TO MAKE BETTER MEN.

The reorganization of the Boy Scout work here is movement of which we can be proud. A score or more of men who hitherto have not been active in scout work have been enlisted, new troop is in the pro- cess of formation and the indica- tions are that before the end of the year the membership will be greatly increased.
 The Boy Scout organizations throughout the country are doing the greatest work in citizen building that possibly any organization is doing. They are taking the boys when they are in the formative pc riod of life and teaching them those things which will make better men of them.
 Best of all the Boy Scouts are as far as it is possible to be fom the namby-pamby. That was the trouble with most boy organizations in the best. While they taught the youngsters a good deal that was splendid for them, they also curbcd those natural instincts which go to make real man. There was ccr- tain tendency to suppress lot of the things about d boy that look bad when he is in his teens but which later help make him better man. The Boy Scouts have struck that hap py medium between the wild and woody and the goody -goody.
 The Boy Scout is taught politeness, discipline, good manners and good morals. He is also taught to use his fists and nothing is too rough for him that is play.

CUMMINGS LAUNCHES
BITTER ATTACK ON
REPUBLICAN, MOVES

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 1S.-
Wasteful expenditure of $2,000,000 for
smelling" committees was charged
against the republican majority in
congress by Homer S. Cummings,
chairman of the democratic national
committee, in an address here tonight
at a dinner attended by democratic
leaders of Kentucky. The committees,
Chairman Cummings said, Were ap-
pointed to ascertain whether there had
been any graft in the conduct of the
world war, but instead demonstrated
that this was the c1eanest war ever
fought in the history of civilization"
1.-THE finger of scorn does not point
to one single democratic official in all
of broad America" added Mr.. Cum
mings. 81 want to remind you that 1t
does not lie in the mouths of those
who conducted the Spanish American
war to indulge in the luxury of criti-
cism. What is there in this war to
compare with the typhoid infested
camps of the war of 1898; what is
there in this war to compare with the
paper soles shoes controversy of 1898,
and what is there in this war to COM
pare to the embalmed beef scandal OF
the Spanish American war?
1--WE have fought a great war for a
great cause and we have had leader

greater heights of glory and power and
splendor and honor than she has ever
known before in her entire history.

Court AS Case of Michi-

Goes to Jury
(By The Associated Pressl

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March 1S.-
Twelve men were today given the fate
OF Senator Truman H. Newberry and
81 other Michigan political leaders,
who for eight weeks have been on trial
charged with conspiracy to violate
state and federal election laws, and to
use the mails in scheme to defraud
contributors to Newberrys 1918 cam
pa:gn fund.
Less than an hour after the jury
retired they were excused for the night
by Judge Sessions and told not to dis
cuss the case again until nine o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Eighty-nine different verdicts were
outlined by the court in it's instruc-
tons as possible findings. With only
two counts left in the Indictment, the
Jury might return verdicts of guilty
or not guilty, on either or both OF the
counts. as to all the defendants.
But if the verdict differed as to in
dividuals it would be necessary to
make return on each of the S5.

sons to commit an offense against the
United States. He said that a common
understanding was sufficient to es
ta blish a conspiracy and that neither
the intent to form one nor the con-
spiracy itself need be proven as such.
Criminal intent is one of the essen
tial elements of a conspiracy, Judg ,
Sessions said. but he held that the
government was not bound to show
that the accused men knew they were
violating a law.
Innocent Intent No Excuse

by innocent intent" said the court.
The court said the jury would be
warranted in finding that the con-
sriracy existed if they We're satisfied
that some of the respondents planned

of Newberry by the use of sum in
excess of $3.50, and that there was a
definite understanding that Newberry
himself should take part in the cam

kill him and blow UP his plant, the
bandit, accompanied by his followers,
stalked into the office on the day speci-
fled and found the colonel waiting for
him unarmed. At this display of nerve,

editor, shook hands and parted with
this tribute:
You're the bravest man 1 ever met"
