BURKE's CHARGE AGAINST WATSON.

BURKE's CHARGE AGAINST WATSON.
Whether in 1900 Tom Watson offered
to aid the republicans for . finan-
cial consideration we do not know.
Representative Burke, of North Dakota,
says he did. He himself says he did
not. II We look into the probabilities
instead Of the certainties this is what we
face:
Mr.. Burke has no known motive for
making the assertion If 1t were not true.
II true, Tom WATSON would have. "a
strong 9 motive in denying it as q MUIR
derer would have in denying the perpe-
tration of the crime; for nothing that
man can conceive Of could be baser than
the offense with which he II charged.
At the time he was running for vice.
president on the ticket With Bryan,
whom he was trying to sell out il Mr..
Burke tells the truth. In the entire
history Of American politics we cannot
recollect any man who was ever guilty
of as base an act, but it fits perfectly
with our conception Of Tom Watson's
character.
A man elected to congress as demo
'orat and serving as . populist might
have done this.
A man holding on to q nomination on
the ticket with Bryan and thereby seek
ing to divide the electoral vote, when BY
withdrawing he would have increased
Brysn's chances Of election, might havs

of charging against any other ~
prominent in American politics.
But to disprove this charge Of q con

Professor j. ]. Exner. the we'll
known painter, died the other day,
aged eighty-fve years. Exner belonged
to the older type of Danish artists and
is classed with the so called Dussell-
dorf school of artists. He took his
motives, most of them, from the ANA
ger farmers and he has portrayed
their life most vividly with pen and
brush. He travelled extensively and
spent several years in Sweden and
Italy and made many of his best paint
ings in those countries. Exner was
at the Academy of Arts in COpenha-
gen and became a professor at that in
stitution in 1876.
1t takes money to run city like
Copenhagen and the city council has
had to spend so much money during
the past year that it will have some
trouble in convincing the people that
they have been absolutely necessary
expenditures. The total expenditures
for the last year were not less than
$8,600,000 and there has arisen de-
ficit which amounts to the neat little
sum of $1,300,000. The increase of
the population was about 5000. The
value of the taxable property is
placed at $228,70O,0OO and the bank
deposits aggregate $95,S5O,OOO.
Within the near future Baron Ceder-
strom will start his flying school in
Copenhagen and will teach ambitious
aeronauts how to fly in the Bleriot
monoplanes, of which he has at least
two to give exhibitions with. Baron
Cederstrom was so successful in his
flying trips in Bleriot monoplane in
Copenhagen last summer that people
have confidence in him and he will IN,
doubtedly have a number of pupils
Copenhagen will soon have hippo
drome, where the public will be invit-
ed to learn horseback riding for a
nominal admission fee. The building
is under course of construction and
will be completed some time next
month. Such a place will afford a lot
of amusement and will also prove to
be healthy and pleasant pastime for
the young men and women of the city.

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 Gen
eral Sherman said ii 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 will be boys as al
ways, but today some of those who
used TO he 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
hood, but incidentally out of the Boer
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 ri6emen Of
the vedts, is the originator of this
movement, which began i'm 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

It'cannot be denied that the original
idea of the general was to teach the
young British idea how to sprout in
bristling fashion, ready later ON to be

ming has developed still more practi-
cal thing--the incubation of personal
honor, fraternal feeling and manly
habits of acting and thinking.

with offshoots 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
friend to all and brother to every
other scout, no matter to what social
class the other belongs. A scout is
courteous. He is friend to all ami
mails. He obeys orders. He smiles
and whistles under all circumstances.
He is thrifty. This is the pledge he
takes:
II will do my duty to God and my
country. ! will do my best to help
others, whatever it costs me. know
the scout law and will obey It,"

fun and the general all round benefits
is eligible to enlistment. Scout organ
iZations have been formed already in
several of the great cities-New York,

to keep the boys off the streets. where
they are inclined 10 learn things and
do things not necessary 10 their future

The boy scout idea appeals with spe

cooped up in apartments and dats. and
to all towns where the conditions of
