HELP THE BOY SCOUTS. In the promotion of sound, sturdy Americanism, health, resourcefulness and alertness in the woods and fields and on the city streets the Boy Scouts of America have become one of the country's regularly established and worthy institutions.

fails to go deeply into the system by which representative government has been overthrown by the Wilsoniau junkers, with the result that four-fifths of the people or the old slave states, including many more white men than black, and three-fourths of (he men conscripted to fight in. a war to save the world for democracy, have been denied the most fundamental rights of free citizen ship. CACOETHES SCRIBENDI. As the world languishes in war while the peace commission deliberates, we rind President Wilson occupying his idle hours, writ ing more books. His latest, "Intel national Ideals.' deals with experiences on his first tr'p to Europe. Pome people are said to hold to the view that Mr. Wilson would better devote his talents and time to writing a peace treaty in. Mead of a book for the enhancement of his own private fortune

A WELCOME MEMORY OF ROOSEVELT. If Theodore Roosevelt had no other distinction, the continuous peace that has followed in the coal regions o fthe United States since the seriJu la!r troubles in 190- would be sufficient to make one man noteworthy The great anthracite strike is still remembered, but what is not so generally known is the unrest, frequently expressing itself in smaller strikes, and the individual discontent of m'tie workers, that preceded the situation of 1 902 and has since been practically eliminated by the permanent board of conciliation for "which President Roosevelt was responsible. His action at the time not only met the emergency, but provided a way, which the experience of sixteen years has justified, to prevent future trouble. The board of conciliation represents both owners and workers, and its latest report record:? a total of nearly six hundred cases satisfactorily' settled. Christian Science Monthly.

WHO'S TO BLAME? We often hear managers blamed if anything unworthy appears in their shows. But they are not to blame it is the people. It is they who are demanding the dirt. The right way to correct these abuses is to reform the people aftd let the managers alone. They will be all right if the people are- If religion and education took a brave stand upon this subject all would go well. But they seem indifferent. Bring on a leg show, and touch it up with a little vile innuendo or near profanity, and ten to one the decent, educated and regilious people are there to see it. This is because they have not been trained properly. They do not live in a public sentiment, where the belief is entertained that a man or woman cannot handle pitch without being defiled- We are not squeamish about this thing. We want only to Represent the public good, which we are doing by telling the people that if there are any dubious shows go

of this live organization, Buffalo is required to get j ing on and the public taste is being vitiated by impure

20,000, every man or woman a real, live booster for Young America. The week's campaign opened yesterday, and the effort wil be made by the committee in charge here to crowd Buffalo's drive into three strenuous, efficient days. There should be no difficulty in accomplishing this. If your boys are worth making into healthy, active Americans of the kind who so ably represented their country in France recently, you will aid the Boy Scouts of America in producing more of their kind through their safe and sane method.

THE WILSON LABEL. "There is no denying the evidence that I- W. V. propaganda and I. W. W. plans for further activities in the near future are still going on in the United States, aparently but little hindered by anything thus far done by governmental agencies to discourage them." says the Christian Science Monitor. And. the Moritor speaks the truth. The Bolshevists print their pamphlets with excerpts from President Wilson's speeches on the front covers, and the governmental agencies ddre not hold up the pamphlets.

displays and unworthy language, then the people are to blame: and the only place to start a reform is back there in the churche?, the schools, refined society, pure homes, the church federation and the clubs of the city.

BUYING WAR DECORATIONS. Already the traffic in .war decorations has begun, and there are plenty of people who crnicize severely those who buy and those who sellAs a matter of fact there is nothing wicked in buying or selling the decoration for v3lor. It is a matter concerning only the seller and the purchaser. ' Only too otcn the sale is forced by a need for money which the owner of the badge of honor is too proud to reveal. There arc also many plain, prosaic souls who would rather have & dollar in real money than the cro'x de guerre. This is especially true of the lonely youth, indifferent because he has no kin to care whether he be decorated or not. Nobody should buy a soldier's decoration, however, without first satisfying himself that the sale is legitimate, and made for a good reason. A little kindly questioning may reveal a condition which can be helped without the soldier's parting with his badge of honor. Also the purpose of the purchase should be a fair

Ii is perfectly legitimate for a collector to add

such a worth while trophy to his treasures if he so desires. Of course, the inexcusable thing is to wear a decoration to which one is not entitled. Words fail to express the dishonesty and meanness of such a proceeding. But where the sale is honest and the object of a purchase clean, no stigma should attach to tho transaction.

CREDIT OR THE Y. M. C. A.

After the many attempts to discredit the work ot ! onc

the Y. M. C. A. among the A. E. F.. it is pleasing to learn that carefully conducted investigations are proving much of this criticism unwarranted and due to misunderstandings. The "Y" as a whole seems to have performed a great and unselfish service, and many of the workers showed marked heroism. The principal trouble, as indicated by the government inquiry, arose from the taking over of the canteen work by the Y." This was done at the request of the government, but it eliminated the possibility of free distribution of supplies. Since the "Y," like other organizations, received much money as a free gift, it was not easy for the boys or their people at home to understand why this association, like some others, did not give things away without charge. But as a matter of fact, i would have taken ten times as much money as was donated to enable the "Y" to put the canteen work on ft free basis. There is a better understanding of this condition as time goes on; and as it is found that most cases of an

noyance or disapponitment were individual, and due tr j PAT ON FREE TRADE, mis understanding, the personnel of the workers and the The intimations of the Democrats t h At they will work which they really did will be riven the r rod it whirl, i ,,!.:. -t;- to.-sw iuHiatinn y,a ,

MUST WATCH OUR STEP. Glad to se the professors studying up on what effect the returning soldier will have on our social life. Going to have a heap of effect. They've learned a lot and. among other things, will not be as easily fooled with political promises and ideal iitic theories as they used to be. Yesterday they'd try anything once. Today they'll have to be shown. It behooves us to mend our ways and live up to our returned heroes or we shall get jolted, sure's we're born.

"OK, CONSISTENCY. 1 THOXT ART A JEWEL" To the Editor: On the grounds that liquor is '"Damnable Stuff." or as some of the other reformers call it "Liquid Hell Fire," and that it is responsible for nearly all of our crime and that it steals away our brains, state after state has adopted prohibition and forty odd states have ratified an amendment in favor of prohibition. And hundreds of millions of private properties will be destroyed without compensation and hundreds of millions of revenues will be sacrificed and all for the. purpose of preventing men "and women from using whiskey, wine and beer. In various states automobiles, suit cases, berths on Pullman cars and occasionally residencts are being searched for liquor that it n:ay hi confiscated and the holders fined and imprisoned. Our great commonwealths and our national government are cruadins along the lines of Carrie Nation, and I hey are doing it on so big a scale that C ri:Nation has been forgotten. Ho mum ara our great lawmakers, on prohibiting the use of liquor by all people save th lawmakers that Bills of Riclus ami Declarations of Independence, have been literally thrown into discard. Down in .Tennessee which is being made a veritable desert of thirst Uncle Sam's sleuths have been very active of late and thousands of quarts, and pints and half-pints have been seized and the owners probably have been fined and sent to the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. And what did Uncle Sam do with this vast amount of liquor this "Damnable Stuff' that no man should be permitted to use? Wes it destroyed as it should have been? On the contrary, it was shipped up to Louisville and advertised and sold at public auction at the

Custom House. Men and women were invited to come and buy this liquor, and its virtues were extolled by the good natured auctioneer to such an extent that it realized extraordinary prices. The only excuse for the confiscation of all of this liquor, including the automobiles in which it was carried, is the contention that it should not be used by human beings, and yet the United States government, after taking th property from the men who owned it. sells it to the people of Louisville and puts the money received into the publfr treasury. The contention of the prohibitionists, is that liq,uor belongs in the category of drugs such as cocaine, morphine a.n( the like and what would be thought of Uncle Sam if he should confiscate i shipment of such drugs and then bring them to Louisville and sell them at public auction to all who cared to purchase. I present this particular instance U

sistencies that makes national and state-wide prohibition look more like a farce than a serious effort to bring about a reform. , T. M. GILMORE. President National Modal License Laguf.

SOMETHING FOR CONGRESS TO DO. The New York World is screaming like a fish-wife, for the unseating of Senator Newberry of Michigan on the ground of election irregularities, but it is very smug over the swag grabbed by its fellow Democratic junkers

south of the Ohio, where every certificate of election is !

tainted with force, fraud and legal trickery, and where the World has always opposed federal supervision with a view to securing honesty of elections. In other words, the World is fearfully exercised over imaginary Repub-' lican crookedness in Michigan, but is the sponsor and defender of election rottenness in states where it means Democratic votes in Congress and the electoral college. When congress begins to sink the probe into election methods it will be recreant to its duty and will grossly betray the oath of office which binds every member if it -1AL . !.'!: U1--!- '!Mmm-mmb
