"There' i. an awaktninglon the
part of America, in lact, on the parr
ot the whole world, jp the yalue of
the youth ' of the land,'' declared
James EK West, chief eesiwtive of ,
the Boy Scouts, of Airierica, at? a
liinnnr fri'ton ' in his.tlhnnr hv liOVr
Scout oflkiali at the "U'vcrsity club J
last night. " - i . f?.k' i
"The boy is now recognized -as ann
asset of . the most .valuable type,
continued Mr. West. "The reform;
tories and jails of this country ""-are
largely used for boys under 22 years
of age. It Is necessary to take steps
for prevention rather than for 'refor
mation." .; s Stop Written Exams.
Mr. West urged that written ex
aminations be done away with in
the scout world. It makes the scout
work seem too much like school
work, he said.
J. P. Freeman, deputy field scout
executive of the middle" West dis
trict, was also present "atthe' dinner
last night. He said the Hay'Scout
organization stands for. control in a
period of unrest. There '.are 700
councils in the middle west district,
he said, and Omaha is one of the
I leading centers. ' ,
Jjr. n. i . iienry rcaa a welcome
from the Boy Scouts to Mr. West.
The dining room of the lifniversity
club was decorated to resemble a
scout camp with subdued lighting
effects and other: decorations.
University Club Talk. ;
i ne time nas come wnen we
should be more, vitally interested in
the youth of our country," said
James E. .West to members of the
University club at luncjieonyesfer
day. "; "That which has happened in this
country since the war' has caused
. more concern than anything that
happened during the period of the
war, so far.as. this particular coun
try is concerned. Changes in our
immigration laws are all right, but
we will not have approached this
subject unless we care for the youth
of our country. Let us remember
that 1,000,000, boys reach the age of
12 every year and a similar number
reach 13, 14, IS and. 16 years and
nearly (.000,000 attain, their ma
jority. Mow many of these boys
function according to- the principles
of right li.vitgi - ' ...
"The Boy -Scouts' learn by doing.

quarters in the United States and
numbers nearly 400,000. members- .
Yesterday afternoon at 2. in the
auditorium of Central High school,
Chief West presented 'Herbert
Lichtenberger of Omaha with an
Eagle Scout medal, the highest rank
in scouting. This medal indicates
that the wearer has passed 21 or
more scouting tests.

: - Mail-Meanwhile There Is Much Speculation as
To Whom Bryan Is "Afire" For Hitchcock Men
Called "Federal Brigade."
The most toothsome morsel of
political gossip among the rank and
file of local democrats during the
last week was the launching of the
"Hitchcock for President club,'"
with the attendant effects on the
democratic element which already
had started a boom for Edward I.
Edwards, governor of New Jersey.
When the news of the Hitchcock
orgaruzation- reached the Edwards
headquarters, room 1017 'City Na
tional bank building, T. J. O'Con
nor, secretary f the Edwards club,
asseverated with vehemence:
"The prairies are on fire for Ed
wards!". .
Democrats Are Dividing.
The line of cleavage among Oma
ha democrats are being spread by
this Edwards-Hitchcock situation.
Secretary O'Connor of the Edwards
club was a protege of the Dahlman
administration. The" former .mayor
is an officer of the Hitchcock for
President club.
A feeling of keen rivalry is being
engendered between these organiza
tions. "The members of the Hitchcock
club compose what is known as the
'Federal Brigade.' stated lohn F.
Moriarty of- the Edwards club.
It is rumored that before the Hitch
cock club was announced, Mr. Mo
riarty was asked to abandon the
Edwards club in return for promise
of support if he should, aspire to
congressional honors.

Hitchcock Claims Mullen.,
The Hitchcock club claims advan
tage in having the support of Ar
thur F. Mullen, democratic national
committeeman; Sophu.s Neble and
Tom O'Connor, county commission
ers; A. E. Agec, superintendent of
the countv court house; Isaac Ko-
-Hecky, editor of the "Jewish Bulle
tin, of this city; John A. Rine, for
mer city attorney; W. B. Price of
Lincoln, and others.
The Edwards presidential boom
was started here on the occasion of
VV. J. Bryan's recent visit in Oma
ha. Since then. Mr. Bryan and Gov
ernor Edwards have exchanged a
series of expressions which have
more or less, confirmed tbcv popular
belief that the democratic, party is a
debating society.
The Edward supporters are not
concealing the fact that their cham
pion was elected governor on a
"wet" platform and they hope that
his recent reference to prohibition
will reverberate through the land.
They insist hat the prairies are afire
for Edwards.
Meanwhile, much interest is shown
in the identity of whom, Mr. Bryan
may be alire for. He is against Ed
wards but is so far silent as to
Hitchcock.
Churches to Observe

of France for the heroic sacrifice of
America's dead. Ministers will be
requested by the 8,000 posts of the
legion to explain the work of the
organization from their pulpits at
the Sunday morning services.

