CAMP PENN will appeal to those parents who

would wish their sons to learn to stand on their own feet, to develop resourcefulness, initiative, a capacity for self-help, a working knowledge of real campcraft and woodcraft, and to have a mighty good time along with them.

Our program holds a wide variety of activities of unusual interest and benefit. It ranges from a rational amount of athletics to camp construction, from playing on our band to practical woodcraft and nature study, from photography to field engineering.

HOSE who study human habits agree that most of our good habits are formed before we are ten years old.

That is why the mother's watchful care and early teaching are so important.

Millions of mothers believe that Ivory Soap cleanliness is a basic part of their children's education. They use Ivory Soap from the very first for the baby's bath, clothes, bottles, nipples and utensils.

Right now, while she is still young and eager to learn, teach her the seven important things about fine soap. They are: Purity, mildness, whiteness, fragrance, abundant lather, easy rinsing and "It Floats".

Having learned these, she will probably use Ivory
Soap always, because Ivory combines all seven.

For these same seven reasons you are probably
now using Ivory today for your face and hands,
for your bath, for your hair, and for laundering
your silks, laces, woolens and other delicate
garments.

"BUTCHER AND BANDIT"

N one succinct and sweeping phrase an American Legion official, Mr. John T. Taylor, denounces General Gregorio Semenoff, now in this country, as a cowardly butcher and bandit whose entry into this country is inimical to American institutions. A partial apologist for, Semenoff, President Barrows, of the University of California, who as a colonel of American forces in Siberia in 1918 saw something of Semenoff, declares that he is a great fighting leader, but also that he is "a human brute, a man to whom death is a jest."

There seems to have been a difference of opinion among our immigrant authorities as to whether General Semenoff was entitled to come into the country at all or whether his admission was irregular. At all events, it is agreeable to know that he came in only with permission to remain transiently and that when his various troubles are settled he proposes to leave for Europe, where, it is intimated, he may engage in new Russian plots of an imperialistic character. Certainly he cannot be more anxious to go than the American people are to have him go.

At the investigation before a Senate committee two American officers of high standing, General W. S. Graves, who commanded the American Expedition in Eastern Siberia, and LieutenantColonel Charles H. Morrow, General Graves's chief aide, both regular officers of high standing, testified that Semenoff slaughtered prisoners, that he even sent them out in car-loads to what was generally called the "slaughter-yard," and there mowed them down with machine guns. Colonel Morrow asserted that these prisoners were not even Bolshevists, but were harmless peasants.

Semenoff's reputation had preceded him to this country; the fierce outcry against him by Russian Jews, who clamored for his life when he was in a New York jail, is a convincing proof of the horror in which he is held by their people in Russia.

Different versions are told of the attack by troops under Semenoff's command against American forces in Eastern Siberia, but there seems to be no doubt that at least two or three Americans were killed. They were avenged by their comrades, and Semenoff claims to have punished those directly responsible.

Looting, as well as murder, seems to

GENERAL SEMENOFF AND HIS WIFE

have been among Semenoff's chief activities. His legal troubles in this country, in fact, grew out of the claim that he seized and appropriated large amounts of property belonging to an American firm.

The condition of affairs in Eastern Siberia in 1917 and 1918 was tumultuous and confused. Semenoff commanded a body of Cossacks and guerrillas who sometimes aided Admiral Kolchak and sometimes ran wild over the country, killing and plundering at will. At one time he was used by the Japanese as a screen for their own operations in Siberia. It may be said that the total result of the military activity of the Allies prevented the establishing of a Bolshevik government in Eastern Siberia. Apart from that, however, it is a chapter of half-hearted action, of purposes formed and then changed or

abandoned, and of mutual suspicion among the different forces which were supposed to act in harmony.

EX-PRESIDENT WILSON WRITES OF TUMULTY AND REED

A

Ta dinner given in New York City

at which ex-Governor James M. Cox, defeated Democratic candidate for President at the last election, was the principal speaker, a message was read which purported to come from ex-President Wilson. The message was given to the Chairman by Mr. Wilson's former Secretary, Joseph P. Tumulty. The message was read to the diners directly after Mr. Cox had criticised the Harding Administration and expressed the opinion that the League of Nations would be the chief political issue of 1924. quote the message as it appears in the New York "Times:"

We

Say to the Democrats of New York that I am ready to support any man who stands for the salvation of America, and the salvation of America is justice to all classes.

The juxtaposition of speech and message is said to have appeared to many of the diners to have a serious political significance, although the message ascribed to the ex-President seems to us innocuously Delphic.

Reports published in the press that this message from Mr. Wilson might not be authentic drew forth the following letter to the New York "Times:"

[blocks in formation]

message if I had not believed it to be
authorized.

The incident would hardly seem to justify so public a repudiation unless it comes as a culmination of a series of incidents of which the pubilc has no knowledge.

A second political episode drew forth another letter from Mr. Wilson. This time it was Senator Reed, of Missouri, who drew down on his head the exPresidential lightning. Senator Reed is a candidate for re-election to his present office. In the course of his campaign Mr. Lee Meriwether, an ardent supporter, stated that he had seen a letter from President Wilson warmly thanking Senator Reed for the great service the Senator rendered in perfecting and passing the Federal Reserve Bill. President Wilson in a letter to the "Globe Democrat" refers to the remarks of "one Lee Meriwether" and declares that he has no recollection of ever having written any such letter and says:

On the contrary, I clearly remember that Mr. Reed, as a member of the Committee on Banking and Currency, interposed every possible objection to the completion and adoption of the bill.

