PERSONAL RIGHTS.

Replying to the personal liberty"
argument OF the vets, Clinton N. How
ard, who In characterized as one Of
the bonb-throwers In the prohibition
ranks, puts II this way:
"You have personal right to eat
putrid meat; I have no right to sell
II. II your hog dies a natural death,
or with the cholera, you have per-
sonal right TO grind II up into sausage
and eat II; but you have no right to
offer Il for public sale. A man has n
personal right to corn his dead mule
and serve Il on his own table. You
have as good a right to eat your cat
rs I have my chicken, or your dog
as I have my pig. The Chinese In
New York have n dog feast ut their
New Year's celebration and the police
have never interfered with their per-
sonal right. Bu: II you opened meat
market and skinned dogs and cats and
exposed horse sausage for public sale
the meat Inspector would cOnfiscate
the entire supply, close up the place ms
a public nuisance and arrest you for
selling what you had a personal right
TO eat.
1--WE have law against the sale Of
impure literature. We do not say that
a man shall not read II. even though
that may harm him; because II Is his
personal right TO damage his own char
acter and corrupt his own mind; but
II he opens shop for the dissemna-
ton and sale Of such literature to
corrupt the youth Of the community,
society steps In and interferes-not
with his personal liberty to read what
he likes. hut with his social right to
sell that which corrupts public morals.
Under this law tons Of impure litera-
ture, licentious post cards aud immoral
books are seized and destroyed every
year. without compensation to their
owners: indeed. they are prosecuted
and fined or Jailed for the offense
against public morality and decency.

Dwindling Wool Supply.

War and embargoes are making tex
tile men uneasy rs to the wool sup
ply. World demand is increasing
while the supply is growing less. Our
own needs are twice what we raise
and the chasm between domestic sup
ply and demand is widening. Our pro
duction is less today than % years

creased 60 per cent. The difference
between what we produce and what

The British embargo on wool shows
how precarious is our position. Yet

MORE AND BETTER.

The argument that the workingman
will lose his job II the liquor traffic Is
abolished is based upon the absurd
proposition that. II the liquor dealer
fails to get the money now spent for
beer and whisky, nobody else will get
Il.
II Is assumed that the farmer who
now sells his grain and grapes, his
apples and cherries. to the liquor In
terests will be compelled to destroy
them: when the fact Is that figures
furnished by the United States gov
eminent clearly indicate that the
ability of the American farmer to raise
enough grain Ia adequately supply this
country is gradually decreasing. To
listen To the defender Of the saloon,
one would think that nobody likes
grapes and cherries and apples, unless
they come In form Of booze. There
are millions Of youngsters who would
be delighted TO have at least one
chance To eat all the fruit they really
need-Charles Stelzle. Member of

SCOUT rs
SCOUTS EDUCATIONAL WORK
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts OF America.)

No organization In the country has
any stronger leadership in educational
matters than has been secured by the
Boy Scouts Of America. Members Of
the board are well qualified to keep
the work Of the Boy Scout movement
In full accord with the most modern
and best ideas Of education. The ma
tional council has planned to refer to
this department all matters Of an edu-
cational character. The department Is
now preparing:
I. To give leadership In a series Of
conferences for scoutmasters and other
scout officials throughout the country
as deemed advisable from time to time.
2. To promote and develop training
courses for leadership In scouting
throughout the country either In con-
nection with established educational in
situations or under the auspices Of local
councils.
3. To arrange for the presentation
Of the merits Of the scout program and
Its appeal for leadership before vari-
Gus student bodies and educational
and religious conventions and confer
ences.
4. To cooperate In making "scout-
Ing" the official bulletin, helpful to
scoutmasters and others actively en-
gagged In scout work through definite
suggestions and general educational ar
ticles.
8. To develop correspondence courses
for inspiration and instruction for
scout leaders.
0. To cultivate the interest Of school
teachers and others particularly inter-
ested In educational problems through
educational journals and conferences.

AMONG THE SCOUTS.

A scout walks through the woods
with silent tread. No dry twigs snap
under his feet and no loose stones
turn over and throw him of his bal
ance. His eyes are keen and he sees
many things that others do not see.
He sees tracks and signs which reveal
to him the nature and habits Of the
creatures that made them. He knows
how to stalk birds and animals and
study them In their natural haunts. He
sees much, but is little seen.
A scout can make himself known to
Q brother scout wherever he may be
by q method which only scouts can
know. He has brothers in every city
In the land and In every country In the
world. Wherever he goes he can give
his signs and be assured Of friendly
welcome. He can talk with brother
scout without making q sound. or he
can make known his message by imi-
tating the click Of q telegraph key.

estry at Syracuse university has Of

A TROOPS BIG GOOD TURN.

Troop l Of Santa Fe, N. NJ, had its
first opportunity to do a community
good turn when the New Mexico State
Education association met for Its an
nual convention In their city.
Hotel accommodations were limited
and many of the visiting teachers had
to be assigned to private houses. The
scouts served as guides, one riding on
the running board Of each automobile
and helping the teachers with their
luggage.
No tips were taken, although many
were offered. The work Of the scouts
made n great hit with the town as well
AS with the visitors. The chamber of
commerce and the women's clubs are
to give the scouts banquet to show
their appreciation. The association
adopted resolutions thanking the troop
for Its efficient service.

COMBINING CITY AND COUNTY
BY Cutting Expenses There Would Be
More Money to Spend on Public
improvements.

Mayor Campbell Of Houston has
started a discussion Of a proposal TO
combine city and county governments,
and eliminate one set of officers. The
writer advocated that several years
ago, but plans to reduce the expense
Of government were not then as much
In favor as plans to increase II.
There is no sound reason why a
commissioners court and city COM
mission should both be required for
legislative service, nor is there any
apparent need for the double service
Of a city and a county police force.
Many other Implications could be sug-
gested equally wasteful.
The city and county Of st. Louis
are identical. New York and London
are under the same single system of
government. So 1t cannot be urged
that the plan will not fit city.
The truth is that the American sys-
ten seems to be based on a demand
that provision shall be made for every
man to hold an office who wants one.
II has multiplied offices to a degree
unknown In any other country, and
has, as result, driven the cost of gov
eminent TO a figure which exceeds
that of any other country In the world.
II the military branch is excluded
from the comparison.-Waco (Tex.)

SCOUT HANDBOOK BIG SELLER.

Our cOuntry's most popular Juvenile
book is not, as might be supposed,
Robinson Crusoe" or Treasure Is
land" but the Handbook for Boys"
published by the Boy Scouts Of Amer
lea. Within the last two years there
have been published more than 800, 1000
copies Of this book. and 1t is a good
guess that more copies have been sold
than have been sold of both Treasure
Island" and Robinson Crusoe" togeth-
er during the same period. Indeed, It is
not too much to say that II the figures
were available to make such a COM
parison possible, 1t would be shown
that there have been published In the
last two years more copies Of the
Handbook for Boys" than all the
standard stories for boys published
during the same period.
