announced today in a reply
made to the invitation he re-
ceived last night from Sena-

asking him to come to Chi

The colonel declared in his an.

would "place this nation where it
belongs by making it true to itself
and therefore true to all man.

Coliseum, June Sat 1:31 o. m. the
republican national convention re-
cessed until p. m. to await the report
of the resolutions committee which
was still working on the platform.
The convention was in session about
two hours and did nothing more than
perfect its permanent organization and
listen to some speeches.
A plank calling for nationwide COM
pulsory military training was defeated
by the republican resolutions commit
tee after much discussion, 10 to %.
Two Tickets Seem Certainty.
AS political leaders gathered for
the second days session Of the repub-
lican and progressive national con-
ventions it became more and more ap-
parent that there would be two tickets
in the field.
Victor Murdoch, chairman Of the
progressive national committee, sum-
med up the whole situation when he
said today:
We'll, we left the door open, and
the republicans don't seem to be COM
ing in"
Republican leaders also discounted
the success of the peace talk, saying
that action had been delayed for so
long that a majority of the republican
delegates already have decided to pro-
coed without regard for any third
party, and nominate Justice Hughes,
to whom the most support has been
gathered.

still believe he could save the day II

Chicago, June 8.-The sub-commit-
tee Of the republican committee on
resolutions has adopted a plank re-
speeding relations with Mexico, Of
fered by Senator Fall of New Mexico,
which is a strong attack on the admin
isratons policy. Rejection of a plank
offered by Senator BOrah probably will

Other planks touching on labor,
AmeriCanism, national defense and
other questions have been adopted in

BOY SCOUT WORK
RECOGNIZED BY
j. S. CONGRESS

| Almost daily the executive office of
! the national council Is called UPON to
| act upon some big question OF policy
affecting the movement as Q whole.
The office has 10 be constantly pre-
pared for any emergency 80 as to act
quickly for the good OF the thousands
or boys and thousands OF scOutmasters
and other men interested in the
scouting program.
This was clearly illustrated in the
developments incident to the passage
OF the new army bill. This bill had
been before the committee of the
house and the senate for a long time
and had been debated pro and con and
had received publicity throughout the
whole country as perhaps no other
piece OF legislation before this session.
1t was not until the bill had actually
passed the senate and the mouse that
the attention of the national office
was invited by Mr.. II. H. Grogan OF
Washington, d. c., to the fact that
section 1925 of the bill might seriously
affect the rights of the Boy Scouts
Of America to continue TO wear their
present uniform.
Prompt Action Taken.
At first the matter was not taken
seriously, but after copy of the bill
was secured and it was found that
the language used was capable of
construction prohibiting the Boy
Scouts of America uniform, prompt
action was taken. The chief scout
executive Immediately sent a telegram
to each of the members of the house
and senate conference committee as
follows:
Provision OF section 1875 pending
army dill prohibiting uniform any
part of which might be considered
similar to a distinctive part of the
regular army uniform is capable of
construction prohibiting Boy Scouts
of America uniform. This would ne
cessitate over 100000 Scouts and Off
Gals buying new uniforms at great
expense. 1t is not believed to be the
wishes of the war department or those
responsible to require such drastic ac-
ton. Could not phraseology be in
corporated giving war department
some latitude in approving uniform
considered similar to regular army |
uniform or. provision specifically |
making exception in favor of Boy |
Scouts of America? .- ...

BOY SCOUTS OF HAWAII IN ACTION
LEO DE ROO, WINNER OF LIFE,
STAR AND EAGLE SCOUT HONOR
Splendid Record Made BY
Honolulu Boy; Quick Work
Taxes His Ahead

