THE REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY

that their party has replaced 1t.
The Republicans the mselves, viii e
admitting that the party is all
shot 70 pieces see in the r, suit
cf the recent election nothing TO
indicate that either of the deelara-
lions made above is true. On the
other hand, men prominent in the
councils of the party men who's
progressive inclina,ions is re os-
nized by the Progressiyos them
selves have alreaGy taken up the
work OF reorganization along Pro-
gressiye lines with she avowed pur-
pose of Wrestling control from the
standpat, reacticnary element and
debating the future policy OF the
party. Therein lies the oppo. tun-
i,y Of the Republican parry to
gain the confidence and support
OF its old followers
Commenting upon the future Of
the party, the Portland oregonian
says:
The Republican vote was split
into two approximately equal parts
one part went o Roosevelt and was
rein oroed by considerable num-
Der OF seeding Democrats. The
other part refused to join in the
Roosevelt bolt. but large pro-
portion OF il voted for Wi son in
order TO insure Rooseyelts d feat.
These Republicans who voted for
Wilson were probably more numer-
Gus than the Democrats who yot-
ed for Roosevelt. Had these Re
publicans stayed by their party, |
Roosevelt might have been show
to have a minority of the Rspublita |
popular vote. Here is no political
revolution, no landslide to the De-
mocrats, no dissolution Of the Re-
publican party. The Democrats won
simply by the division of their OPP
ponents.
THE Republican party is not
destroyed. What the election des-
troyed is the reactionary control
of that party The scattered rem
nant of the standpat element has
been driven from office and Taft
has been punished by defeat for CO.

definitely commit themselves to the
support and promotion of the conser-
walton policy of the State of New
York
Boys who thus enroll themselves as
New York State Scouts could be given
some inexpensive medal or badge of
office, making of each Scout a virtual
state official. This, it is believed, will
lead to the development of a spirit of
pride in the welfare of the state am
ong boys generally throughout New
York and will prove to be very val
liable investment for the state. 1t
might be advisable to classify these
New York State Scouts according to
their special interests; for instance,
in certain sections boys might be en-
rolled as New York Good Roads
Scouts; in other sections as New York
Game Warden Scouts, and so on.

themselves available in all emergen-
cies, fighting fires, and in furthering
better hygienic conditions. On Sep
tember 20, just prior to the state nom
ination convention, in which the gov
ernor was vitality interested, he de-
voted an entire evening for confer
ence with the leaders of the Boy
Scouts of America, who met at his
request at the st. Regis hotel in New
York city. Representing the Scout
organization were John Sherman
Hoyt, finance committee chairman,
Daniel Carter Beard, national Scout
commissioner, and James f. West,
Chief Scout executive.
AS a result of this conference the
Scout officers accepted the sugges-
tion of Governor Dix outlining the
form which this cooperation should
take.
First-It is proposed that the Boy
Scouts Of America furnish the state
with the names and addresses of ac-
tive Scout Masters in the vicinity of
forests where fires are likely to oc-
cur, with a view of having arrange
ments made whereby these Scout
Masters will be subject to the sum-
mons of the Fire Warden on duty
guarding against fire, and when sum-
moned they will respond with such of
their more experienced boys who
could render effective service in aid
ing to put out an incipient fire, or in
any other way render service.
Second-It Is proposed that the
Boy Scouts of America will cooper
ate with the state officials in secur-
ing the services of Scouts in various
parts of the state of New York for ac-
tive work in carrying out the plan
outlined by the governor, for the re-
parts of the state, and that consider
alton will be given to the governors
suggestion as to a basis of compensa-
tiion for services thus rendered, with
view of paying the travelling ex-
penses and the maintenance of the
boys while in camp engaged in tree
planting.
Third-It is proposed that plans be
developed whereby all the Scout Mas
ters of the state Of New York will be
furnished with information from time
to time, either by way of printed cir
culars or specially prepared literature
whereby the policies Of the state con-
commission and its offci-
ais interested in the protection Of anil
mails, birds and other game will be
promoted and enforced. This may lead
to an active propaganda in some di-
rections, under state officials, in sup
port of a campaign against the fly
injurious insects, tree blight
etc. 1t is believed that tangible plan
of practical cooperation may be
worked out in promoting the good
road movement and in securing pro-
lection Of the great many miles of ex-
cellent roads already available in the
state of New York. 1t Is also hoped
that a great many of our Scouts may

TO STOP RoBBER1Es.
Officials Of Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Have Detectives at Work.

In view of putting a stop to the
picking of pockets on the Chicago &

ploy of the company was in the city
yesterday looking over the situation
and gathering all information possible
on the subject.
With the exception of one case that
OF the Horney young man of Zion City
the police have been unable to locate
anything definite on the many at.
tempts, some Of them successful, at
picking pockets of patrons of the Chi
cago y Milwaukee electric cars.
From time to time there have been
many robberies in this city and in
North Chicago, as we'll as along the en-
tire line and the police have been I'M
able to accomplish a great deal, in
their efforts to get the guilty men.
1t is not known how much this c.

thought that by this time he has se-
cured considerable information that
will be OF value to him.
Every possible effort is being made
to cause the arrests Of the pickpockets.
