It make one wonder whether our
system of government is right; it
causes a blush of shame to surmount
the cheek of every truly patriotic
citizen, i '" . .. '.'"' -
But thank goodness adjournment
has been taken. It will b-: two years
before the state is again inflicted with
the scourge and during that time eacn
citizen should do all possible to break
down the effect of the legislature Just
adjourned, for it is very damaging to

It was left for Wallowa county's
high school to bring a climax' in the
legislature that entf the word -.oter
the entire state proclaiming the Inef
ficiency of a number of legislators. It
placed Speaker Rusk in a, position that
showed hie band and we Relieve that
even citizens of his own' county falter
in their loyalty to him in the future,
One element of his supporters wlll.be
disappointed in him because he was
opposed to them and the other element
will bq more or less disgusted because
be failed to achieve success even
though he favored their views.
A BAD ENDING
The Observer has from time to
time ' rather commended this session
of the legislature because it refused
to do much, but at the same tim;- we
recognized the latter part of the session-
as the exceedingly dangerous
part It proved as we had feared, for
the closing hours of this session wfr
merited with turbulent action, fearful
extravagance and general uhstates

THE B0 SCOUTS
The Boy Scout movement ' which
was recently striKingiy m evidence
through the assemblage of a national
convention, is a significant factor .in
the national life. It is not nee esarlly
cupled, but there remains a large
field of opportunity for further ren
deavor, and it Is this field that the
Boy Scouts are now occupying. The
presld lit of the United Slates has at
tested his keen interest In this enter
prise, accepting the position of hon
orary president, and members of the
council. The movem:tat is fostered by
the men who have made a close study
of Juvenile questions,, and who firmly
believe that by affording the bpys an
outlet, for their ' energies In mtnla-
iurv field maneuvers and camping ex
peditions and drills they are benefit
ting the rlsjng generation through the
preservation of health and the forma
tion "of character. tJnder competes
direction this work can he mad? of
invaluable service In evolving a gener
ation of self-reliant, sturdy, patriotic
young men. Numbering now : more
than ; 300,000 , members, and rapidly
growing, it has : gained , proportions
that warrant the most sympathetic
consideration as a national influence

a -token of militarism, although the
boys are being drilled in military
movements. It is no more calculated
to make the American pec-ple a na
tion of soldiers than ere tfo-r cadet
corps of the various schools scatter
ed throughout the country. The mili
tary form of organization has beesn
adopted for two purposes.to Interest
the boys in something different from
their ordinary lines of .activity and
to gilt them out of doors for a series
of exercises that will be beieflcial
physlclally as well as morally. u'
In Engfilftnd theBoy Scout work
was started in direct consequence of
the disclosures of the Boer War. The
lamentabl j showing of , the British

ple to realize that the young men of
the country were not well developed
or well discipline. To arouse their
patriotism, as well as to evolve them
Into sound, resourceful men, General
Baden-Powell, Inaugurated this move
ment, which has vitalized thj British
youth and is today rated as one of th;
most important tendencies of the time
both educationally and morally, .
The boy problem is a serious one,
and it can be solved only, through the
most careful study and the wisest
measure s. In the .present conditions of
life boys are surrounded by clrcum
stnnces that tend to test them.. They
are distracted by . amusements
thrown Into the most varied associa

with unwholesome factors. The
schools are doing excellent work in
keeping their minds and bodies oc-
