adjoining
the city, and the Inauguration of a
boom which should net each of the
promoters an Independent fortune.
The rest is the history of Seattle's
boom of the early nineties, which net
ted Leigh Hunt a cool million.
Then came the panic of 1893, and
the proprietor of the Post-Intelligencer
came out Of the crisis worsted t o the
extent of that same million-and then
some.
Again he cut loose. This time
Korea was his ultimate refuge, and
here it was that fortune perched
again. and finally, upon his banner,
and he now has a fortune beside
which the shorter lived one swal-
lowed by the panic in Seattle was a
mere bagatelle.
