No wonder Civil War veterans no longer march on .~ Memorial Day! Only those who were boys in “65” are still with us. . Virtually all who fought at Lookout Mountain, Shiloh, the Wilderness, - Antietam and Gettysburg are in their final bivouac. Through the Mem ory Mists of years very few of these old veterans can recall the ensan guined fighting at Hampton Roads, the bloody angle at Spottsyvania, - Devil’s Den, Peach Orchard, Little Round Top on the Gettysburg field, - and in other bloody battles of bygone days. Time is exacting its toll in the ranks of Spanish-Americaan War vet’ erans, Those who fought at San Juan, in Mindinao, at Passig City are graying. May of them have passed on. The others are passing fast! ; Veterans of the World War are reaching middle age. Belleau Wood, Soissons, Ypres, Meuse-Argonne are still vivid in their minds, but the years are rapidly slipping through the hour-glass of Time It won't be long before we can no longer march to the quick cadence of those younger men, the National Guard, who will defend America when and if the occasion requires or demands. Saturday-—Memorial Day—people will recall the debt they owe the military dead, those soldiers and sailors who gave their lives for the preservation of the nation. It is fitting also that Saturday should be a day when we honor the civilian dead—those who throughout their ~ upright lives made this country a better land in which to live. Let the cannon's rumbling ring in our ears! & Let the sordid picture of torn bodies and suffering souls be indelibly shmrd upon our memory! Let us recall the heart-rending cries of mothers, chil dren, sweethearts—bereft of their loved ones! Millions of dead on the battlefields! These things let us remember—LEST WE FORGET - THE BLASTING PRICE OF WAR! if we have hearts that beat—minds that think— WE MUST NOT FORGET Gussie Laile Morin and Staff Honored by Grand Army Ladies ~Gen. George Washington Circle, Ladies of the G. A. R., recently held a reception in honor of Department President Gussie Laile Morin and her staff of departmental officers.

Crossen of Tacoma, depart 4 GUSSIE MORIN ment commander o the Grand Army of the Republic aad his official staff, and Past Commander Rustan O. Reed of Seattle. Commander Crossen spoke on patriotism, “Patriots are born, not made,” he declared, “and a born patriot caanot be led astray.” He also stated that he had learn ed during his life that “if we love, work and do the right thing at the right time, we will be happy.” ' Commander Crossen urged every one to attend the Wenatchee con veation on June 22, 23, and 24. He at previous conventions held there, and of the fun had picking cherries told of the pleasant times had off the trees. 4 THANKS MEMBERS ~ The honor gnest of the mep-l tion, Gussie Laile Morin, thanked e members of the circle for t.hel %flm and reception. “I shall always remember this o casion as an outstanding day of my life” she sald.

