BY BOY SCOUTS

The Boy Scout movement i,
progressing very rapidly. The
boys seem to all take an interest in
the work. Last Saturday we went
on a hike up towards Twin lakes
We travelled about three miles in
forty minutes, at scouts nace
Each member was requested 70
oring two eggs, two potatoes. and
some salt, and two matches. Each
scout had to make his own fire
and prepare his meal. Some of
the boys had their eggs broken
before they reached camp, and SO
nao to get along with their
potatoes.
We enjoyed our first lesson in
camp craft very much Our scout
master made the trip very helpful

to us, by explaining the different
formations of the earth, and the
small streams of water that we

more boys could have been present.
Next Saturday we are going on
another hike, and all Boy Scouts

If this government has the right
to put out of business the great

to put the liquor monopoly out Of
business. We have destroyed great
trusts, industries which have carried
on business at the expense of other
Industries, aud for no other reason
than that they have ruined the
smaller industries of our land. Then
have we not the right, and is it not
our duty to destroy the great liquor

SOME SIGNS OF PEACE.

One Of the signs of peace is
that Germany declares a readi-
ness to entertain honorable and
Just terms Of peace; that Ger
many is and always has been
willing to enter peace union
that will in future prevent war,
and denies being the aggressor
in the present war.
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hol-
veg declares that mobilization Of
Russian armies was responsible
for the present war; that Germany
could but regard that movement
Of Russia as a declaration Of war.
It is stated that an English scho-
lar of note has practically ad-
mitted this fact; that he said !:
"Many people would think differ
emily about the end of the war if
they were better informed about
it's origin, especially the facts Of
Russian mobilization" Lord
Grey. British secretary, recently
said that if the statement and con-
illusions Of the chancellor were
correct, then Germany had right
to ask certain guarantees against
future attacks.
When people begin to talk about
entering into international peace
unions while at war with each
other the situation begins to show
the colors of the rainbow of peace;
begins to appear little hopeful
at least. The end is not yet, put
the promise of a cessation Of hos
tilities appears hopeful.
If a worldwide compact and
to- submit all interna-
tional difficulties to arbitration is
accomplished at the conclusion Of
this war then, Notwithstanding its
destructive horrors, it will not
have been wholly in vain, and
may yet under Gods direction
prove world blessing.-Ruston-
Leader.

CHALLENGE TO MASTER
CLASS.

The Humanitarian Cult is the
name Of new organization that
is creating considerable stir in the
East. 1t is said to have the en-
dorsement Of Henry Ford and
other mOneyed men who are sane
enough to realize that the present
social system is a long way from
being civilized. The Humanitar-
ian Cult has flung broadcast the
following challenge:
"We ought to realize that near
ly all of our social ills are due to
the lack of proper social pre-
paredness, and that we cannot
remedy them until we have taken
steps to lessen the strife between
capital and labor. The best way
to better the conditions Of the
masses is not bv trying to teach
or urlift the needy and ignorant,
but by creating an environment
that will make it possible for them
to uplift themselves. To do this
we must eradicate the root of the
evil-poverty.
We make this statement with
out any fear of contradiction. and
are ready to prove it in public de-
bate
"That almost 80 per cent Of al
coholic excesses is due to poverty.
"That almost so per cent of all
disease SC due to alcoholic exces-
ses and poverty.
"That the bitter strife between
capital and labor. class hatred,
greed, selfishness and all other
kindred evils are directly due to
povertv or man 8 fear Of it.
"Under present conditions the
needy. the diseased, who are with
out means Of support or oppor-
tunity to obtain employment, are
forced to anply to either public
or private charity societies.
We are waiting to hear wheth-
er any of the SNUG satisfied class
will accept the challenge and de-
bate the charges. We fear it will
be long wait.-Ex.
