If the argument used by the Republican committee in its Campaign advertising is sound and if it convinces or. Taft will of course be re elected. A a remember the panic of 1893. Re a a member the panic of 1907. No panic a a under Taft. Better be Safe than a a sorry a so runs the legend. The re vation causal or otherwise Between presidents and panics or for that matter Between parties and panics is extremely vague. Your panic is a thorough mugwump very much of an Independent in politics quite non partisan. Panics arise from causes outside of politics having very Little to do with politics or with the policies of presidents and parties. The panic of 1893 was due to unsound conditions in private and in Public finance. Speculation had been too venturesome credit was overextended. To these causes was added a growing a Larm about the consequences of the Silver coinage act of 1890. The currency we As undergoing debasement conf Dence was shaken. But although it was passed during a Republican administration and by a Republican con quot Gress Many free Silver democrats gave their votes to the . The republicans have always insisted that Yie panic of 1893 was due to the Wilson Tariff of 1894. They Are using that air Ament now with a solemnity which would Lead one to conclude that they really believe there Are fools enough among the voters to make such silly tactics politically Worth while. Again the panic of 1907, often called the Roosevelt panic took its Rise in the unsoundness of banking conditions. It Vas a Bankers panic although political agitation against the corporations May have heightened its ill effects through loss of Confidence by investors and the Public generally. But the underlying causes were non political. In this Campaign the republicans will have it that if or. Wilson is elected and a Tariff Bill passed a pm Nie is inevitable. Tariff Bills do not cause panics. A downward revision of the present Tariff might make some of its highly prosperous beneficiaries very uncomfortable but it would almost inevitably improve the general conditions of business and enhance the Prosperity of the people because the duties now levied Are unjust Are burdensome Are a Drain upon the Peoples resources and an obstruction to the exchanges of Trade. The Republican argument puts gov. Wilson and the democrats in the position of really desiring and intending to destroy the country a business and bring on Trade stagnation. That is the same thing As saying that More than one half the people of the country Are Blind unreasoning fanatics. We have heard this argument for forty years until it is listened to now with contemptuous smiles. It used to be very easy to fool the people. Arbere they were once fooled they have become informed. They live Learned from High Republican sources the Tariff Board that the old pretence of the need of duties to protect american labor against the Competition of Europe a pauper labor is a ghastly lie. They know that when they buy a Tariff protected article Only a very Small part of the added Price goes into the Treasury the bulk of the exaction Tho democrats. The Republican party and the progressive party Are commit ted to Protection their attitude is practically that of the stand Patter. A vote for Wilson is the Only vote that will count for Tariff reduction. £1r. Roosevelt and his doctor col. Roosevelt is a hard Man to control. Everybody knows that yet he ought to have been taken under control immediately after the attack upon him monday night he ought to have been dissuaded or prevented from making his speech. Again in the Hospital in Chicago control and authority ought to have been asserted to prevent the admission of visitors to his bedside. Any person who has even a Small understanding of Tho right treatment of invalids and of persons suffering from hurts knows that All this is True. The risk col. Roosevelt took in talk iii to an audience for an four and a half with that Bullet in Liis breast was much too grave. The. Risk his physicians take in permitting visitors to see him and talk with him is so grave that it should not be taken at All. We have had like experience in the past when medical men of High standing have shown reluctance to oppose the will of distinguished patients we Hen they have permitted imprudence that should have been forbidden. This is evidently what has happened in the Case of col. Roosevelt. In extenuation it will be said of course that or. Roo Sevelt is self willed and is bound to have his own Way. But the surgeons say in their bulletins that the wound is not a Mere flesh wound it is a serious Bullet wound in the Chest. Manifestly that is a Case where the Iron will of the doctor should dominate and determine All conditions. It is always a weakness to yield to the entreaties of visitors or of patients when the doctors own judgment is that visits should be forbidden. That is the prudent Way the safest Way and in the Case of a patient so distinguished As or. Roosevelt the prudent Way and the Safe Way is the one to be taken. Italy. The conclusion of peace with Turkey leaves Italy in a position of marked advantage for