THE KAISER IN COURT.

The democracy of America is em phasized by a case in Missouri in 1856 in which Frederick William " of Prussia appeared as plaintiff. This suit is recalled in Law Notes, pub lcation of the legal profession, which says:
 Tt may not be generally known that some years ago 1S56) a prede- cessor to the reigning All Highest Frederick Wilim W, became a suitor in the courts of Missouri seeking to recover from the estate of a deceased postmaster sum with which he ab- seconded to America (King of Prus- sia vs. ,Kuepper's Adm, P Mo. 55D. The royal plaintiff thus modestly de scribed his status: The plaintiff states that he is absolute monarch of the Kingdom of Prussia, and as king thereof is the sole government of that country; that he is unrestrained by any constitution or law, and that his will, expressed in due form, is the only law of that country, and is the only legal power known to exist as law All of which is commended to the notice of those whose 'conscien- ces' revolt at the effort to prevent that type of government from gaining world ascendency."
 "'rhis quotation from Law Notes states the case most succinctly," says the Memphis Commercial Appeal, ad ding:
 "Splendid Germans fought against the absolutism of Prussian kings. "The story of the rise of democracy in Prussia, just before the middle of the last century, is most interesting.
 "Glorious men were in tho revolu- tion.
 But long years of absolutism had so deadened the minds of the Prussian people that the individual efforts of Schurz, Engel and others accomplish cd little.
 "The revolution was put down With an iron hand. Those who struggled for constitutional government were hunted out of the kingdom as if they were assassins. Many of them ! came to America.
 Tt was determined to extirpate the people of political heresy.
 "The Hohenzollerns put their will into unrestraincd execution. with the result that many of the Germans not able to stand up under added re- strictions, got out of the kingdom of Prussia and followed the leaders to America.
 | "Some of these Germans settled in Texas, around San Antonio. Others came to New Orleans, and still oth- CTS went to Wisconsin.
 They were heroic souls; they stood for the best that was democratic ill this country.
 eff they were living they would re joice in this war that the United l States is fighting. They would sec in it hope for the liberation of all their people from the rule of men and from system that have brought misery and suffering in their train for 1 tho last 800 years

BOY SCOUTS OPEN
PAPER CAMPAIGN
will Be Waged to Raise $4,000
Fund for Local Expenses
of Organization.

A paper conservation campaign was
inaugurated last night at q meeting
Of the Boy Scout Masters Club OF the
District, held at the Burlington apart
ments. Practically every one of the
seventy-three Scout masters Of the
city was present and took part in the
discussion of the campaign, which is
to be waged to raise the annual bud
get of $4,000 for the local expenses of
the Boy Scouts of America.
In previous years 1t has been the
practice OF the local Organization to
solicit funds for the budget among
the citizens of Washington. It was
thought, however, that 1t would be q
comparatively easy task to find $4,000
worth of old paper tHis year, since the
price for paper is so much higher
than usual.
Awards for Largest Amounts.
At the meeting last night the mat
ter of competition with the loc.I
schools and churches engaged in pa
per collection was brought up, but il
was made clear that there would be
no infringement upon the rights of
the students. In fact, the Boy Scout
masters have received such a price
for their paper that they are prepared
to pay to the schools and churches a
higher price than that now being OBJ
tanned.
1t is the plan OF the scoutmasters
to have every one of the LOO Boy
Scouts of The District raise at least
l.oo0 pounds of newspapers, or their
equivalent in magazines, wrapping
paper and other loose paper. Each
troop is expected to have at least
10000 pounds of paper by the LIST Of
May. AT that time awards for the
largest. number of pounds will be
made. To the individual getting the
largest number Of pounds will be
given a prize Of s25, while the next
five will receive $40 each, and the
next fifty ;4.0o each.
Diseuss IanuguEatIeA Plans.
To the troop bringing in the Iarg-
est amount of paper will be given an
award Of S25. and to the 1--WE next s1e
No award will be made to any indi-
vidual who has collected less than
LOCO pounds, nor to any troop which
has collected less than 10000 pounds
James /. Lee, scoutmaster for
Troop So, presented the proposition
to the meeting last night. and an
swered the arguments against the
plan. William L. Brown. president of
the Scoutmasters' Club. OF Washing
ton. and A. c. Moses, president of
the local council. spoke In favor of
the plan, favoring II on the ground
that IL would eliminate all soliciting
for funds in the District.
Plans also were discussed for the
work OF the scouts on Inauguration
Day. The boys will do auxiliary po-
lice duty as first-aid attendants, as
Information carriers. and as ushers
for out-of-town guests
