The Boy Scout Movement

The development of the Boy Scouts' in America is earning well-deserved praise on all sides. True, there have that the movement is too military, but these have been few and are without foundation. Frank B. Arthurs, in the December Outing, thoroughly discusses the organization. He says, in part:
 Before going a step farther 1t might be well to correct anNimpression that is False, though 1t still persists in the minds of many and might with them prove hos tile to the Boy Scout movement. The Boy Scouts of America Is not military organization. Drill Is precisely the thing it aims to get away from. Drill Is monot- onous, and can be relied on by leader who Is looking for the line of least re- sistence. No one need fear that the Boy Scouts of America stand for militarsm in any sense.
 But in America, where we have no such intense military rivalries, there is no military significance to the Boy Scouts unless, indeed, it be preparing for war to have a body of healthy. keen-eyed alert, observant, capable boys growing to manhood. Here it's significance is very different from war and is best ex- pressed by story MT. Seton tells:
 "On certain estate in New England 1t was found several years ago that the boys of the town were extremely annoy ing. They would paint the gate and the fences; they seemed to bear fiendish Ill will against the owner and to vent it in depredations on the property at every safe opportunity. MT. Seton had bright idea. One day he invited a group of the town boys to come on the estate and camp. He told them to bring their friends.
 Most unexpectedly the boys did bring their friends and on the day appointed Mn Seton found himself taken at his word by upwards of 40 little white saw ages, as keen for fun as young America ever is. He told them they could go in swimming naked if they wished, in the lake. He led their sports, and that night. when they had thoroughly exhausted their animal spirits and were gathered about the campfire after a hearty dinner, he propounded his scheme. It was noth- ing less than organizing themselves into a band of play backwoodsmen and se- riously playing at woodcraft.
 Tt was settled with a shout of ap- proval. In short order Mr. Seton had those boys so in love with Nature that the problem of the owner of the estate was solved. There were no more depre- dattons In fact, Just the opposite-they protected the estate. One day a little fellow brought in a rabbit which he had secured from friend and turned it loose.
 "Thats to pay, sir, for one I killed when we used to sneak In here,' he said. referring to the former state of hostilities between the boys and the owner
 Tt is with some Ideal of creating wholesome love of Nature for Natures sake that Mr. Seton has taken hold of the Boy Scouts-peace scouts. War drill has no real part in it."

A Mexican Ball

From Harper's Weekly. | When the nine belles of the ball had seated themselves and arranged their skirts, their bare brown feet much in evidence below their snowy founces, they
 drew forth gaudy silk handkerchiefs, red
 ones and green ones and blue ones-they
 go in for strong colors in everything in
 Tehuantepec-and awaited the opening
 of the dance. The gringos stared and
 stared, and after sweeping the line all most every eye was turned upon the
 fourth young girl from the right of the line. She was splendid; tall and straight as reed. The upper part of her skirt was purple, her huipilta was red, her handkerchief was green, she had a. blue ribbon trimmed in her hair. and across one shoulder, falling back upon her chair, was yellow gauge scarf.
 Say, will you look at the fourth one?"
 'Why, I haven't looked at anything else?"
 "A little bit of all right-what?"
 T guess yes."
 Then another voice, over the shoulder.
 'Count four from the right, you people, and then stop"
 "Go away. son, you're late"
 The dance lasted probably ten minutes, and when the applause ceased "Number Four" very graciously smiling her ac- Acknowledgements the orchestra swung into a waltz, In an instant Number Four and Juan were up and at it, and the eyes of the gringos opened in amazement. For if there was one thing in the world that these natives could do 1t was waltz There was nothing hoppy or strange or aboriginal about it; 1t was such faltzing as Is seen only on rarely delightful occa- sions in a New York ballroom. It was superbly graceful, a finished performance and one to delight the heart of a dancing master. Other couples followed "Num- Der Four and Juan, and soon the small space granted by the crowd was filled with dancers Eevery one of them waltzed beautifully, and one of the grin gos recalled, with some chagrin, his re- ply to an inquiry whether he intended dancing with any of the women. His re- ply had been, Not on your life; at least not until see what they are going to do and how they do it." However, this gringo certainly did dance with the Te- huanas, and he is quite eager to admit that never in his life had he lighter or more graceful partners. How those wo- men could waltz and twostep! He must admit, too, that he thinks he stubbed one ladys toe; and it was a wonder he did it only once, because while her bare feet glided over the dirt floor with perfect smoothness. the heavy, thick-soled shoes of her partner were forever encountering It's inequalities. He felt quite as if he were pushing two ploughs through stubborn field.
 One of the gringos who spoke Spanish "sat out" part of a dance with 'Number Four" and to be gallant he told her that the Americans thought her very pretty. Without the least embarrassment she turned her level eyes upon him, smiled and said: That is very kind of them, but I fear they fiatter me too greatly. It is probably the influence of the newness of all this"

SOUTH AMERICAN SLAVES Indians in the Rubber District Receive
 Harsh Treatment

From the London Daily News.
 Baron E. Nordenskjold, the we'll known explorer and writer on ethnological and other subjects connected with South America, has made an important report to the Anti-slayery and Aborrigines Pro- lection society on the treatment of na- tive Indians in Peru and Bolivia.
 While I was travelling in Peru and Bolivia in 1904-5. and in Bolivia in 19OS-9 D he writes. I heard a great deal about the harsh treatment to which Indians are subjected in the rubber districts. I made it point. therefore, to endeavor to find out the terms upon which the Indians stand to the white population. On the one hand there occur occasional acts of

What says the voice of the people?" inquired the oracular alarmst.

THE COST OF ROOSEvELTISM"

Under this heading the New
York World has an editorial
article which contains some start
ling facts and figures. The editorial
follows:
The total expenditures of the
United States government from the
inauguration of Washington in
1879 to the beginning of the Civil
war in 1861 were 81, 1876, 273, 344.
ID.
The appropriation bills signed by
Theodore Roosevelt during hi.
second term in the White House,
from March a, 1905 to March -,
1909, authorized expenditures
amounting to 1882, 9S2,816.87.
Four years of Rooseveltism cost
twice as much as the first seventy
two years of the republic!
One term of Theodore Roosevelt
took twice as much money out of
the pockets of the American people
as the combined terms of Washing
ton, Adams, Jefferson, Madison,
Mon roe, john Quincy Adams,
Jackson, Van Buren,, Harrison,
Tyle-, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore
Pierce and Buchanan.
During the seventy-two years
covered by the administrations of
these fifteen presidents the United
States government paid the
Revolutionary war debt incurred
by the states. 1t paid the cost of
the war Of 1912. It paid the cost
of the Mexican var. 1t bought
Louisiana. 1t bought Florida. 1t
paid for the Gadsden purchase. 1t
acquired all that vast extent of
territory from the Mississippi
river to the Pacific ocean.
What have the American people
got to show for the four years of
Rooseveltism which cost double the
money?
And what would be the cost of
four years more of Roosevelt under
the new Nationalism?-K. C.
