Even the tre are acsonueiy without tection aainft an enemy, and that a idea of sleeping indoors on a catrping trip hasn't taken very well, however, and not a few of them have insisted upon remaining with Chief Scout Genel-la in the camp proper. But the arrangement has made the majority com. fortabie during the rainy days. The little spell of squally weather, which prevailed from Thursday on.

has proved great sport for most of the "boys. They have not been greatly inconvenienced and many of them have taken great interest in the storms, in fact, have become young weather prophets, as well as experts on Just how to fix a camp in preparation for a squall. The dashing of the rollers in with the wind is another source of amusement. To-morrow the present crowd at the camp give, place to the seventh week's delegation. Indications are that a large number of this week's boys will remain over and Join the new detachment.

Dr. L. J. Genella. who ha.

been superintendent and chief scout of the camp during the past week, also leaves tomorrow, his term expiring to-morrow morning. J. A. Tarpley, scout master of the Second Battalion, will succeed him. Mr.

Tarpley is to remain for a week also. Despite adverse weather conditions a great deal has been accomplished during the week. Dr. Genella has been in charge, and wa. highly complimented yesterday the Scout management on the manner In which he had run the camp and upon the great amount of personal effort he bad put forth.

He has been almost ucceasingty on the go since hi. arrival, and the officers all agree that it has been a week of real work.

All political reform must come from the people. Let them put only good men In office and demand the faithful administration of public duties and the work Is done.

of the forts, Peter Lawton of Algiers. In a letter to Chairman C. H. Eliis. who is head of the Naval Ease Committee, made the suggestion that the be appointed to accompany Gen.

Wood on his Inspection trip. Mr. Lawton said that with the forts forty mile, up the river and no possibility of land defense, being maintained at the Jetties, the only manner In which protection could be afforded to Mississippi valley would be by maintaining a noaiing oanery i ire Passes. The Jetties themselves are nineteen mile. In length and would be utterly Incapable of bearing the weight of any extensive coast fortifications.

Consequently, the enemy warships could easily attack the jetties, aestroy this great engineering work or bottle up the mouth of the passage, so as to d-troy a traffic with the outside world from the southern and central portion cf the I nited States. This proof of the Indefensibility of the Pass and the great strategic value of the Mississippi river, the principal outlet ot commerce from the Interior State, of the country, la as an Irrefutable argument in favor of the great necessity for the maintenance of warships at the mouth of the river for coast defense.

name to the variety of fabric known a. "calico." Some qualities of thl. were so fine, it ia said, that one could hardly feel them In the hand, and the thread, when spun, was scarcely discernible. Dacca, one a most important city lying northeast of Calcutta, sent out from Its loom, la the early centuries those wonderful tissue, of fine muslins made from a staple too short to be woven by any machinery. Even after the advent of the British In India there is recorded an Instance of a piece of muslin twenty yard, long and one and one-quarter yard wide weighing only fourteen ounces.

With the rudest implements the Hindoo women spun those almost impalpable threads, and wove fabrics that for fineness of quality have never beea successfully Imitated elsewhere. With the decay of the native Hindoo courts, the chief customers, the demand ceased and the manufacture waa for the most part stopped. Dacca to-day Is little more than a ruin. But the art survive, to a certain extent. Weaving In India divides Itself into two branches hand loom and power loom weaving.

The proportion of hand-loom-made cloth to power-loom-made cloth is fully two to one. The native handloom Is a most primitive affair. It is now the same as it was thirty centuries ago. The old ffy-shuttle loom, of a century ago are ages in advance of the Indian hand loom used by the native weaver throughout India. Of course, there are a number of fly-shuttle looms in successful use In certain localities, but thee are net favored by the natives.

The manufacture of cotton In India dates bark to the earliest times. In the Sanskrit records mention Is made of it three thousand years sro. Herodotus, about V) B. C. speaks of lv.e trees of India bearing as their fruit fleeces more delicate and beautiful than those of sheep and of the Indian using them f-r the manufacture of cloth.

Company, placed at the dis-po-al of the Scouts a fine new cottage near the camp, and making use of this and another cottage already occupied by the organization, the camp management ha. been able to place the boys under roofs daring all storms. Thursday, Saturday and last night most of the lads slept In the cottages. While the arrangement was not absolutely necessary, because the tent city in which the Scouts have been housed for six weeks proved itself able to withstand any kind of a blow or storm. If properly watched, it made things much more comfortable for the boy.

and relieved the officers of the necessity of looking after them, in addition to the tent, during squalls.

People who go up against the modern brand of sure things get quick enough actioa wuh Mr. Stranger thre is no complaint on that but we who shove out five-spots to him over the transom have an idea that part of this wealth at least should be spent with hcjae talent. rarelts In our Judgment, that those fortunate individuals who have been elected to serve the people have come to think themselves above all moral codes, and. Judging from their conduct many Instances, one would think that they had gotten even to the rlt.ee "where they believe themselves superior to the Jurisdiction of all criminal law This condition of things must be Iirfore we can have purity In politics there must be a political conscience developed so that it will econi a matter of conscience with the people to see that their rights are Vrolected and their interests conserved. "This condition of affairs Is one of the fruits of machine politics.

I'nder the present system of rule by the political boss there is fast bein created the conscienceless officeholder. The tiiotto of the political machine is 'whatever I. to our Interests Is This motto Is practiced strictly by the professional politician. And this practice 4s destroying the M.ise of moral responsibility of those who are given office by the ring, and Is loading Inevitably to the moral degradation of offl-t ials and to the perversion of official rights and powers. Once let it lie established a.

a part of our political system and machine politics Is working to that end that office Is the property of the professional politician, and that the officer Is relieved by the system from all H.oral responsibility, so far as right und wrong Is concerned, and that he is only bound by the will of the political power that put him in office, and we will have arrived at that stage In political degeneracy where olficers will have no regard for their obligation, to the people, where they will make no effort to fulfill pre-election ple.lges. and have no care to administer the affair, of State in a righteous and economic way. 'The say. Carlyle, 'know not their health, but only the sick; wherever, or In what shape soever, powers of the sort which can be named vital are at work, herein lies the test of their working right, or working wrong." This dictum Is applicable to our civic life. So long as the several elements cf life are adjusted there Is union, agreement, silence; it is only dis-cord that loudly proclaims itself In every instance where there is corruption, where there is a lack of moral conscience manifest, it is directly traceable to the evil influences of machine politics.

Such corruption is the inevitable result when otTioe comes to be looked upon as the property of the machine, to be given in exchange f-r valuable services rendered. The taint of this evil once getting into our politics will corrupt surely, it has already, at one time or another, corrupted almost every State In the I'nion, the politics of the country and destroy the conscience of the people politically. l'EMAXI) FOB Pl'KITY. "All over the land there is to-day a cry for purity In public I.fe. Men ho have stood out against political corruption have become heroes and have been toasted and lauded all over the country.

There Is a civic awakening. This red from the ominous mutter- ngs of civic and focial discontent.
