Ormond Il. LOOMS, Field Secre-
tary of the Boy Scouts of America
in Boston, is conducting an active
campaign for the training OF scout
masters, and their assistants. Con-
corning his aim, he says. 1T is our
plan to teach scoutmasters and as
sistants much as if they were boys,
give them the same kind of work TO
do. instructing them as boys should
be instructed; having them meet
requirements as boys would be eX-
peeted to meet them, and. in fact,
dealing with thems throughout a
boys rather than matured men. We
have adopted this method because
we feel that by enjoying scouting
together in this way the men will
be able to appreciate something OF
the position of the boys with whom
they are dealing. The afternoon is
given up to instruction in such out
of-door activities as signalling, arch
cry, first aid. camp cooking, play
ing scout games. etc. We are to be
taught the proper use of setting-up
exercises in patrol and troop and to

FOLK SAYINGS

Joseph w. Folk of Missouri is
just now being prominently men
toned as a presidential candidate
on the democratic ticket. A MIS-
souri paper publishes these sentenc-
es from the writings and speeches
of Folk, and we are sure our read
ers will find something good in this
column:
Progressive democracy is con
structive, not destructive.
There is need for more people
who can be aggressively honest
individuals are of passing mo-
ment. Principles are immortal.
Political bosses are usually of
strong mentality and of feeble
morality.
No man, no nation, no party can
stand still-we must progress or
decay.
There is an ,embezzlement Of
power, as well as an embezzlement
of money.
No city, no state, no nation can
be injured by enforcement of the
peoples laws.
There is little danger from erro r
when public opinion is enlightened
and reason Is free.
The democratic party is not
against wealth, but the conditions
that create poverty.
The indifference of voters is the
greatest menace to republican
form of government.
If the people cannot be trusted to
govern themselves, who can be
trusted to govern them?
| advocate the initiative and
referendum as means of lessening
corruption in our legislatures.
1t is neither fair nor Just for
ninety millions of people to be taxed
in order to make very few rich.
There is no such thing as an
automatically good government; we
must have good men in public
office.
The time of the hermit nation
has passed. American ships should
carry American products into every
land.
As privilege increases, oppertuni-
ty must diminish, and as oppertuni-
ty dimlnlshes the rights of the
individual are destroyed.
The great question before the
country is. Shon .i-~-- L. enysrn-
puenU oy the people for all, or
government by privilege for class?
Criminal wealth, when assailed,
always tries to hide behind the
skirts of Legitimate business, and
claims that business is harmed
when attacked.
All the democratic party needs in
order to succeed at the next election
is to keep the faith of the people,
and be true to its own principles.
The demand for direct election of
United States senators shows the
growing desire of the people to
take the government into their own
hsnds.
Some think so little of their obll-
CATION to the general welfare that
they are lndi fferent to being robbed,
so long as they do not feel the
effect directly.
