ROY SCOUTS ARE NOT
 MILITARY ORGANIZATION

The following statement is issued by the Boy Scouts: Doubtless there are many in our city who are asking ques- tions as to what does the Boy Scouts of America stand for and How can 1t help my boy?' First, it is not mili- tary organization. It has for it's ob- ject service to humanity and study to find out the best methods to serve men intellectually. If you are anxious to know what they do, be sure and be on hand on April 1, as they are going to hold a great exhibition of scout work in the state armory and it will cost you nothing. The boys will give demonstrations of all scout activities such as first aid to the injured, sig mailing, knot tying, woodcraft work, and a real exhibition of camp life.
 Do you ever realize that the heal thiest life a boy can live is out-of- doors and to develop this feature among the boys of our city the scout officials have provided a scout camp which is to be held during August Here the boys are given g. chance to get right next to nature. Before boy can be come a life and star scout,

Prosperity; Let Us Keep 1t.

When the European war developed
in the midsummer of 1914 as con-
fagration that could not be stopped
it was at once apparent that an i'm
mediate effect would be to stimulate
all forms of industrialism in this
country. This actually happened. The
wheat yield Of the United States for
1914 was a record-breaker, but the
price of the bread cereal and of all
other farm products rose. enormous
ly. There, was call upon a large
and varied, schedule for materials to
equip the great armies. European in
dustrialism was completely democrat
lied; export trade in the United
States decreased immensely; the
American manufacturer before the
end of the first year of the war found
that he. had his home market, the
most important market in the whole
world, practically to himself, says Bal
timore American No protective tar

competition of Europe as the war
The war has done exactly what it was
expected to do; it has started a won
derful prosperity wave in this coun-
try. It has created a market abroad
without interference with the home
market.

Tariff Helps Germany.

Recently the New York Evening Tel
egram -chronicled the fact that as a
result of the war America had gained
a new industry, quartz glass;" hith-
erto imported from Germany, although
made from sand found only in Ne
braska, being now manufactured in
New York city.
Taking UP this matter, the Arneri-
can Economist wants to know whether
the new industry can survive. It does
not cost much to transport quartz
sand from Nebraska to Germany. After
the sand reaches Germany it. costs
about one-third as much to convert it
into quartz glass as it costs in the
United States. The trainers of the
Underwood tariff evidently intended
that Germany should keep on making
quartz glass for this. country. If not,
why should they have reduced the
tariff from IS to 80 per cent? The
war has acted thus far as q prohibit
tive tariff. When the war ends the
rate will go back to 80 per cent. 1t re-
mains to be seen how this new Amer
Jean industry will get along under a
free trade tariff unmitigated by war
conditions.
Framing our tariff to protect lot
of infant industries for other nations
is something that needs looking after.

OPPOSED TO BONDS
Democratic Party Displays its
Usual Stupidity.
Leaders Differ Over. Matter Which
Seems to. Admit. of No Dispute
United States Tariff a Help
to Foreign Commerce.

The Democratic obsession against
the issue of bonds in times of peace
continues. It. is strikingly illustrated
in the attitude Of Secretary McAdoo
and Democratic Floor Leader Kitchin
of North Carolina. They are opposed
on the question Of defense, but as to
the great wickedness of employing this
well-known financial device they seem
perfectly agreed
Mr.. Kitchin finds that the treasury
condition is not good and that there is
not enough money in sight to defray
the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment, to say nothing of paying for bet
ter national defense. The idea that
this is an extraordinary situation and
that measure not resOrted to under
ordinary circumstances is justified
does not seem to occur to him. Or if
the idea occurs it is rejected with
classic Democratic horror as an in
vention Of the powers of darkness be-
cause it involves bond issue.
On the other hand, we have Secre-
tary McAdoo strongly in favor Of
large OUTLAWS for preparedness but in
sisting on meeting them out of the cur
rent income. He is just as confident
that all the funds needed for ordinary
and extraordinary purposes will be
realized by his taxation scheme as he
was that the income tax receipts
would be vastly greater than they
were. The fact that a bond issue has
a satisfactory certainty does not even
begin to outweigh, in Mr. McAdoo's
mind, the iniquity Of a small increase
of our relatively small national debt.
Back of this obsession is the old
idea of the unpopularity of q bond is
sue among the people. 1t is not i'm
probable, however, that the public
opinion in that regard has changed
much faster than the Democratic opin-
ion. 1t is quite possible that an in
crease in the extraordinary taxation
and the extension of the income tax
may wake displeasure even among
those who are supposed to regard a
bond issue as the certain sign of the
nations collapse.-New York World

well as on many others. and is nov
favoring the creation of a special com.
mission for a scientific study Of the
tariff rates. Scientific" however, with
him means theoretical, and theoretical
means with a strong leaning toward
free trade.
