THE law of supply and demand must regulate

SAL VAT7ON ARMY,.S WORK

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: The eff
fort of the Salvation Army to raise
q national fund OF $13, 100000 is made
easier by the fact that every returned
doughboy is an enthusiastic supporter
on the organization and that there Is
no church or minister of high or low
degree in any church who does not
generously recognize the splendid
work of the Salvation Army, at home
as well as abroad. The story of the
Salvation Army's help of the soldiers
is an oft-told tale. 1t had long been
organized and had no difficulty about
getting workers. The long experience
OF the army in this country had re-
yealed the most competent. Questions

WHY NOT BE FRANK?

IF It was intended to recognize the Monroe
doctrine in the proposed covenant OF the league
Of nations, why did not the trainers OF the coy
enant say so in direct, explicit ter1nss Article
twenty-one says that nothing In this coVen-
ant shall be deemed to affect the validity OF IN
ternational engagements such as treaties OF ar
filtration or regional understandings like the
Monroe doctrine for securing the maintenance
OF peace" Like the Monroe doctrine Is not
the Monroe doctrine itself. The words for Sc
curing the maintenance of peace are words OF
limitation which can be made the basis Tor re-
pudiation of the doctrine whenever the league
decides that it is no longer ''for securing the
maintenance of peace" No businessman would
sign a contract as vague and indirect as that,
nor would he place much confidence IN any re-
vised form of contract written by man who
first tried to induce him to sign one as evaslve
and dangerous as that How easy it would have
been for perfectly frank men to say 1.-The Mon
roe doctrine has the full approval Of and will
be upheld by the league Of nations" Lack OF
frankness is pretty strong indication Of insn-
eerity.

THE BOY SCOUTS.

When the educational authorities of the ma
ton finally determine just what sort OF training
is best suited to the needs of our youth below
the age of eighteen years in lieu of specific mill
tary training, it probably will be seen that the
product they want is fairly well appropriated
in the Boy Scout He is a boy who is trained
to outdoor exercises he is trained to use his eyes
and hands; he is taught to use his knowledge
gained in school and in reading to aid IN dis
covering facts for himself; he is wonted to a
manly attitude toward his fellows and sensible
chivalry of behavior; he is constantly prac-
ticed in being useful to the public.
If great majority of our boys were Boy
Scouts to begin with, the end of any training
looking to physical education and fitting the
young men of the land for military duty would
be in considerable measure secured. And this
preparatory work would be done In the best
manner because it would be voluntary. The
best recruiters for Boy Scout enrollers are the
boys themselves. They like the organization,
like what they get out of it, put themselves into
it intellectually.
Here in Keofuk the Boy Scout movement APP
parently has fallen into allegiance; but it could
be revived with profit to the boys themselves
and be Of inestimable benefit to the nation In
days to come.

THE COSTA R1cAN SITUATION.

AS soon as we entered the war little Costa
Rica placed her ports at our disposal and offer
ed free passage through her territory to any
forces we NIGH need to send for the defense Of
the Panama canal Five months after We did,
She too declared war on Germany and, as far
as her resources have permitted has co-operat-
ed LOYALTY with the allies. Twenty-three ma
lions of earth have recognized her present gov
eminent, the United States being the only inn
po1tant state outside of the Teuton-Turk al
Nance which has not done SO; and our influence
has so far kept her out Of the league Of nations.
There seems no doubt that Costa Rica has in
President Tinoco an enlightened and capable
chief executive; yet things are happening down
there which seem to require explaining to rebut
the presumption that Washington is PLAYING to-
wards her covertly unfrendly part. It would
appear that about twenty Costa Ricans started
a revolution and were promptly reinforced By
one thousand Nicaraguans with the seeming
tacit approval of their government. Nicaragua.
as is well known, would act upon the slightest
hint from Washington to let the Costa Rican
government alone. Yet no such suggestion an.
pears to have been made; and it looks to some
observers conversant with Central American af-
Fairs as though Nicaragua considered that she
was pleasing Washington by overthrowing the
Tinoco government 1t is an unfortunate state
of affairs, the full facts of which probably vii

or remain out Of it. and who finally
voted with the cold feet and German

This time it Is at Zurich. where
the Women's International Confer
ence for Peace is holding forth. Who
asked the women to organize for
permanent peace is not known. But
there is flock Of the busybody
ladies at Zurich. and they adopted a
resolution roundly condemning the
peace treaty adopted by the allies.
No person, save a German. or SYM
pathizer with Germany, or a soft
ninny. believes that the dose of
peace terms administered to Ger
many is more than that nation de-
serves. So 1t must be that the
women who are holding forth at
Zurich, former Congresslady Rankin
among the number, are to be cata-
logued in either Of the above classes.
Former Congresslady Rankin (she
was speedily unloaded by the people
of her district in Montana when they
discovered how they had been duped)
had expressed her sympathies on
various occasions with radical SO.

up the cudgel fer the oppressed
