Scouts Conspicuous By
Their Absence In Court

Judge Moses Hartman of st. Louis,
Mo-, said: eff good citizenship as ex-
emplified by the Boy Scouts could be
inculcated into every youthful men,
Der of every community, there would
be no need for reformatories.
"Of more than 14OO children who
have been before me as judge of the
juvenile court, two-tbirds of whom
were boys ranging in age from to
II inclusive, who had committed in
fractions Of the law varying from the
usual boy FRANKS of breaking win
dows, turning in false fire alarms,
destroying property, stealing bicy-
cles, neighborhood gang fights,
crap shooting, and the like, to the
commission of murder, 80 per cent
of the delinquencies were attributed
to improper environment, lack OF
education and bad company. While
in many cases, boys who are merely
mischievous can be corrected by
friendly contact and advice, there
are many who must be placed in re-
formatories for correction.
"In many instances, boys who have
been in corrective institutions have re-
quested admission into Boy Scout
troops, and with the constructive
educational training received by them
they have proved themselves worthy
of the association. Out of the 1400
children who have been before me,
not one to my recollection was Boy
Scout.
"The Boy Scout of today will be a
monument of emulation for the fu-
ture generation and with the proper
mental, moral and physical training
Of boys, there will be no further need

FARM CHILDREN NOT INFERIOR

Facts involving 10000 high school pupils rep
resenting every State in the Union show that
farm children make better progress than other
children through high school, This is true be-
cause of the unusually good progress of farm
girls. The facts show also that higher per-
centage of farm girls than of other girls are
enrolled and that the percentage of elimination
from high school is lower. Unless we concede
remarkable sex differences of ability between
farm boys and girls, therefore, we must sband-
on the ancient myth that the farm stock is de-
caying and that all the brains have migrated to
the cities.
Sentimentalists who have sought to improve
rural education by raising the bogey Of decay of
the farm stock and have advanced program de-
signed to keep the most intelligent on the farm
must seek another leg to stand on. The farm
stock is still virile and intelligent It is yet
educable. We need not fear to offer to country
children an unbiased liberal education and per-
NIT, even encourage, those so minded and fitted
to seek opportunity wherever it beckons whether
it be upon the farm or in the professions or
trades.

REPUBLICAN INSISTENCE on the enforce
ment of law and order must be taken literally.
This applies to all laws, regardless of the con-
troversies that attended their enactment or of
the efforts being made for their modification or
repeal. law is a law to President Coolidge
and his executive assistants, and there is to be
no discrimination among them. While the Vol
stead act is the law of the land it is going to be
vigorously enforced, and Attorney General
Stone has let it be known among officials of his
Department that he will countenance no neglect
of duty in that field. Already several United
States attorneys have been asked to resign be-
cause of their failure to apply the prohibition
law as drastically as some others.

THE FACT that it is possible to bring punish
ment through the courts on the individual mem
bers of riotous mob has been demonstrated In
a recent procedure at Frederick, Maryland. Last
spring young woman of that vicinity OF ques-
tionabIe character, was set upon and given
coat of tar and feathers. Nineteen members OF
the mob were identified, arrested and brought TO
trial Five have been acquitted and fourteen
convicted of rioting and sentenced to jail Tor
from one to two years. Testimony regarding the
character of the victim was not admitted by the
iudge. he holding that it had no bearing on the
riotous conduct of the mob. This Maryland in
cident should have a salutary effect on law en-
forcement officers in other parts Of the country
1t is the rule, rather than the exception that
members of mobs guilty Of far more helnous
crimes than the one in Maryland escape punish
ment altogether because public officials are
afraid or disinclined to do their duty.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER %. 1924

THE PEOPLE OWE A DEBT of gratitude to
Senator La Toilette for separating from both the
Republican and Democratic Parties those mar
plots who used the party label to shield their
own sinister designs against American institp:-
tions. Those citizens, both in and out of Con-
gress, donned their true colors in the campaign
and openly fought for Third Party victory.
They failed in their purpose but they can never
retire again behind the cloak of Republicanism
or sound Democracy. Henceforth they will be
known for what they are, and the people can
take proper measures of protection against their
Vaccinations.

