In many places it will be found that
there are no juvenile court systems,

many cases where little fellows whose
parents are poor nut deserving, should
be assisted ana the education and
general welfare of the boy looked after
by a big brother. The names OF such
boys can easily be obtained from the
principals and teachers in both public
and private schools.
In arranging with the various iuve-
nile courts, il is necessary that the
Judge of each court be furnished with
the following information:

Since this idea was first suggested

Filipino independence
Matter of Long Wait

Difficulties in the way of the early
independence of the Philippines are
springing up steadily. Opposition is
being organized and it is becoming a
serious question whether the Jones bill
can pass the Senate.
Indications now are there will be no
action in the extra session and no at
tempt to pass the bill or one akin to
Il, until the regular session year
hence. The Democratic leaders have
concluded not to try II In this Congress,
as IL would be a waste OF effort and
Taft would veto the measure II passed.
The delay will DC a keen disappoint-
ment to the Filefnos who have hoped
for action in the extra session.
