TROOP II.

Troop II met at their hall Friday
night at 1880 with the other two
troops and few visitors present We
would have had more but on account
of the two drowning Thursday we
did not have as many as we had ex-
pected.
The meeting began with splen-
did talk on Boy Scout movements
by Mr.. Liggins, visitor here from
Milwaukee, Wis. Mr.. Liggins is a
Scout leader in Milwaukee, there be-
ing two thousand Scouts there. We
all enjoyed Mr.. Liggins talk very
much and he promised to make us a
longer talk if we would meet again
Monday night at 1880.
Our boxing bouts began a little
after 8 O'Clock. The first bout was
three-round bout between Edwin
Thayer from Troop and Coney Oil
yer from Troop II. The result was
a draw.
The second bout was a three
round bout between Albert Thayer
from Troop ii and William Heys
from Troop II. The result was a
draw.
The third one was to be between
Fred Statham of Troop II and Sam
Conner from Troop |, but on account
of Sam not being there Fred Stat
ham boxed with Walter Stapleton.
The result was draw.
The fourth bout was between Rob-

Up the mountain they climbed,
and when they got to the top they
found the other side so steep it
seemed to drop down into nothing.
Nancy peeped over. Far, far be-
low was the earth.
'Nick," she said. 1'll bet you

HARDING VS.. HARDING ON Pc.
LITICAL ATTACKS.

THAT the Daugherty scandal has
ruffled the usually calm temper of
President Harding and that he is
smarting under the criticism directed
at the attorney general and other
members of his cabinet, is more or
less evident when he characterizes
the critics, according to the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger, as political
blackguards" and "rascals."
So far as these criticisms of At
tOrney General Daugherty apply to
the press, President Harding is
scarcely fair to the great profusion
of journalism of which he is a mem
Der, nor entirely fair to his own par
ty press, for Attorney General
Daugherty's critics include such lead
ing Republican newspapers as the
New York Herald, New York Tri-
bune, New York Globe, Chicago Tri-
bune, Philadelphia North American
and many of lesser prominence.
So far as they apply to members
Of congress and to individual mem
bers of his own party, they include
Representative Woodruff, of Mich
igan, and Representative Johnson, of
South Dakota, both of whom rem
dered distinguished service in the late
war and who appear to be animated
only by the high motive of seeing war
profiteers who defrauded the govern
ment adequately punished.
President Harding's denunciation
OF political blackguards" and his ap
peal to the press to put on the
brakes"-in other words, to suppress
attacks upon public mems scarcely
consistent with his own course as
editor and owner of the Marion Star.
FOR instance, Senator Hiram John
son, of California, is pretty well
thought of by large number of Re-
publicans in Acknowledgement to
send him to represent that state in
the United States senate. Yet in an
editorial in the Marion Star, Sept.
49, 1912, appears the following esti-
mate of Hiram Johnson:
He (Johnson) appears at close
view to be both faker and a black
guard"
Enough people thought well
enough of the late Theodore Roose-
welt to make him president of the
united States and enough people still
think well enough of his memory to
bulld him great memorial. vet on
May l8, 1912, we find the following
IN the column of the Marion Star.
The Theodore Roosevelt. who
wept sincerely as he took the scenter
from the hand of martyred McKin-
iey' was not the Theodore Roosevelt
VINO dragooned the cabinet, threaten
ca the courts, and, through the in
formation gained by paid spies black
mailed congress into following his
plan"
And on Sept. %, 1912, we find
TINS estimate of the colonel in the
Marion Star edited by Warren Hard
ing:
we are opposed to T. R.
Theodore RoosevelD because we be-
heve him to be unsuited in character
and temperament to be executive
leader; because he is an unsafe and
dangerous leader, because he is law
less, insincere, selfish and unscrup-
alous;. because his first administra-
tlon was unsuccessful in maintain
ing the prosperity he inherited; be-
cause he is bully by nature and a
lover OF war, and is, therefore, not
to be trusted with control of the ar
my and navy and our relations with
our neighbors.'

WOMEN FILL NEED
IN WELFARE WORK
Rest Ward at 18th and |
Streets Haven for A.
flicted Workers.

The Woman's Welfare Association,
at 11th and l. streets northwest, is
fulfilling what Is considered a great
need in the community in maintain
ing a rest or recuperative ward for
working women and girls. The pur-
pose of the association is not to du-
plicate the work of the hospitals. but
rather to supplement their usefulness
by accepting women who are con-
valescing from an acute illness or
surgical operation. or who are other
wise in need of rest.
A majority of the occupants of the
ward are enlisted from the ranks Of
those who are away from home and
whose only alternative is the room
of the lodging house. The nominal
sum of $40 week assures not only
a comfortable bed in a cheerful ward.
but also a nutritious and appropriate
diet. So great has been the demand
for the facilities of the rest ward
installed making a total of fourteen.
There is usually a waiting list, and
any working woman or girl is well
coined to enjoy the watchful caBe
during a period of physical or nervous
impairment.
The w oman welfare ASSoCldtion
is also conducting clinics every after
noon. in which various medical and
surgical specialties are represented.
The hay fever clinic. the nose and
throat clinic. the medical and gym
theological clinics form part of the
list The association Is thereby en-
deavoring to conserve the health of
the working women and girls OF the
District as an effective method for
safeguarding the welfare of the race:
Many of the prominent women of
the capital are on the board of man
ayers of the association. of which
Mrs. Wesley NJ. Stoner is president.
