the one Mr.. Twistytail had bought
for Squeakie Squealer.

discussion of teaching problems.
All the visitors were shown over

was especially noticeable that the
buildings are so constructed that
the school may grow. For instance.
there are empty rooms in the Ii
brary, which will be filled with
certain collections later. This
foresight was strikingly evident
over he whole university. Such
thought for the future would pre-
vent the crowded conditions which
now exist at Central.
The delegates from Central Ju

a second degree murder term for
the same crime charged against
Walters.
Johnson was convicted by a jury
here of beating Charles Abel to
death. Walters was named with
johnson in the indictments return
ed by the 1926 grand jury, but he
was not apprehended until recently,
when Delano police captured him on
a top from the sheriff's office here.
The outcome OF Evans talk with
johnson behind the walls of San

whether the latter will be subpoen-

Walters will probably be taken be-

"Oh, no." answered Uncle Wig

I thought it was real telephone.
But where did the water come
from?"
The Sea Dog showed Uncle Wig.
gily where, in the bottom of the
telephone, there was a rubber ball
that could be filled with water. And
when any one who didn't know the
trick took the receiver off the hook
and started to telephone, they would
have water squirted in their eyes
as they pressed the rubber ball, not
knowing it was there.
Hal Hal What a jolly tricky
telephonel" cried Uncle Wiggily
Let me try it again." Which he did
and more water squirted in his eyes.
But he only laughed and said: I'll
buy one of those telephones to play

It's better than buying a toy for

WALKER INDICATED

News of the dismissal of charges
against Mayor Jimmy Walker of New
York City, will not be received with
surprise in any section of the country.
1t was to be expected. Not that it nee
essarily follows the mayor was guiltless
of the charges filed against him, nor is
there any tangible reason for saying that
he was guilty. The governor of New
York officially says he was not.
The reason the decision will cause no
surprise is that as people, our political
affairs have reached such point that
we have learned to take little or no
stock in the effectiveness of investiga-
tions as a means for remedying politi-
cal ills.
Charges are made continually, investi-
cations are ordered and the sum total of
the worth of Investigations is minute in
! deed. If glaring examples must be cited
' to prove the contention-there are Tea
pot Dome or our own Julian mess for
instances.
The public has become calloused to the
state of affairs and it is not a nice thing
/ to think about-this ever increasing in
difference of the American people to the
manner in which their public servants
conduct the duties of their offices.
In the particular instance-the charges
] against Mayor w Nalker-peTSOIS III 1>eW
York and who are thousands Of miles
from New York, expected nothing to re-
suit from the appeal to the governor.
Tammany Hall is firmly in the saddle in
New York. Both the mayor and the gov
ernor are of Tammany Hall, even though
the governor might like to create the i'm
preston that he is not Tammany con-
trolled. If he is not Tammany con-
trolled he most assuredly is Tammany
influenced.
Investigations of New York's political
corruption have extended over many
months and each expose is such as to
shock respectable citizens. But we seem
to recover quickly from the shock with
the punishment of few minor officials.
1t is not likely that the charges and
their dismissal will change Gotham's
mayor to any great extent. Jimmy is
likeable character, he has plenty of
friends and influence-he is the good
fellow personified. He appears to be
good enough mayor to suit New York and
we suppose what he does or does not is
really none of our business.
San Diego is going to try an under
taker as chief of police Wonder if his
slogan will be death to Law Violators."

received in an auto accident. One can
