The Boy Scouts.

The Boy Scout movement. which is
just now strikingly in evidence through
the assemblaSe of a national convention
in this city, is d Signitican. factor In
the national life. 1t is not necessarily
Il token of militarism, although the boys
are being drilled in military movements.
1t is no more calculated to make the
American people a nation of soldiers than
are the cadet corps of the various schools
scattered throughout the country. The
military fern Of organization has been
adopted for two purposes, to interest the
boys in something different from their
ordinary lines of activity and to get
them out of doors for a series of exer-
cises that will be beneficial physically
as we'll as morally.
In England the Boy Scout work was
started in direct consequence of the dis
closures of the Boer war. The lamen-
table showing of the British soldier
in South Africa caused the English peo-
pie to realize that the young men Of
the country were not we'll developed or
well disciplined. To arouse their pa
triotism, as we'll as to evolve them into
sound, Tesohrceful men, Gen. Baden-Pow-
ell inaugurated this movement, which
has vitalized the British youth and is
today rated as one OF the most important
tendencies of the time, both educationally
and morally.
The boy problem is a serious one, and
it can be solved only through the most
careful study and the wisest measures.
In the present conditions Of life boys
are surrounded by circumstances that
tend to test them They are distracted
by amusements, thrown into the most
varied associations, brought frankly
into contact with unwholesome factors.
The schools are doing excellent work in
keeping their minds and bodies occupied,
but there remains large field of oppor-
tunity for further endeavor, and 1t is this
field that the Boy Scouts are now &C.
cupying. The President of the United
States has attested his keen interest in
this enterprise, accepting the position
OF honorary president and member of
the council. The movement is fostered by
men who have made a close study of
juvenile questions, and who firmly believe
that by affording the boys an outlet for
their energies in miniature field maneu-
vers and camping expeditions and drills
they are bcnefitinS the rising generation
through the preservation of health and
the formation OF character. Under COM
petent direction this work can be made
of Invaluable service in evolving a gen.
Grafton of self-reliant, sturdy, patriotic
young men. Numbering now more than
SOC, 600 members. and rapidly growing, it
has gained proportions that warrant the
most sympathetic consideration as ma
tional influence.

Publicity for Cities.
rom the Duluth Herald

There is common sense in the bill
before the legislature providing au-
thority for cities to appropriate money
for booster purposes. The advantages
Of publicity are recognized today a.
they never were before, and. the APP
plication to municipalities OF the prn-
ciple that it pays to advertise has be
come an established factor in Ameri-
can city management. In every state
there are cities that are profitinS by q
expenses incurred in the management,
OF such a system have been met b.
private subscription. In other cases
they are covered by the treasures OF
organizations. and in yet others wholly
or partly by appropriations from the
city's funds.

The Sensible Swain.

Why should I seek to praise her eyes
In phrases rudely coined,
And name the qualities so priced,
Which all in her are joined;
Why should scan the distant sky,
And search the land and sea,
AS for new SMILES I try q
Her tributes fit to be?
Nay, nay! I'll burn no midnight Oil

Nor ink fair pages in the toll
That i'll rcquites my time.

And purchase at the store
A valentine expressing all

In view Of the definite refusal Of Con-

The tire beneath the motor car

The sassy bubble in the drink

The fan my lady proudly plies
Has value oft that would surprise
The prices that We pay are queer
For nothing more than atmosphere.
