BOY SCOUT COURT
 OF HONOR WILL BE
 HELD SUNDAY PM.

Boy Scout court of honor for Douglas and Juneau troops will be held next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in the auditorium of the Parochial School, according to announcement today by Rev. S. A. McPhetres, ad- vancement chairman.
 Scouts will have interest in this session of the honor court, the chairman said, because attendance of boys and parents will probably determine permanent possession of the districts trophy plaque. AS it stands now, there is two-way tie between the Methodist Church's troop 6O9 and troop g, sponsored by the Catholic Church. The Ameri- can Legion's troop SIS could also sew up the contest, since they have two previous wins on the trophy. If they turn out the best percentage of attendance at Sundays court, the plaque will have to be held over until the December court for perma- nent award, since each of the three troops would then have three wins to their credit.
 In addition to attendance at the courts of honor during the past year, the trophy has been awarded for best participation in the Eagle River Camp, for top honors at the annual spring camporee, and for participation in the 4th of July Pa rade by scout units.
 Douglas Volunteer Firemen's troop and the 40 and 8 Society's explorer post 713 are also expected to receive awards at the court of honor Sun day Main program feature of the Sunday afternoon affair will be the showing of colored slides taken on this summers National Jamboree trip by Alaska scouts.

THE COURTS

Whenever I face elections, l be- come puzzled about how to vote, particularly for judges. Our free doms depend upon our courts, upon the character of our judges. Those whom I am asked to vote for are, on the whole, mediocre persons, not particularly fit for judicial office. I should not like to have my future depend upon their experience and soundness of judgment. Of the half dozen candidates, shall, un- less I have some reason better than 1 know today, vote for only one, Charles D. Breitel.
 It is a sad situation for the citizen. The bosses pick his judges. Why should I vote for a judge selected by such a person as boss Ed Flynn of the Bronx or someone similar to him? Why should any citizen be placed in that position? It is unfortunate enough that we are dependent upon these politicians for administrative and legislative candidates; it is a crime against cur political structure that such men exercise so much power over cur courts.
 Some time ago, MT. Justice Rob- ert II. Jackson of the United States Supreme Court said:
 "A disorderly, obstructive, con- temptuous or defiant demonstration within the courtroom can only be charged to lawyers. The problem would be less difficult if it were due only to a purpose to discredit courts and judicial proceedings.
 But the more subtle danger is from the growing attitude that judicial control of the proceedings is a sort of tyranny, that a court room ought to be cockpit without rules, the trial free-for-all, into which the participants are free to throw anything they please"
 An obvious demonstration of lawyers contempt for the courts was given wide exhibition in the trial of the Communists in Judge Medina's court, and this is un- dcuttedly the demonstration to to which MT. Justice Jackson refers. But what they did was unusual only in degree; many lawyers assume an attitude of d.srespect in the courts for which there can be no excuse whatsoever. A client can he defended without disreSpect. The point is that this condition is bad enough when shyster lawyers use the courts to get publicity for ! themselves or to give the jury a vaudeville show, perhaps to inn press clients and their families.

becomes increasingly dangerous to the preservation of American just ice when the lawyers have real and abiding disrespect for the judges. when every informed person in the courtroom knows how the judge happened to be nominated, even how much he paid into a campaign fund or directly to the boss for the nomination. No one can prove that these things hap pen, even though they are frankly discussed in political circles.
 I have sat with judges discussing judges and with lawyers discussing judges over these many years. It is one thing when members of bench and bar question the knowl- edge or wisdom of a judge; 1t is another when they speak in frank contempt of a judges character and his associations.
 Some have said to me that after a lawyer has made money, he often seeks honor and that some of these men, who as lawyers pur- sued dubious courses, make excel lent judges once they have taken the VOW, as it were. This seems doubtful formula, although I have known three or four instances which might prove that a political judge could develop into judicial philosopher.
 The fact remains, however, that when a few county leaders meet in a restaurant to pick judicial candidates, they also make deals. They also arrange about receiver ships and references and all sorts of benefits to favored lawyers. And when men are nominated who can- not be regarded as fit, whose very names on the ballot surprise the citizens, then obviously the bosses have not selected in the public in terest.
 It used to be that in some cities like New York, the parties united in the renomination of sitting judges. This practice has now been abandoned in favor of strict partisanship.
 But then if the people do nothing about it, why should not the bosses do what they can get away with?
