L OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY/ PROCEEDINGS. SCOUT’S NIGHT No more impressive gathering/has ever been held in Be- midji than that of last night, when almost one hungired_ Boy Scouts accompanied by their fathers and other Bemidji citizens sat down at the banquet in the Central school. Looks of pride could alike be seen on the faces of the scouts and the parents and men who acted as sponsors for the boys. Every boy in the bunch had a daddy last night. There were more than enough | daddies to go around, which also speaks volumes for the inter- est started in the movement. They were a fine looking bunch of young boys—we won’t discuss the men—and if these boys “stick to it,”” as one of the speakers of the evening urged, they will, in g few years, be a mighty fine bunch of men. It was a splendid thing for the fathers to do. It was good for them and good for the boys, but it will be a much finer thing if the interest awakened and displayed last night is eon- tinued and increased in the coming summer., It will be worth| ten times as much to the boys if their fathers will be big broth- ers to them and go with them into the country occasionally, en- ter into the scout spirit with the boys themselves, take an in-j terest in the things they are doing and maintain the interest in| the hoys after the spectacular thing has been done. Nothing is worth more to our city, and there is nothing that will bring greater dividends to the city, than the directed efforts| of our boys along proper lines and this will result in a manhood physically fit, mentzally awake and morally straight. Give the Boy Scouts a chance and they will many times re- pay 3ll the time and money spent on them, It pays. s ) el L PROTECT THE MAILS Robbery of the United States mails is to become a little | more hazardous than it has been in the past. The postmaster general has instructed that men who han- dle valuable mail shall go armed and ready to perforate any bandit who appears. He also offers a reward of $5,000 to any mail man who brings in a robber. Citizens of small towns and riral communities have not been iso vitally interested in the reign of crime as are people in the large centers of population, where the bulk of the banditry flourishes. - But when it comes to looting the mails the blow strikes home to every citizen, no matter how isolated his resi- dence may be. The only good robber is a dead one. men shoot often and straight. 4 The reward should be paid for a dead head as freely as for a live carcass. We hope the mail GE DR ! il : CROSSROADS OF MANHOOD e ¥oung men budding into manhood should remember that it is just as easy to go straight as it is to be crooked. There is everything to gain by going straight and everything to lose by being crooked. ¥ Parental influence has its effect, but a youth approaching the crossroads of manhood makes his own choice as he enters the great maelstrom of life. He has reached the age of self- determination and is resentful of interference with his desires. e ‘At this age it is well for him to remember that the man who is successful and honored today is the one <who chose the straight pt}th and denied himself the fictitious indulgencies of youth;/ while the one who is without honor and without for- tune followed the gilded will-o’-the-wisp to the destruction of his manhood and of his hopes.
