The Boy Scout movement Is big
business enterprise. It involves the
expenditure OF 100000 yearly for the
maintenance Of the National Head
quarters of Boy Scouts Of America. 1t
necessitates the printing Of hundreds
OF thousands of manuals, bulletins
and other information concerning the
movement. 1t requires big business
STAFF, at the head of which is man
trained In law, the science OF philan-
thropic work and skilled in up-to-date
business methods. It requires the
thoughtful attention of many dis
tinguished men who are devoting
their greater part Of their lives to
philanthropic work. It has absorbed
the sympathy Of thousands Of able
business and professional men
throughout the country who appreciate
Its great opportunities for the all
around development Of boys into ex-
cellent citizens.
When one considers the thousands
Of Boy Scout patrols and troops
throughout the country, one does not
think of the tremendous business
system behind the varied and scat
tered activities Of those boys. In
every city and almost every small
town throughout the country, there
are Boy Scouts. They are being
trained physically, mentally and
morally. They are having fun engag-
ing in rival fishing expeditions and
swimming contests, taking hikes in
the woods, stalking animals and birds
with cameras, learning to paddle a
canoe, to swim and to camp out. They
are doing those things first because II
is fun, but they have over them
Scoutmasters who see that they do
those things Systematically, that
they do not over-exert themselves
physically, but play in manner that
increases their physical strength
makes them alert in mind and fills
them with the desire to be honest, up
right men.

GUS lines of Boy Scout activities, win

educate them and prepare them fol

things that they want. They demand

] Petitions Are Being Prepared on

Commissioner Explalns.
HAVE TAKEN ACTION

Several hundred property owners
today are signing petitions which will
be filed with the city clerk protesting
against the three cent charge for work
Of rolling done by the steam roller
on streets that are being macadamed.
-Four separate petitions are being cir
culated and two OF them have already
been fillcd. They include the property
owners on South Fifteenth from John
son to Dies Mcines; North Thirteenth
from Main to Franklin; Palean from
Twelfth to Fifteenth, and on Orleans
street.
The following reasons are set out:
that taxpayers have helped pay for
said roller; that city has rolled all Of
the streets up to this time without
charge and property owners should
not have to pay for something that
nobody has paid for before.
Commissioner Thomas p Gray was
questioned concerning the matter to-
day. He says that in the present con-
tracts for street work the city agreed
to furnish the tar kettles, which
were purchased at the expense Of
$500, and also to roll the streets. II
this has not been done the bids would
have been higher and in the end the
property owners would have to pay
Just the same. AS it is tho work is
being done at price considerably
cheaper than ever before and he does
not understand why there should be
any complaint The additional charge
made is three cents per square yard,
which amounts to about 81 In ma
jority of instances.

ington, member Of the senate commit

the great Columbia river. added that
no people in the United States were
more deeply interested nor more keen
ly alive to the Importance of river
and harbor improvement from the
broadcast standpoint than those Of the
state of Washington.
II believe it is Of much Importance
to the country at large and the peo-
pie of the United States are now so
earnestly determined upon awaiting
themselves of every possible means
of reaching a live-and-let-live policy
with respect to transportation that all
political parties should speak out in
their next national conventions for
annual appropriations to be devoted
to nationwide system Of improve
ments. The republican party has al
ways been proverbially liberal to-
ward internal improvements, and
have no doubt it would cheerfully in
national convention endorse this idea
Certainly the democratic party
shouldn't fail to fall in line, for its
father and founder, Thomas Jefferson,
was the first of American statesmen
to be attracted by the far-reaching
Importance Of caring for waterway
means of transportation. One of the
most interesting things in the great
variety Of subjects which engaged the
mind of this versatile thinker was
his attention to the beneficience OF
navigation, and in all his history moth
ing is more striking than when with
pardonable pride, in his old age in
summing up what he had done that
was worth while he pointed to the
fact that while young man he got
up subscriptions to clear distractions

an appropriation from the Virgins

large and interesting gathering Of the
men who wore the blue, and Of men
who were more. or less prominently
identified with public affairs, when the
battle of Wilson creek was fought.
And the looker-on will marvel not SO
much at the fact that some Of the
men are bent and feeble, as at the
other fact, that there are so many
among the veterans who are still in
the prime richness OF life, and who
seem almost fit to again do the

word was passed around, these men,
who, according to strict instruction,
had ceased to be soldiers, without q

as long rs there was fighting that
needed to be done. And after the ex.