the present and opens up the Prospect of a position of still greater importance in the future. The change is promptly recognized by the German foreign minister who regards the chances of localizing the War in the Balkans As distinctly improved by the Italo Turki Sli agreement. Versions of this agreement differ somewhat but according to a statement of Kiamil Pasha the turkish Premier reported from constantinople Italy is pledged to associate herself with the Powers in trying to end the War speedily. It is a fair inference that this pledge is Given in the interest of Turkey otherwise it would not have been sought by that government. If it has actually been Given it is a confirmation of the View taken in these columns since the negotiations a assumed definite form that a they would result in some understanding As to european Turkey to the advantage of the Porte. Clearly if Italy is to try to Aid in ending the War speedily it will not be to the injury of Turkey. We have spoken of the possibility of a position for Italy of greater importance than that she now occupies. The triple Alliance to which she is a party expires next year. When the question of renewal comes up the value of Italy will have been considerably enhanced. That is to say she will have interests of great importance in the Mediterranean which Wall bind her to prance and great Britain and she will its Way into the bulging pockets of be proportionately less eager to cast the manufacturer. The people Are thinking a Good Deal less about the manufacturers Sophis tries and his outcries than they Are about their own can Dillon. It is the Day of the con Stii Nerv if the return of Prosperity is a condition try favourable to president tafts campaigns this High Cost of Liv Init offsets it and Niobe. We Ith food supplies at that Are Well nigh prohibitory even for those of Good in comos it is hard to persuade the Coni to Man mail the average Man that there is any Good reason for maintaining. Utes of the articles to needs for the nou ashment of ills body. A he Tariff argument works steadily arts effectively age inst Republic aids in the Campaign of this year. The abuses it and extor Tiosh of the Tariff Law which i was continued in Force almost in tia Tiger by an act of Republican bad Faioli have been too often exposed for do option to be longer i possible. Tho hardship the injustice the outrage of Dutli s Are Felt As they a never been Felt before. The panic i it head with derision not Only in her lot with Germany and Austria Hungary. To persuade her to do so she will have to be granted More advantages than she has in the past secured from the Alliance. It May easily turn out that the other parties to the Alliance cannot offer her adequate inducements to join them. In that Case the whole situation in Europe will be notably modified the balance that has been w worked out und that Only a year ago seemed fairly effectual May be seriously disturbed and a realignment May become necessary. An incident occurred last. Month that thrones some Light on this Prospect. The French government ordered a third Squadron from Brest to the Mediterranean with the scarcely concealed intention of carrying out an understanding with great Britain that the North 8ea should be left to the care of that Power. The German press immediately argued that the movement avas meant As a menace to Italy. For a no Merit the italian. Press was influenced by Tjie suggestion but it was not idea largely Oft the friendliness of Range and of great Britain and that e Transfer of the Squadron was made in the friendliest spirit. It remains True however that it was not made in the interest of Germany and that it was a indication of the changed relations that May develop in the near future it is probable however that these changed relations will make for peace. Even if the extreme Assumption be made Kat Italy moved by the need of perfect safety in the Mediterranean should remain outside the Alliance and should reach a Complete understanding with the parties to the triple entente there would be Little danger of aggression in consequence and the possibilities of disturbance of the peace would be strengthened. Charleston so Fleet what is called a Fleet week will be celebrated at Charleston s. C., from the 17th to the 23d of november it has been officially announced by the Navy department at Washington that thirteen ships of the Atlantic Fleet including the Connecticut the flagship of Admiral Ost Bratts and twelve battleships of the Fleet which has just passed Muster in new York will take part. The total enlisted men and marines in this mobilization will number 11,318. And Charleston is preparing elaborately for their reception and entertainment. To make the occasion All the More impressive Cole l. Blease commander in chief of the land and naval forces of the plucky Little Commonwealth has ordered All the state Volunteer troops to the scene of operations and the people of the whole state who now speak of a your Navy a Are arranging to a a take a week off a for the Celebration. There is Anchorage room in Charleston Harbor for All the ships of the