All rights of republication of spW eial dispatches herein ere also reserved. Boy Scout Week
Citizens of Richmond are sufficiently well ac
quainted with the purposes of the Boy Scouts to obviate a long discussion of the merits of the
organization. Members of the Richmond troops
were called on repeatedly during the war to as
sist in the execution of patriotic missions, which
they performed in a manner commendable to themselves and contributory to the high duty of
helping win the war.
Not all the boys of Richmond are identified with the movement. It is estimated that of the J 10,000,000 boys in the United States between the sages of 12 and 21 only 875,000 are enrolled as imembers of the Boy Scouts of America. It is
safe to conclude that the same proportion of non
.members exists in Richmond. Boy Scout week.
June 8 to 14, is dedicated to the task of enlisting i millions of lads in the organization and of impressing the American people with the value of
the movement. Boy Scouts receive a valuable training In phy
sical development and in the truths of good citizenship and loyalty. Their leaders are men of
worth and tested judgment in the community, men who have devoted part of their time to the
indoctrination of the youth with the best principles of Americanism. Their devotion to the boys and to the Boy Scout movement is as commendable as their work is fruitful of good results. It may be measured in a higher type of citizenship that will follow their instructions. Parents may entrust their growing boys to the leadership of these men without hesitation, and permit their entrance into the Boy Scout organization. The movement proved its right to exist during the stress of the war. Its development in a new era of peace should be commensurate with its noble ideals and exalted mission. Re-establishing Himself Not long ago Monk Eastman was a "bad man" of New York's East Side, principal in a hundred gun fights, repeater at the polls, ward heeler, and convict. Today he stands before the world a good citizen, his past forgiven and forgotten. Whence
this change ? Eastman valunteered. Soon he was recog
nized as a "good soldier" by his commanding of- J f icer. He was a member of the 106th Infantry of the 27th Division. "His record throughout the war has been exceptional, and his service has been honest and faithful," said Colonel Ward in asking for the restoration of Monk to citizenship. During the attack on Viarstaat Ridge, Eastman was wounded and sent to a clearing station. At the end of three days he heard that his regiment was going back into action. He stole away from the hospital, gathered an equipment from a salvage dump, rejoined his company and helped take the Hindenburg line. Stealing out into No Man's Land to put a machine gun nest out of commission, Eastman crawled so near the position that the Germans could not depress the gun to hit him. A hand grenade wiped out the nest.
convention and welcome it." It seems unfair to
punish a city because its chief executive is liable to censure, but in the nature of the case Chicago could not expect that her decision to elect the
present mayor would not make her responsible before the world, in a measure at least, for the utterances and actions of the man before and
during the war. j
The causes for the decision of the World War veterans existed before Chicago re-elected him not long ago, so that his elevation to office, elim
inating the political blunders that were made by !
his opponents during the campaign, might be accepted as an endorsement of his utterances by the community. It seems unfair to stigmatize Chicago because of its mayor, for this great city sent its quota of men into the service and did gallant work in the other tasks essential to winning the war. The action of the World War veterans shows plainly that the American people no longer will let go unchallenged affronts to its dignity and to the causes to which it has pledged its men and money. Therein lies the real meaning of the reproach. It proves that a new conception of the importance of our national principles has taken hold of the American people and that they intend to make individuals and communities appreciate their worth.
THE Q E ORGE MATTHEW ADAM8 DAILY TALK EXPECT One of the most Inspiring words In the English language Is EXPECT. It means that you BELIEVE that the things you want are going to be given you and that what you look forward to is going to come to pass. ; Of course, everything Is not going to come out the way you expect It Is but the very fact that you look forward to this Hope is, In Itself, part accomplishment. Very few worth while affairs come to pass without EXPECTING them. And if we don't have this element of Hope and Expectation, our every-day lives would be poor and disappointing, indeed. I write this little talk because I EXPECT people to read it and, If they do, and it helps them, then I am made happy. You who read this are workers in scores of different lines. Everything that you do is done with the Expectation of something in return it may be Moneys it may be Position it may be Knowledge, it may be just pure Pleasure and Happiness but it is what you expect that counts. Always EXPECT. Expect a great deal more than you feel you are going to get then you will not be disappointed with what you actually do get ' To EXPECT is to LIVE. To see Beyond is to GET Beyond.

Regardless whether their conclusions are justified it is certain that for all practical purposes the world has grown immeasurably smaller in the last few decades and the principal agent in bringing distant places close to each other has been and is the short line seen in the columns of The Palladium, "By The Associated Press." These words are the embodiment in print of one of the greatest organizations of today, a mutual co-operative enterprise known as The Associated Press, its membership more than eleven hundred strong covering the entire United States and its correspondents and affiliated agencies spread over the habitable globe. "By The Associated Press," has come to be regarded as the hall mark of truth, the sign manual of verity. The dispatch beneath it may bear a Paris or a London date ; may read from Peking or Bombay, from New York or Hooppole, Ind., but with those words above it its truth is certain. The ordinary methods of transmission, the
telegraph and the telephone ordinary but none the less wonderful in most cases have brought the news to the columns of The Palladium. Minutes have sufficed to carry the intelligence where

A man wearing a very big hat and walking with a . great deal of swagger, entered a barbershop which had but one empty chair. Hanging his bat on a peg, an dthen drawing a revolver, he turned to the idle man and said: ... "I want a shave just a common shave. I want no talk. Don't ask me if I want a hair cut or a shampoo. Don't speak of the weather or politics. If you speak to me, I'll shoot." He took the chair, held the revolver across his legs and was shaved with promptness and dispatch. When he got up he returned the shooter to his hip pocket, put on his hat, and after a broad chuckle he said to the cashier:

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, May 15 An appeal for support of the peace treaty which is declared to be in accord with President Wilson's fourteen points and to solve "intelligently and humanely"
many world problems, was Issued to
day by the Social Democraitc League of America. The league, which is des-
cribed as the "socialist organization
which supported the war" is headed
by Allan L. Benson, socialist candidate for president in 1916, John Spar

Charles Edward Russell, William English Walling and J. G. Phelps Stokes. The appeal declares that the peace conference in a few months 'has carried us further along the road to international democracy than we have travelled in a trousand years" and calls on all American socialists and democrats to support the peace treaty and the league of nations. After stating that some urgent problems are unsolved by the peace treaty the appeal continues: "We have always taught that neither world peace nor industrial democracy can be secured except in pro-

Lumber selling now for $50 a thousand feet, which compared to prices even of a few years ago, means that it is worth nearly its weight in gold, was a drug on the market with the early Richmond settlers. The only way they could get rid of it fast enough to plant crops, was to burn It When a man settled on a quarter section a hundred years ago, he found it covered with a thick growth of primeval timber, better than any now standing In the county. The problem of existence depended on getting a clear space in the midst of this, In which he could plant crops. The sturdy settler cut down all underbrush and all trees up to 15 or 18 Inches in diameter. The larger trees were either girdled or killed by the piling up around them of the underbrush, to which a fire was set A "good burn," a great flaming fire of well-dried timber, was especially desired, for the land which was thus burnt yielded good crops. Lumber which would now be worth millions of dollars went up in smoke. "Log-rollings," at which all the neighborhood gathered to roll great logs to one central bonfire, by the use of handspikes and teams with a log
caain, were popular functions. A common way of killing the big trees wa to pile brush around them and set It on fire. This killed them and partially cleared the land, but they began to fall about the second year, th$ beech and maples first and "the oak, poplar and walnut later. This latter

walnut which would be now simply priceless, lies yet in the shape of useless rails on many an Indiana farm. Sometimes these giants were left to lie where they fell, and smaller trees were piled across them, which were set on fire. This was called niggerlng, and the process of renewing the fuel was termed "righting up my niggers." This probably originated with the settlers In South Carolina, where slavery was common.

The' Republican Legislative Program
From the New York Times. THE Democratic party, after prolonged dalliance with unsound money theories, astonished the country by establishing the Federal Reserve system after Ihe Republicans had failed in that attempt. Now the Republicans have a praiseworthy ambition to match that achievement by adopting a budget system, a thing that has been talked about and vainly urged upon Congress for fifty years. The next speaker of the house. Representative Gillett, declared over a month ago in favor of a budget system, and now Senator Penrose, the next chairman of the senate finance committee, in setting forth his program, puts the budget first. Mr. Penrose will introduce a budget bill as soon as congress convenes. Accompanying this project are plans for the reduction of taxation, which apparently must wait until the budget system Is adopted. At present estimates are thrown Into congress by department heads, which really means by bureau chiefs, and considered without any attempt at coordination of Income and outgo, or even conference between the appropriations and ways and' means committees. There is no established relation between appropriations and expenditure. Mr. Penrose's plan would not only bring the two committees into relation, but ' would yoke them up with all the administrative departments. The need for such a measure haa long existed, but Is now made Imperative by what Mrl Penrose calls "the habit of extravagance and wasteful expenditures developed by the war." So, too, Mr. Gillett has seen for years-- and as minority leader of the appropriations committee under Democratic rule
and chairman of It under Republican rule he has had ample opportunity to see the evils of the present system; and he declares that "the extraordinary monetary
demands during the war, followed by lack of proper con
trol and supervision of expenditure, have strongly emphasized a pressing need for reforms in that direction." Thus the two leaders are one, a most encouraging sign. Mr. Penrose, though resting his whole program on the budget idea, goes further. He is for "repealing" the luxury taxes. He probably means revision Instead of repeaL There are some luxuries, that ought to be taxed, but this formless measure In which medicines. Burgeons' instruments, and heaven knows what other things, absolutely necessary to life and comfort are taxed under the name of "luxuries" cannot be revised too qulcklynor pruned loo rigidly. He would simplify the tax laws, a praiseworthy purpose the execution of which depends on the budget. He would reduce the taxation of individuals. If that means that the surtaxes on salaried men and some of the other imposts on men who work for a living, as well as the disj tortlon of the meaning of the words "war profits," are to have the attention of congress, the whole nation will applaud Senator Penrose. He also advocates the repeal of price-fixing laws, and with the end of the war the time has come for that, although the rule of prudence must be observed. He would investigate war expenditures, but he is statesman enough to add: "I do not believe these investigations should be carried on in any partisan spirit, and full allowance should be made for the peculiar conditions prevailing in the crisis of the great war."

Do You Sell Service, Mr. Salesman? The old style drummer used to tell some funny stories, get an order and let it go at that. The modern salesman sells service as well as goods. He brings the dealers new suggestions instead of antiquated jokes. The best service he can give a dealer is the assurance that his firm is advertising or planning to advertise its products in the newspapers of the dealer's city. That means action at the dealer's counter, more sales all around and a storekeeper that calls the salesman "Santa Claus."
