MANY INCIDENTS PROVE THE
BOY SCOUTS ARE NOT
MILITARY.

Many things have occurred In the
last week to disprove the charge of So
cialists, labor leaders and others that
the Boy Scouts of America IL miii-
tary organization, designed to train
boys for war. William Verbeck, adju-
tant- general of New York State. and
a member of the National Council of
the Boy Scouts of America, ably re-
futed the charge about militarism.
While kecnly Interested In the Boy
Scout movement and firm believer
In IL az q means of developing the boys
character and giving him healthy out
door fun, he laments the fact that the
Boy Scout movement Is not military.
In one public speech he complained of
the lack of military spirit In this coun-
try and said that the United States Is
not ready for war. He cited various
peace movements as tending to prevent
the development Of the military spirit
and referred especially to the peace
conference of Andrew Carnegie and to
the hostility to things military shown
by the Boy Scouts of America. Gen
cral Nerbeck. has been connected with
the Boy Scout movement since Its In
ceptlon I'm this country and Is president
of the Manlius Boys Military School,
so that what he says about the Boy
Scout movement may be regarded as
authoritative. Another proof Of the
peace aims OF the Boy Scouts organ
ization Is shown by the endorsement
given II by the Friends Educational
Conference" I'm Philadelphia. Before
this decision was reached a thorough
gtudy Of the movement was made by
various representatives Of the society
and they reported heartily in favor of
II as teaching the cardinal virtues
through play and leading boys to un-
derstand higher ideals. That many So
Clalists misunderstood the Boy Scout
movement Is indicated by n meeting
held recently in Troy, n. Y. g. NJ
Connolly. Scout Commissioner. met In
public meeting group Of Socialists.
and after explaining the aims of the
Boy Scout movement, he found no one
who was not satisfied with its aims.

and it is probable that in the new
Manual of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea he will have several pages de-
voted to these symbols and their
meanings If the boys learn them
they can read the messages of the ho-
boes along the public highways. If
the signs are dangerous to people
the boys can rub them off and warn
the police. All this means that the
secrecy Of the hoboes will be destroy
ed thanks to Beard and the energy
of the Boy Scouts of America. IL
means that If the hoboes wish to
continue their symbolistic commune
cation, they must work out new signs
and this would take years.

THE FASTEST GAME FOR
SEASON
It Was Played Saturday by @Speed
Rows. and Ticonnetts of Wateryille.

In the fastest and best game at
Fairview park this season, Ticonnett
beat Skowhegan Saturday afternoon
by a score of 8 to 0. Neither side
scored until the fourth inning, and
from then until the ninth the result
was very much in doubt. Both SLAP
artists pitched good ball, while Lawfy
and o. Lacasce led In the batting.
Ticonnett earned the first run by
three successive singles In the fourth
then added one on an error by Il.
Lacasce In the seventh, and another
on Goulette's tumble In the ninth.
Skowhegan looked good for score
three different times. In the third o.
Lacasce got a single and made third
on sacrifices by Goulette and Laney,
but died there when Dore famed. In
the sixth Pooler got first on an err
ror by D. LaFleur and made third on
E. Lacasce's single, but Holway then
pulled down Dore's hot liner for the
third out. Things got interesting
again in the eighth when 0. Lacasce
hunted and beat the throw to first. He
stole second and reached third on
an error by w. Blair. Pooler came
up with two on bases and only one
out, and on the second ball pitched O..
Lacasce started for home expecting a
bunt. The ball went out of reach
however and the runner was caught
at the plate. Pooler finally walked,
but E. Lacasce went out at first re-
firing the side Skowhegan also did
some very clever fielding in the fifth.
With one out E. Blair got first on
Goulette's error. Then Black drove
single to left field that looked like
pass home for Blair. o. Lacasce

Hon. S. W. Gould, congressman
from the Third District of Maine, is
at home for a few days from Wash
ington, D. c. He has with him as his
guest, Congressman Cox of Indiana.
This is Congressman Goulds first
visit home since he began his SER
vices at the special session. The hot
weather has had no bad effect on our
congressman and Washington atmos-
phere, whether political or social, has
wrought good effect on the counte-
nance of Mr.. Gould. He meets his
old friends in the same jocular way,
but at the same time his expression
bears signs of deep thought on the
Schedule X tariff bill. Mr.. Gould be-
lieves that the special session will
close in. about week, but it is I'M
certain in his mind just what day.

would have the people believe that
the repeal of the Prohibitory law
would merely take it out of the con-
stitution, but we would still have
Statewide Prohibition. They don't
believe what they say, nor does the
National Liquor Dealers Association
believe that we would still have State
wide Prohibition. If it does, why is
it putting $4,000 into the State to
fight Prohibition?
