make for right living and character
development in the youth of America.
It does not seek to supersede the home,
church, Or school, but to- supplement
these institutions largely in the leisure
time of the boy; and to impart by
means of its own programs and exer.
cises the virtues of chivalry, honor,
and good citizenship. The character
building work of the movement is pre-
sented to boys in what is meant to be
an attractive wrapping It is based
largely on the method Of learning by
doing, in order that boys may be taught
to be resourceful and self-reliant in all
situations in which they may be placed.
The movement is non-sectarian and
non-political. It's program offers to
the boy a well-rounded mental, physi-
cal, and moral experience, largely out
of-doors, and calculated to develop a
love of country, God, and neighbor.
For its success the movement depends
upon the voluntary leadership of men
of high ideals, who serve as scout mas
tiers and scout commissioners The
educational aspect of the work is
emphasized by the fact that of the
1907 men who held commissions as
scout masters on December 81 last,
about sixty-fve per cent are college
men and over eighty per cent have
either a high school or college edu-
cation; 1866 give their occupation as
clergymen, and 700 as public school
teachers; others are professional men,
journalists, students, or engaged in
mechanical or mercantile pursuits In
practically every one of the $50 char
tered councils the public schools are
definitely represented through the
service Of the school superintendent on
the executive board, and in many
cases the school superintendent serves
as president of the council.'

ASK PROMINENT MEMS AID
Special Workers from the National Or
ganization Are Sent to Kenosha to
Take Up Work of Reorganization
And Many Boys Ready to Join.

Concerted effort is being made to
provide for the reorganization of the
Boy Scout movement in Kenosha with
a view of forming a central council
made up Of leading business men of
the city to have charge of the organi-
cations in the city and with a view of
putting Kenosha on the Boy Scout
map. For years the scout shave had a
semblance of an organization in Keno
sha, but such troops as have been
organized are without leadership and
little or nothing is being done
in promoting the work.
Kenosha is one of the few of the
larger cities of Wisconsin in which the
Boy Scout movement is not being
featured. J. P. Freeman of New York,
national field scout commissioner, has
been in Kenosha during the past few
days and has taken up the matter of
re- organization with Mrs. Mary D.
Bradford, superintendent of the public
schools, and with David Fogwen, sup
ervisor Of recreation in the city. Both
have pledged their support to the
movement and they have given the as
surrance that every possible aid will
be given to the movement to organize
school boys of the city into scout pa
trolls. James E. West of New York,
chief scout executive of the Boy
Scouts of America, has taken a per-
sonal interest in the proposed organi-
cation Of the work in Kenosha and
he has sent out letters to many Of the
most prominent men of the city urg-
ing that they take charge of the work
here. He asserts that the movement
is one which appeals to the real men
of the community Many of these
men have assured the chief scout
executive that the movement will en-
list their interest. An effort is being
made to organize new Boy Scout
council in the city and it has been
suggested that Judge G e. Randall be
chairman of this council and that the
list of members include Mayor Charles
Fl. Pfenpig, Alderman Conrad Shearer,
IL. G. simmons, George II. Allen and
G. G. Allen. An effort vii! be made
to have these men serve as members
Of the council. Already preliminary
work has been done for the organiza-
ton of the boys and an effor will be
made to build up a new scout move
ment about what remains of former or
carnations among the boys of the city.
In many OF the cities of the country
the movement for preparedness has
given great impetus to the Boy
Scout movement. In speaking of the
plans for the organization, Chief Scout
Commissioner West says:
1.-THE Boy Scout movement aims to
reinforce all of the agencies which

PLAN INDOOR CARNIVAL.
Eight Attractions Coming to Kenosha
for Big Spring Festival

IOr Big spring EeSGlVdI.
The Interstate Exposition Company
of Pittsburg, Pa, an organization
whose purpose is to inaugurate indoor
festivals, fairs and the like, are
formulating plans with local frater-
nal organization with an object to
staging an indoor carnival in the Coli
scum during the week commencing
Monday, March 18th. The Interstate
company will bring to Kenosha some
eight attractions Of clean and in
teresting character and will comprise
only high class amusement catering to
ladies, gentlemen and children. Three
local fraternal organizations are con
sidering the proposition and within
the next day or so, contracts will be
signed and the whole proposition will
be put before the public. Coming as
it does, just one month after the Home
Exposition, during the institute week
and ending on st. Patrick S day, it is
well to suppose thst tbe adventure win
receive the hearty support of the
amusement seekers Of Kenosha and
vicinity. 4 special effort VIII be made
to interest tha out-of-town visitors
and a wide advertising campaign will
be carried on through the local and
weekly papers which will reach the
farmers and herald the event as one
of the interesting spots to be visited
during that week in Kenosha.

TO URGE STRONG SUPPORT
Twelve Petitions Taken Out on Monday
Public New Candidates Make
Appearance in Many Wards.

Socialists in the city are showing
the usual anti-election activity and on
Monday representative of the Soci-
alist party secured twelve petitions
from the city clerk with the under
standing that they are to be returned
naming twelve men with Socialistic
tendencies for office in the various
wards of the city.
1t is declared that there will be can
didates for alderman in at least six
Of the nine wards of the city and it is
probable that there will be as many
candidates for the office of school
commissioner The Socialists have
been active in Kenosha during the
past year and have carried on a quite
campaign in favor of their principles
and it is declared that they expect to
make better showing at the coming
primary than they have made in Keno
sha in several years and that they are
confident that several of their candi-
dates will land places on the ticket.
The list of candidates has not been
made public as yet nor is it stated
that they are being named by ref
erendum vote among the members of
the party in Kenosha.
The eighth and ninth wards are
counted on as strong fields for the
candidates of the party. Of course
there will be no party designation on
the primary election ballot, but the
Socialists will give loyal support to
the man named by their. party. The
interest in the Socialists in the work
Of the Common Council has been evil
denced by the regular attendance of
many of the members of the party on
the regular meetings of the council
during the past two years and many
of them are very we'll informed on
what is going on in the city.
There is not any grand rush for petit
tions in the Office of the city clerk
but number of more men are coming
into the field every day AS yet sew
eral of the present aldermen and
school commissioners have not taken
out petitions, but they have notified
their friends that their names would
be on the ticket on primary day
On Monday, Henry G. Anderson, at
present a member of the county board,
took out petitions as candidate for
alderman in the third ward. He has
been a member of the. county board for
two years and is widely known in the
ward Otto Quardokus has taken out
petitions as candidate for school
commissioner in the ninth ward.

City Engineer Has
Undressing Vacation"
Spends Only Two Weeks Off in Four
Years, in Chicago Hospital
After Minor Operation.

City Engineer Ben Brennan is va
cationing For the first time in four
years he has given up making esti-
mates of sewer and street paving and
directing the building of a new water
plant in order to "enjoy" a little time
to himself. In sunlit room at the
Augustana Hospital in Chicago, the
engineer is recovering from the effects
of minor operation. This is his idea
of vacation after grinding away at
one thing after another for four
years. Telephone messages from the
hospital declare that the city engineer
is sufficiently improved in health to be
anxious to get out of the hospital and
that he is already planning for the
spring work in the city in Kenosha.
The report from the hospital is that
Engineer Brennan will be able to come
back to Kenosha possibly in week.
Tt is certain that if he wants some ex-
tension of his vacation that there will
be no opposition on the part of the
members Of the council