United states Navy at one time the Harbor with its forty Square Miles of deep water affording ample Opportunity for the movement of the ships. Six years ago after a quot very thorough and careful Survey of this Harbor and its approaches. Admiral Dickins in command of the coast defense Squadron declared that it was one of the greatest ports in the world and that because of its geographical situation its strategic importance could not be exaggerated. Spoken of repeatedly by president Taft As a the most convenient port to Panama a within ready reach of the West Indian countries and As a Safe base of supplies there is no question As to the importance of Charleston from every Point of commercial and military consideration. Really the most important lesson of the demonstration at Charleston next month will be the proof it will afford of the Wisdom of the government in providing for the improvement of that Harbor upon which something like $10,000,000 has been expended and the establishment there of one of the greatest and most modern of our nay Yards. We should think that the mobilization at Charleston of a Fleet of thirteen of the heaviest ships of War in the world would silence for All time the envious comments and downright misrepresentations of those who for any reason hold their self interest and their prejudices against the development of the great port. Human persons sought. As a shattered of idols president Butler of Columbia prepared his speech delivered yesterday at the dedication of the $3,000,000 state education building at Albany. Or. Butler is fishing for men not with men he says the world might get on without schools and colleges and universities. These institutions do not create education although they sometimes make it difficult. And he adds when one reflects upon the ravages which have been committed in the name of education there is some excuse for wondering whether it would not be advantageous to agitate for compulsory illiteracy. The confessed fort heres of education have of late columbian a president fears been bowing to the fetishes of mechanical devices to measure it to a standardize it and to see How it is getting these devices arc crutches and a a when we grow skillful enough we shall get on without it is personality that counts the it nost precious thing in the world is human personality. It is an end in itself to watch it grow to help it grow and to take note of the results of its growth Are a constant Joy and Delight. The putting Forth of new Power Tho giving evidence of a capacity previously non existent and the growing responsibility for capable and Wise self direction Are the tests of an education that is real and not merely formal or mechanical. The universities Are waking up. The air is vibrant with a new spirit. These institutions Are realizing that they must Lead their pupils into special Fields As or. Butler expresses it by teachers of a a High excellence and originality a teachers who can a corp the Petty grind of educational machinery. It is not surprising but it is Gratifying that both of or. Roosevelt a chief rivals should Send to him cordial expressions of sympathy and of Hope for his Safe and prompt recovery and that gov. Wilsqn should withdraw from the discussion in which his Specular antagonist can no longer take part. These manifestations of Ken illness in Tho midst of a struggle so strenuous slow in Recd Niz a that Italy Lead i the Tetter it a a a a a nature Are utter All the More enduring and the>e4otiger. J f the error behind Mati son in. Tiie to nth had no to but it is a solemn thine to talk aint topics of the times. Defectives and How to treat them. Whatever doubts one May have with the general Public appreciating As Little As it does now its own danger from defectives a As to Tho practicality either of subjecting All of them now in existence to proper restraints or of preventing the production of others there is and question that something like both of theae highly desirable ends really could be attained and that the first step toward doing it was suggested in the letter we printed yesterday Over the signatures of drs. Macdonald Mabon and Schlarp. They clearly Points but the fact that now almost nothing is done for or with men of the Schrank Type until their malady has passed through its Long period of incubation and then Lias culminated As it is always Likely to do sooner or later. In a violent explosion in this instance the. Attack on col. Roosevelt. Yet from childhood Schrank has manifested symptoms which taken in connection with his heavily tainted heredity would have revealed under sufficiently expert examination Tho need of a special training in childhood and of restraint afterwards in Case he proved Una enable to treatment. Even to casual observation he has always seemed abnormal quot a Little off a gloomy taciturn fellow bitterly resell Ful of Small injuries real and imagined and showing both the illusions and the delusions of progressive paranoia. He was regarded As a a harmless a a however As indeed he was and As Are All of his class till the characteristic outbreak comes. His Case was probably hopeless from the beginning but it was made wholly so by ignorance and neglect and he went his predestined Way till he became a dangerous Public enemy. Elect Taft says Stim a. Of Elm to Republican party hat not Otril Lvpl Tea usefulness. Buffalo n. Y., oct. 16.�?Secretary Henry l. Stimson made his first speech of the presidential Campaign Here tonight advocating the re election of president Taft and the continuance of the Republic a party it Power. Although he said a men who were formerly republicans a re now trying to destroy the party a and denounced As a a a monstrous thing the attempt to destroy this great party this instrument which has been working out the destiny of Progress in this nation for fifty years a the Secretary did not mention either col. Roosevelt or the progressive party by name. His speech was a discussion of issues Between republicans and democrats prefaced by a vigorous reply to the Contention that the Republican party had outlived its usefulness link Long a third party necessary. A a the Republican party is the great Liberal party of the nation a said or. Stimson a not the conservative party which opposes reforms nor the Radical party w Holch merely agitates reforms but the Liberal party which accomplishes reforms. This is not a Mere Accident of history. It follows necessarily and inevitably from the form of our government and the views held toward that government by the men who Are republicans it is a necessary result of the National views held by republicans toward their Federal Union and the Liberal views of construction held by them toward their Federal Constitution. Our party contains the men who believe the Constitution is an instrument of National Progress not a Mere Refuge of vested rights an instrument not to be used to protect the great special interests of to Day in the manner in which John c. Calhoun used it to protect the great special interest of slavery but an in i. fitted to solve the great problems of to Morrow. Just As Lincoln used it to solve the great War problems of his Day. Quot now if to Are right in this. If our Faith has a rational justification it is a monstrous filing to allow the impulse the passion the Lack of vision or of perspective created by the events of a single year to destroy the Organ sure that �80�s will sweep Coho try reports to chairman Mccombs verify opinion of National Campaign committee. Meeting at Headquarters plans Laid from now till election Day a Western Democrat la managers also Here. Victory sweeping and Complete for the democratic party represents the Consen sus of opinion expressed by members of the democratic National Campaign com Mittee after a general of the sit nation at an executive meeting at Tho Headquarters of the democratic National committee yesterday. It was the first joint meeting of the Eastern and Western branches of the Campaign committee. Chairman William f. Mccombs of the democratic National committee denied that the Call for the Western members to Copie East bad been occasioned by the attempt to assassinate col. Roosevelt the progressive Leader. Besides chairman Mccombs and vice chairman William g. Mcadoo commit the remedy proposed by the Distin. A War the a i Stablish but Good of a half Cen Guinea alienist was the Republican party has been of a sort of Clearing House through which All suspected children should be passed for the. Determination of their mental status and a subsequent disposition of them in Accord with the ascertained facts. This is an admirable remedy the Only trouble we talk it being that it la so far ahead of the time that its application would be hotly resented by most parents of children a a slightly Peculiar a or a a a Little there is the real difficulty the great obstacle confronting any such Reform. A thorough going eur Geist moreover would say that this plan does not go to the Root of the evil and w Ould criticise it As proposing the performance of an endless task instead of making the performance of the task unnecessary by cutting off the Supply of defectives. Courtesy has its uses. Not a Little discussion is going on just now As to the Wisdom and propriety of banishing from business letters the formal phrases with which it is now customary to begin and end them. The scientific apostles of efficiency assert that these expressions of affection and humility Toliese assurances of sincerity and respect Are almost or quite without meaning and that the writing of them in every business he use innumerable times every year consumes an amount of Energy to say nothing of paper and Ink that could be put to More practical and profitable use. Some firms have already banished them from their correspondence and from several directions come appeals for others to Institute the same Reform and to Cut their letters Down to Bare commercial Bones. Tho matter is not one altogether simple. The arguments of the abolitionists arc firmly founded on unquestionable fact. The phrases to which they object Are in most cases purely perfunctory and mean nothing w Hilo in not a few the a a dear sir a is followed and the a a yours respectfully is preceded