There Is also slim chance of there
being riots at the republic on the Pa
ciiic coast. Some of the emigrants
from Freeville have been through this
phase of democratic upheayal at the
original Junior Republic. and their
respect for law and order has become
confirmed. The last riot of the George
Junior Republic was the second In jts
history. For hours the citizens fought

straighten ont for themselves a crook,

ally to supervise this first step TO-
ward putting the idea on n national
basis. Following the efforts of this
little band of pioneers on the Pacific
coast and two similar colonies which
are just gaining a footing in Connec-
ticut and Maryland. many states may
in time possess junior republics like
that which in New York state has
turned hundreds of careers in the
right direction.
Nat Bedford. graduate of the
miniature republic. has for months
been organizing and training the
California Colony" which he and his
wife are TO supervise when the new
republic has been set up on the
coast. The emigrants: have been Sc
iected from among the younger and
more promising citizens of the boy
and girl movement. With Nat and
his wife. they have been grouped to-
Sether in one cottage colony on the
bleak hills OF the parent republic to
have working organization ready
when they find themselves out on the
sunny slope; of California.
Government Already Planned.
Their leader. clean-cut specimen
of Young manhood. is encouraging
the new junior republic. The George
idea is founded on the leaving OF
everything to the initiative of the
young citizens themselves. and in all
the fourteen years of sslf-government

has never gone far wrong. The boys
