VIRTUE MADE INTERESTING
The New Appeal to Childhood the Keynote of the World Scout
 Movement

When. as q child l was told to be good it usually meant doing some thing unpleasant. and when I asked why. l was told that l would go to heaven But heaven is long way
 off from the mind of a child, and
 even then as bribe not altogether
 moral incentive. Further, I was
 encouraged to strengthen my body by
 peculiarly oppressive form of gym
 nastics l am sure l asked Why"
 and the reply would always come because it will make you strong and
 healthy when you grow up." This
 incentive, like heaven, is too far away for the child mind.
 Again. in those grubby things which are at the gates of science,
 squalid and unattractive as gates us ually are: elementary arithmetic. geography, history taught as a ser ies of dates and not as a great and noble drama) and the rest, the child sees nothing of the application of
 these things to his life outside, to him they are merely tasks impos- ed by those wonderfully stupid peo- pie, the grown-ups.
 In contrast to all this. take the principle, the idea of scouting-a col ored adventurous, voluntary enter l price. To make it clear to children why they must keep the scout law, | which is in it's essence the sermon on l the Mount applied, they must under 1 stand that they have become mem 1 bers of a World Order in which pub- | lie conduct is an essential. They 1 must he told that they exercise thelr l bodies in all manly training, not for l health, but because as they have be | come protectors of the weak so theH l must be strong in protection. An' l to interest them in the gates o1 i science. you must take them into the 1 fields and show them the use of i things, the value of proportion, sums | decimals, the stars and topography | Strike the note of adventure. and you l will get every boy worth having i
 the world and every girl also. Make l virtue, education. unity, and the rest | dull and you are pulling against th'
 natural forces of childhoOd-and they | are the lords of the future.-Si

LEAGUE SAYS ELECTRICITY
 IS T00 HIGH Organization Sends a Com munication to the Corporation
 Commission ALSO SPEAKS
 OF GAS RATES Communication Deals With the Affairs of a To-
 cal Business
 Concern.
ALSO SPEAKS
 OF GAS RATES

The contract betwen the Pacific Gas and Electric company and the United States government and the rates charged by the gas and cleo eric company in it's dealings with the city and its residents. are brought to the attention of the corporation commission in a communication sent to that body today by John L. Irwin, president, and B w. Getsinger, sec retary, of the Municipal league. The officers refer to the league as an as sociation Of citizens. taxpayers, and consumers of gas and electricity.
 The statements and demands made by the league are. in brief. as fol- lows
 It is said the Pacific Gas and Electric company is an incorporated company whose business it is to sell gas and electricity, and in its capac- ity, is subject to the laws govern ing public service corporations It is then said the company is required to furnish these commodities at fair and reasonable rates
 The rates are then recited as fol- lows:
 Electricity is furnished the city at four, six, eight and ten cents the kilowatt hour and to private residences at ten cents. The gas rate is $1.80 the thousand.
 In connection with this recital it is alleged the company is buying electcity from the government at one and one-half cents the kiloWatt hour. It is also alleged that both the rate for gas and the rate for electricity are excessive
 Some time ago the corporation commission issued a letter requiring the company to appear before the commission and make statement regarding it's business, the rates charged, and other related matters. Just what form the inquiry will take eventually. and what may be the results are. of course. matters of speculation. It was believed some little time ago. following concessions made to the city bv the company, that that matter had been settled at least for the present: but of course it cannot be said what view the corporation commission may take of of it Under the regulations of the constitution the commission is given pactically unlimited power with re- spect to rates charged by public ser vice corporations; and a large part of the matter will hinge upon what the corporation commission regards as a
 reasonable" rate
 At all events the tone of the let ters sent out to the gas and electric company and to numerous corpora tions some time ago; and the nature of the railroad investigation which began last week show that all these inquiries will be of the mast sweep ing character. And the result of the probe will be watched with interest by every body concerned

Mrs. George CornWallls- West is the originator and the nov ing sO:lIt in the great eXCibIt1on which is for the purpose of adding to the Shakespeare memorial fund.
 The whole of the Earfs court eX- hibition that is under cover has been transformed into an CiiZabethan toWr, and the visitors upon entering leaves the twentieth century behind and walks straight into the sixteenth ce' tury In q street lined with houses exactly. like these with which the Bard of Avon was familiar the vlsl tor sees huadreds of people uresse1 to represent all classes of sixteenth century folk. The ancient shops that line the streets have been let to tradesmen, stocking all sorts of goods and they expect. to reap harvest from patrons of the exhibition. Ii was made part of inc contract that all shop keepers and their assistants wear historical costumes as ore scribed by the exhibition committee So there will be- no jarring note of modern commerce in the reproftacti'n of the old town. A theater. a mo :el of the old Globe, will give daily per- formances.

