The Boy Scouts
Tackle Big Job
EVERY SCOUT TO BOOST
AMERICA"

America has long been recognized
as the leader among nations standing
for liberty and democracy.
America entered the war as sacred
duty to uphold the principle of liberty
and democracy. Asa democracy, our
country faces great danger, not so
much submarines, battleships and in
vading armies, because our enemies
armies apparently have little chance
of reaching our shores. Our danger
is from within. We can easily see how
poor Russia has been made to suffer
because the people did not know the
truth. We have spies working in
America who are misinforming the
public.
Therefore the scouts have been ask
ed by President Wilson to distribute
war literature among the citizens of
America. The literature is being Civ
en- out now, and you are asked to read
it carefully, and then pass it on to
some of your neighbors to read also.
The boy scouts are now to become
a military unit. All the boys from
the ages of 16 to IS are required to
drill and take part in military tactics.
The scoutmasters are advised to cor
respond with national headquarters,
and thus avoid delay. Before the war
scouting was non-military organiza-
ton, but since we entered the war all
boys have to do their bit, and the
scouts are doing theirs by preparing
to enter the battlefield when they are
old enough.
The boy scout organization cannot
exist without sufficient funds to pay
the numerous expenses at headquar-
tiers. The officials ask nothing from
the scouts except their monthly dues,
and these are to pay only local ex-
penses. Therefore where does the
money come from to pay the expenses
at headquarters 1t must come from
the generosity of the people. 1t is
gotten by subscription. Clearwater,
Dunedin and st. Petersburg each sub
scribed 81 900 for the boy scouts. Tar
pom Springs subscribed only $50. Ger
tainly this is a disgraceful showing
for Tarpon. How can it be remedied?
Simply by subscribing your bit. Have
you done it? The scouts are the right
hand workers of the Red Cross and
Uncle Sam. Surely they are worthy
of your support.
Scout commissioner Juniper was
present at our meeting last Tuesday,
and stated that our merit badge GER
tificates had arrived. Out of 80
scouts in Tarpon Springs we have
two Eagle scouts. This is the highest
award a scout can get, and there are
no other Eagle scouts in Hillsborough
or Pinellas county. There will be sew
eral more of them in Tarpon in a
short time.

a critic of art. 1t is condition simi-
lar to that which has applied in Rus
STA. There the country has been bur
dened by high officials, who, overstep-
ping their natural rights, have for
personal or other reasons made them
selves censors of matters both civil
and religious, denying to the public
things which are theirs by inalienable
right.
1--WE have no room for czar-like CEN
sors in America. Let them act with
due reason and within their limita-
tons But let them keep their fingers
off the matter of artistic criticism. IL
a film production contains matters
which they would bar for purely per-
sonal reasons, such censors have no
right to their position. Let us have
sane censorship is my earnest plea"

REMEMBER THIS

Mr.. J. R. Crellin, manager Of the
electric light and ice company here,
requests The Leader to announce that
the big smokestack at the plant which
blew over in the recent heavy storm,
and which was only partially replaced,
will be set up Sunday. This will ne
cessitate shutting off the power for
several hours. Sunday is taken for
this work to inconvenience the people
as little as possible. 1t is anticipated
the work can be done in a few hours
but again, it may take the entire day.

twelve million dollars for the pro-
secution of reclamation projects

than four million dollars over the
amount appropriated for this pur-
pose during the five YEAR, previous

in 1914 he saved the appropriation
for the Flathead irrigation project

its merits and the proportionate
benefits to be derived by the
white and Indian settlers.
He aided in the passage of the
acts extending the payment period
of entrymen under irrigation pro-

homesteaders to relinquish nom
irrigable holdings in excess of 20
acres; authorizing assignments of

Robert Hayden, a young man
residing over in the Missouri river
country near Frazer was arrested
last Monday night by deputy
sheriff Johnson, on a charge of
assault in the End degree, upon
complaint made by Mrs. Drake.

over some land and cattle, and
that on Monday Hayden had shot
at Mrs. Drake with a Winchester
rifle, firing two shots at her, but
as he was about quarter of a

There will be a three cornere(
fight for the office of U.S.Senatol
this fall, with Walsh, Lanstrun
and Jeanette in the race, but We
predict that it will be easy pickens
for Walsh. Anyone that has
watched the good work Senator
Walsh has already done, both for
Montana and the nation as d
whole, cannot help but want to
send him back there again to
continue the good work.
Senator Walsh, by reason of his
experience and ability, and the
confidence which President Wilson
has placed in him, is by far better
qualified to represent Montana at
the nations capitol than either of
the other two candidates could
ever hope to be.
A summary of what Senator
Walsh has done for the farmers
of northern and eastern Montana,
as we'll as for the new settlers
throughout the state, shows that
his service in their behalf has
been of almost incalculable bene-
fit.
He personally obtained from
President Wilson the sum of five
million dollars from the emergency
war fund for the relief of farmers
who lost their crops in the recent
drouth. Two and one third million
dollars of this fund were allotted
to Montana to be loaned for the
purchase of seed wheat for the
replanting Of burned areas.
Applications for loans amounting
to 100000 for fall planting have
already been made and more than
a million dollars are expected to
be loaned to afflicted growers 10
plant spring crops.
He voted for $3.50 wheat when
the Gore amendment to the agri-
cultural stimulation bill was before
the United States Senate. This
matter was before Congress for
six months and he voted on every
roll call for the higher price for
wheat, believing that the best
way to increase production is to
increase the price to the farmers.
He saved the claims of the