THOMPSON CONSTABLES King County ?SBATTLB Q RUBBER STAMP CO. Humane Judge Proves That Boys Always Keep Faith “In 90 per cent of the juvenile cases handled by the courts today, it will be found that responsibility for the crimes committed rests up on the shoulders of the parents,” recently declared Judge Guy B. Knott, King County jurist, who has gained nation-wide attention for the humane way in which he deals with the juvenile delinquents brought be fore him. “It our state legislature would initiate laws with sufficient fore sight and tenacity to hold the par ents as well as the child responsi ble when a crime is committed, and contributory negligence on the part of the parents is proven, there would be far less crime in this state,” he said, “I look forward to the day when every court in the land dealing with juvenile problegs will bring before it the father and mother of each child charged with delinquency and explain in detail the form of pun ishment to be meted out to them in the event their children are found guilty of further delinquen cies. “If the child is to go tu jail, send the parents there! This might be the most effective way to stem juv enile delinquency and thus stop the arteries of crime which feeds the ranks of our dreaded public enemies today,” he concluded. REPORT REGULARLY A year or so ago we had occasion to interview Judge Knott in connec tion with certain of the boys he had on probation at that time. We were surprised to leara that thirty eight boys were reporting to him regularly, that they were keeping faith with the Judge, and that he stoutly maintained they would nev er again commit acts that would en mesh them in the toils of the law. “How many boys are reporting to you aow, Judge?” we asked, “Right now, sixty-eight are re porting regularly to me,” he replied, “and ALL OF THEM are going straight.” ‘ “Tell us about some of them, Judge. What did they do? What caused them to go wrong? What corrective measures were applied?” For over an hour we listened to this kind-hearted, sympathetic, un derstanding judge recite case after case of boys who, momentarily, had fallen from grace. They weren’t in herently bad, thos€ boys. It was just that, through an unfortunate chain of circumstances, they had violated the laws of society, been caught in the act and that society had de manded they pay the penalty. Jail wasn’'t the place for those boys. Jail, as every law enforcement of ficer in the country knows, is noth ing but a finishing school for erim inals. So Judge Knott applied the corrective measures he thought the cases merited. But let him tell his own story. CITES CASE “Take Boy No. 32, for instance (the Judge never mentions the names of the boys, although each is listed alphabetically in a neat looseleaf book), a 19-year-old boy charged in my court with petit larcency in December, 1934, His boon companion was another young chap about the same age. The two were wandering around Queen Axane Hill one evening and, in a spirit of mischief, todk a spare tire from a parked car. “The boys had no more use for. that tire than you have for two hats. It was old and worn and wouldn’t have brought a quarter on the open market. While each of the boys had a car, the tire wouldn’t fit either car. When I questioned them why they took it, the only thing they could say was, ‘I don’t know.’ “Under the circumstances, I didn’t feel justified in sending the boys to that school of crime known as the county jail. So I continued their case and instructed them to report to me each week. This was later extended to two weeks and still later to monthly. Those boyli certainly didn’t belong in the (:flm-i inal class.” | Here the judge paused a moment ' PECULIAR INCIDENT “A rather peculiar incident came | up in connection with this same boy,” he continued. “Prior to being charged in my court in December, HARTSOOK, INC. PHOTOGRAPHERS HOPPER-KELLY BUILDING 1419 Third Avenue MAin 9897 By CLINTON W. ROWLEY 1934, he had been picked up for reckless driving in July of the same year. Found guilty, he was sentenced to 30 days in jail and as sessed a SIOO fine and had his driver’s license revoked fo-r one ‘year, “Through an attorney furnished by his father, the lad appealed the case. For reasons unexplained, no ' JUDGE KNOTTT hearing on the appeal came up un til _March, 1935, some twenty months after his conviction and ‘sentence. - “During fifteen of those months, Boy No. 32 had reported to me reg ularly and faithfully, In the mean time, his father died and he became the sole support of his mother, The car was a necessity, since he lived some three miles from his work. “When the boy's case was heard on appeal, the circumstances were carefully explained to the court but, despite the evidence addueed and the loag period that had elapsed since his convicton, the lad was again sentenced to serve 30 days in jail and his driver's licease again revoked, ' ps “Thus the lad who kept faith with me for over a year, who was growing up to be an industrious, up right young man, was taken from his employment and a widowed mother was deprived of her sole means of support while her son spent 30 days mingling with crim inals of all sorts, from common drunks and drug addicts to safe crackers and whatnot. It wasn’t right!” And here the Judge pouad ed the desk, UNDERSTANDING NEEDED Many times since the boy was seutenced, the old song that Judge Knott learned as a boy in Sunday school ran through his minad. It is a song that, regardless of where or when or how it is sung, never loses its sweetness—“Thow Out the Life Line, Someone is Sinking Today.” He often wonders if the sincerity shown in the singing of that old song couldn’t be applied in a prac tical manner; if there isn't some one, somewhere, to throw out a line to hundreds of boys who can not help themselves, who are strug gling, floundering, grasping at straws, only to be engulfed in the Whirlpool of Crime.

"Having heard of Carter’s excep tional ability as a silver-tongued orator of the first water, Chair man James A, Farley of the Dem ocratic National Committee, recent ‘ly invited him to join the national speakers’ committee. The invitation was accepted and immediate assign ments will no doubt follow. Carter recently acted as keynoter at the Skagit County convention in Burlington, where he delivered one of his usual stirring and impressive addresses. Prior to that time he visited Spokane, Kelso, Aberdeen, Bellingham and many other cities in the interests of the Democratic party.

T. G. Novak. The proposed legislation, as ex plained by Novak, vould permit the Irafting of capi al and industry, vithout profit and »m an equal basis vith m a n-power n the event of var, Such legis ation, he s a id, vould recognize he fact that % “human life is l NOVAK more valuable than gold and that all citizens are under equal obligation when the safety and security of the nation are at stake.” NOT FAIR “It is neither fair nor proper to discriminate against the maa in uniform in time of war,” Novak declared. “In the World War, sold iers were paid $1 and $1.256 a day for armed service while civilian em ployees received many times that for their work in government ser vice, shipyards, munitions plants and in various other industries, as well as business.” The “universal coascription” prin eiple would also mitigate against war, Novak pointed out. He explain ed there is no doubt but that hos tilities frequently are aggravated or promoted by powerful forces for the sake of financial gain, To remove the profits from war would auto matically do away with one of the most powerful causative factors in war, he believes.
