A FAULTY ANALYSIS.

I: Tho New York Times analyses the
! status Of the men in tho house and
; senate who contributed to the deplor-
] able exhibition Of last week, when
F.! thirteen men In the house and doz-
! en- in the senate opposed action by
! the United States government to pro-
! vide effective defense for those Amer
/ lean rights which are menaced by the
/ unlawful and unprovoked action OF
Germany. That the conclusions reach.
ed are defective is not strange. be-
cause no analysis of this sort can be
] imperfect knowledge of local condi-
tions. as we'll as a necessarily incom-
plete knowledge of individual temper
ament.
In it's editorial summary the Times
says:
Helgesen Of North Dakota rep
resents the pro-German element
In his state. His two colleagues,
Young and Norton, represent the
straight-out American sentiment
of the state. Helgesen trains with
Gronna, who represents the Scan
dinavians of North Dakota in the
senate.
In another paragraph the Times
ysays that the vote from North Dakota
represents the Scandinavian follow
ing of Senator Gronna."
The Times has been imperfectly in
formed concerning the conditions in
! this state. North Dakota is divided
into three districts. The only very
large German vote in the state is in
the Third district, represented by Con-
gresham Norton. who voted as a
member of the American congress
ought TO have voted.
1t is impossible to account for Mr.
Helgesen's vote on the basis of any
sentiment in his district. the First
His action is rather to be explained on
the basis of temperament, a passion
for controversy, an inability to dis
tinguish between little things and big
things. and -stubbornness which
closes his mind against the reception
of facts which do not square with his
preconceived opinions.
1t is unjust to North Dakotans OF
Scandinavian origin to say that either
Mr.. Helgesen or Mr. Gronna repre-.
sents them. The number Of persons OF
any race who are in accord with these
men in their opposition to the equip
E1ent of our government for the per-
Torrance of its duty is very small

represent.
This is not a good time for making
race distinctions. But If anyone seek.
in congress for man of Scandinavian
birth who represents the real spirit O.
the people Of his own race in NORTH
Dakota, he will find such man in the
person Of Knute Nelson, senator from
Minnesota, a man stanch and rugged
an American to his very marrow, who
loves peace, but who never feared tt

ORGANIZATION Of SCOUTS

When q boy registers as scout, he
becomes a member of a group called q
patrol. A patrol consists of eight boys
one Of whom is patrol leader and an
other assistant patrol leader. Patrols
are formed into troops. Not more than
four patrols are taken into one troop
and three is considered q better mum.
Der as the scoutmaster who leads q
troop can get better results with q
small group Of boys than with large
one.
When a community desires to derive
the benefits of the scout movement
three or five men form what Is known
as q troop committee and this COM
mittee communicates with the local
council which holds q charter for that
particular district. In cases where
there is no local council the troop COM
mittee applies directly to the national
council. A scoutmaster is then select
ed and he receives a commission from
the national council upon the recon-
mendation Of the troop committee.
Local councils are formed in COM
munities where there are three or
more troops. Such q council is made
up Of ten or more men. These men
are elected as representatives q the
various interests of the community In
GLIDING religious, educational, business
and civic activities. In many cities
each troop elects at least enc member
Of its troop committee as a member Of
the local council.
The national council is made up Of
delegates from the various local coun-
ellis, president and ex-presidents of
the United States, governors Of the
various statessand limited number Of
other men distinguished for their
achievements In work for boys.
This in brief is the scout organiza-
ton. It was planned with q view o.
insuring proper supervision of all scout
work and Of keeping the local council
and the national council directly in
touch with both the scout and the
Az soon as any impor-
tant addition is made to the scQpt pro-
gram, as soon as some means - dis
covered Of doing things better than
they have been done before, this infor-
nation must Immediately reach every
branch Of the organization. Some Of
the best men in the country are every
day volunteering valuable suggestions
to local councils and to the national
council and 1t is very necessary that
these latest details Of scouting should
reach the scout and the seoutmaster
with the least possible delay.
