While the boy scout movement
is nothing in the nature Of a mil
itary organization, still it teaches
the young the necessity Of disci.
pline, and in a great measure
tends to make them better sol
diers should the necessity of a
military training ever be neces-
sary, and it is safe to say that in
case of war the boy scout would
be on the job and would give a
favorable accountof himself. This
is one of the first steps to pre-,
paredness and after hat the mil.
itary training could follow natur.
ally und easily, and the boy scout
would be far in advance OF the
man who had never been trained
to hike. Every community should
have a boy scout organization, and
those who have seen the useful.
ness of the scout at such places
as the Confederate reunions will
be in favor of giving the boy
scoutan opportunity.

TROUBLE BREWING IN
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

There is trouble brewing In the In
dustrial commission. Chairman Null
len and Commissioner Wallace had
some hot words yesterday evening,
and It all came about a claim of Ern-
est e. Brown of Tonopah before the
commission for injuries sustained
while in the employ OF a concern
which comes under the Industrial in.
surance act. Mullin refused to pay
the claim as the employer was behind
in his premiums. Commissioner Wal
lace took the opposite view and was
supported by Commissioner Lennon.
At the meeting Mullin was oyerruled
and the claim, amounting to over
$1400 was ordered paid.
The attorney general had already
given an opinion that the claim was
valid, and Commissioner Wallace
states that other legal opinions had
been given to the same effect, but that
Mullin refused to abide by any OF
them. The only other course open,
therefore. was to vote down his rul-
ings and have the claim paid.
In conversation with an Appeal
representative this afternoon Commits
siorer Wallace stated that he proposed
to go 10 the governor with tho whole
matter and inform him that he did not
intend to discuss the affairs Of the
commission in barrooms a. Alnllln Nm
sisted on doing, and that Il long as
Mr. Mullin was at the head OF the
commission II Yves not possible to car
ry out the provisions Of the act so as
TO award Justice to aIlc--Appeai.

discussed by President Wilson today
with Representative Doremus Of Michi-
gan, chairman Of the Democratic con-
gressional committee. Norman Hap
good, an organizer or the Wilson non
partisan league and Senator TagEart
Of Indiana. Between now and convea-
ton time the president In expected TO
devote much attention to politics.
Selection of permanent convention
chairman was discussed. Speaker
Champ Clark was the first choice Of
the president, but Il now seems that
Mr.. Clark may not go TO 81. Louis.
Senator James OF Kentucky, and Sena-
tor Kern OF Indiana are among those
suggested for the place in case the
speaker declines.
While friends Of vice-President
Marshall believe there is no doubt that
he win be renominated, they are not
urging the president to take stand
on the question because there are 9TH
er'candidates. notably Governor Major
OF Missouri.
The plan OF the convention nanag-
ers is to have Alabama give way to
New Jersey when the roll is called for
the nomination of presidential candt
dates SO that John w. wescott. who
has been selected by President Wilson
to nominate. him, may immediately
make his speech. A motion to close
nominations then would be In order.
