Some of those canned" editO-
rials we see in our Democratic
exchanges are wonderful for
the lucidity and clearness of
their logic. Here is a sample:
Don't let any Republican spell
binder fool you with the argu-
ment that the government needs
the revenue from the tax on wool
and woolens. The truth is that
Uncle Sam gets a very small
part of this tax. For every SIS
the consumer pays as tax on
woolens under the present Re
publican protective system the
government gets Sl.0O and the
trust benefciaries of woolen
goods get the other Sl7,
What is a tax: The usual ac-
ceptance of the term tone which
must apply here) is that tax is
a levy upon the citizens for rev
enue for the payment of the cost
of government, which includes
all the public expenditures. LIE,
the government get only Sl.0C
out of every SIS of the tax on
wool and woolens, as alleged in
above paragraph, then S1.N

The postoftice inspectors in

The postOftice inspectors in
New York have just bagged four
of a group of stock promoters
operating in that city. They
were pushing upon the public the
stock of The American Leather
Co.. a concern that had practi-
cally no assets in physical pro
perty, and yet the promoters
succeeded in fleeing the public
out of at least a million dollars
through the sale of this worth
less stock. 1t seems strange
that with all the publicity that is
given these swindling schemes,
and as often as they are broken
up by the Postoffice Department,
the people should be ever ready
to bite at the next one that is Of
fered. 1t can be accounted for
only on the principle that there
is a sucker born every minute,
and as the old suckers gain wis,
dom through an expensive
experience the new ones
step in to take their places. The
SWindlers seem to know that
there are always a lot of people
ripe to hand over their hard
earned savings on get rich quick
representations. Don't invest
money in stock advertised tC
bring the buyer big returns on
the investment. The laXity OF
of the law, too, aids these swind
lers, for it never steps in in time
to save the people from their
operations. Let the pOStOtfice
inspectors start their investiga
ton of these sWindling concerns
as soon as their advertisements
appear and they will be promptly
run out of business before they
can do much harm.

There is quite a lot of discus

l. OA
sion in the newspapers lately
over the Boy Scout movement
that is now being advanced in
this conntry. The Boy Scout as
sociation was originated in Eng
land by a weil-known military
man. Ostensibly it's purpose is
not military, but is intended to
give the youths who join the So
ciety a disciplinary training in
outdoor pursuits to form manly
and honorable characters. They
carry no arms and are not taught
military practices beyond those
which tend to set up good ply
sical development. The chief
opposition to the enlistment OF
the youths of the country in this
organization comes from the labor
unions and the socialists. One OF
the strongest obligations the boys
take upon themselves when they
join the Scouts is the pledge to
obey their superior officers. Any
man who has ever served in the
army and undergone army disci-
pline knows how binding such an
obligation can become when it is
thoroughly drilled into one. I'm
der such discipline the man be-
comes a machine and moves only
upon orders from his superior
officer. It is upon this single
point that the labor unions and
socialists base their opposition to
the organization. They argue
that under the changing indus
trial conditions the world is now
rapidly undergoing the vested
rights of private capitalism must
soon give way to communal rights
in the coming economy; but be-
fore capitalism will consent tc
the change it will abandon the
rule of the ballot and substitute
the force of arms to maintain its
position, and that the Boy Scouts
will become the trained forces to
subdue the workers and hold
them in subjection. With the Of
ticers of the organization con-
trolled by the capitalistic inter
ests and the Scouts train
ed to obey them, those interests
would quickly throw a well-train'
| ed war machine into the field
against the unframed and undis.
ciplined forces that the opposition
could raise. This is all true tC
that extent, but allowances must
be made for the individual dis
position and leaning of the Boy
Scout at such a climax. So fa1
as we have observed. there is nc
condition in the pledge they take
to take up the cause Of any par
ticular interest, and unless they
should be hired and in the pay OF
capitalism there is no reason

tion of the country rapidly
sprung up everywhere in the
territory and when Missouri was
admitted into the Union these old
settlements, although still i'm
portant, had lost the ascendancy
they possessed in the beginning.
Gradually most of the old settle
ments were forgotten. New
routes of travel were established.
New names given the post Offices
and new counties established and
the new county seats attracted
many of the leading men away
from their farms. Up to the
war most of the early settlers
lived in ease and in comfort, as
they nearly all owned their neces-
sary servants. They hauled their
produce to the river and travelled
on the boats. But after the war
the farms gradually fell into de-
cay, and many noble places be-
came only shadows of what they
once were. The young moved
away, went to the towns. or the
mining camps. Thus one of the
most beautiful and attractive
farming districts of the State
was allowed to vegetate in OBJ
scurity until several years ago
Louis Honck conceived the idea
OF connecting all these old settle
ments with a railroad. He be-
gan the construction of this rail-
road and gradually extended it
until the road reached Ceffman
and now in the next four or five
months will reach Pennington
Thus all these ancient settle
ments will be linked together
again by an iron road and once
more be on a great highway. To
