CAN'T STRIKE
AT WILL.
According to Attorney Gen
eral Palmer

Harrisburg, Pa = While trade
unionists believe they have the right
to strike, this right is not absolute,
according to Attorney General Pal
mer, in a speech which sustained the
Cummins anti-strike theory, made be-
fore meeting of state. municipal Of
ficials.
while the right to strike in all
ordinary industries, under normal
circumstances, cannot be denied" said
the speaker, there are some callings
so closely related to the life, liberty
and security of the people that the
right to strike in these cases must be
subordinated to the superior right of
the public to enjoy uninterrupted SER
vice"
The speaker emphasized the rights
of the public, but he made no men
tion of the duties of the public when
wrong exists and the silence of the
public in these cases until employees
are forced to suspend work.

REALLY OF ENGLISH ORIGIN
Punishment by Tarring and Feather
Ing First Instituted by King Rich
ard Many Centuries Ago.

Throughout the English-speaking
world there seems to be a widespread
impression that the punishment of tar
and feathers is something peculiarly
American and that the practice orig
mated with and is confined to mobs In
the wilder or more remote sections of
the United States. But the practice
did not begin in America and is, in
fact English in origin.
The first known use of tar and
feathers was in the British navy 730
years ago. 1t is on record that in
1889 Richard of the Lion Heart, when
about to start on the Third crusade,
ordered that such of his sailors as
were found guilty of theft should be
covered with boiling pitch" and
feathers or down be then strewn upon
them.
This ancient employment of boiling
pitch of course meant death, while
the modern application of pitch heat
ed only enough to run and smear is
not necessarily fatal. The modern
American practice is, therefore, a
more merciful adaptation of an an
cient British substitute for the usual
hanging of a thief.

In opposing the declaration of the
Pennsylvania State Federation of La
Dor for general strike to secure free
speech in this state, the attorney gen
eral said "the guaranty of free speech
must be carefully preserved" and that
it is not necessary to strike, because
lawful remedies are at hand
A delegation of Pittsburg trade
unionists recently called on the at
torney general at Washington in the
interest of free speech, but as yet
the lawful remedies he referred to
have not been applied and gag law,
enforced by mobs of business men and
the police, prevails throughout west

EAGLE RANK is HARD WORK

"Just what does a boy have to do
to become an Eagle scout?"
To become an Eagle scout, a boy
must first reach the rank of first-class
scout. Three months is the minimum
time required, during which period he
performs % different tests, including
fire-building. cooking, opening bank

ming, tracking, hiking, map drawing
and study of trees, animals and
stars.
Then the scout is ready to begin
study for merit badges. These are en-
blems given for proficiency in certain
lines of study.
The test is passed before an exam
iner, who gives the boy a certificate
in evidence of the work. The scout

When the scout has received five
merit badges in this way he is desig-
mated Life scout Ten badges give
him the rank of Star scout, while q

Many of these tests are far from
easy. In bird study, for example, the
scout must know and identify not less
than so different birds. In life-saving
he must be able to rescue a boy of
his own weight in deep water. In camp
ing he must sleep in the open for so
nights, and be able to make fire with
out matches. There are 80 merit
badge tests.