by lines that prove them to to absurdly false As Well As a waste of time. Yet it is not so certain that they Are a wholly useless. They at least introduce an element of men ltd where it Ifould otherwise be wholly lacking and nowhere More than in business is the presence of that element desirable. They give too something of training in Good manners. In the Observance of civilized conventions and their abandonment would probably be for not a few people that of their one remaining Concession to the gentler Side of life. The chances Are moreover that these courteous expressions in spite of their seeming emptiness have a quot measurable effect and for the Good upon the tone it the letters of which they form a part. They go so ill with asperity of language with violence of protest or heat of denunciation that he who uses them unconsciously seeks More or less congruous words for the embodiment even of a sense of wrong and perhaps they thus prevent Many a misunderstanding from becoming a quarrel. So though the eff scientists have facts under their argument they do not have All the facts under it. And it is still further away from a whole of pleasing possibilities. At any rate the demand should not be hastily granted. Good enough and progressive enough and effective enough through All the struggles of the past fifty years up until this year it is not Likely that it has completely changed its character this year and suddenly become worthy of a death dint know she cd uld give a woman buyer protests. A woman buyer for a business House is the first curiously enough to protest that there is injustice in the current charges of a a graft in Trie Way f demanding Dom missions presents and entertainment which have been Mado against the members of the class to Wirich she belongs. Howe it tray be with the men in it she says the women slow no a in the shape of automobiles and comity houses that they Are rapidly accumulating iniquitous fortunes and while she admits that even the women buyers sometimes accept Little favors of one Jort or another from Tho wholesale to which they give their orders she insists that this is usually a Case not of demanding but of offering and that the offers Are often refused. This turns the tables on the accusers and will give them something new to say. What they have been saying by the Way has been open to quot the criticism that it revealed about As much a moral weakness on their part As on that of the grafting buyers. Perhaps it revealed More for certainly the Sellers have at least tried to recover expenditures that they knew to be illicit and the recovery could Only have been from the principals for whom the improperly influenced purchases were made. In Short the hollow Ware and the pottery seem to have been of about equal Swart Hiness As Are always bribe takers and bribe givers the exporters of blackmail and those who pay it old bachelors answer. To the editor of the Yew York times Are women understood yes they Are understood Only too Well. If they were not there Ivy Ould not be so Many bachelors. Fifty year old cry but. In Yoda ool la Itta Rochester girl sent $3 to Aid Taft when she Learned. Special to the new York times. Washington oct. Annie Daehn of Rochester who got the Impresa Sion from the agitation about Campaign contributions that the Law prohibited everybody from giving Money to Aid candidates has confessed her error in a letter received by the local Taft head quarters which enclosed a Check for i in her letter she Saya a a i was not aware that any person could contribute to the Campaign fund until i read of a Young lady in Texas doing so by sending a Check unsolicited. I suppose it is unusual. I would like to suggest that you make Public through the press that women Are sending in Money unsolicited and that it is very Welcome and then you la get More. A a please Send me about four pamphlets. I can use them to advantage by giving them to certain men who Are not Roosevelt a rugged physique attributed by or. Pease to abstention from a to the editor of the new York times in Tho accounts of the shooting of col. Roosevelt a reference is made to his rugged Constitution. Col. Roosevelt is a Man who As far As i am Able to learn lives a Normal life. His whole attitude and conduct at the time of and after the shooting was that of magnificent normality manliness which la never concomitant with Poison habits. It is a notable fact a i am informed and one that should be brought to the attention of the Public for what salutary effect it May have upon the individual mind that the three principal candidates for the presidency do not use tobacco. In this time of overwhelming example to Ouw youth of Poison habit of which tobacco using is the greatest prominent examples of Freedom from this vice should to presented for emulation not Only for the sales of the individual but for the Sake of posterity which is entitled to pure parentage which now lacking in the main is rapidly on the downward Grade to the shame and criminality of those responsible for it. Charles o. Pease m. D. New York oct 15, 1912. A maniacs deed. Unfair to connect Schranki