CAPTAIN GILBERT
S|CNALlY HONORED
REDtIELD PRAISES RECORD Or
FORMER OLlMPIAN, LONG IN
GOVERNMENT SERVICE.

Puget Sound pioneers, and especial
ly those engaged in steamboating, will
remember Captain ]. J. Gilbert, who
for many years commanded various
craft on the Sound and off the coast,
and who has Just recently been sig
nally honored by the government
For long time he lived at Olym-
pia. Some twenty years ago he en-
tered the United States coast and
geodetic survey, first on the Sound,
and then, having won promotion,
went to Washington, d. c., where for
ten years he has been an assistant
superintendent of photography and
topography.
Recently, years pressing upon him,
Captain Gilbert voluntarily applied
for reduction in rank and for less re-
sponsible duties. The result has been
the receipt by him of tribute seldom
paid to an aged government employe.
DR.. E. Lester Jones, superintendent
of the survey. wrote the captain
letter, expressing keen regret at his
decision, and then Secretary Redfield,
of the department of commerce, wrote
this:
"My Dear Mr.. Gilbert: I have
learned. through the superintendent
of the coast and geodetic survey, of
your request, dated the LIST instant, to
be relieved of the duties of inspector
of photography and topography. and
to be assigned to other work.
"The superintendent has expressed
to me his sense of your unselfish cour-
tesy in this matter, and his apprecia-
ton ofethe valuable service you have
rendered. I feel that ought myself
in this connection to add a personal
word to you.
There are many kinds of service
one may render his country. Some is
in the public eye, and wins the plaud-
it's of the throng. Such service has
inspiration which comes from the
acknowledgment of it's value. There
is other service, however, which Is OF
a finer tone because it is quietly done,
without stimulus, save from within a
mans own mind and heart, and which
looks for its reward not to public
approval, but to the consciousness OF
work we'll done. l need hardly say
that you have merited the best of
these rewards, the consciousness of
having served your country we'll. !
trust you may continue for many
years so to do.
with kind regards. I am very
truly yours,
WILLIAM c. REDFIELD"

BOY SCOUTS COLUMN.
MILFORD BOY SCOUT NOTES.

There has heen a continued revival of
interest in Scout work among the Scouts
of Troup 2 during the past week and
many have taken advantage of the new
| system of marking to secure numerous
/ points for the individual medal contest
! So far Charles Abbott heads the list.
with several hundred points to his credit,
but there is 10 reason why the other
Scouts should not secure as many or
more If they are willing to make the
necessary effort.
AT the meeting held at headquarters
Thursday evening the question of secur-
ing an additional row boat suitable for
Scout use was discussed and n commit
tee consisting of Frank Holmes, Chas.
Hammond and James Deputy, was APP
pointed for the purpose of examining
and reporting on such as are available.
The resort will be made at the next
meeting and steps will be taken to Sc
cure a boat as quickly as possible for
use on Haven Lake.
A committee, consisting of James
Deputy and Armel Nutter, was also ap-
pointed for the purpose of comforting
with those in charge of arrangements
for 'Old Home Week" and learning
what part, if any, it is desired the
Scouts should take in this celebration.
They are desirous of aiding the Firemen
in any way possible and will cheerfully
undertake any duty that is assigned to
them.
In last weeks column note was made
of the necessity for troop drill and at
tention was drawn to the fact that drill
practice does not necessarily imply the
intention to make soldiers of the Scouts
nor to inculcate militaristic IDEAS We
have frequently urged the practice of
this drill for the reason that much can
be accomplished with it and but little
without it. In final analysis it is merely
systematized activity, and system is at
the base of every successful institution,
public or private, in the country. 1t is
not desired to make soldiers of the
Scouts, but surely no one can object to
a system of training, which would, in
the event of national danger in years to |
come, make of them useful citizens with |
the ability to aid in the defence of their
own homes.

The COUNTRY Editorial.

Many editors of small papers refuse
to give their readers editorials on the
ground that editorials are for the
city papers and the public does not
care for the views of the country edi-
tor. AS matter of fact, says the
SlatingtOn (Pa.) News; the views Of
the rural population are really reflect
ed by the editorials of the larger city
papers, which CLEAN them from the
country papers which run editorials.
The sound thought of the country is
to be found in the rural districts. Here
in the more or less quiet of the coun-
try. men and women read and study
and gather data which result in con-
clusions founded on a solid basis.
Sometimes this thought may be biased
by the enthusiasm aroused by the inn
practical reformer or selfish politician
who runs off at a tangent with some
new fad for 'ism," but generally such
fads are short lived and the sensible
thinker of the country districts re-
turns to the sane and solid and con-
servative attitude which has always
distinguished him. The editor of the |
country paper, therefore, has a duty |
TO perform in crystallizing his thought |
ana SeuuluS II OuJ " tilS WI III ao IhS /
of his section of the coun
try to the agitation of the day. The |
country editor usually is a compare
lively poor man, but he has sand and |
and pride of work
rarely found in other professions.
Moreover he is brought into closer
personal contact with his constituency
than the editor of the big city paper.
It is safe to say that never before in
the history of journalism have editor
ials been more widely or more care
fully read, not, perhaps as in the old
days, to base an opinion on the views
Of the editor, but for the purpose of
getting all sides of every question:

NONRESIDENT TRUCK OWNER S

There should be concert of action by
the daily and weekly newspapers, the
automobile associations and the civic
organizations in the cities and towns of
| Delaware and those in the neighboring
counties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Maryland to warn nonresident cor
poratiOns, firms and partnerships
owning and operating auto trucks of
| the existence of a new feature of the
| Delaware automobile law that is work
ing great and unjust hardship upon such
owners.
In brief that provision is that any
auto truck owned by nonresident cor
poration, firm or co-partnership must
have Delaware license before it crosses
the State boundary line; that the driver
of such vehicle must have Delaware
license, and that both the owner and the
driver of the machine are liable for
heavy fines for violation of the law.
The fact that the machine and the
driver are properly licensed in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and Maryland, or
any other State is no protection under
this Delaware law, which already has
resulted in hardship, injustice and hu-
initiation to non resident owners and
operators, who relied upon their home
State licenses to protect them.
There is no prospect of immediate re-
lief nor have the police and the courts
any discretion in the matter. The pro-
vision that has worked so much injus-
tice and caused so much complaint was
added to the Delaware automobile law
at the last session of the Legislature
1t must remain there until the next ses- |
sion, when it probably will be repealed
or sensibly modified.
Meanwhile, to save such nonresident
owners and operators, the concert of
action alluded to above should be had,
to nullify, so far as may be possible, the
effect of legal provision that never
should have been enacted.
To prevent reprisals by other States
against our own automobilists, it should
be made clear to officials and automo-
bilists in those other States that the
provision of the Delaware law does not
meet with the approval Of the Delaware
public and that it. is eager for the time
to come when it will be possible to do
away with it for the sake of the comfy
that should exist among the States and
for the protection of Delaware bust
ness with surrounding territory. Even
