He referred TO the different men
who, from lowly homes and different
ranks OF life had attained the Presi-
dency. thus opening the door of oppor-
tunity to every boy who was honest
and ambitious. and that there was
nothing more inspiring to them than
the list of splendid Eclf made men
who had attained the Office of Prcsi-

cations for success.
Everything the General stated, lis

Industry study and good character
arc the only passports, and the poor
boy has an equal chance with the boy
from the home Of wealth"
He spoke of the splendid oppor-
tunity afforded the students at West
Point and Annapolis and advised boys
going to the latter Academy because
the opportunities for seeing the world
are greater: and the American Naval
officer is superior to all others.
General Wilson also emphasized the
good being done by the Boy Scouts,
which movement originated in Eng
land He spoke of his pleasure in
Witnessing the recent drill given by
the Boy Scouts of Old Swedos at
Bishopstoad. and commended the act
of bravery done by Barrett Connor
who rescued n small boy from drown

complimented the High School boys
for their interest in the Boy Scouts,
and spoke OF the importance Of the
rule to work when one is working

NOT TO MAKE
LEGAL ATTACK
ON BALLOT
MIR. EaStburn Says Bull
idOOSerS Lack FUNDS to
Take Question Into
Court
DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE
DEMOCRATS DIDN'T HELP

Horace Ga Eastburn said this af-
ternoon that no action tending to-
wards legal. proceedings TO prevent the
Republican and National Progressive
identical tickets appearing on the
city election ballot is to be taken by
the Bull Moose Progressiycs. He
gave as a reason for this that IL costs
about 500 to start such legal steps
and the party has no finances. In fact,
the campaign last fall cost the Bull
Moose party 50 much that its adyer-
tising bills remain unpaid and no
funds are in sight to carry on the
legal battle. he said.
The Bull Molsers are disappointed
because the Democrats have not join
ed hands with them and furnished
funds to contest the right of the Re
publican and National Progressive
tickets to stay on the oficial ballot.

When Solomon, iing OF Israel, rendered
his immortal decision regarding the dis
position of the living and dead child, he
showed a keen knowledge of human ma
ture. But so far as judicial aeumen is
concerned, he had a cinch for being an
code of procedure, rules of practice. and
was neither bound by moth eaten prece-
dents or appeals to a supreme court. This
being the case, he had things his own way
and had simply to apply that wisdom that
has immortalized his name in settling the
case quoted above and let 1t go at that.

a cumbersome code of procedure intri-
decisions, all of which VIII be looked upon
as collosai jokes by the next generation,
for the time is coming when practical
business methods will be applied to the
administration of law and justice, and
reason and common sense will supercede
the ancient, antique and hoary precedents
established by the judges of the days OF
the Tudors. Even though our present day
judges have inherited or acquired a wis