/ IT is GROWING BELIEF in all parts of the
United States that too many holidays have been
grated upon the laws as a legal excuse for idle
ness, in banks, schools, and business places gen
orally. Each recurring decade after some great
event that has aroused the patriotic spirit of the
country, or of organizations, demand is made
upon legislatures to enact and create another
holiday. This has reached the point when it is
neither patriotic or common sense. Recently the
Delaware legislature created another holiday
for the schools by making general election day
legal holiday. The bill should never have
been introduced, much less enacted into law.
Certainly the Governor should have refused to
approve it. In several large states and cities,
the Boards of Education have refused to permit
the observance of Labor Day, of Armistice Day.
of Washingtons Birthday and others where the
state laws have not made it mandatory that they
shall be observed Why not have the adoption
of the Prohibition Amendment, or the Women's
Rights Amendment to the National Constitution
observed each year by a legal holiday? Why not
a score of other local events receive the same
recognition? There are Altogether too many
holidays for the schools, for business and for
the welfare of the people Every Saturday af-
ternoon is a legal holiday for many trades where
labor forms considerable part of the output.
This with the shortening of hours in every
work day, in conjunction with the legal holi-
days, has reached the point where the load will
have to be adjusted for the public is getting just
d bit jaded and is ready to balk at paying the
cost of it all. If we are to have new holidays,
then drop some of the ancient ones as well as
useless ones.

A REMARKABLE SUPREME COURT DECISION

The burden of education rests on the State.
Appropriations for State aid to weak districts
are part of the fulfllment Of the obligation to
the State by its constitution. District tax levies
are somewhat in the nature of aid to the State.
The limit of district school tax having been
reached, the State must "carry on to the point
where a school system of some degree of uni
formity and equality of opportunity is maintain
ed.
These are the main points of a remarkable
decision rendered by the supreme court of Okla
homa on September 8. 1t was brought about by
an attempt to invalidate an appropriation of
$3.50 900 made by the legislature last spring to
aid weak districts to hold an 8-month term. De-
pending on the good faith of the State, about
5000 teachers stayed at their work, heightened
the terms in 1,O65 schools, and helped about
176,SOO children. The greater part of this good
was done in rural districts where the small,
weak schools are.
The decision greatly strengthens the position
of rural education in Oklahoma. 1t says among
other things
without affirmative aid by the legislature the
constitutional mandate for an efficient free
school system will be unexecuted in those weak
school districts"
'"The sovereign State and we as citizens are
as much interested in the education of a youth
in a remote part of our State as of one who
lives in our capital city, because this interest is
based upon the child's relation to society gen
orally, of which we form a part"

A FEW YEARS AGO the Milford Chronicle
advocated that the highways of all Delaware be
taken over by State Highway Commission, but
the building of the boulevard program of State
Highways, overshaddowed and prevented any eff
fort being made looking to create new depart
ment in the government system of Delaware,
which would take over and maintain all the
roads in the entire state. This would mean TAX
ing away from the present Levy Courts all con-
troll of the roads and bridges and placing them
in direct control of non-partisan highway de-
partment. In the light of subsequent years and
since the establishment of the present State
Highway Commission, we believe the proposition
will be for the best interests of all the people
for several important reasons. It would insure
better service from better built roads which are
drained-and just there lies the great
secret of road work-good drainage It would
secure more permanent dirt roads, because OF
their drainage and because Of their width being
maintained sufficient to accommodate the uses
,or which the road is adapted Permanency also
means less cost of Iupkeep and longer years of
service without rebuilding. The wiping away of
probably three hundred embryo local engineer
Dad builders, from all management Of the high
Ways, other than to carry out instructions OF
cal engineers, will save many thousands of
ollars which go into temporary and often use
ess work, which has but one purpose and that
o pad payrolls for themselves and political
riends We believe that State Highway De-
with competent engineering and well
rganized corps to direct all work on Delaware
ighways, will in less than five years convert
very fair-minded man and woman in the state
, ifs earnest support because il will give better
Dads, and cost less in the future for repairs.
