WHAT THE BOY SCOUTS ARE DOING

Mosquito netting-Take along enough to make a head covering when sleep ing out or to close the door of your tent when sleeping under cover. IL is also handy for keeping flies away from the grub boxes or bags.
 Waterproof Match Safe-It is always annoying to have to stop and build a fire to dry out your matches after you have taken an involuntary bath in the lake. (This Is Joke.) An empty shotgun shell and a cork make a line match safe.
 Needles and Thread-Take several sizes; you'll surely need them, for camping is hard on clothes Better take along a few extra buttons. too, if you don't want to come back from camp with your pants held up with thorn-apple thorns.
 Canvas Gloyes-You7l need 'em for handling the frying pan when work ing over bed of redhot coais, and also for lifting the covers from boil ing pots and pans. Try them once them.
 woolen Socks-Get a pair of good. heavy ones-the kind your mothers sometimes knit are the best. They are the best cure known for cold feet on a chilly night. (When 1t is extra makes good bunk mate. It Is also comforting in cases of toothache, cramps and tummy ache.)
 Bed Tick-There are a whole lot of fancy sleeping bags on the market, pneumatic mattresses, hammocks, etc, but these are usually too expensive for boys to use, especially when they al- ready have spent considerable money for tents and other more necessary equipment. A bed tick serves the pur- pose very well; 1t is inexpensive and light to carry. Get two pieces of stout cloth, about three feet wide and six feet long. Sew them together on the two sides and one end. leaving the other end open After you get to camp. you can stun the flick with straw, dry grass. leaves or browse When moving from one camp site to another, the contents of the tick can be emptied out and 1t can be filled with new material at the new camp site.-Boys' Life.

THE QUESTION OF MUNITIONS.

Despite the stand which has been taken by this government in regard to the sale Of munitions of war in foreign trade and to belligerent na- tions, there continues to be a steady agitation against 1t. Much can be attributed to a lack of a thorough understanding or to biased stand relative to the participants in the war. Neither position can be attributed to the government in adopting the course which 1t did. It is sound interpre- tation of neutrality and a policy which 1t should be expected this country or any other similarly placed would adopt
 Some agitators," says the Spring field Republican ''have put stress upon the iniquity of carrying on such a trade for profit, but it is precisely the commercial character of the tram saction which keeps it neutral; to make gift of weapons to either side would be a distinctly partisan act. Some have argued that the making of arms should be a government mon opoly; that would suit Germany's book, but how about nations whose industries do not run to iron? The fact is that no scheme has been pro- posed which favors militarism so lit- tie as the free right to purchase mu- nitions of war when they are needed, and until a way is found to end war this is a sufficient Justification for the trade"
 To follow any other course than for nations to purchase from others when in need of war munitions Is to stimu- late the cause of militarism. Other- wise those countries which had se- cretly prepared could crush those who had had confidence in peace and trea- ties. It also gives proper protection to those countries which are not SUD- piled with the material and means for providing such defense.

 Henry GIfIlpitter puffed a hard puff. It did taste good. Then he took out his flask of tobacco cure, removed the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Too Much Law.

"Citizen" has had something to say in the past about what he dems to be an excess of legislation Reflective leg islation), and he is not alone in recog- nizing an evil that is steadily increas- ing in this country. and one that must be checked if there is to be that re- spect for law which makes law effec- tive.
 The New York World recently de- voted an article to this subject in are well worth pondering. It began by presenting figures brought to light by ex-Senator Elihu Root, who presided over the New York state constitutional convention. who finds that in five years prior to 1914 there were passed by con- gress and the legislatures of the dif- ferent states 62,000 new laws, and dur ing the same period 45,000 decisions were made by courts of last resort.
 Such figures are almost beyond the comprehension of the ordinary man. They show that the legislative mills are grinding at rate that loads down the statute books as trucks are loaded with freight, and that the result Is a mass of law of which most know little and care less. Tn every city and state laws are trampled upon in Ignorance and indifference until finally there comes prosecution, more often the re- suit of spite than respect for law, and the public wakes up to the fact that there is law of which 1t knew prac- tically nothing.
 This is not a good condition, and 1t is directly due to surplus of legisla- ton. People in most of the states have given up trying to keep track of the work of their legislatures, and the law making mills grind out their huge grists at large expense to the taxpay- CTS, and in many cases to the detri- ment rather than the benefit of the community. All of which leads the World to the conclusion that i've are getting away from the inherited order wherein law is the slow ontgrowth oi popular customs and reverting to ths Roman conception of law as something to be imposed on the people by ar agency overhead.
 Owing to new developments and con- ditions. new legislation is frequently rendered necessary, but there is no dis. putting the fact that legislation at thi: time is seriously overdone. Create, care should be exercised in the SC. lection of our law-1nakers. Less law with greater respect for 1t and better enforcement of it. would be far better than the great accumulation of statute. that results from the mad passion fol legislation.