There were no other ch5 nges in either ba 'k. the present vice presidents of both, being T F. Pollock and N C. McDougaIL
 MT. Gage still retains his stock holdings in both banks and his mem bership on their boards of i;EcCto: ;.

 During his residence of ten years Tn Phoenix MT McClung has been as sociated with many important enter prises outside of his banking busi ness and has incidentally been iden- tified with all public movements for bettering business and civic condi tions in this city and valley, and for that matter in the entire state. Reti- cent in respect of self exploitation. he frowns even upon the necessary and laudable publicity that attends the importance of his sphere in the busi- ness community, but regardless of that fact it must on such occasions as this be openly confessed that he has made himself a man whose worth to the citizenship of the new state is not reckOned in dollars and cents, and tower of strength to the two banking houses oyer whose destiny he now pTesdes.

in the latter part of the day entered
 upon a long distance debate by re-
 torting to Taft's statements. Roose-
 welt said the president had asserted
 he was stirring up class hatred. This
 Roosevelt denied. In the same con-
 nection he said If Tafts policy of flabby indecision and helpless acquies-
 cence in wrong doing of a crooked
 boss and crooked financier is per-
 mitted to continue there will really
 grow up class hatred in this country.
 Mind you, I believe we can win this fight without Massachusetts" he said,
 "but I do not want Massachusetts to
 lag behind. 1 want it to be in the
 lead in this fight" With his address
 in Pittsfield tonight Roosevelt wound
 up the campaign in Massachusetts.
 He made twenty speeches, going from
 Boston through towns along the north
 shore to Lawrence and Lowell, then
 across the northern part of the state
 to the Berkshire hills. He encountered
 a snoWstorm in the hills of northern
 Massachusetts and a downpour of rain
 later in the afternoon, but was greeted
 by large crowds at khe principal
 points. In speaking here tonight the
 colonel said: MT. Taft, in a speech
 today announced l am trying to stir
 up class hatred and excite discontent
 ask to see if you can find anywhere
 in my Columbus speech any appeal
 to class hatred, except of the class of crooks, political and financial I have preached abhorrence of Lorimer, and all that for which Lorimer stands. of
 the kind of crooked politics and crooked finance which are responsible for the production of Lorimer. But as regards most of the bosses. I Op- pose, I do not preach hatred of them. ! I do not hate them; I merely wish them to retire to private life and quit misgOverning us. If they will stop governing us against our will, the way we don't want to be governed, I very gladly will stop saving anything about them whatever. Taft says 1 preach class hatred and excite discontent. Does Taft regard me as stirring up class hatred because l ask for a law in New York to prevent women from being worked excessive hours in fac tories? Does he regard me s stir .ring up class hatred because I stand for the working mans compensation act? Does he regard me as stirring up class hatred because I demand that the state and nation cooperate to make conditions of life and labor bet ter for wage workers, because I de- operate to help the flrmer?'

THE UNPOPULAR PRIMARY.

It may and very likely will surprise many citizens of Massachusetts.f when the returns shall have come m from the primaries. to find how few of the voters have actually gone to ,he poll
 ing booths.
 In spite of the heat shown in the campaign. in spite of the serious is sues at stake. it looks as if the pri-
 maries on both sides would he very slimly attended. and the probability
 now is that the stay at home vote"
 will be one of the. largest known in
 Massachusetts politics for a presiden-
 tial year. It may prove that he pri-
 maries in presidential year will
 bring out a smaller vote even than is
 usually recorded for an off year in
 Massachusetts politics
 One reason for this is that the leg islature forced this system on the
 voters without any desire of the vot-
 CTS for it. It is not the way in which the great body of American voters
 prefer to exercise their right to choose candidates. The system of popular choice"-so called by it's hvsteric sponsors-is not popular" The peo- pie do not want to vote that way. even by special law
 This is not peculiar to Massachu- sets. Mr Roosevelt carried the H. iinols caucuses, the other day, by the republicans of that state. About one quarter of the voting strength of the republicans dictated to the other three-quarters of the party. It is q peculiarity of the so-called ..uopnlar voting" as we have pointed out from the time the agitation for that folly arose in this section that it defeats the expression of the popular will That IS why the demagogues prefer ii. On the vote of the whole people. the demagogues win always be de- feated. On this misnamed ..p0pular' voting the demagogue has his chance because so many of the people will not VOte.-BOston Advertiser -o
