STRENUOUS HIKE
TAKEN BY SCOUTS
OF EMERY SCHOOL
Trip Leads Boys Over
Rough Course and Across
the Potomac.

The Boy Scouts of Emery School went
on hike last Saturday that stands as
a record for difficulty in the short
annals OF Boy Scouts in Washington.
Despite the fact that the trip was>con-
fined to the immediate neighborhood of
Washington. 1t was replete with ex-
element and minor dangers. The troop
ut this school, numbering seventy boys
is most enthusiastic.
This troop consists, on paper, of two
troops, but they are merged ordinarily.
1t is without scout faster at the
present time, Arnold Moore, it's original
scout master, having gone to Ohio Uni
versity. Assistant Scout Commissioner
Emory is in charge at present.
The trip Saturday, which led the boys
over rough course, down bluffs, and
across the Potomac, will be detailed in
q sketch which one of the members of
the company will write shortly.
Applications for enrolment in the
Boy Scouts are coming into head
quarters rapidly. Three or four more
scout masters could be employed, but
suitable material Is rare. A scout mas
ter must not only have the knack of
dealing with boys, but he also must
be able to devote considerable time to
the patrol.

the people because of their right to
decide, that marks the difference be-
tween the progressives and the reaction
aries.
Roosevelt the Man.
The admiration of California progress
sives for Senator La Toilette is undl-
minished, and they recognize his spen-
did services and great sacrifice for the
cause. In California, however, with
the cause ever the determining factor,
1t Is obvious that progressive policies
can best he accomplished at present
through the leadership of Theodore
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt is recognized
throughout the West as the greatest
teacher our country has had. He has
not only our respect and admiration,
but our affections, as well.
He 1t was, we believe, who aroused
the public conscience and, by his
courage and firmness for the right
made possible our victory and the re-
demption of our State government from
the Southern Pacific machine. To him
the West has ever looked as the ex-
ppnent of equal opportunity for all and
as the champion of popular rule.
To-day there is not a hamlet or city
in this country where, upon ballot
legitimately taken, the people would not
by to l prefer him to his principal
opponent. What travesty upon a
boosted government of the people that
with this overwhelming sentiment there
would be for one instant doubt Of the
result?
Party Is Wrecked.
-Four years ago Mr.. Roosevelt turn
ed over to his successor a Republican
party at high tide of success and en-
trenched in the confidence of all. To-
day, with the record of the past three
years, the Republican party is at its
ebb, with confidence in it sadly shaken.
With but rare exceptions 1t is only
where progressivism has been victorious
that State governments are yet Re-
publican; and to continue with the
leader whose three years have wrought
such disaster can mean only political
suicide.
Clear out. therefore. is the situation
shall the people rule and shall Roose-
welt. their choice, be nominated, or
shall Republicans COur certain defeat
| by the nomination of one whose trus-
| tees have wrecked the party.
I'VE of the West are in this national
struggle for Mr. Roosevelt and the pro-
gressive policies he represents

Get a IS cent bottle of Danderine

falling hair at once.

Thin. brittle, colorless, and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to the
hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair of
its lustre, its strength and its very life;
eventually producing a feverishness and
itching OF the scalp, which II not rem
edied causes the hair roots to shrink,
loosen and die-then the hair falls out
