A SCOUT is BRAVE.

He has the courage to face danger
In spite cf fear, and to stand up for
the right against the coaxings of
friends or tie jeers or threats of
enemies, and defeat does not down
him, and somebody has expressed
pretty much the same idea In the fol
lowing poem.
The test OF a man Is the fight M makes.
The grit that he daily shows;
The way he stands on his feet and .akes
Fate's numerous bumps and blows;
coward can smile when there's naught
to fear,
When nothing his progress bars.
But II takes a man TO stand up and cheer
While some other fellow stars
1t isn't the Victory, after all.
But the fight that a brother makes:
The man who. driven against the wall,
Still stands up erect and takes
The blows OF fate with his head held high,
Bleeding, and bruised, and pale,
Is the man who'll win in the by and by,
For he isn't afraid to fail.
It's the bumps you get. and the jots you
get,
And the shocks that your courage stands.
The hours of sorrow and vain regret,
The prize that escapes your hands.
That test your mettle and prove your
worth;
II isn't the blows you deal.
But the blows you take on the good old
earth
That shows II your stun Is real.
From the Three Partners.

character of service to which the city Ia
entitled under the dual subway con-
tracts.
This Is very enlightening, What we
straphangers desire to know is:
IF the city has a lien upon the rail-
roads property for the duo performance
of the contract, and
'1f the city holds these bonds for q
Ike purpose. and
1T Mayor IIylans administration Is
protecting the people and seeing that
they get the character Of service TO which
they are entitled?
why has not the Mayor instructed
the Corporation Counsel to foreciose the
lien on the mortgages or exact the PEN
atty OF these bonds?
"And during the years that Hylan has
been talking of the five cent fare just
what particular interest or pressure has
been brought to bear to prevent him
from enforcing these railroads to carry
out their contracts?
was his municipal ownership talk
just dodge to get votes or doesn't this
august parsonage remember what he
said four years age?
IF the railroads have failed to live
up to their agreements it was the duty
of the Mayor and his Corporation Coun-
sci Immediately to institute proceedings
to have the railroads taken over by the
city government.
All Talk and No Work.
THE fact of the matter is. however
that this administration does not give a
rap about Ave cent fares or the interests
of the people. The idea Is to keep on
chattering about five cent fares no mat
ter what questions are asked about 1t.
eff he had been sincerely interested in
the peoples fight, Hylan would long ago
have started action against the railroads
to compel them to treat people little
differently than cattle.
"And therefore we are obliged again
to Mr.. Craig for once more pointing out
the pitiful Incompetence of our Mayor
"As a matter of fact. no more scath-
ing rebuke to the insincerity of Mr..
Hylan has been uttered during this cam
paign than this traction argument OF
Mr. Craig's. Is Mr.. Craig aware that he
Is laying at Hylan's door charge that
Hizzoner dare not meet?
IF the city has a lien upon the sub
way lines why has not Mr.. Hylan seen
to it that we straphangers of New York
have had fair play?
"But no. no. no. Hylan has treated
the straphangers like no treated the chill
dren. He has treated the children just
like he treated the taxpayers and the
rentpayers.
"Just what have we received for all
the taxes we have paid into Hylan's ad-
ministration? Just what has this man
Hylan done for the people, anyway? Mr.
Craig has been kind enough to show us
what he didn't do with the traction
companies"
