w in the newspapers the first
ship is passing through the
Panama canal. The liner Pennsyl-
vania has progressed through the big
ditch from the Pacific side to Girls
tobal, within a stones throw of the
Atlantic end. In a few days, with
cargo for New York, the vessel will
steam out into the Atlantic to COM
plete the first short voyage from San
Francisco to the eastern metropolis
Later the building of the canal will
be properly celebrated. Just now we
should rejoice in the fact that the
great task undertaken by America
after failure by the French has been
completed, that the theories of our
engineers have been worked out in
splendid fashion by the efficient or
ganization at work upon the isthmus.
1t seems pity that such an energetic,
capable working force should be dis
banded after the years spent in per-
fecting its complex machinery. 1t is
too bad that it cannot be transferred TO
sora other of the great works the
government must some day under
take.

THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT

TT is interesting to note that the Bow
Scout movement, instead of diving
l. the death of fad" as it was
predicted would happen, is steadily
growing and has become part and
parcel of everyday life. The Boy Scout
is an institution. According to the
annual report, just issued, the move
ment has spread like wildfire in Amer
lea, and there are few cities that do
not have their Boy Scout bands. The
Boy Scout movement makes American
boys better Americans. 1t takes them
out of doors and teaches them how to
do things they never would learn any,
where else.
While the movement is of great ben
eHt TO lads In the country and small
towns, in the cities it is of inestimable
value. The aim of the leaders of the
Boy Scouts of America is to develop
men of the type of the great men of
history.
AS the Scout the boy willingly
adopts as real and vital the universally
accepted principles of life as set forth
in the Scout oath and law. This ef-
fectively influences the boys nature
and character so the better to prepare
him for that work which the church
can best do.
A Scout promises that upon his
honor he will do his duty to God, his
country and obey the Scout law; that
he will help other people at all times
and that he will keep himself physi-
cally strong, mentally awake and NOR
ally straight
The Scout law, covering the twelve
fundamental principles requires n
Scout first of all to be trust WORTHY
That means that he must not tell q,
lie, cheat or deceive, but keep every
trust sacred. A Scout Is loyal to all
to whom loyalty is due, including his
Scout leader, his home, his parents
and his country. Furthermore, a Scout
Is helpful, prepared at all times to
save life, help injured persons and do
at least one good turn daily. A Scout
is friendly TO ala brother to every
other Scout.
A Scout is courteous especially to
women. children and old people, and
he must not take pay for being cour-
teous. A Scout is kind to animals and
does not kill or hurt any living crea-
ture needlessly A Scout is obedient
Scout Is cheerful, even when facing
hardship and drudgery, A Scout is
thrifty. He works faithfully, wastes

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY IL
POSITION OF THE RAILROADS.

T HERE is much criticism of the
railroads of the country in their
i refusal to go ahead with plans
for the future pending the de-
cision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission as to whether or not the
per cent. increase in freight rates
for which they ask will be granted.
The railroads arc very much in the
position of the man of limited means
who has applied for an increase in
salary. He needs a new suit of clothes
and some furnishings for his home,
but until he learns from his employer
whether or not he is going to get the
larger pay for which he hopes he is in
no position to make any expenditures.
Imagine yourself in the place of a
railroad manager. Traffic is on the
decrease. The tariff is having its effect
on industries that do not need now the
cars they demanded so insistently a
year ago. Month after month reports
show a falling off of receipts. Wages
are higher now than ever before. The
prices of all manner of supplies have
grown by leaps and bounds. Your
company has asked for permission to
raise freight rates per cent. Your
whole future course depends on
whether or not this permission is to
be granted.
Put yourself in the position of that
railroad manager and then ask your
self whether or not you would not be
very cautious as to your expenditures.
You would if you valued your job and
the prosperity of your road.

opportunities. A Scout is brave and
does what he knows is right. in spite
of jeers and threats. A Scout is clean
in body and thought, stands for clean
speech, clean sport, clean habits, and
travels with clean crowd. Finally. a
Scout is reverent toward God. He is
faithful in his religious duties and re-
spects the convictions of others in mat
ters of custom and religion.
Finally. the Scout has banished to

1t is entirely fitting that the school
children of Harrisburg should have an
important part in the ceremonies incl
dent to the transfer of the battle flags
of the State from their present location
in the State Museum to the rotunda of

ism are not lost upon the rising genera
ton, and the tendency of recent years
to get away from the oldtime patriotic

very properly decided to close
L the schools on June Is, when
the 393 battlef1ags of the Com
monwealth will be transferred from
their long resting place in the State
Library and Museum Building to their
new Capitol.
This will be Flag Day in a new sense
of the word. The old battle standards,
tattered and torn, weather-beaten and
blood stained, are the dearest heritage
of the State. They typify the patriot
ism of the sons of Pennsylvania who
stood in the forefront of battle when
the integrity of the nation was al
stake. Every stain, every mark upon
them Is an honorable scar. Many OF
them are mere remnants. The devastat-
ing effects of summer sun and winter
SHOWS, hard marching and the scream
ing showers of shot and shell through
which thoy passed are plainly evident,
and none may look upon them without
being the better for the thoughts they
arouse.
The rotunda of the Capitol--through
which thousands upon thousands of
people pass every year--is the place
for the old flags, and it is right that
the school children of the city should
be taught the new lesson of devotion
to the flag that will be inculcated when

hands that held them shall carry them
