begun to gain a foothold on United
States soil and to march through Geor-
gle and the rest of the states.
Brother, you and 1, 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 u 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
fisticufs, 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
The boy scout propaganda teaches
discipline. 1t teaches the universal
brotherhood Of boys. It teaches boys
to be just and generous to each other
and works toward the elimination Of
the gang idea, so that the south
siders win not lie In wait for the west
enders with an arsenal of brickbatS.
Did You Never Train?
Millions Of American men now in
life's prime recall that old piece Of
verse in MeGuffey's Third Reader
which began something like this:
oh, were you ne'er a soldier,
And did you never train
And feel the swelling of the heart
You ne'er can feel again?
When you and l were boys, particu-
larly if we lived in the border states
or on the edges Of the Mason and
Dixon line, we used to divide accord
ing to the "Reb" or Fed sentiment
and do sham battling that sometimes
developed into something ~perilously
near to a shambles, which the diction-
airy tells US is a place for slaughtering
meat. We did such things simply be
cause every boy who has red drops In
his arteries must have some means OF
working of his military enthusiasm.

Duck bv Duck.

An old farmer had brought twenty
ducks to the market to sell and, after
the usual amount Of haggling insepa-
rable from a bargain of that descrip-
ton. managed to dispose Of the lot to
a dealer.
That's 30 shillings l have to give
you.n said the dealer as he proceeded
to count it out.
But the old chaps strong point was
not arithmetic, and he was not salts
fed with this mode Of payment.
ssNoa. noa!r he exclaimed. Eye
boneht them at wan an six apiece, an
ven list pay for them duck by duck"

discipline not too severe for comfort
SO that they might spend a consider
able part of their time in Gods great
outdoors and learn some OF the field
tactics which come in handy when
there is a real war.
Not Primarily Military.
1t cannot be denied that the original
idea of the general was to teach the
young British idea how to sprout in
bristltng fashion, ready later on to be
a virile force for the upholdirg Of the
empire. But the Baden-Powell begin
ming has developed a still more practi-
cal thing-the incubation Of personal
honor, fraternal feeling and manly
habits Of acting and thinking.
So the boy scout movement comes to
the United States, after more than
100000 English boys have been organ
lied and drilled, as a peace proposition
rather than a war measure. Edwin d.
Hors1eld Of Edinburgh planted the
seed Of the boy scout propaganda, In
this country at Springfield, Mass. He

Christian association into a company
based upon the Baden-Powen plan,
with ofshoots suggested by expert
ence. These are the fundamental prin.
ciples:
A scouts honor is to be trusted. A
scout is loyal to his country and his
employers. A scouts duty is to be
useful and to help others. A scout is
a friend to all and a brother to every
other scout, 10 matter to what social
class the other belongs. A scout is
courteous. He is a friend to all ami
mails. He obeys orders. He smiles
and whistles under all circumstances.
He is thrifty. This is the pledge he
takes:
81 will do my duty to God and nv
country. I will do my best to help
others, whatever it costs me. I know
the scout law and viii obey it."
Some professional moralist might
manufacture a better code Of ethics
for American boys, but he doesn't hap
pen to have done so.
And you mustn't imagine that this
set Of principles turns any Of the boys
against the movement. It does not.
There is much in the scout plan that

HAIL TO BOY SCOUTS
Novel idea Which Tends to De.
veIOp BOyiSh Lads Into Manly
Men-BOdieS of Scouts to Be
Organized In Every State.


We know now that war is what Gen,
eraf 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 lighting
men in the imminent deadly breach.
This progressive world of ours has
worked along to healthier, saner and
safer ideals. Boys will be boys as al
ways, but today some Of those who
used to be boys have devised a 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
hood, but incidentally out Of the Boer
war in South Africa, the boy scout
movement has evolved. General Rob
ert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powen,
one of the conquering heroes of that
struggle against the heroic rifemen 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 a look in at
the English boys and conceived the no
ton that he could organize them into
a great army of peace, with military

you a boy scout? No? Then you'd
better get busy and be one, for the
boy scout movement has begun to per-
colate through the forty-six states and
the several territories Of the grandest
republic that ever flashed a flag to the
heavens.
Just now, while young America is
looking forward to the celebration of
independence day and old America is
preparing a few weeks earlier to pay
tribute to the boys Of 81, it is fitting
that the boy scout movement, which
teaches morality through modified mil
itarism and ~inculcates patriotism
through the play soldier business, has

DIR. John w. Stage, president of the
Alabama Presbyterian college. when
asked for statement of his views on
the recent Jeffries-Johnson prize fight,
and the consequent rioting and killing
throughout the United States, laid all the
blame for this trouble at the door of the
white man.
DR.. Stage Is a genuine friend of the me-
gro, and he is author Of valuable treatises
on the race question, which are consid-
cred to make his views worth while. He
says that the primary wrong was CON-
mitted by the white man when he granted
the negro equality by meeting him at first
in the ring. 1t is but natural Dr. Stage
says, for the negroes to rejoice over the
victory OF the black man, which became
legitimate after the white man had
stopped to basis of racial equality.

FARMERS UNION MEETS

Admission, July 7.-tSpecial) 1.-The ex-
plosion of a gasoline tank attached to
freight train No. 7s on the Southern
tracks en- route to Atlanta from Birming-
him this morning set fire to six cars
of coal and created a conflagration tnat
was spectacular in the extreme and wnicn
was the cause of great arrangement In
the schedule of passenger trains over
the route throughout the day. The acci-
dent occurred near Bynum.
There were II cars of coal and one of
gasoline in the train. The wreck was
caused by twisted flange on one of the
center cars this fact accounting for the
absence of accident to any of the train
or engine crews at the two ends of the
freight, which was in charge of Con-
ductor sgd Baxter of Atlanta and En-
gineer Nutall of Birmingham.
The wreck occurred about o'clock and
Southern passenger No. 40, due here at
about 9 o'clock, arrived on the scene and
came near having a collision before the
wreck was noticed. 1t then had to de-
tour by way of Pell City over the Sea-
board as have all other passenger trains
during the day.
Division Superintendent ]. Fl. Stanfield
arrived on the scene at about II o'clock.
He estimated that the damage would be
between 5000 and 10000. all of the coal
belonging to the company. At the same
hour wrecker arrived over the Louis
Vile and Nashville in charge of w. d.
Flood of Admission, and work was i'm
mediately begun in clearing the track. No
material progress was made in this d.
recton, however, until fire engine was
brought from Birmingham and placed in
a nearby creek with derrick, water thus
being pumped as to extinguish the
burning coal, large part of which has
been saved.
The tracks were badly torn up, ties
burnt out and rails twisted. All the dam
age was repaired late tonight, however,
and regular schedules will be resumed
tomorrow morning according to Superin-
tendent Stanfeld.
