Lieutenant General Sir Robert
Baden-PoweIl, head of the Boy
Scouts, Is doing the movement
great deal of good by touring this
country and telling large audiences
the principles that are being taught the
boys.
Ever since the scout movement
started and was enthusiastically TAX
en- up by the boys, pamphlets have
been written, speeches spouted and
even sermons preached by those who
declared that this is simply a new
way of creating standing army and
that our boys are simply being
taught TO murder by the promoters
of the organization.
am sorry to say that, along with
a good many socialists and some min
listers, a number of labor unions have
held this opinion and have done all
they could to crush the Boy Scouts.
But listen to what Sir Robert said
to an audience the other day:
War is nothing more than legal
lied murder.
Among civilized nations warfare
should no longer be possible.
1T is a terrible thing to see wo-
men and children suffer the priva'
tons Of a siege and be subjected te
shell fire the same as men. 1t is &
great argument against war.
MANY think the soldier wants
var. Ask the men who have seer
the most and they will be the mos
strongly opposed to it.
'Savages may fight out their quar-
rels with weapons, but civilized ma
tions should know better"
The English war hero added {
strong plea for universal peace and
declared that when the labor inter
ests in the United States fully under
stood the aim of the Boy Scouts or
Ganization, the unions objection
will melt away Just as they did il
England.
Nothing yet has done so mucl
good for the boys as this Boy Scouts
organization. 1t is teaching the boy
the meaning of honor. 1t is making
them resourceful, self-helpful an,
able to help others. 1t is makin
them understand that selfishnes
should not rule any individual life
that we all owe duties to our fellow
end especially to those weaker tina
ourselves.
1t puts a premium on true manli
ness and teaches the lads to respeC
and uphold womanhood.
1t has made bad boys good, KEEP
good boys from being bad and give
ali the boys something to do to kee
cut of mischief
1t is giving boys a discipline whic
every boy needs and which most c
our boys nowadays get neither in tn
home nor the school.

regulates now. They tell us that local

that reason we ought not to have a
local option law. Well we have a
law forbidding these gentlemen from
selling to boys, habitual drunkards or

when the saloons are open when this
law is not violated According to