a crime with the socialist party. To the editor of the new York times permit me to express my appreciation of the times a honesty in referring in j our nears columns to the Man who shot Theodore Roosevelt a a a a there was every reason for questioning Schranki a sanity but none whatever for prom pay branding him a quot socialist a As Somo papers did. Even before there a any Way of knowing what the Many a politics is this claim was made. There is absolutely no ground for connecting socialists with deeds of this kind. In the list of Bose who have Atta Keef our to it a bloc officials in the past there is not a single socialist to be found. He would be a Niedman. Indeed who imagined that he could usher in the socialistic Commonwealth by taking the life of a single Man Howei or influential he May be. The platform of the socialist party takes a decided stand against violence of any kind. D. Mackenzie. New York oct. 15, 1912. More Library complaints. To the editor of the new York times i the complaint regarding the closing hours for special departments in. The Public Library May be supplemented by the statement that 10 of clock for closing the building la far too Early. Take Tho Case of a person who works through the Day downtown and goes Home far Uptown for dinner. If he reaches the Library by 8 of clock in the evening he does Well and then some time is consumed in searching out the books required if they Are not numbered among those we hich cannot be had because the room is closed for the Day then when the books Are received it is already Well on toward 9 of clock which leaves but one hour for study and Little can be done in an hour. Moreover a really Well informed librarian who can be of genuine. Assistance in finding books and articles is a rarity under the Sun. It seems rather a pity when there is so much use for the books on 4hc open shelves in the reference Reading room on the top floor that there Are never new ones added on the subjects ranged there. In one much used series there Haa not been one new Book added since the Library has been opened though booksellers lists weekly show new volumes in number on this subject. Unlimited a items might be mentioned where improvement could Well be made in the reference Library of the City of new York As it is so proudly denominated by the librarians. Reader of books. New York oct. I c 1912. Glynn tor lieutenant governor. To the editor of the new York times the nomination of Martin h. Glynn for lieutenant governor is a Strong one.

A a we discussed plans for the Campaign generally finances speakers and so Forth and before the meeting adjourned completed our plans right up to the election a said or. Mccombs. Edwin o. Wood the National committeeman from Michigan where col. Roosevelt is said to have developed great strength told or. Mccombs that a poll convinced him that Michigan would be carried by gov. Wilson by 26, xxx. Martin j. Wade the National committeeman from Iowa reported that his state almost certainly would be in the democratic column. From Colorado or. Mccombs heard that the state not Only would be carried by gov. Wilson but that the legislature would be democratic on a joint ballot and Send two democrats Thomas and Shaft Otiis to the United states Senate. E. W. Mullen the former Harmon Leader in Nebraska gave a satisfactory report of conditions there. Senator Smith of Maryland and mayor Preston of Baltimore told or. Mccombs that six democratic congressmen would elected in that state a gain of one. Urey Woodson of Kentucky reported that Ilia Home state was Wilson Snow without any further Campaign. Roer Sullivan of Chicago former nation committeeman declared that ail Laik about Roosevelt carrying Illinois might be disregarded and that the state would be carried by got. Wilson. Wilson starts on a tour. Will not touch on third party a programme in speeches. Special to the new. York times. Princeton n. J., oct. 16. A gov. Woodrow Wilson left Here at 11 04 of clock to night on what May prove to be the last campaigning trip taken by any of the presidential candidates before election Day. The governor said that he would go into Delaware we est Virginia and Pennsylvania and end his Campaign in new York w Ith addresses at Carnegie Hall and the Academy of music in Brooklyn on saturday night he had urged his managers to cancel the new York engagements but was finally prevailed upon to appear even if he said but a few words. In fact the Campaign As far As the candidates themselves Are concerned is now practically at an end unless col. Roosevelt recovers sufficiently to return to the stump for gov. Wilson declared to night that in none of his addresses would he touch upon Tho third party programme. In announcing to Day that he i Ould have to fill his engagements in new York City meetings which he said last night he hoped to have cancelled. Gov. Wilson said that he deeply regretted that he would have to go on the stump again at All. Had the meetings been arranged by National Headquarters he would have insisted that they be abandoned but when he took the matter up with his managers he Learned that the meetings