All Russia is voting, Not only the
men. but the women, There isn't
any women's rights battle In Russia,
Everybody accepts the feminine right
to the ballot as perfectly natural,
In all the history OF the world,
perhaps. there has never been so
much voting by so many different
sorts of human beings on so many
different subjects, as there Is in Rus
sia this very minute,
Soldiers are voting; workmen are
voting; moulders, maohinists. wash
women. walters, scrubwomen, ser
wants, cab-drivers. street cleaners.
railroad men. peasants all are vot-
ing. They are voting for delegates
to meetings; they are voting on
hours and wages. the soldiers are
voting on how to fight and on what
orders shall or shall not be given to
them; they hold meetings in the
trenches. elect delegates and send
them back to Petrograd to represent
them in the national gathering of
soldiers.
And while this storm OF voting is
under way the new government. alert
and on its tip toes, waits to know the
popular will and translate ii into
law. The government has no army
behind il: and governments without
armies are powerless. The army is
behind the people-in fact. the army
is the people. So long as the new
government carries out the will OF
the people it will have the support
of the army. Wherefore the masters
of. public opinion. like Kerensky,
keep themselves in the way OF know
ing what the public will on any GER
tain matter may chance to be.
The first thing that strikes an AM
erican in Russia is the fact that this
new twentieth century form OF
wholesale war is going seriously to
interfere with the king business in
Europe. Despotic kings are safe
enough, II they have a professional
army behind them and il their civil
ian subjects are not allowed to pos
sess arms. But professional armies

the uniform doesn't always make

This Is one OF the newest discov-
cries in the history Of Russia.
There was one brilliant second
that stormy afternoon OF the revolu-
ton when this fact that the uniform
doesn't make the soldier dawned on
the Petrograd crowd that was cry

ton which the Russian people fear.
He swung his sword and the crowd
fell hack. not knowing his purpose.

crowd cheered with delight. The
cry went up-"The Cossacks are

This one incident 1t is believed by
some marked the turning of the tide

ward that the Cossack with the
sword was a farmer from the Cos
sack district. The crowd soon learn

THE RELIGIOUS ELEMENT

The Boy Scouts Of America main
tain that no boy can grow into the
best kind Of citizenship without recog-
nizing his obligation to God, according
to the constitution and bylaws recent
ly adopted by the incorporators. In the
first part of the boy scouts oath or
pledge the constitution states, the boy
promises, ION my honor will do my
best to do my duty to God and my
country, and to obey the scout law"
The recognition Of God as the ruling
and leading power in the universe, and
the grateful acknowledgment Of his
favors and blessings, is necessary to
the best type Of citizenship, and is q
wholesome thing in the education of
the growing boy, No matter what the
boy may be-Catholic or Protestant or
Jew-this fundamental need of good
citizenship should be kept before him.
The Boy Scouts Of America therefore
recognizes the religious element in the
training Of boy, but 1t is absolutely
nOn-sectarian in its attitude toward
that religious training. Its policy is
that the organization or institution
with which the boy scout Is connected
shall give definite attention to his re-
ligious life.

NOT TO DO WORK OF MEN.

The Boy Scout movement does not
put the idea of killing in the mind Of
Boy Scouts; it does not put instru-
ments of death into their hands.
Uncle Sam does not want boy SOL
diers. Military work is a mans work.
There is no reason why the nation
should ask it's boys to become soldiers.
They are needed for boys work.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Maj. Gen.
Leonard A. Wood. the secretary Of war,
the secretary of the navy, the chief Of
staff of the United States army-these
men, seriously concerned with the
proper preparations Of our boys for
their full duty as citizens, are officers
Of the Boy Scouts Of America.
The boys work in tie Boy Scouts
Of America does not include strictly
military drill. The Scout movement
has found q better way to train and
use boys in our country's service In
times like these. The eminent mill
tary men named above, the president
of the United States, governors, edu-
Gators, pastors, business and profess
sional men know, and have said, that
the Scout movement provides more
beneficial training for boys Of Scout
are than any military" course.

sion of Belgium, of Luxembourg,

But l saw the Kaiser twice; the
second time, when few days later
his yacht the "Hohenzollern," steam
ed bow to bow with my Newcastle
bound boat out through Bergen
ford towards the open Atlantic. 1t
was summer night, fair as ever
God sent to this world, and the
mountains looked down in serene ap-
proval as the royal yacht with her
convoy steamed homeward to Ger
many, the Kaiser's vacation being
over. At the ford mouth our courses
diverged, the Kaiser's to the south,
to Swinemunde, while ours lay
straight west. turned my glasses on
the "Hozenzollern" for last look
at royalty. On the bridge stood the
wellset-up figure Of the Kaiser, at
tired in blue coat and white trousers
looking the picture of ruler. Sud-
denly out of the North Atlantic
swept one Of those storms for which
that coast is noted. Darkness envel-
oped the Kaiser, the royal yacht and
lis convoy, the rain poured and the.
wind blew a gale for five minutes.
Then the sky shone blue again but
of the royal yacht, its princely pass
enger and the convoy not sign was
to be seen!
Prophetic may that be of the i'm
mediate future, when there shall be
no more Hohenzollernism on the
face of this earth!

Mr.. Property Owner, it appears
that you have got to come before the
City Council with long petition
signed by hundreds before the city
ordinance requiring water connec.
tons is enforced. Right now when
your property will be revenue pro.
ducing in proportion to the accom-
modations you can supply it is up to
you to do justice to yourself by u.s.
ing the pure city water and its sani-
tary sewerage connections. It will
prove a blessing if you should make
these improvements for your own
use as well as for the purpose Of
renting them to some of the new
corners. But to test this idea, just
listen carefully to the questions a
possible renter will ask when he
talks about renting your property.
