SCOUTS DEsERTE COOPERATION

Once again FL Centro is called upon to aid III rails
ing funds carry the work of the Boy Scout
ization here the campaign having opened this morning
Such has been the work of the organization here
in the past that there is little necessity advance
reasons why it should be supported. A large number
of Ell Centre mothers and fathers know full we'll the
good that their derive from being given an Op
portuny to enjoy the things that boys like and at the
same time add to their education.
The Boy Scout organization throughout the coun-
try developing each year splendid bunch of manly,
self-reliant orderly boys capable of caring for them
selves under almost any circumstance and possessing
an ability and desire to aid others They not to
be considered saints for there is much mischief IN
a Boy Scout there is in any normal youth. AS
usual thing, however, the Boy Scout following his
scout teaching confines his mischief orderly chan
nes and respects the and property rights of
others
1t is a we'll known fact that few boys belonging to
the Boy Scouts locally and nationally, appear IN
the police courts.
Scout training is given at a period when boy
needs it most. father need only look back to his
own boyhood days to realize how much such an or
ganization needed and the amount of good 1t
can do.
Ell Centre scouts have demonstrated on many oc-
casons their willingness to help this community They
have assisted in clean up campaigns they have helped
regulate traffic in times Of need they have acted
messengers and odd-iOb men occasions when out
side organizations were guests of the city; they are
among the leaders in school activities and are pointed
out as examples for other boys to follow.
The scouts asking Ell CentrO to provide the
means to enable them keep up their good work and
feel sure FL Centre will not refuse.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
IS HE PROUD OF 1T?

Action of the American Bar Association in drop
ping from its membership Judge Carlos S. Hardy of
the Los Angeles superior court, fails to make any I'M
preston upon him and is dismissed with the statement
that it will him six dollars year - the amount
of his annual dues in the organization.
The American Bar Association embraces the lead
ing lawyers in the United States and it is not too much
to say that it includes the brainest and most level
headed in the country. The very nature of their
calling makes it imperative that they should not Jump
at conclusions but should arrive at a decision only
after calm and detailed deliberation.
To be unceremoniousy dropped from such
ganzaton is not light matter, either for the ndivd
ual concerned in this particular case for the state
of California. When the dismissal is accompanied
by statement that Judge Hardy has violated judicial
and professional canonS becomes serious matter,
particularly because Judge Hardy continues to hold
his position as an administrator of justice in the Cali
forna courts.
A flaw in our judiciary is a flaw in the very root
of society and should be allowed to continue with
out corrective measures being applied
Judge Hardy has given very undesirable exhibit
ton of judicial integrity throughout this whole to
express mild opinion. He has been condemned Of
ficiay from the bench by fellow judge, and has used
echnicalitieS to evade the spirit if the letter of the
law by refusing to admit the right of the California
Bar Association to question him relative to his accep
tance of check from Mrs. Mcpherson.
This column has said before, and says again, If
Judge Hardy has nothing to hide he would not
who questioned him, where when. On one oc
casion he made this assertion himself but when the
time for questioning came his actions repudiated it.
One cannot be blamed, particularly in view of the
Judges remark upon the bar associations action, that
he is concerned about his personal finances than
he is about the dignity and integrity of the California
Judiciary.

So, not thinking at all about the
yeast cake Nurse Jane had asked
him to bring, but thinking it was
tic fluffy seed pod Miss FuzzY
Wuzzy wanted, Uncle Wiggily
picked it and put it in the pocket
of his fur coat. And then he hopp-
ed ON through the wind and storm
of snowflakcs toward his hollow
stump bungalow where he knew it
would be warm and light.
Ira Ia la! - sang Uncle Wiggily
aloud as he hoped along. 81 am

And then from somewhere in the
storm tiny little voice sang:
"'Tra! La. La!'
THAT must be the echo!' said
the rabbit gentleman and he hopp-
ed on faster than before. Soon he
was at the hollow stump bungalow.
&" Dear me!' said his wife Il
feared you were lost in the storm. -
NO, here am home safe! =
said Uncle Wiggily, kissing her.
Did you have an adventure"
asked Nurse Jane.
"No,' answered Mr.. Longears.
Il didn't, except that l heard an
echo singing after me. And | didn t

he was looking for an adventure
all this time, but he could not seem
to find any.
So along in the afternoon when
it was almost time to go home and
the rabbit gentleman had not vet
found an adventure to cheer him,
he thought he had better turn about
and hop back to his bungalow.
just then he was near Il clump of
weeds which covered the ground
and more white snow was falling
from the gray clouds overhead.
And then, all of sudden, Uncle
Wiggily saw one of these weeds
nodding and bending more in the
wind than any of the others bent
or nodded.
THAT is a milkweed, - said the
rabbit gentleman as he noticed It.
And it has a seed pod filled with
fluffy cotton

but still, and with all that, il did

QUEzON APPEALS
FOR INDEPENDENCE
Philippines viii Oppose Tariff
Until Islands Are Given
Freedom.
BY the Associated Press.

6s t4lS kaSsUCldteu frees.
Denying reports that Philippine
leaders had reIinquished their claims
for immediate independence, President
Quezon of the Philippine Senate. in a
cablegram made public by the Philip
pine Press Bureau here yesterday, de-
clared he was opposed to the imposition
of tariff by this country upon the
islands products only so long as the
United States retains the Philippines.
The proposed tariff restriction, QueZon
said, has convinced us more than ever
that immediate independence will not
only be politically beneficial to us but
In the long run will have less injurious
economic effect than the indefinite con-
tinuation of the present status, for the
present economic relations between
America and the Philippines are subject
to change by Congress at any time"
I'VE are not opposed to the impoSi-
ton of a tariff on our products" he
continued. 'fOn the contrary, we are
in favor of it, if, together with such i'm
position, We are granted independence,
the tariff to take effect simultaneously
with the Inauguration of the Philippine
republic. We are opposed to the. i'm
position Of the tariff only SO long as the
United States retains the Philippines
and permits American products to come
free of duty into the Philippines, be-
cause that would be evidently unfair
This announcement of nolicy was
a.. >.preted here as repr,<-nting the
- .itude Quezon and the special COM
r.sIon of Philippine leaders coming
here will take on the tariff question.
