Photo by American Press Association.
The gallant young soldier in the pic
ture hopes some day to be big enough
to join the Boy Scouts of America. At
his home in Hoboken. n. j., he has
two brothers who are members OF that
famous organization. now known in al
most every civilized nation on the
globe He was among the visitors at
city hall. New York city, last Fourth of
July when the boy scouts acted as
guards and ushers at the safe and
sane" celebration conducted by Mayor
Mitchell and other city officials. While
there he had his picture taken by the
camera man. You see that he has SOL
dierly ideas. and his uniform is more
military even than that OF the real boy
scouts. He is only five, and therefore
he has a few years to wait before he
can qualify as tenderfoot- But he is
optimistic and bravely waits for that
glorious time

Times are hard and the sales are
not proceeding quite so rapidly as they
would under more favorable condi-
TONS" says Chairman J. w. Holland,
of Shelbyville, commenting on the
work thus far within our power to
raise at least $4,000 to see that Ken
lucky is as well represented as her
sister states at the great exposition

give any person or organization that
wishes the opportunity to sell Ken
lucky souvenirs for the exposition.

Hail To TW.gini0

Old Virginia the home of pres
idents and mother of Kentucky.
has done herself proud by giving
a great majority for prohibition
in the recent election held in that
state. She Joins the ranks of
the dry states and does SO by a
very decisive majority.
The question was fought with
undated vigor by both sides, and
intelligence and integrity won.
1t was to be expected that Vir-
ginia, the flower of the South,
containing some of the most in
tellectual people in the United
States, would be found on the
right side of this great moral
question.

MARY,S LITTLE HEN.

Mary had little hen
Upon her little farm,
Against the wolf before the door.
1t proved to be her charm,
Each day it laid little egg,
Which Mary sold in town.
And thus she bought her groceries
And now and then gown.
The years passed on and Mary paid
The little mortgage due,
And sent her girl TO boarding school,
Her boy to college, too.
She has nest egg in the bank,
And even keeps a cook,
And everything about her
Has thrifty well-kept look.
She says to those who daily toll
With needle, brush and penl
IF you would do as well as
Just keep little hen.

Seattle, Wash.-Several shots were
fred across the bow of the American
steamer Seward, Captain John John
son, by the Japanese cruiser Idzuma,
whose officers then boarded the mer-
chairman and closely examined her
papers. She was then allowed to pro-
coed. Owing to the rigid censorship
no news of the incident was permitted
to be sent out by the British Columbia
stations, but meager details of the af-
fair were received from officers of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Compals.

Hurry! The. Band Wagon
Passeth By

When the women start some
thing that is real good and it is
taken up and endorsed by the
people and pushed by them, the
politicians very quickly jump in
to the band wagon and get on
the front page with their political
advertising. This is true with re-
ference to the moonlight school
question that is being vigorously
pushed by the women of the state.
Some Congressman and some
United States Senators. seeing
the opportunity for extensive adj
vertising, have very generously
donated magnificent sums, rang
ing from SIS to $50 TO aid the
work and themselves.

WlLuOuI CuCuLS. M" lie 10 wealthy
"a few years ago. the, fact came
out that he was attorney for 100 cor
porations. In other words, Roy o.
West was fixing the public tax assess
ments or corporations who had him
on their payroll as their lawyer.
Fred Upham, one of the best
known heads of the local coal trust,
was on the board Of review more
than twelve years. When Upham
stepped out his shoes in the board of
review Office were filed by another
coal man, Fred Block, whose con-
nectiOns with the Busse coal inter-
ests are well known.
"Now, who shall we pick as our
candidate for the board Of review in
this campaign. Frank S. Ryan and
Isaac Powell are both politicians.
"Towner K. Webster is a business
man we'll known in the labor world.
Webster has served on arbitration
boards, picked as the umpire for his
fairness. Webster was a leader in get
ting workmen's compensation laws.
He was one of the first employers to
declare that money should be set
aside in evry factory for the repair
of broken workmen just the same as
for the repair of broken machines.
He is widely known for his speeches
and writings on wOrkmen's compen-
sation. Towner K. Webster is the
only man running for the board Of
review who gives us any hope of get
ting more tax dollars for a better
schol system"
Miss Haley went over the records
of candidates for the board of as
SCISSORS in this way:
adam Wolf and William H.
Weber: These two men arc now on
the board of assessors 16 years. Dur
ing that time they have never pub
lished lists of real estate owners and
assessments as required by law ex-

Records of all candidates have
been. carefully looked over. And these
three are the only ones officers of the
Teachers Federation feel sure will
give fair and square assessment
that will in the end get more tax dol
lars for the benef1t~Of school chill
dren, school buildings and school
teachers.
Margaret Haley, organizer of the
Teachers Federation, told the 800
women at Delano school. She said:
some great coal company has the in
side track in this city. This company
sells coal to owners of big loop sky
scrapers and when these owners of
skyscrapers come across and sign
coal contracts with this great con-
Germ, they do-nOt expect to be soaked
with high tax assessments when they
appear before the board of review"
Fred Upham, an officer of the Con-
sumers' Co., was formerly member
of the board of review.
Roy o. West, now a member of
the board of review, is a political ally
of Upham, and was close to Fred A.
Busse of the old Busse Coal Co.
Fred Block of the board of review
is an officer of the Consumers Co. at
a reputed salary of $4,000 a year.
Miss Haley explained that the
board of review has the last say on
tax assessments. 1t refuses to obey
the supreme court orders. It has the
power to fix how much or how little
shall be the taxes of any property
owner in Cook county. By letting
millions of dollars of downtown real
estate go free from taxes, this board
cripples the school system and all
other public works. She said:
"a coal company is the owner of
this piece Of machinery, the board Of
review. 1t is better machine in their
business than all their motor trucks.
