KNOCKING DOWN STRAW MEN.

We are pleased to note that an ed
itorial, appearing in the Herald a
week or two ago aroused the POST
master Editor Of the Crosby Crucible
and other postmaster, near-post-
master, hope-to-be postmaster, and
certain mollyeoddle editors, who think
the naked truth should be skirted, lest
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. should be Of
Tended to as near frenzy as this
class of gentle pencil pushers can get,
and they have proceeded to slap our
wrists and call us Naughty,
naughty" insisting that we were
guilty of waving the bloody shirt, !"
Striving to stir up prejudice" and
various other crimes and .misdemean-
ows, and mildly insisting that we were
so ancient that it is high time we were
Oslerized.
The facts are there was no "bloody-
shirtism" in the screed except when
the "ioaves and fishes" scribes injec-
ted it therein in a vain attempt to
conceal its manifest truths.
The prejudice charged, if any there
was, was created by the distorted
views of salary, or hope-to-be salary
drawers who are always ready to
flush before they are even pointed.
There was not line or a word OF
criticism of President Wilson or his
policies or any carping or complaint
of the action of the Democratic ad-
rainistration or of any Legislation pas
sed by the Democratic congress.
The said article set forth certain
indisputab'e facts: That fourteen
states lying South OF the Mason and
Dixon's line absolutely controlled
every branch of the National govern
ment and dictated its policies and
legislation, and that those states con-
tanned less than one third of the pop
uIation, one-seventh of the wealth and
only did one-twentietn of the business
OF the Republic. 1t offered no crit
icism on those policies or legislation
Whether they will be beneficial OF
detrimental to the Nation the future
can only determine.
That the Democratic party wa'
numerically weaker in 1912 than i
was in 1908; that their triumph wa
not due to Democratic strength bu
their victory was brought about b.
the inccnceivable stupidity of tn
Republicans who spent their energie
fighting themselves instead OF thei
common opponents.
No one of average conception, n
matter what his politics may be
denies any of these statements, the,
are manifestly apparent to everyon
possessing modicum of intelligence
But the tin soldiers of the admins
tration, whose place-appetite has cor
summed their grey matter, rushed int
frenzied politics. declared that W

STRIVING to create prejudice" "stal
a panic" and several other thing
In unison they shrieked that "
were proclaiming "old time theories
and that is true. The theories cor
tanned in the Sermon on the MouI

from their yeraeity.

Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Evans, Sr.
A number of the visitors came by
teams and automobiles.
The visitors were very much i'm
pressed by the camp as showing the
value of the Scout movement in de-
veloping boys into good self-reliant
citizens in a pleasant and health
full manner.
If the boys were asked to name
the person contributing most to
their enjoyment they would i'm
mediately answer, "Scoutmaster
Manns. Anxious parents may
rest assured that the boys are re-
ceiving the best of attention while
in his care. Above all he is striv-
ing to inculcate in them the true
Scout spirit which makes for every
quality worth while.
The training in patriotism is Of
particular interest and should
serve as an example to many older
folks. At sunset the boys fall in
line before the flagstaff and sing
the "Star Spangled Banner" and
saluate the flag as it is slowly low
cred. On how many occasions like
this do we see grown folks lolling
negligently around like so many
bumps on log, failing to show the
least respect and taking no pride
in the fact that they are Ameri-
cans! This is scarcely due to ig-
norance but more to plain neglect.
And this is only one Of the many
things a true Scout can serve as a
better example of. ~%.
