Seven years ago today. General
Sir Baden-Powell organized the Boy
scouts Of England. Since the hero Of
Mafeking has extended his organise
ton around the world, It being rnodi-
NED to suit every country. 1t was
brought to America in 1910 and it at
once seized the imagination of the
American boy under the name Of tho
BOY Scouts Of America. Love OF
scouting was aroused in General b.
0en.Po~sn through reading the nov
els OF Fenimors Cooper and Major
Aarriatt and it was through his gift
as scout that with only 700 mon, he
held Mafeking against II 600 Beers for
over seven months till the British re.
lief arrived. During this siege he
made scouting expeditions outside OF
the city almost every night and Or
ganized the first band of boy scouts
in the British army. which was OF
great assistance to him in his hold on
hIafeking. This convinced him that
the whole empire was in need Of such
an organization but his ideas did not
take definite form till he had studied
such writer's on outdoor life as
Thompson-Seton with his organization
Of "Woodcraft Indian Brotherhood"
which then numbered 100000 American
boys. Then it was that the purely
military conception of the Scout
that Baden-Powell had in mind gave
way to the broader and finer ideal Of
training boys through scoutcraft to
become all around knights Of duty
and kings of emergency in every
channel of life.

Only One Way?

1.-The merchants and farmers of this
country must have ships to carry their
goods and just at the present moment
there Is no other way Of getting them
than through the instrumentality that is
suggested in the shipping bill; and hear
it said in Washington on all hands that
the Republicans in the United States
Senate mean to talk enough to make the
passage of that bill impossible
Il challenge them to show their right
to stand in the way OF the release of
American products to the rest of the
world.-President Wilson.
Perhaps those Republicans in the
United States Senate object to ex-
pending IS or 80 millions of the
American peoples money for the
product of other peoples labor. to
compete with the labor and capital of
America, and then. when the war is
ended and rates go down. throw all
that Is left to show for the expendi-
ture upon the junk heap. with the
bad taste of government ownership
in the mouth as a reminder. 1t is
one of those new ideas" that give
even a little less promise than that
much-advertised reduction in the
high cost Of living.

wnvestieate" Calamity Howis.

It seems that the second letter OF
the Schuylkll Valley manufacturers to
the President, or the publicity which
was given it, has brought returns.
Federal officials will investigate
Secretary Of Commerce Redfield will
head the inquiry. He has sent out
letter to the Manufacturers Associa-
ton of Montgomery county, at Nor
ristown, Pa. regarding complaints Of
depression, in part as follows:
Never had America less effective
foreign competition than to-day. How
ever. it is not my purpose to discuss
economics, but to tender assistance.
That the exact situation You describe
may be made more clear than it was
possible for you to do in your letter, I
have directed the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce to send one
Of its best men TO call upon you. He
will seek, as I know you desire him
. to do, to learn all the facts both with
in and without your establishments
that bear upon the condition that you
state is troubling you. 1t will be his
desire, as it is mine, only to be helpful.
Whatever information is given him
will be considered confidential in so
far that names and individual business
ses will not be disclosed and every
personal and commercial confidence
will be respected"
Why the need of secrecy? These
businesses have openly complained Of
depression, loss of orders, decreased
returns They have given the cause
as tariff interference with established
conditions and turning Of their bust
ness to foreign fields and the wages of
their workmen to foreign labor. Why
not let the people have the detail and
not the Interpretation of politically
biased officials who Investigate"
If there is to be an inquiry, let it be
public and leave no room for the claim
that it was only an attempt to bull
doze a calamity bowler" Let us know
why this great manufacturing field
is depressed.

Questions for Gov. Curtis.
.ditor Kennebec Journal:

Editor kenneDeC journal:
l notice in this mornings journal
where Gov. Curtis in reference to
his enforcement policy in an inter-
view says: People will know what
l have to say when the time comes
that it is necessary for me to make
a statement"
Now Mr.. Editor, 1t seems to me,
that it is not necessary for us to wait
until he speaks. Apparently there is
but one thing that he can say because
there are but two sides to this Ques-
ton, right side and wrong side,
and if he is opposed to prohibition
as understand he has said he is, then
there remains only one answer that
he can consc:entiously make to the
following questions:
Is it right to build churches, to save
men, and at the same time vote to Ii
cense saloons to destroy them? 1t it
right to build schoolhouses to teach
where they may learn vice? Is it right
to license a man to sell that which
makes a man drunk, and then punish
the man for being drunk? 1t it right to
license a man to make town paupers,
and then tax sober, industrious peo-
pie to support them? Is it right to
teach boys to be truthful and honest,
then license places where they may
be taught to gamble? Is it right to
teach your boys to restrain their pas
sions, and then license the sale of
that which will set their passions on
fire of hell? Do we preach justice and
charity, and then vote for the sale Of
that which robs mothers and children
Of their daily bread? Is the saloon a
help or a hindrance to education, NOR
atty and Christianity? Do we teach
the outreach for higher place, the
striving for success, the ambition for
clean, true, pure manhood and wom-
anhood, and then vote to license the
sale CT that which always defiles, al
ways degrades. always lowers the
ideals and purposes Of life?
Now these are all such plain, simple
questions that a child need not err
in deciding which is right. But if Gov.
Curtis has already declared himself
to be opposed to prohibition there re-
mains but one consistent thing for
him to do and that is to favor a law
that licenses crime.
