The pupil was right. A high
school pupil in a western town wrote
the following letter to the local
newspaper: "a truck laden with
boxes was being driven along the
street when one box slipped off,
scattering fragments Of glass. In
stead of passing on and leaving the
glass for someone else to sweep
aside, the driver obtained broom
from neighboring drug store and
swept all the pieces into the gutter.
| think, this man showed good citi-
zenship."

In the death of A. H. Veile in
Duluth Sunday, the newspaper men
of the north country lost very
dear friend. In the early days it
was the custom for the railroads to
issue transportation to newspapers
for advertising and while Mr.. Veile
sometimes gruffly met the demands
for trips for pa and ma and the kid
dies, he always considered the fav-
ors well bestowed. Not alone news
paper men but others found in Mr..
Veile a. friend in times of need.

One the best testimonials to
the value of Boy Scouting is the
recent report of a survey obtained
in eastern cities of criminal condi-
tions. 1t showed that of all juvenile
criminals, fraction f, a per cent
were members of the Scout order.
That fact in itself proves conclus-
lively that the Scout movement has
fulfilled its mission. 1t has reduced
crime probably to a great extent in
the eastern states. Scoutcraft is
modelling better manhood. The
movement has answered the boys
work question, and with increased
cooperation of parents, Scoutcraft
will sweep the nation. Every boy
who is eligible should be a Scout.
BY becoming member of the or
der he is helping the next fellow,
for boyhood sets an example for
boyhood, and increase in numbers is
based upon precedent. One lad in
a community, in becoming mem
Der of the order, can bring with him
all of his neighborhood pals.

The pool-room politician has now
decided that all congressman and
presidents and all other officers
elected to any position whatever are
morally rotten because one or two
rather shady transactions have been
unearthed., To measure others with
your own yardstick does not always
mean something. The pot calling
the kettle black does not whiten
either.

We do not agree with Stillwell
Bingham of the Herald who edit
orally states in Tuesdays paper
that the climatic changes" in this
section are only imaginary. When
we first hit the range, the there
mometer reached down as low as 65
below zero, something It never does
now In the early history of st.
Louis County, we also note that a
party travelling over the Vermilion
Trail broke ice at Embarrass on

but we doubt it. Imagination must
'have been keenly developed in good