Cri sis in - City Gas Plant ..
Controversy in Council
c Is Expected This Week
Mayor and Commissioner Butler Favor Purchase
Commissioners Ure and Zjmman . Oppose Ap
praisal Price of $4,500,000 Ringer, Towl and
Falconer Attitude, Not Yet Known Legal Con
ditions Put First Move Up to Opposition.
A spirited contest is in prospect
.(luring tins week in the city council
chamber over the question of
I whether the city should buy the gas
j plant at the appraised valuation of
f t lt(
Mayor Smith and Commissioner
: Butler are avowedly in favor of the
j purchase, if the gas company will
' tile its promised stipulation to waive
; all rights to appeal. Commissioners
Ure and Zimman are opposed to the
: city paying what they believe is an
excessive price.
The attitudes of Commissioners
Ringer, Towl and Falconer have
not been put to a test vote.
Decide Next Tuesday.
'I will know next Tuesday where
i will stand on this matter," Mr.
Towl stated yesterday. "I am in
clined -to believe that Burns and
McDonnell, experts for the city,
placed the figure high enough when
they reported a valuation of $3,750,
000." "The appraisal is too high, said
Mr. Ringeri "The value, is not there.
I am not ready to commit myself
definitely on whether I shall vote to
reject the appraisal." -
Commissioner Falconer is suf
fering bereavement and will not be
able to give, this matter serious
consideration for at 'least.a few
days. , '
Opposition's First Move.
The legal conditions under which
the gas plant was appraised provide
that if the city takes- no formal. neg
ative action witJiip-60 days' from the
filing of the appraisal,- theiK.the city
automatically buys, the plant at the
appraised;valutioti.- '' ' ''.,,...
To -reject the appraisal, it will' be
necessary for at least a majority
of 'the city council to pass, an ordi
nance to that effect. Lmder these
circumstances, it is anticipated that
the; first move in the city council will
be made by the commissioners who
are opposed to the anpraisal price.
Statistics have , been flying thick
and fast in the city hall during the
last week.
Attack Financial Statement
One argument offered by the
commissioners' who are opposing
purchase at the $4,500,000 figure, is
that the company's financial state
ment recently rendered to tne cny
of last year's operations, does not,
in the items of coke and coal, rep
resent the fair market value of these
materials.
Others contentions are that the
present peculiar relations of the
Omaha Gas Co., to the United Gas
Improvement Co., of Philadelphia
would be eliminated by the advent
of municipal ownership, thereby re
ducing the expense of, operation.
The feature of the Metropolitan
Water board management of the gas
plant, with reduction of high salaries
and consolidation of accounting de
partments, would yield further ma
terial reductions of expense, it is
stated.
Mayor Smith has stated that he
is confident that the city would be
able to "jump off" with $1 gas, an
immediate reduction of 15 cents per
thousand feet, followed by other re
ductions. Figures Sinking Fund.
One side argues: "The price may
be excessive, but the figures show
that the city can pay' the price and
even then-reduce the price of gas
materially.
"The mayor has figured that a
sinking fund of' $75,000 each year
for 30 years will pay off the bonds.
He further states that if there is a
Y ACCOUNTING
at Home
majority in the city council to sup
port an ordinance to reject the ap
praisal, he has been promised all
kinds of support to refer such an
ordinance to' a referendum vote ot
the people.
He insists that the people are will
ing to buy the plant at the appraised
valuation of $4,500,(XX).
Would Drive Bargain.
Still another argument is that the
city is in a position to drive a bar
gain with the gas company; that the
company is now operating without
a franchise and that the citv is not
required to buy the plant at the ap
praised figure. A bond proposition
to build a municipal plant has been
hinted at, but lias not taken serious
form.
The gas company has orally de
clared that it will not appeal if the
city accepts the appraisal price.
The city council is confronting a
big question and lively debate is ex
pected before an agreement is
reached between the city commis
sioners. Men of Holy Name Society
