Man Who Made a President

From Leslies.
 The man who made Woodrow Wilson President of the United tsates is now Attorney General. It is the second time he has been offered a cabinet post He declined aes. to become Secretary of War in l9lS because he was Quaker and had scruples against participating in war-like measures. Patriotism outranks religious scrupfes, however, and when the test came and A. M. Palmer was appointcd ahen property custodian he unfettered American industry from German pene- tration.
 It may have been George Harvey who discovered Wilson's potentialities, but it was Palmer who kept them alive at the moment of the crisis. The crisis came when Champ Clark received a majority or votes at the Baltimore democratic convention. Wilson's fight was in inc hands of Palmer. his floor manager. and McCombs, his campaign manager. Will son wired them to withdraw his name and Tall in for Clark. By disregardine this order they made him President.
 The department of justice can make or break American business Business men orten demand man of business experi- ence for Attorney General Tn Palmer their wish is consummated. As alien prop- erty custodian he headed the biggest trust SSAhPHhy III lLc WOTlu Ills work was success from business standpoint. as shown by his report that a business in- volving estates of $700, ,0O0,coO was con- drcted for one-seventh of i per cent
 In this position he saw the vital rela- ton between the government and busi- ness prosperity. He saw the need for scundly considered, frank and direct deal ing. This may be reflected in his hand ling of the pending antitrust cases and the negotiations for settlements of busi- ness cases out of court. Palmer is no haggler and no piddler. Prompt settle ments or cleancut demands can be ey- pected, no confusion and no side-swiping.
 Defeat doesn't terrify him. Time and time again, he has been defeated in Penn- sylvania, notably when he ran for senator against Penrose. He preferred to take his lickings rather than bargain with what he considered the reactionary poli- ticians in the Keystone democracy
 Palmer has himself to thank for his success.~ He went through Swarthmore college, a good scholar and good ath- lete. But when he finished academic work he had to earn the wherewithal for law studies. He picked up shorthand and got job as court reporter. This financed his law education. He studied politics at the same time. He took the anti-machine side in Pennsylvania, and built a pretty smooth machine of his own He is one of those rare birds-a reformer who Is mt a hypocrite.

Revolutionary Leaders

Boran s. A. Korff in the Yale Review.
 In Russia, Lenine comes very close to
 the Marat type of man and politician
 though he Is probably less cruel and sor- did and more clever than his French pro- totype. He could hardly be compared to Robespierre, though the latter is certain ly his political ideal: he has nothing of that Frenchman's refinement, intelligence or patriotism. Robespierre, with all his faults. still loved his socialistic pro- gramme. Russia is for Lenine what the poor guinea pig is for the medical man, a live body for experiment: if the experi- ment of socialistic republic does not succeed-so much the worse for the dis tracted country. To the honor of the French leaders one must say that they were in deadly earnest; not for an in- stant did they lose sight of their coun- try's interests
 There exists possibly more likeness in another case-between Trotzky and Dan ton. Both these men were typical dema- gogues and realists of revolution. They never forgot for a moment the facts of life. and were never addicted to any hard and fast theory; everything for them cen tered in their own persons. and the ah-powerful lust of fame: they were both good orators, who knew how to impress a crowd and make the latter an obedient tool; they could both swing with perfect ease from one theory to another and had no scruples in changing both their tao tics and their programms. However, the comparison would not be fair if we did not point out the many facts which must count in favor of Danton. This French man was certainly a much bigger man than his Russian follower. Danton had some very noble impulses which are ab- solutely lacking in thescase of Trotzky. Danton saved France from Brunswick, and acted sometimes very Worthily, help ing cruelty prosecuted individuals: Trot- zky has no such good deeds to show in his defense. Further. there exists the greatest possible difference between the peace treaties these two men concluded Whereas Danton's treaties between France and Sweden and France and Rus- sia were eminently favorable to his coun- try and can be regarded as diplomatic srccesses-especially the second treaty, which excluded Prussia from the coalition against France-the treaty made by Trot- sky will always remain as . frightful dis graee for Rusala. which was simply cold lo GArmany ana complstaIy diamemb beeet-

CAMP ANDREWS

Camp Andrews is a wonder. The biz cabin, 4ox1OO, has already been completed and work has started on the dam. It's going to be some swimming hole, too. You would not recognize Camp Andrews now. We are going to have the biggest scout camp in the country Start reg istering now. Here's a good example: Scout Edward Pennington of Troop 2G Ensley, is the first scout to register for camp, and he registered for three, too, and wanted to know if it would not run longer, as he is anxious to attend camp as long as it will run. There are two baseball games scheduled for the first two weeks of camp and all scouts who are good ball players should be at Camp Andrews to help keep up the scout rec ord

TROOP NEWS

Troop 49-Only two weeks had passed since my last visit to Camp An- drews till last Friday night. Six scouts accompanied me to camp so that we could do some work on our cabin. My, but you could hardly be- lieve your eyes! There were so many changes taking place. The engineers had plated the cabin sites and cab ins were looming up on every side. Two CT three cabins have almost grown be- yond a cabin, they are taking the ap- pearance of Rustic Mansions" How I long to see them completed. Since scouts of Troop 49 have been making regular visits to the camp and have been doing some real work, like all real scouts" they can hardly stay away from Camp Andrews. We are proud of our cabin and boast of it as "our cabin" Our scouts work all kinds of real shrewd plans on dad and moth CT to get to go out so often. From six to twelve have gone each week since the work started. 49s cabin is to be constructed entirely by hand, all the timber, including the roof is to ,e made by hand. Come out, boys, and see what a wonderful place our camp is going to be. The large mess hall. kitchen and auditorium is a peach. I hope to see all of your scouts on the good old ridge again soon.

The April term of United States
court begins here this afternoon at
o'clock. Judge A. M. Cochran is
expected in at noon and will promptly
impanel and charge the grand jury
and draw the petit juries.
Argument in an important oil suit
is expected to be entered into this af-

and the title to much valuable oil
properties in Lee and Estin counties
is said to be involved. The array Of
legal talent which will appear in the

oil cases. The docket is a full one
for this term due to the previous res
sion of Uncle Sans court having been
postponed on account of the influenza
epidemic.
