Local Boy Scouts. parading
through the streets of this city this
afternoon, prior to starting on their

through the principal streets before
striking out for the Kennett Pike and
the farm of Josiah Marvel. president
of the Boy Scout local council, where
they will spend the afternoon as the

partly due to the rivalry between the

the troop having the largest average
attendance this afternoon. The cup,
a large silver affair given by Willard
F. Davis. will be retained by the troop

remain at the farm about two hours.

appeal to my fellow citizens
that they shall elect Mr.. Hughes
and repudlste Mr.. Wilson be-
cause only by so doing can they
save America from that faint Of
gross selflshness and cowardice
which we owe to Mr.. Wilson's
substitution Of adroit elocutlon
for straightforward action. The
permanent interests Of the Amer

comfort for the moment, no mat
ter how obtained, as MIR. Wilson
would teach US; but in resolute
championship Of the ideals Of
national and international DEM
oeratie duty, and In prepared
ness to make this championship
effective by our strength. Presi-
dent Wilson embodies in his per-
son that most dangerous doc
trine which teaches our people
that when fronted with really
formidable responsibilities we
can shirk trouble and labor and
risk, and avoid duty by the sim
pie process Of drugoing our
souls with the narcotic Of mean
inqless phrasennonsering. Mr..
Hughes, to the exact contrary,
embodles the ideal Of service
rendered through conscientious
effort in the face Of danger and
difficulty. Mr.. Wilson turns his
words into deeds only II this
can be achieved by adroit polit-
\ ical maneuVering, by bartering a
debauched civil service for con-
