Two HUNDRED e

Success or failure Of the boy scou'
movement in this city rests in thu
hands Of 200 men. 1t ought not to b'
necessary to argue as to the dement's
of the boy scouts. 1t IS one of thu
greatest organizations for character
building and clean living that has evei
been formed. In the first place, i
gives the boys something to do; i
trains them in 6rst aid and other use
full traits: it instills a love of nature
that remains with the boy all through
life: II encourages clean sport and
fixes the habit of service and doing
for others. All this is of untold bene-
fit to the coming generation and can
not help but reflect favorably upon
the whole community.
This IS the busy season for the boy
scouts. Vacation time is upon us; It
is the season for being out of doors
If anything is to be done for the boys
now is the time.
But movements of this sort cannot
run without proper support. Men in
.terested In the welfare OF the boys
have got 10 sacrifice their W time
for the work and there has got to be
sufficient funds to meet expenses. Here
is where the zoo men come In.
Recently a plan was adopted where
by zoo men agreed 10 raise $50 each
for the benefit of the boy scouts of
Perth Amboy. Each man who assum-
ed the responsibility for raising $50
s~houldered just that much OF the re-
sponsibillty of making the boy scout
movement in this city q success. III
these men make. good the future OF
as far as Perth Amboy is con-
cerned, Is assured. Those who fail to
deliver the $50 for which they have
pledged themselves must assume their
share of the blame IL the scout are
compelled to disband. When one
realizes what is at stake-the future
manhood of the eity-it is a pretty
serious matter to treat such a pledge
lightly.
Really, in these days OF big wages
and large bonuses. when the trading
in ~luxuries is unprecedented. it ought
not to be a hard matter for n man
to go out among his friends and raise
sSO-especlaIly when the aus for
which the money is to be used is men
toned.
The leaders in the movement have
taken into account the numerous de-
being made on the people at
this time in various campaigns and
therefore they have arranged their
appeal In small amounts SO that If
each one gives u little it will all total
up to the desired amount.
At the present time the boy scouts
look to those 200 men who have
agreed to raise $50 each. Surely those
who were interested enough in the
welfare of the boys to promise this
$50 will not fail them now. But II the
money IS to count at all 1t must be
forthcoming at once as the season
when It is to be used is now here. The
boy scouts are too well established IN
this city TO have the movement ran
at this time all for the want Of $50
apiece from 200 men.

SENATOR Dtx0N'S OPENING Meeting
AT DILLON SuCCESS--F0R DEMOCRATS

larly so as not to miss such literary
gems as the senator quoted.
The meeting was scheduled as the
opening gun in the senator's verbal
barrage to defeat the democratic
state ticket. All Of the usual bally-
hoe methods, including band
'neverything, was called into play
before the meeting to SUR up some
enthusiasm. Approximately 500
persons were on hand at the city hall
when the senator began his speech.
Almost 800 OF them stayed for the
finish.
A goodly part of Mr. Diyon's ad-
dress was devoted to a Iervent APP
peal to oldline democrats to ditch
their party affiliations and hook on
TO the tail of the Messiah Dixon s
republican kite. Every such refer
epee by the speaker was greeted
with applause from the gathering of
republican warhorses who sat On the
platform and ominous silence from
the democrats in the audience. II
was notlceable that no democrats,
either "old line" or new line, sat
behind the speaker.
Most OF the senator's remarks
were addressed to discussion OF
conditions in Russia and North Da-
kota and many Of the audience were
unable to determine. from the sub
ject matter of his address, whether
Mr. Dixon was a candidate for com
missar of some provincial soviet il
darkest Russia or was running
| for a North Dakota office.
Senator Dixon finally advocated
as a remedy for all evils the plan Of

Washington, Sept. %. Despite his illness and ap-
preaching automatic retirement from office the
ment to impeac President Wilson for his defiant VII
olaton of the Jones merchant marine act will be vig-
orousy pressed unless the whips of the republican par
ty are able to stamp out the enterprise
In addition to the anger Of congress and the aston
shnent of constitutional lawyers over an act by the
president unequaled in autocratic arrogance since the
Romanoffs, Hapsburgs and Hohenzolerns, several Of
the members Of the supreme court said to be
aroused by the danger that they will be robbed Of
their hitherto exclusive right to declare acts of con-
gress unconstitutional.
Hannis Taylor authority constitutional and in
ernatonal law known throughout the world describes
the presidents step as a''revival of the British
crowns ancient practice of dispension BY that prac-
ce the old world autocrats would suspend the opera
ton of any law of the realm in behalf of persons they
might wish to favor.
It is agreed here that British shipping interests
stand to benefit almost exclusively from what the
president has done in refusing by proclamation to
null treaties with foreign countries which in
fict with provisions of the shipping law. Nobody
questions the presidents absolute right under the
stuton to veto any act of congress- for any
for no reason whatever, and nobody disputes that
clause in the constitution cited by the president which
makes treaty superior to any law passed by congress-
Having failed to veto the Jones law, having, indeed,
given it his Endorsement and thus made it law, Pres
ident Wilson has right to "dspense" with that
law than he has to annul any other law lawyers
tend and the supreme court must repudate his act
else open the door to the regular abrogaton Of any
law which any president may construe into alleged
violation of some treaty.
eThe sinister rumor is afloat in Washington that

lutionary acts being performed by clique of cabinet
officers who his and his illness to cloak their
undermining of American Institutions. Whether this
be true not the report adds to the bitterness Of
those who declare impeachment proceedings must be
naugurated to break up conspiracy against demo-
cratic government in America.
In this connection the Federated Press learns that
complete set of impeachment charges prepared months
ago for use against the president, and which were
withheld on account Of his grave physical condition,
may be brought into the latest dramatic demand for
his forcible retirement from office.

The Farm and Farmer
. By WILLIAM r. sANeoRN =

This is the open season for hunting.
1t begins today, but many hunters have
long since been swarming over the
country, frightening live stock, STAN
peding sheep and cattle and driving
poultry to shelter. On top of this
they have often broken down fences
or left gates open, as have also parties
in quest of nuts, in many cases.
1t is because of these facts and of
the danger from careless shooting,
that many farms are placarded to
warn tresspassers. But many times
these warnings have been torn down
or entirely disregarded. The farmers
of Center township have taken con-
certed action in regard to hunting on
farm premises and other townships
have advertised that hunters must
keep off.
Among the Wayne county men who
were present at the federation con-
vention at indianapolis this week and
which we noted personally, were:
