GEORGE EXPLAINS
JUNIOR REPUBLIC
Founder of Juvenile Colonies
Tells Teachers How the
Work Succeeds
OAKLAND. March 7.—The teachers of
the high schools and grammar grades
of the city thronged Chabot hall this
afternoon to hear William R. George
tell of the work of the Junior Republic,
which he is the founder. They were
loth to let him close his address and
begged for the story of Paddy O'Brien,
the famous football player and Albany
attorney, who rose from the slums.
George did not follow a formal ad
dress, but simply told how young peo
ple between the ages of 16 and 21 years
solved their own problems. At the
close of his story he gave the audience
an opportunity to ask questions that
developed an interesting study of soci
ology.
"What authority do we have?" asked
George. "I do not know. We just do
things, and the boy officials are recog
nized and their authority respected
everywhere. The secret of the whole
business is that full responsibility is
given those who come to us. The
trouble with boys of 16 in the cities is
that they are not recognized as citizens.
But a boy of 16 is no infant and needs
some sort of civil standing. I do not
advocate placing suffrage at that age,
but it might not do much harm to name
it at 18.
"The children come, to the republic
with only their heads and brains, and
tmsy must work. They are taught
trades and educated. They govern
themselves absolutely through their
own officers. Formerly only offenders
of the law were admitted as citizens,
but the plan has developed to admit all
children for whom there is room. In
Chino, in southern California, an inter
esting colony of young people has been
started. Seven republics are in exist
ence and ultimately there will be one
in each state in the union. This spring
a similar work will be planted in Eng
land."
This evening, in the auditorium of the
First Congregational church, "Daddy
George." as he is known in his villages,
went more largely into the detail of
the work, giving full play to the humor
and pathos of the young folk with
whom he has come in contact since the
first republic at Freeville was estab
lished in lSSri.
WHEN BABY CRIES
BURGLAR "BEATS IT"
"Police Never Get Anybody, Ex-
cept by Accident"
BPQKANK, "Wash.. March 7.—Anti
rare suicide is the best protection
against burglars, a<-<-r>rdinp to .Tames
Burke, now under arrest at Missoula.
Mont., who confessed to the robbery of
$11.0f>0 in jewels from the Thatcher
residence at Pueblo. Colo., and the theft
of gems worth $5,000 from B. L. Gordon
of Spokane.
"Babies are better than watchdogs
or the police." 6aid Burke to Gordon,
who returned from Montana today with
a portion of the recovered jewel?.
"TVnen the baby begins to cry, the
burglar beats it.' The police never get
anybody except by accident. The day
after T robbed the Gordon house, I
walked down the street in Spokane
with Detective Chester Edwards and
another policeman and discussed the
robbery with them."
Gordon recovered about $500 worth
of jewels from Burke, who also told
him where more of his loot was hid
den in Spokane, which also has been
recovered.
Burke told Gordon that he paused un
der the name of Fred C. Lang and
stopped at. the best hotels while operat
ing in Spokane. He declared that an
advertisement in the newspaper is
more effective in recovering stolen
goods than all the detectives In the
country. "We only pet about 2 or 3
per cent of the value of the goods any
how," he said, "and we would just as
soon deal with the owner at those fig
ures as with a "fence." "

Law Against Cigarette Smoking
Is Proposed
LOS ANGELES, March 7.—An anti
cigarette bill to be introduced in the
next session of the California legisla
ture Has been drafted by E. J. Lickley,
director of compulsory education and
supervisor of special schools in Los An
geles.
The bill would prevent selling, pos
sessing, smoking or giving away cigar
ettes among adults as well as minors,
and was designed by Lickley as part
of his campaign to facilitate the refor
mation of boys in the Los Angeles
truant school?.
"Boys smoke because men smoke,"
he said. "Therefore, to prevent men
smoking cigarettes will be the first step
toward stopping the boys."
Mrs. R. L. Craig, the only woman
member of the Los Angeles board of
education, said today that she would
go to Sacramento in the interest of
the bill if Lickley presented it.