I About two years ago Charles AkanG
| of Troop V, The Queens Own, met
one OF the members OF the Y. II. G. A..
who was very much interested in the
Boy Scouts of America. At the time
II happened, Charles Akana had a
Scout handbook and the contents were
the matter OF joining the Boy Scouts
1 CT this area, he made up his mind to
become a member Of Troop v. This
| boy, who did not know anything
| about scouting two years ago, is Leo
de Roo. the first boy Of Hawaii TO
become a Life Star, and an Eagle
Scout OF the Boy Scouts of America,
| Honolulu Area. -.s-s.:t e... ...
He joined Troop v in February,
1914. and as he was ambitious TO get
ahead fast he passed hts tenderfoot
test within few days. he attended
all the troop activities, except en-
campments. About the only time he
was presented with the Scouts while
in camp was at KaReohe, where he
and several others carried home the
bacon in several stunts. >
This did not make much difference
TO Leo de Roo, for he got out in his
back yard and learned how to cook
"kabobs" and hunters stew He
cooked his potatoes in great style,
only they were a little burnt. After
passing his cooking test and the 9TH
er requirements for second class
scout he was sworn in and cheered
for by the other members of Troop v.
1t did not take him long to pass his
test for q first class scout, as he
completed this on October 81, 1914.
After passing this test he was consid-
cred one of the highest scouts in the
troop, and he began making applica-
tons for merit badges, which he has
been passing for the last two years.
When be became first class scout
he was made the leader OF the "Dodo''
Patrol. After he became leader Of
this patrol the sleepy" scouts woke
up and now some Of them are first
class in standing.
During the last two months Leo de
Roo has qualified for several merit
badges, which makes him the Eagle
of Hawaii nei. The badges which he
has won are as follows:
Public and personal health, garden
ing. business, cycling. firemanship,
scholarship, aviation, bird study,
camping, carpentry, civics, cooking,
first aid, safety first, pathfindings ply
steal development athletics, pioneer
ing, music and Workmanship.
After studying for all of these badg-
es Leo de Roo has the honor of being
the first Eagle Scout of Hawaii nei,
and also for the way in which he has
carried out the Scout law,toath and
habit.
The scoutmasters OF this area, as
well as the scout commissioner, are
looking forward to the day when Leo
de Roo will become scoutmaster OF
some strong troop of the Honolulu !
area.

Discussing the bill, the Waycross
Journal-Herald very truly says:
II the Georgia legislature wants to
see hot time sure enough in Geor-
gia just let it make the Neil bill a
law The Hoke Smith-Joe Brown
campaign will fade into insignifcance
as compared with the fire and thun-
der that will burst forth upon the pas
sage Of speech an ill-advised piece of
legislation. II would seem to us that
a man with a reasonable amount of
intelligence, and a knowledge Of Geor-
gia politics and Georgia people would
know that any law that would take
the control of the white voters would
be a most dangerous law. And not
only this, but Representative Neil,
and other members OF the legislature,
should know that the county unit plan
has never been used IN Georgia or any
Other state except by political crowds
TO win certain election. The PEG
pie of Georgia do not believe in the
county unit plan. No one ever favors
the county unit but the politician
during election time, when he thinks
it would benefit him. Every loyal
Democrat must admit that one mans
vote should count for the same as
any other mans vote regardless of
whether that other man lives in Ech-
oils or Fulton county. 1t looks as
If the men who are up in Atlanta sup.
posed to represent the people at home
would get awake. and take an active
hand in what is going on. Every man
who votes for either the Neil or the
Swift bill should draw his per diem,
buy a railroad ticket and come home,
because he will have done just as
much harm to his state as could be
expected of one representative during
one session OF the legislature"

The Senate Should Follow.

There are times in the history of
Georgia legislation when the honora-
bic senate should follow in the foot
steps of its more numerous brother,
the house Now is one of those times.
The house of representatives has fin
ally, after years and years of delay,
passed a biz, which il it becomes a
law, will give woman the right to
practice law in the state of Georgia.
Woman should have had this right
10 earn her living in her own W y
without the necessity of pGsa.aS 4
law but the constitution happens 70
be SO worded that such was rot tho
case. Now the lower branch q. he
legislature has at last taken the first
step towards correcting the fault OF
the constitution and all real lovers OF
liberty and justice are expecting the
senate to quickly do likewise
1t has been a long time coming
but the time seems to be at hand
when woman will be given a right
that should never have been denied
her in the first place. Previous legis
latures have considered the matter
and defeated the proposed Legislation
some members lighting against it as
though their very existence were al
| stake, Georgia lawyers have resov
cd and reresolved about it and us
ually have decided that such action
would be getting too far from anci

Georgia is one Of the three states
in the union which has refused to give
her women this sacred right to choose
hes own profession, There is yet
time for Georgia te save herself from

with the rest of Georgia that the sen
