There is one ruic IN the world and
il applies TO all professions that Is, that
you are expected to make good No

Tho only way to make good is to keep
faith That IL the reason like the idea
Of the Boy Scouts--it gives them some
notion OF their being responsible 10 so
ciety They are responsible TO the people
who live around them. TO help maintain
the standards of order and of fidelity,
which are the only things that hold abb
solu'ely together.
You are recruits in the ranks that we
all stand in--of those who try to serve
the country in some way that will tell
and that has nothing particularly to do
with our personal benefit A man who
devotes himself - the development Of
his own character will succeed in moth

DECISION COMMENDED.
western Railroad OmciaIs Hopeful
of Further Relief.

OFFICIALS of the large Western rail-
roads were gratlfed yesterday over the
decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission In the intermountain rate
case. II was recognized that the deci-
sion was not a complete grant of the
relief that the railroads sought, but the
extent of the compromise contained in
the decision was regarded by railroad
men as encouraging the belief that the
needs of the railroads as the result of
the new conditions brought about By tins
Panama Canal will receive careful at
tentlon on the part OF the commission.
while we felt that the commission
would have been justified In granting
absolute relief, especially with respect
to rates made within the zone Of actual
sea competition" said l.. J. Spence. d.

I'VE believe that the commissions rec
ignition OF the changed condition and
the Importance OF enabling the railroads
to forestall the entire surrender OF this
character OF traffic TO the sea routes Is
entitled to commendAtion."

JAPAN'S MENACE TO
OPEN DOOR DENIED
WaShington's Adviccs Are
That Her Demands DO Not
Affect Policy.
NO TERRITORY SOUGHT

WASHINGTON. Feb 11-Circum-
stantIal reports were published here to-
day regarding the demands Japan Is
said to be making on China in the
course of the negotiations proceeding
between the two Governments. No con-
frmation could be obtained in official
quarters Of these reports from Pekin.
II can he stated with authority, how
ever. that the Japanese Government
has pledged itself that nothing m the
negotiations now in progress will affect
the interests OF any third Power in
China II is also authoritatively stated
that the negotiations do not look 10 the
acquls ton OF any Chinese territory
by Japan.
1t is asserted that the discussions aro
the result OF Japan's endeavor to adjust
at this time many questions which have
been pending with China for some time
and others raised by the war and by
the taking Of Kiao-chau. While there
is no doubt that Japan is seeking GER
tain considerations at the hands OF
China. 1t is said that these will not be
in the nature Of closing to foreigners
any opportun ties now existing In China.
The understanding Is that the chief
| point in tho japanese demands is that
no portion OF China's coast or any
/ island off the coast shall be ceded or
/ leased to another Power. Such de-
/ maud on China by Japan has been eN-
pected since Japau's declaration of war
! on Germany to drive her out OF kiao-
| Chau
| 1t has been generally understood that
having eliminated what Japan declared
/ to he menace to the peace OF the
| Orient Japan would insist that China
pledge herself to make no further con
cess ons such as that of kiao-chau. II
il also understood that a demand viii
probably be made for the extension Of
br, ader privileges to Japan in regions
already partially under japanese In
luence,

RATE RELIEF GIVEN
TO WESTERN ROADS
Commerce Boards Decision
Forced by Panama Canal
Changing Conditions.
VICTORY ONLY PARTIAL

WAsHINGroN, Feb. 1.-THE Interstate
Commerce Commission handed down TO-
day an important decision affecting
chiefly the transcontinental railroads.
The decision was in the intermountain
case. II permits carriers operating all
the way from the Atlantic seaboard to
lntermountain points to charge more for
intermediate hauls than for hauls to the
Pacific coast and for points close to that
coast.
While the decision will add to the
revenues OF the railroads. its chief i'm
portance lies in the fact that through 1t
the commission has recognized for the
first time the effect OF the Panama Canal
upon the traffic Of the railroads Of the
United States. II is a move In the di-
rection of preventing present cross-coun-
try traffic conditions from being demon
allied as result of the opening Of the
canal.
The intermountain case has been pend
ing in one form or another for almost
ten years. More than two years age
the commission rendered decision under
the so-called long and short haul clause
| Of the commerce act prescribing a sys

Appeals.

wAsH1NGroN, Feb l1.--wearing a
fashioned umbrella which is his con-
slant companion Postmaster-G General
Burleson started for the Capitol to-
day
He had heard that Representative
Kitchin OF North Carolina, who will be
the new Democratic leader of the House.
was opposed to the Administration ship
bill. AS the man who is supposed to

Burleson thought he would take Mr.

Of running counter to the wishes OF
President Wilson and his advisers.
with this thought in mind the Post
master-General reached the Capitol.
Seating himself on big leather chair
In the lobby outside the House chamber
Mr. Burleson beckoned to a page. He
told the page to inform Mr. Kitchin that
the Pustmaster-General waited without
and would have speech with him.
The page returned with the tidings
that Mr.. Kitchin could not be found.

was that the Postmaster-Ge General came
to the conclusion that the emissary OF
the Administration had been spurned
likewise ignored.
Mr.. Burleson is a determined man and
he appealed to a high priced officer OF
the House to aid him. He explained the
circumstances and this official hurried
to Mr. Kttchin. urged him TO relent for
the good of the party and to hold con-
