Tribute to the pen.

The pen, like the sword, has a dark
side to 6ts history, Not only has it
created good deal of rubbish, but it
has appealed TO the evil passions of
the Ignorant and the disloyal; it has
melted anarchy, sedition and hatred.
But to the pen we are indebted for
all the books OF the world. 1t has en-
ableti poets to sing to us, tictlonists
to charm MS, philosophers and men OF
science TO share with us their valuable
knowledge: il gives as the Bible. 1t
inspired civilization, II is a mighty
agent Beneath the rule of men en-
tlrely great"

that II he is elected he will do his

And II is no Idle reference he
has made to tho matter in the hope
only of catching votes at the election.
BY the refunding Of all the Liberty
issues into a single serial bond issue
bearing interest at the rate of LIS

probably go Immediately to par, the
interest return to bond holders
would be increased by from 10 to 33

bonds would be retired by June Is.

than an adherence to the present

Weeks of Massachusetts in an adj
dress to the Senate on September
II, 1918, during the discussion of
the Fourth Liberty loan act. At that
time he demonstrates how billions
of dollars could be saved to the tsS-
payers by the adoption of the serial
method but his recommendations
were ignored by the Democratic ad-
ministartion. 1t is not yet too late
to secure the advantages Of the SER
ial system II refunding plan should

"On May 81 there were ovtstand-

taxpayers In interest and principal
payments from June Is. 1921. a con-
venient date after the Inauguration
OF the Republican administration, to
June Is. 19i7. approximately $780,

the serial method is the increased
first cost. 1t would require for the
first year approximately twice the
appropriation for principal and in
terest contemplated by the present
plan, but with the annual reductios
OF the principal n few years 1t
would be actually less than the sink
ing fund requirements. Moreover,
appropriations for such purpose are
not resented by the taxpayers as ev-
cry dollar promptly goes back to
them in the shape of interest and
principal payments on their bond
holdings.

legislation would have to be worked

BOY SCOUTS LONGEST HIKE.

The five luckiest Boy Scouts of America that ever shook the dust Of Greater New York and hit the dusty trails of the Far West are now visit ing all of the great national parks as guests of the Far Western Travel ers' association. They were chosen by contest, one from each of the five bor- oughs of Greater New York. to repre- sent the scout councils of those Dor- oughs.
 They are:
 John Prest, Brooklyn council. He is seventeen years old and an Eagle ! scout with A merit badges for special achievements in scouting. Cyril McDermott, Manhattan coun- cil. He is sixteen years old and is an Eagle scout with 26 merit badges.
 Herbert Jacobi. Queens council He is twelve years old and Is the. youngest First Class scout in the borough.
 Walter Perry. Richmond council. He is fifteen years old and Second Class scout.
 John Breitfeser. Bronx council. He ia fourteen years old and First Class scout.
 None of these boys eyer before trav- eled any considerable distance from New York. and the experiences they have had on this trip are all new and wonderful to them.
 The Far Western Travellers assocfa- ton has been active for years in the SSee America First movement Its president, John B. Patton. in seeking concrete ways to show faith by works, followed the suggestion of Huston Thompson, federal trade commission CT, to send city boys to the national parks. Naturally they were to be boy scouts, and from the biggest city. But President Patton says: "The Far Western Travellers. association claims
