Frequently news items appear as to
what the Boy Scouts are doing-Sreat
plans being made and executed. We
all nod our heads approvingly. know
ing II Is a fine institution. and its
members arc ever ready to take up
any good work.
But do we appreciate that the ae-
are governed each day by what they
are taught. what they learn and what
they practice eagerly in pursuance OF
that teaching and the desire to come
up to the ideals of the strong. true
Scout?
You notice some boy doing a kind
ly act-going out of his way to help
an old woman across a busy street.
Do you think anything of it beyond
the fact that 1t was nice thing to do ?
Do you realize this has probably be-
come a habit with the boy because
of the teaching he has had and has
applied eagerly?
Do your know that every day, and
:
the boy scout is looking for a chance
to be of service to someone or some
| thing-some good cause? Do your
realize that because of the Boy Scout
movement a new class of boys and
young men are growing up to bring
into the world a lot OF kindness and
helpfulness and eagerness to make
things easier for everyone?
If you have forgotten these things
or do not know the truth of the state
ments. have a talk with some young
Scout some day and find out his idea
of service as part of the days work or
play. Then take inspiration from IL
and gracefully hand it" to the sincere
Boy Scout and those who are interest
ed in him.

JITNEYMEN PUNISH MEMBER.

Apropos of the remarks by police

comes news that one jitney organiza-

n resolution. to be signed by 81 mem

sent to tho Public Utilities Commits

accused be suspended.
The former president of the or
Eanization stated that the man was
expelled because OF damaging accusa-
tons made against him within the
month. I'VE want to keep the name
of our association free from scandal
he said. and to run 1t like any other
business"
In a court OF law Of course the ac-
cunations would have to be proven.
I'm this case the Utilities Commission
would probably give a hearing to the
accused man. but Jitneymen are

Many of us resemble Shylock these
days. It's said the government Is going
after Bergdolls supposed pot of gold,
to hunt for which he was allowed to
leave confinement.
If there had been any person in tho
world other than BergdoIl who knew
where the pot of gold was, there was.
OF course, no need of allowing him
TO show the way to the place. III
mother Bergdoll knows or knew
where 1t was, why could she not get
1t before her sons escape as well as
he? why. therefore. is she to be COM
PEELED to find IL now?
But perhaps he told her. or left a
message for her when he passed
through" his home. or perhaps she
does know now where IL Is; perhaps
he has sent a special messenger I'd
her. Perhaps one of those men ac-
claiming himself innocent of any COM
plicity in his escape knows where IL
ls.
But to tell the truth We are not
especially interested In the pot of gold.

PUBLIC WHIPPING

Not far from Epping Forest, Eng
land, stands an old whipping post
and stocks. They are carefully kept,
and every passerby from a distant
land is shown the ancient relics of
the days when crime was punished
through their agency.
Recently. in Baltimore, u. sc. a. a
man was whipped He had been
sentenced some time ago, after con-
viction of wife beating, and has
now received five singing blows
from a at-o'-nine-tails, administered
at the hands of the Sheriff who re-
GREETED that he had been unable to
give as thorough a whipping as the
wife heater deserved. He remarked:
II would recommend a public whip
ping of wife heaters where citizens
of the city could witness the beating.
The City hall plaza would make an
ideal place for carrying out such a
project The sentence was i'm
posed by the judge of municipal
court.
Somewhere in our law there may
be found justification for such a sem
tence. We know of none. But we
do know of the feeling which made
hanging a thing to be kept from the
view of the public and we know that
electrocutions are not for ell to see.
In the calm of reflection probably
most decent men hate the wife
beaten almost more than the MUIR
derer. The involuISary expression
that comes to a mans lips after
reading of this humiliation and
punishment of the wife-beater, was
Good enough for him."
Yet the provisions of the law are
the better. 1t may do no one any
good to witness such a sight. If a
man Is angry and brutal enough to
beat his wife, he will do so no mat
ter if he has just seen such a spec
tacle-he is brutal enough to do any
thing no matter what his frame OF
mind has been his previously. Nc
punishment seems fit for one guilty
of wife-beating.
If a man is contemplating killing
| a man---if a man murders another
nc. hing of the nature of public
| witnessing of a hanging will deter
him-for no killing is a murder I'M
less there is generalization and pre-
meditation. in such case. would moi
be the generalization affected by
sights he had recently seen.
There is no excuse for making
brutality public for the sake of any
good it might do. 1t does no good.
It only adds to the general brutality
| of the world.
