ADVERSELY MADE SWEET
BY DISTANCE AND TIME

Commenting on an item from last
weeks Review to the effect that many
years hence the men and women Of that
day will point with pride" to the real
old-fashioned winter OF 1917, the Man
kato Review says:
1T is one Of the compensations of life
that with the lapse Of time memory will
not only make more radiant the joys of
earlier years but will even throw luster
over the trials, hardsh1ps and adversti S
thru which one has passed.
'"Thus the old soldier finds his greatest
pleasure in telling of the fiery ordeals
thru which he was called to go and the
sufferings he endured; the early settler
delights to narrate the seventies and
deprivations Of pioneer days, and the
person who has ever had a serious case
of illness is happiest when he can pour
into some sympathetic ear an account
of his sick-bed experiences, the operations
he had to undergo and the horrible
tasting medicines that the doctors
found it necessary to pour down him.
'The Daily Review can claim no
originality for these observations, for the
psychological fact here mentioned was
noted thousands of years ago. The
Latin poet, Virgil, tells us that Aeneas
and his comrades, after being storm
tossed on the sea for many days, were
thrown shipwrecked and famished on the
Lybian coast. The leader, gathering his
discouraged followers together, gave
them a feed of some wild game he had
slain and then made them speech, the
most memorable utterance of which
was, Perhaps some day it. will
be spleasure to remember these things"
I'm years to come the severe cold Of
the winter. Of 1916-19l7, with it's deep
SHOWS, blockaded roads, high prices for
provisions and for coal, ETC., will be the
source Of deep satisfaction to those who
will then recall it's incidents from their
memories and be able, as they tell the
story to wondering hearers of a later
generation, to boast as did old Aeneas,
when he told the story of Troy's de-
struction and his own perilous voyage
"All OF which I saw and great part of
which I was.''
Equally in point with these quota
tons from the Latin poet, may be these
words from Shakespeare: .s.-..
Sweet are the uses of adversely;
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet precious jewel in his head"

The Open Forum

Editor Open Forum:
There is apparently an opinion ahoat
that the Boy Scouts are members of a
military or semi-military organization.
This is not true, however. The New
international Year Book for 1915, says:
"The Boy Scouts Of America is an
organization founded in 1908 for the
purpose of drilling boys between the
ages of IL to Is years, in self-reliance,
manhood and citizenship"
The Boy Scout movement can be
traced back to widely separated sources,
but the compelling idea is creative.
From the very first the idea has not
been on the military note, but on peace
virtues and learning practical trades.
The emphasis and ideals of the move
ment belong to the highest plans that
Of efficient citizenship, service and
character building.
The Scout program is proving practic-
able as civic enterprise. There are
many cities so thoroly organized that
every phase of boy life in the community
is being reached by Scout activities.
Scoutcraft includes instruction in first
aid to the injured, life saving, tracking,
signalling, cycling, nature study, sea-
manship, campcraft, woodcraft, chivalry
and all the handicrafts.
It is one Of the principal purposes of
the Boy Scout movement, abroad as
well as in our own country, to teach boys
that to create is better than to destroy,
and that PEACE, and NOT WAR, will
make great nation.

Let The President Kn0w

There will be no war unless both
countries involved want war, and are
bound to fight. If one of the countries
wants war and the other does not there
need be no fear of hostilities. Talk of
upholding the nations honor only by
blood shed, OR that. failing to fight for
fear that not to do SO. would be. 'Peace
without honor" is the sheerest nonsense.
The Public Magazine, discussing the
present situation hits the question off
pretty we'll when it says:
Let it be granted that this country
stands wholly within it's rights, both in
letter and in spirit; let it be admitted
that our government has .retreated to the
wall, before the German invasion of our
rights; still it is possible to avoid war.
How can this be? It is not necessary
to outline programs, but only to lay down
principles. Programs depend on con-
ditions that change from hour to hour;
but principles are eternal and apply to
all conditions. ~ ii
President Wilson does not want war,
and if he declares war it will be because
he is goaded into it by the interests who
do and because the people who do not
want it sit idly by and fail to let the
president know that they do not want
to see this fair land plunged into HOSTILE
ties.
The few who are. anxious; to bring
the United States into. an armed clash
with Germany: or with Mexico, are the
ones who are making all the noise. The
ones who want peace are so blamed
peaceful that they sit idly by and are
not letting the President know their
attitude in the matter.
1t is time to wake up and inform the
powers at Washington, with no uncertain
sound that they do not want war.
Mayor Van Lear of Minneapolis, is
one of the few men holding like position,
who has been able to inform the President
how large number of people of that
city stand on the subject.
Let there be more Mayor Van Lears,
and let them make more noise and the
President will soon realize who is really
behind him. -... 80.
