Of course, the field for these shady equines is as broad as the country itself. But when it comes down to a matter of actual choice the candidate must be not only free of the enmity of any large class of republicans or independents but he must have positive and engag- ing qualities which will make him more than a fig- urehead. Governor Allen of Kansas would have been such a possibility but for one consideration. It is feared that his stand for the industrial court law of Kansas, meritorious and salutary as that law There are 396,008 boys in Scouting. There are 10,000,000 other boys of Scout age out of it. Think of it, you friends of boyhood! Ten million 'boys, men in the making; needing only leadership to mould them into citizenship of the finest sort, want- ing your leadership, says the Bemidji Pioneer. Scouting is the process of making real men out of real boys, by a-real program which works. Scout- ing is a door school. Scouting is a huge, splendidly organized game;- with all the fine zest of competi- tion, the finer zest .of co-operation, the keen testing of mind and muscle, the essentialhgood sportsman- ship of a football game, only it is a constructive game, a progressive game. It gets somewhere. Scouting is more than a game. It teaches signaling and first aid and fire fighting and outdoor coqkery and a host of other useful and important things. It teaches also self-reliance and helpfulness, cour- age and courtesy, loyalty and reverence, patriotism and honor, and other kindred qualities o!.goqd re- pute. Scouting is non-sectarian, though: its \Qea}s are in accord -with those of the church, lnd_ it is based upon a pledged allegiance to the 'service of God, the brotherhood of man.—Stillwater Gazette. i O North Dakotans Waking Up.

Despite his past achievements as an impersonatqr of western charac- ters, in the portrayal of which he has caused audiences throughout the land to gasp at his death defying stunts Tom comes on the screen, it can safely be said frightened and that in his latest “thriller” he eclipses anything he has previously done.

But a man to whom no such objection can be raised is Senator Kellogg of Minnesota. Not only has he the negative qualities that would keep his candidacy free from any. incumbrance. But his record in the senate, particularly on the peace treaty, is a distinguished -one. Senator Kellogg's views. on the League of Nations come probably nearer to meeting those of the great masses of the American peaple than those of any other senator unless it be the handful of associates whose position has been nearly identical. And if the; convention desires a Roosevelt heir, which seems to be the case, what better could it do than select Mr. Kellogg as the candidate upon whom all factions could unite? The, two present leading candidates:are both regarded as Roosevelt legatees. Senator Kellogg, a personal friend of the late Colonel, was ever a defender of his policies. Here is a combination of points which the nomina- tion makers must go far to match.—St. Paul Dis- patch. PSS SS— When the American Federation of Labor held jts first convention at Pittaburg in 1881, Samuel Gompers was there as a delegate representing the International Cigarmakers’ union. He was elected first vice-president. For the first five years the federation had no permanent president, the presid- ing officer being chosen at each convention. At Columbus, Ohio, in 1886 the federation had grown to fifty thousand members and the convention de- cided to elect a president to hold office for. one year. Samuel Gompers was chosen, and ever since, at each annual meeting, with the single exception of the one at. Denver in 1884, when John McBride of the United Mine Workers was elected, Mr. Gompers has. been re-elected. He celebrated his seventieth birthday last January, and is aflectior:: ately referred to as “The Grand Old Man of Labor.

The products of petroleum have been largely responsible for the increase. In 1850, 90 pércent of our people lived on farms; in 1919 only 33 percent of the - population was listed as rural. 1In 1850 the per capita production of wheat was 4.4 bushels, while in 1919 it was almost 9: bushels. On the farms of the Middle West—the bread-basket of the nation—the gas engine is best known. And here this engine is. plowing, seeding, and_ harvesting by the square mile instead of by the acre,andit is doing the work better, quicker, and cheap- er than it could be done by horse-power. These -must have oil, both products of petroleum. That is wh; that “petroieum is a basic necessity, as much so as wool or wheat”. The manufacture and distribution of gasoline, lubricating oils, and other getroleum products, have been developed to a hi ciency by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This organization, trained by years of experi- ence to anticipate unheralded conditions, has been able to foresee and prepare to meet prob- lems, which, unsolved, might have proved disastrous. Even transportation ‘and other troubles in allied industries have failed to make an appre- ciable interruption in the steady flow of prod- ucts from the refineries of the Standard Qil Company (Indiana) to the consumers of the Middle West. | Standard 910 So.
