In his thirty days swing across the con-

will speak in thirty OF the nations leading
cities, President Wilson has not found it con-
Nenient 10 include Richmond, capital of the
State Of his nativity the Legislature Of which
he recently sought to influence to support
of the suffrage amendment. 1t does seem
a triie odd that the President, residing on its
border and so frequently yachting in its
waters. while processing for it unbounded
admiration, has found it undesirable TO visit
the State except very rare occasions.

Twelve hours OF discussion OF one subject

indicate that Senator La Toilette has hecn
particularly chastened or abashed by the eX-

pointing an accusing finger at him. But his
.datrbe against would-be domestic robbers
of the public domain would be more effective
if during the war he had been bit more
severe toward the robbers from without.

A Budapest dispatch says that Bella Kun is
negotiating from his prison cell with Nicholas
Lenine for financial aid TO regain power in
Hungary, and that there are 100 .OUs armed
Bolshevists ready Il. revolt Immediately upon
withdrawal OF the Roumanian army. The
allied council recently ordered the Roumanian
army to quit the country. If its departure
means that the Bolshevists are to regain con-
troll it would seem that the Roumanians in
the interest of stabiizing conditions to allow
the establishment Of democratic government,
would best stay in Hungary while longer.

or I will do my best and do my
duty to God and my country,
And to obey the Scout law. To
help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong
mentally awake, and morally
straight" When any mem Der
fails to live up TO this promise
he ceases to be Scout and must
hand over his badge. This is a
good organization and we hope
the parents will lend their sssis-

make better men OF our boys.
