Boy Scouts' Organization
Continued from tlrst paw
e1 from the orgsnlrallon. Aa an er
ganlaation the acout movement Is
neither military In thought, form nor
spirit, allhnught it do s instil in boys
the military virtues, such aa honor, loy
alty, obedient and patriotism. The
term Is sometlmea confound and mis.
taken for the American Hoy Scouts
which la strictly military In Us opera
tions, but the Hoy Scouts of America
la non-military, ami no comparison
should be made between the two or
genitatione. Following is the bssia of the scout
law aa described In the constitution
and some of the splendid principles
taught the young men: "A snout's
honor ia to be trusted. If he violates
his honor by telling a lie, or by cheat
ing or by not doing exactly a given
task, when he is trusted on his onor
he may 1 directed to hand over his
scout tadge. He Is loysl to whom loy
alty la due: hla acout leader, hla home
and parent and his country. Helpful,
ness, friendliness, courtesv, kindness,
otedlenoe, cheerfulness, thrift, cour
sge, cleanliness and reverence are
some of the grand things embodied in
the acout law.
The movement la a credible one
and Mr. Wire should be congratulated
upon hia public spirit of having taken
the initiative In this msttrr as well as
he and the toys should tie encouraged
and assisted in making the organization
a strong and permanent one, for upon
the propvr discipline of the younger
race depends the stability of our future
generations.

through a petition by the people, as
specified by the county bond hill of the
Grange. It la certain the State Grange
will repeat taut year's resolution againat
the atate aid plan. In defense of hia
prison tatlca, Governor West refered to
a "loafing penitentiary superinten
dent," and said be owed the atata an
aoology for not wielding the official
ax at the penitentiary sooner.
"That clean-up ia only a alight shook
compared to the earthquake to follow,"
he declared. He reiterated previous
declarations that he never would ba a
candidate tor publlo oflice again.
