at a moments notice.
We are further told that the Boy Scout

Some skeptics may be doubtful of a

Some skeptics will even mumur that
the persons interested in this movement
smack greatly Of one T. R. and take the

number of their parents and guardians
have been inoculated with the virus, mill

But. we are not to be outdone by the

They Have An Eye on the
Boy Scouts This Important
Advice Has Reached Us.

There were certain old fashioned peo-
pie, some years ago, who saw in the Boy
Scout movement a tendency toward mill
tarism.
They were mainly Quakers and peace
loving citizens whose one idea was TO d.
vorce all thought Of civilization and prog
ress from the barbarous institution of
war.
These peaceful souls, who were some
q the most useful assets of the country,
Who titled the soil, made the homes and
conserved the resources of life, were
booted at as conjuring up wild dreams in
= peace loving, sane and stable nation.
They realized, what others did not, that
Che most prolific seeds for good and evil
were those implanted in the mind of
youth, and in order to continue TO be the
peace-loying people that we were. this
ideal must be most carefully nourished
and shielded from military suggestion.
They saw in the organization of these
LIDS much that was good, but they felt
that this same training, intended for
peaceful ends. could be easily swung to a
militaristic basis if occasion required and
the belligerent element, latent in every
<eountry, predominant.
We are on the eve of seeing their fear,

East and West
~ DR. FRANK CRANE
copyright 1915. BY Frank Crane)

When We look at nature our mind can
take one of two attitudes: We can either
try to use her or TO understand her: we
are either practical or contemplative.
The West is practical. the East con-
templative.
The East wonders at the lightning;
the West telephones and telepraphs with
H. 10 order groceries or arrange a bridge
party.
Your canary bird is a plaything and
pet. Ordinarily you consider it and de-
night IN 1t as such. But perhaps some
time you have, in vacant moment.
thought about it, specuIated as TO what
is going on in its little brain. reflected
upon the infinite skill displayed in its
construction, in its feathers, bones.
blood vessels, nerves, and all the dslicate
lntricacies Of its tiny body. constructed
with such consummate perfection. and
all automatic, all actuated by that
strange, never-to-be-forgotten thing we
call life. II so, you have. for a space,
been an Oriental.
The Aryan race migrated from central
Asia thru Persia to Greece. There the
mountains and rivers were small: ma
ture seemed confined enough for man TO
grasp her, so the ever active Aryan
mind began the structure of western civ
ilization, which has lowered thrice-ar-
usucally In Greece as organization in
Rome, and in invention in modern times.
All had 10 do with outward results.
with getting things done, with finding
new things and ways TO eat and drink,
finer houses and cities to live in, more
elaborate furniture TO clutter ones self
up with. The value of the western mans
life has always, in the common estima-
ton, consisted in "the abundance Of
things which he possesseth."
Our business has been TO get on"
We have used philosophy and religion
only as they contribute 20 that end. Sci
ence has been esteemed highly because
by 1t we can build bigger factories and
make more money.
The dollar mark is not only the stamp
upon America, but also upon all the
western world. Europe is as money mad
as we. The only modern wars are those
that have a commercial basis. We not
only live for money we die; for money,
die wholesale and retail.
Into this West came, singulary
enough, Christianity, an Oriental rehg-
ion. All religions are Oriental, for that
matter; the West never invented any
religion except some kind of quack faith
to cure the stomach ache or to insure
prosperity.
We have no real grasp of Christianity.
We never will have until West is East
and East is West, until the world gets
together You cannot save a piece Of
the world it must be all or none.
Without the West the East stagnates.
Without the East the West will perish
in a turmoil of miserable materialism.
AS Richard Hovey:
road runs east and a road runs west
From the table where we sing;
And the lure Of the one Ia rowing quest.
And the lure OF the other a lotus dream.
And West Is East n you follow the trail TO the

And the East and the West in the spring OF the
world shall blend