His objections, indeed, were SO
many, so varied and so inconsistent
with one another that I recall speak-
ing to him about them in conversa-
tion.

Having spoken of reading a certain
parody on a well-known novel, I told
him that his course in the committee
reminded me of the conduct of the
hero in that parody, who, when re-
jected by the heroine, rushed from
the house, mounted several horses
and rode off in every direction.
Mr. Wilson's letter concluded:

To those who have closely observed
Mr. Reed's career in Washington he
has shown himself incapable of sus-
tained allegiance to any person or
any cause. He has repeatedly for-
feited any claim to my confidence
that he may ever have been supposed
to have, and I shall never willingly
consent to any further association
with him.

Senator Reed has made public a letter from President Wilson which he says refers to his action on the Federal Reserve Bill. This we quote as follows:

I have felt all along the sincere honesty and independence of judgment you were exercising in this whole matter, and you may be sure that there has never been in my mind any criticism except an occasional difference of judgment. I think that things are now shaping themselves admirably, and I am quite willing to admit that the processes upon which you have insisted have contributed to that result.

I feel that I can count on you from this time out to play a leading part in bringing this whole matter to a satisfactory issue, and I want you to

know what satisfaction it gives me to feel that I can do this.

Senator Reed in his comment on this episode has shown unusual self-restraint. It would not have been too much for him to have said that no public man of our time has left so many wrecked friendships in his wake as Mr. Wilson.

G

A LESSON IN HOME RULE OVERNOR MILLER, of New York, has done a service to the cause of local self-government by vetoing a salary bill that had been passed by the New York Legislature. There is constantly much talk for political purposes about home rule, but not often an exposition of its principle. The value of Governor Miller's veto, together with the memorandum which accompanied it, consists in the direct application of the principle of home rule, or local self-government, to a case in point.

According to the bill which the Governor vetoed, the salaries of the Mayor and the Comptroller of New York City would have been raised from $15,000 to $25,000, and that of the President of the Board of Aldermen from $5,000 to $15,000. To the increase of these salaries itself the Governor offered no objection, but he used his authority to prevent that increase being made by the State Legislature instead of the city's legislative body, the Board of Aldermen.

The local legislature, which represents the taxpayers who pay the city salaries, had already received from the State Legislature power to fix the city salaries. To that power was affixed a sound limitation-that the salaries of certain important officials should not be changed during their terms of office. This limitation is one which is found both in the State and in the Federal Constitution. As the Governor points out, if the State Legislature regards this limitation as unwise with respect to city salaries, it should not violate that limitation itself, but remove it from the statute-books. "The way to insure home rule," says the Governor, "is for the Legislature to confer suitable powers over local affairs upon the local officials and then scrupulously to refrain from itself exercising those powers."

The fact that Mayor Hylan, of New York, had approved this bill increasing his own salary, as well as that of two other officials, has been seized upon by some of the Mayor's opponents as a reflection upon the Mayor. The fact, however, that he had vetoed during his former term of office a similar bill should be placed to his credit.

The important point is not one which affects the motives of Mayor Hylan or Governor Miller. It concerns, rather, a

matter of permanent and National concern. The key to political power is the power of the purse. True local selfgovernment consists in the power of controlling public expenditures for purely local purposes. Every city government should have that power, properly limited of course, embodied in its charter. Of course it cannot exercise that power if it is going to encounter interference from the Legislature of the State. It may be debatable whether control over transportation within a city is, for ex ample, solely within the function of the city authorities; but it seems to us not debatable that the fixing of local salaries is essential to the exercise of any right to home rule.

MINNESOTA ENTERS

THE CAMPAIGN

NEX

EXT November the country will elect a new House of Representatives and a third of a new Senate. Minnesota is early in getting into shape for the political fray. The Non-Partisan League has given way to the Farmer-Labor party, and if that new party (or old party under a new name) declines to fuse with the Democrats-and the indications are that it will insist upon independent action-the Republican prospects are bright and the re-election of Senator Frank B. Kellogg and Governor Preuss is probable. Both were indorsed overwhelmingly by the recent pre-primary party convention. Against them the Farmer-Labor party will run for the Senatorship Hendrik Shipstead, a Minneapolis dentist, and Magnus Johnson, now a State Senator. The Democrats have nominated Edward Indrehus for Governor and Mrs. Peter Olesen for United States Senator.

Perhaps the most interesting feature of the Minnesota conventions has been the nomination of women as candidates. Mrs. Olesen has served as a president of women's federated clubs. She was a delegate to the International Child Welfare Congress in Washington, was the first woman to speak at a Jackson Day banquet in Washington, and was the only woman delegate to talk on the Democratic National platform at San Francisco; she spoke on "bone dry America." Another woman, Mrs. Kneubuhl, was put on the Democratic ticket as candidate for the office of LieutenantGovernor, while the Republicans nominated as Clerk of the Supreme Court Miss Alice Kaescher. We notice on Mrs. Olesen's campaign circular these concluding words: "She belongs to the rank and file of the common people. Her occupation is Housewife."

A well-informed correspondent of The Outlook in Minneapolis writes of the