All had been arranged for by others and at considerable expense. ,rnd6r the circumstances he d d not feel that he would to acting fairly to these others if he flatly refused to put in an appearance. The governor will make not More than four or five addresses in Delaware and West Virginia if he can so Arr be it. On Friday night he will speak at Pittsburgh and then depart immediately for new York. When asked what topics be would touch upon the governor replied that he had no speeches prepared and could not Tell. It is not unlikely that he will limit himself to a Large extent to questions of special interest to the localities where the speeches Are to be delivered. He said to night that he was greatly relieved of the favourable reports of tha condition of of. Roosevelt received from Chicago. He was asked if he would resume his trips if col. Roosevelt wag Able to enter the Campaign actively again. Yes that would change my plans of course a the governor the attempt upon the life of col. Roosevelt it had been planned to Send gov. Wilson into the new England states and Western Pennsylvania next week and he was to have been kept fighting his hardest until the very end of the Campaign. X. To Day the governor spent quietly at his Home. He conferred at frequent intervals Over the Telephone with acting chairman William g. Mcadoo and other leaders who were in confere be a National Headquarters at new York. During the afternoon judge will lung h. King of Oregon and Albert s. Burleson of Fexas dropped in to a c him and talk Over his plans and the go no ral situation. They brought him the latest news from the conference. Gov. A Wilson will be accompanied on Bis trip to night by Lieut. Col. A. L. I in Bey a member of his official staff but there will be no special bodyguard to protect him. The governor said he did not feel the slightest alarm because of the excitement caused by the attempt on the life of col. Roosevelt. If any special guard were needed it would be provided by the police of the towns arid cities he visited he said. No pause for Marshall.

In a country like Eure which has produced the distinct Chojn Acter of Man known As the american Cowboy who is incomplete without the horse. It is particularly appropriate and patriotic to encourage the love of the horse among our boys. It wid be recalled that one of our greatest american artists the late or. Frederic Remington requested that on his mom it ment the Only comment should be a the knew the there is nothing i can think of which would so excite enthusiasm of the american boys As to be mounted like real cowboys on the backs of real horses. Besides the sentimental and patriotic aspect the practical Side of the proposal will Appeal to that great army of men composed of our explorers our prospectors and our Border scouts and sturdy Farmers who Are the real Empire builders and who would have been practically helpless in Many situations if deprived of their companion the horse. We should teach the scouts How to throw the Diamond hitch the one Man hitch and the Squaw hitch How to use the Sling rope when there is a top pack the use of the pack Saddle the Parejo the cinch the al Orjas and lash Rop names which i believe Are not even to be found in our dictionaries or encyclopedia a or were not until recently and yet names which Are familiar to thousands of people in our great West and Are common household words. The throwing of the Lariat would be a never ceasing source of amusement and exercise to the boys and incidentally a Means of educating their minds and Muscles and producing that correlation which is a necessary adj met to every Quick witted and Quick acting human being. The automobile has its Mission so also have the electric car the trolley and the flying machine. But there a re Fields which will probably always exist where it will be necessary for us to a know the horse and How to use it not Only should the boy be taught the handling care saddling and the packing of a horse but every scout should know How to of Tito and a hitch a single horse or a team. In our manual we offer Merit badges for knowledge of Blacksmith Long and to this should be added Honor Marks for All other forms of horsemanship for Riding driving and handling of a horse. For these reasons i am Cathu Lastlo about the plan of having mounted boy scouts. Indeed a Start in this direction has been made in a few places in the country. We do not however advocate the idea of having the United states government take up this matter officially. It is doubtful whether such a plan would be feasible but More. Important still. It would undoubtedly confuse the real Aims and objects of the scout movement in its efforts to develop Universal peace. I am hoping that we a May develop plans for mounted troops of boy scouts throughout the country and that such troops might be reviewed by the president of the United states possibly at Washington or some other Central Point. This however will require considerable Money. Possibly some of our Public spirited men especially interested in horsemanship will be willing to Aid in such an Imide taking. James e.
