AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SERVICE

As Boy Scout field representative Robert Dill stressed when he was here from Seattle few weeks ago effective conduct of scouting activity depends upon leadership There must be adult leaders who are willing to give of their time and ability to help the boys in this worthwhile youth training.
 Most smaller communities have difficulty in this respect and Juneau is exception It is hard to get able who find time from their other affairs to take active interest in working with the Scouts
 The leadership Juneau Scouts have at the present is excellent in quality but limited in numbers A few able leaders are called upon to carry much larger part of the work than they should be required to assume. They should have some help.
 Thursday evening in the City Hall meeting has been called with that it's aimgetting toeether men in the community who interested in scouting and are willing to give some of their time to it. It should be large meeting and attended by men representa- tive of the community and our civic organizations Out of it should come those who willing to share the responsibility of helping the Boy Scout movement here by taking active interest.

Suspended Sentence!
Cincinnati Enauireo


 The Texas woman who murdered all six of her children in their sleep crime so henous that words cannot describe it, under suspended sentence for the murder of her husband only two years ago. Such procession of crimes, committed in cold blood and not in a moment of fury, betrays diseased mind which suspended sentence" cannot cure.
 Barring mitigating circumstances which the dispatches do not disclose it would seem that the judge who gave this woman her freedom after she had committed murder must shoulder some of the responsibility for six more deaths.
 In great crimes and small, the suspended sen tence vicious instrument of judicial bungling. By imposing sentence, judge may clear his own cons cience. Guilt is thus punished By suspending the sentence in the same breath the judge then does a generous act and perhaps wins friend Society pays the cost for the suspended sentence IS inv taton to any convicted criminal minor offender to repeat his crime without fear of punishment.
 This practice is damaging the integrity of the courts in America. It gives the honest citizen as surance that his community is not sprnkled with vicious persons, convicted of crime but pardoned by the judge It gives the criminal abundant reason to suppose that he flout the law again and again

 The springtime will be marked by differences of opinion among statesmen. Many scandals will be uncovered in cities east and west.
 Relief problems will not dimin- ish appreciably with the close of winter and many efforts to solve the question of unemployment will be made.
 Young men from the eco camps will enlist in large numbers for ser vice in the army and navy, it is prognosticated. While astrologers do not prophecy war for the United States they see many portents of grave significance.
