TO OPPOSE PRIMARY
 AT DEM. CONVENTION
Haloran Faction Reported to Be
 Ready for Fight
TOO EXPENSIVE, THEY SAY
Would Retain Convention For Rea- sons Of Economy and Because of Enthusiasm For Candidates Created At Sessions.

That the Halloran faction of the democratids city convention, which is believed to be the group in control, does not intend to allow the conven- ton to pass without making it's in- fiuence felt is indicated today in re- ports that it will present a stiff front of opposition to any movement to supplant the present convention sys tenn by direct primaries. Action on this change is scheduled for next Monday evening at democratic head quarters.
 Report Is Ready.
 The matter will come before the convention in the form of a report from a special committee suggesting rules to govern democratic primaries should the change be approved This committee was sent out last March with instructions to prepare a report for presentation this fall.

 Gathering Data.
 The opponents of the primary sys- tenn have been busy gathering data concerning primaries and are said to have amassed an abundance of am- intuition to fire in it's attack on the proposed change.
 Primary Idea Opposed.
 In the first place, those who oppose the change say, the primary is the rich mans system and the system for the moneyed party. They argue that it is equivalent in many cases, to two elections. The expense of primaries and the subsequent costs of election placed before a prospective candidate would be g phantom that might be responsible for keeping excellent nominees out of politics, they say.
 Point To c. o. P. Expenses.
 They point in particular to the re- cent primary of the republican party in which G. A. Quigley and o. F. Cur tis were the participants. Hundreds and hundreds of dollars were expend-

It will undoubtedly surprise many people to learn how the Boy Scout Movement has won to it's support the religious bodies in the United States. Practically all our great religious groups sat around the birthday table of the Boy Scouts of America on it's 18th Anniversary, Feb. 8th.
 The 18th Scout law reads: "A Scout is reverent. He is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties, and respects the convictions of others in matters of costume and religion" This law largely explains why men of all religious faiths can cooperate in the character-building and citizenship-training program of this organization.
 The movement is only twelve years old, and yet already has received the official endorsement of the leading religious organizations. More troops are organized in connection with churches than any other institution.
 Not all of us know that the Boy Scout Program includes what is call ed Merit Badge work, a series of def mite studies in seventy-one practical subjects, most of them of a vocational character and all of them educational. These studies include carpentry, art, agriculture, personal health, survey ing, civics, several handcrafts, dairy ing, safety-first, wireless and similar topics. Only first class Scouts can take up this Merit Badge work, and as they advance they become Life, Star and Eagle Scouts, the latter be- ing the highest attainable rank in Scouting, awarded to first class Scouts who have mastered to the satisfaction of the National Court of Honor, twen' ty-one of these subjects. :...
 In the twelve years that the, Seoul movement has been in America, the National Court of Honor has awarded 315, 1000 Merit Badges, and man! thousands of boys are diligently seek ing these little, but significant, round colored emblems, which you will se'

Interesting Facts About The Boy
 Scouts of America

upon the right sleeve of Scouts coat. Aver 400 men, experts in their different lines, gave volunteer service to the Boy Scouts of America in pre- pairing seventy-one illustrated pam phlets as text books upon these Merit Badge subjects. There are 4,20O Star, 4,300 Life and 2,C00 aEgle Scouts to- day.
 There is strong evidence that school authorities throughout the country are becoming convinced that the Boy Scout movement has a distinct place in the educational system of the coun- try. The educational values of the Boy Scout idea were not so clearly seen twelve years ago as they are to- day. The effect of the training on the school work of boys has called the at, tentio nof school men very definitely to what the Boy Scouts of America are doing. Because many boy pupils are scouts, the teachers have been able to evaculate the effect of Scout train ing upon classroom work. The result of the whole thing is that the schools ! and the Boy Scout movement are coming together for mutual coopera- 1 tion.
 The trend is toward cooperation and not assimilation. It does not appear to be the belief of school men that the movement can become part of the school work, but that it can sup plement school work most effectively and accordingly should receive the ut most assistance from school authori- ties, including active participation by teachers, principals, and superintend- ents in the activities of the move ment. r..

gineerS demand conditions m the properties they examine which pre- clude successful ventures for their clients. They require developments of ore in the mine and terms of purchase which bring the venture so far into the field of investment that they elim- mate the profit which goes with spec ulation. On the basis of assured and certain results, mining becomes an in vestment and cannot be bought except on the terms of an investment.
 A famous and wealthy mine oper- ator of Denver, speaking of a prom inent engineer of his city, said to me: q would not hire that man if he were the last engineer on earth! He would deny me the opportunity of making a hundred thousand dollars for fear l might lose thousand"
 Recently one of our eminent mining engineers has cleverly summarized the condition which should govern min ing investment in these words:
 "The conditions are reasonably promising, and careful investigations appear to warrant the speculation, be- cause the prospect of winning is pro- portioned to the risk. After all, that is the chief factor to be considered. Is the ante" too big for the game or is it not?"
 Mining operations of this kind are