Here are suggestions for some arti- cles which you will never regret hav- ing taken into camp. Rope-Take plenty of it; 1t is easy to carry and will pay for Itself in a dozen ways. It Is always coming ir handy in pitching tents and it makes dandy line on which to hang blank cts and extra clothing to air out and dry. It is also useful in draggtne bundles of dry limbs to the cooking fire Made into a lasso 1t Is fine foi pulling from dead trees limbs which are too far from the ground to bt reached handy.
 Wire-FIne for making pot-hooks and making small repairs about camp Nails-Take several sizes. They art indispensable in fixing up camp tables chairs, etc, and will save much in- convenience and annoyance. Pocket fiashlight-This is just about the handiest thing in camp.

MORE sAFETY AND sANITY.

In comparison with the manner in which some other cities conducted their Fourth of July celebrations Nor wich has reason to be pleased with the recognition that was given to the safe and sane movement. Minor ac- .cidents resulted from the same sort of carelessness which in previous years resulted in death, the loss of an eye or an injury which marked the individual for life but there was evidence Of the abandonment of much of the recklessness and needless folly of the past. It was characteristic of the conditions throughout the coun- try.
 Even though the death list as the result of the holiday may reach a score or more with those injured run ming well up into the hundreds it Is an appreciable improvement over any previous year and especially so when it Is shown by the records that there were 19.133 killed or injured in the seven previous observances of Inde- pendence day.
 The change is g. gratifying one. It shows that the appeal has fallen upon fertile ground and that attention is being directed to proper but harm AOoS O01dtAoA OA l110 d1ys 1AAI L46 time will come when there will be no fatalities or serious injuries can hardly be expected but the force of good example is having its effects and with better regulations looking to such an end the return to the years when deaths totalled over 200 and the serious injuries ran up to five thous- and and over can be prevented. The day's observance need not experience any curtailment of patriotism but 1t can stand all the reform that is be- ing urged in its behalf and still per- init fitting observance of the day.

rhE END oE HOLT.

. Revelations have comesfast and fur 4dus since the explosion of the bomb in the reception room of the senate Building in Washington and the shoot Ang of J. P. Morgan. Gradually Holt was beingbproved 6 flend of the worst character awith the charge not only of sdamagings government property and zmalzing a. serious attack upon theslife of the well known. flnancier but with the stamp of wife, murderer sand the confession that he placed internal machines aboard steamships:for the causing of several ocean disasters placed againstl him.
 Thus far 1t has not been shown positively that Holt. or Muenter, did mot work alone: evens though suspicion runs tc the contrary. His acts are those of madman, who while able to control himself at times and as his record at Cornell and other institu- tiens reveals show much intellectual bril1iancy yet when properly aroused he stopped shorttat no crime.
 Though there Is nothing to com mend in suicide, sthe act of Holt in taking his life removes a dangerous man The4countrye is fortunate to be rid of such a mana and the only re- grettable feature in connection with his self destruction is that none too much is known, about the man. those who maybe back. of him or other i'm portant facts. connected with his crimes which 2 the authorities would like to know. By his act Holt has cheated. the law but he saved great amount of expense and trouble and puts ana end to thetdanger which such D person threatens as long as he lives. It may mean somewhat of a handicap to the investigations, in connection with his career but it will by no means stop them.
