BOOST THE BOY SCOUTS

Ovinx 70 tho great military demon
strE4ton hare last week. the attention Of
tAs community was distracted from the
campaign Of tho Boy Scouts for asso-
ctats members. and the desired quota
was not obtained. For this reason the
arrive has been extended to the present
week, and It Is believed that there will
be little difficulty In reaching the goal
Of 1890 associate members In Ohio
county. Naturally, new active members
are welcome. TOO at this time, as at all
othsr times, but the particular object Of
the campaign Is to enlist the interest
Of adults In the Scouts.
II should not be neceSsary to tell the
people Of Wheeling and Ohio county
about the BOY Scouts Their hard and
effective work here during the war Is
still fresh in the minds OF all. and the
character Of the organization Is gener-
ally known Although uniforms and
certain other features have been adopted
the Boy Scouts are not military in char
acter or purpose. The organization IL
a great school. designed to develop man
hood, honor. helpfulness and health.
TO be q member Of the Scouts does
not necessarily take much OF a boys
time, although he can spend consider
able time Ia Scout activities very ben
encIally, II convenient, particularly In
vacation time. The great aim Of the
Scouts Is to train boy to be the right
kind Of q man. and such an object Ger
taInly deserves the hearty support and
eo-operntion Of the community.

LET'S HAVE THE TRUTH

The advice of Secretary OF LABOR
Wilson to organized labor not to. Try
the Mooney case was undoubtedly good
Whatever may be the merits or Inc
controversy over Moneys guilt or IN
nocence. IL is impossible TO arrive at
TIE truth through a public discussion.
The actual facts Of any question arc
hard to get, and as a man passes through
no he. realizes this more and more To
lump at conclusions or TO form a Juog-
ment after hearing a case presented IN
nreiudiced or onc-sidcd manner is al
most certain to result in grave ms
take.
It Is decidedly unfortunate that th9
.aIooney murder case has been comph-
Gated by the quarrel between labor and
capital on the Pacific coast. The intro
ductton Of any such controversy Is GER
tain to obscure the real issue and 10
make II vastly more difficult to reach
a lust verdict. Some Of those on the
CAPITAL side Of the controversy have
been grossly culpable, as shown by tho
use Of a perJured witness at Moneys
trial
That the state had any part In this
perjury has not been alleged. but 1t Is
claimed that the testimony Of this wit
ness made Moneys conviction sure.
Many unprejudiced persons say that
Mooney would have been convicted any
how, as the weight Of evidence against
him was very strong. but this does not
satisfy, and cannot be expected to sat
tsfy. those who honestly think that
Mooney was Framed" by enemies of
organized labor.
The best course Is the government in
vestigation which the secretary Of labor
has assured the delegates Of the Aneri-
can Federation is in progress Never
was there more need Of calm, unpreiu-
diced presentation of facts. Not only
labor, hut everybody, would like 10 know
the exact truth about the Mooney case.

NOT VILLA

An snti-Carransa movement of the
right sort would probably gain the rec
IGNITION Of the United States and for
eirn governments, but the one now in
progress in northern Mexico is apt to re-
ceiye scant consideration. General An
geles has always made rather favor
able impression upon Americans, but,
unfortunately for him. he Is closely as
ISOLATED with Pancho villa, Of whom
the United States has too many painful
memories.
As to Carranza, the blunt fact is that
ne has not made good Apparently he
has not tried very hard. Obcessed by
hatred for the United States, Carranza
has gone to extremes in anti-foreign
LEGISLATION, which is Of such an essen
tially injurious and outrageous a ma
ture as to provoke the formal condern-
nation Of the allied peace conference.
In the war Mexico was pro-Gerrnan, NJ.
this was probably inspired more by pre-
judice against the United States than
actual sympathy for the German cause.
But, no matter how much this nation
would like to see a saner executive In
Carranza's place. Villa Is certainly not
the man. nor could we support any man
dominated by Villa Fighting may be
essential to the establishment OF bet

be done by men Of intelligence and high
principles before the outside world viii

iral acts have stamped him as unit for

Irish Question BroodS Over All.
There will evidently come in time in
the United Kingdom local legislatures
after the manner OF your state legisla-
lures, but II will be some time yet.
In the meantime, as all the members
thought and most members said. thcro
is the question OF ireland. different in
character and more urgent in demand
than the somewhat uniformed tcpid de-
sire Of either England. Scotland or
Wales for local parIiamcnts. Ireland, in
fact. brooded like black spccter over
the whole debate. The Irish 'banshee, as
is often said IN tho house Of commons.
stalks tho floor Of Westminster. Not
single speaker outside the small groups I
mentioned ventures 10 suggest that lrc-
land could remain where she is. Sir
Edward Carson had the courage to de-
clare that the best policy with regard
to Ireland was 10 do nothing. Ronald
Mcneil. his chief lieutenant. smote the
whole federal proposal hip and thigh. but
they were so exceptional tina. when divi-
sion came tho vote in favor OF paTlia-
mcntary transformation was next 10
unanimous.
What docs it all mean? II means that
nobody who now takes seriously Eng
lish politics believes that Ireland can
be allowed to remain as it is one hour
beyond the signature Of peace and the
return Of Lloyd George and tho restor-
alton Of normal conditions in tho house
Of commons. l do not now believe any
thing will be done officially in Paris.
and do not look for the ncEt substan-
tial effort TO settle tho Irish question
