BOY SCOUTS IN
FIRST RANK AS
LADS Of Merit

One of the most interesting and sig
nificant features of the report Of the
national headquarters of the Boy
Scouts of America for the past sum-
mer is the fact that 21,643 badges
were issued to boys and that 1141 OF
these were merit badges. It means,
of course, that boys are steadily pro-
crossing from tenderfoot rank to Sec
ond class and from second class to
first. And then they do not stop con-
tented, for the field before the first
class scout is such that he can go on
indefinitely winning proficiency med
ais, gaining information about condi-
lions, requiremets and prospects in
all branches.
Other items in the report, however,
are equally interesting, as, for In
stance, that 935 men were commits
stoned to act as scout masters, 2S6
as assistant scout masters and 109 as
scout commissioners. The headquar-
tefs' correspondence, which was 3d.
383 pieces of in-and-out ffrst-class
mail in the summer months Of 1912,
increased to 97,967 pieces in the same
period Of 1913.
In an article in the Outlook on the
Boy Scouts, Jacob Riis gives this in
cident: Il am a crossing Waterman
in Philadelphia, at Second street and
Girard avenue | have a signal on a
high post, and every evening l have
to put a lighted lamp up there and
take it down in the morning to refill
it. 1t is hard work and risky for me.
There is a little scout who passes
every morning at 6 o'clock, serving
milk for his uncle He takes my lamp
down for me- He told me it was his
duty; every scout was to do a kind
act every morning of his life. Three
cheers for the boy scouts! Chris

In particular this party declares for

the states the policy Of the short bal.

TOO MANY NEGRO CLUBS.

1t seems an easy matter to open a
club in st. Paul now-a-days-in spite
OF the reform administration. Some
clubs are specially privileged second
story saloons. There are saloons con-
Quoted by Negroes, who pay a high
license, which are closed at required
hours and they have no protection to
do legitimate business. Yet these
clubs are tolerated. They are too
numerous, and should be limited. The
Twin City Star supported Mayor kel-
lar because we believed him to be an
advocate for the suppression OF vice.
But it is the old old story that Negroes
are allowed, regardless Of party, to
operate segregated joints, where gamb-
ling is conducted, liquor Is sold and
any other immoral conditions exist.
This is what reform administrations
dispense to Negro citizens, condition
that Is abOminable. Desirable Negro
citizens ask for no immunity from the
law, and it is the undesirables OF any
community that seek and receive spe-
cial privileges to violate 1t. We do not
intend to say, how many or which, OF
these clubs shall remain? We have
always held that Negroes have right
to have clubs, and the police depart
ment should enforce their laws. But
when we have mushroom clubs spring
ing up-and general police orders for
Everybody to close down" especially
during grand jury sessions, 1t Is
evident that they are classed all alike
as lawless organizations, protected by
graft. There are few Negro clubs
having a Charter worthy OF a frame,
and when proper investigation is made
by the authorities, we are led to be-
lieve that many clubs, cabarets, etc.,
operated for the special accommoda-
ton and convenience of Negroes only,
will be a thing Of the past, and that
those permitted to remain, be so reg
ulated, that they will be credit to Its
patrons and not a disgrace to the
race and community.

TO SEGREGATE NEGRO MAIL
CLERKS.
Chisholm News Service.

Chisholm News Service.
Washington, d. C.-The colored
postal clerks of the South are much
stirred up over a petition that Is be-
ing circulated among the white rail-
way mail clerks, requesting Post Mas
ter General Burleson to put all the
Negro clerks on lines to themselves
and not allow any Negro mail clerk TO
be in the same car with q white
clerk. The petition was started by
Robert Prather, a white mail clerk
running out of little Rock, Ark. Prar
Their was flattered recently by having
had his name called to the attention
of the post office department because
he prevented q hold up on his line.
He figures that since he Is temporar-
lily popular that he will win fame
with this jim-crow proposition.
A few years ago the same scheme
was proposed and several white
clerks were dismissed on account OF
their activity in thus trying to cripple
the mail service.
The Negro mail clerks have fought
their way up in tie postal service, es-
pecially in the South, by superior
work, even against the rank prejudice
of most of the white clerks who hes
itate to, in most cases, do nothing
that Is against the colored clerks and
in many instances their efforts seem
to have been sanctioned by the chief
clerks who have the direct supervis.
sion of the mail lines. In last days
of Post Master General Hitchcock
administration laws went into effect
providing for annual promotions to all
clerks with satisfactory records and
those laws when fairly applied will
permit the Negro clerks on big lines
to attain large salaries. The envious
white clerks want the colored clergs
for these reasons put on small and
insignificant lines.
Assurances have been given by the
present administration that the civil
service regulations will be closely ad-
hered to and this Is taken to mean,
that this jim-crow proposal, like its
author, will amount to nothing.
