Daily Good Turn, Basis of Scouting Has Great Influence on the Boys

There are over thirty thousand People In Hammond. Suppose that on some certain day every person in Hammond agreed to do a good turn dally for a period of at least a week, or in other words to do something for somebody else which they did not expect. It would etretch any person's imagination to endeavor to forsee the result. Hammond would b a wonderful place to live in. Every boy who becomes a Boy Scout agrees to do his best to do a Koort turn daily. Naturally, a boy's ideas of g-ood turns are not always

so advanced as an adult's, but it is , surprising: to see how really sincere most of their good turns are. If they were encouraged by their elders to continue these good turns, and appreciation shown for the good turns when they were done, it would mean many more good turns. Any 'y who conscientiously does his

good turns is laying the foundation for being an unselfish citizen." Has any othr Jboy .organization ever laid down such an ideal for unselfish service? WARDEN EXPRESSES VIEWS The Warden of the California state prison at San Quentin, J. A. Johnston has been looking into the sources of the population of that institution and believes he has found the most prolific source in neglected boyhood. "More than half of those at this prison are under thirty years of age," he says, "and about onethird are under twenty-six years, while a great many of them, several hundred in fact, are in their teens. When you take such figures into account in conjunction with the extreme youth of those In the reform schools, it is borne in on one that youth is the time of leaderlessness, and that criminal tendencies assert themselves early in life."

BOYS XEED LEADERS. "Leaderless" boys have been hooked up with the devil before this in the well-known warning "Satan still finds work for Idle hands to do." Warden Johnston has a very positive opinion on how to attack this problem. He says: "The greatest importance attaches to correct training and the instilling of right ideas as to social obligations at the

It Is the concern of the men who are leading the Boy Scouts of America to extend the boy scout training to more boys in all situations of life. Some phases of the boy scout program are carried on so quietly, the general public docs not realize the wide range of activities to which these boys apply themselves. In going afer the coveted Eagle rank, the highest attainable by a boy, scouts must pass quite difficult tests In twenty-one out of seventy-one vocational studies. Most of these studies are utilitarian in character and call for the aid of professional men and skilled workman.

Answers Wm. Kelly. Editor Times: The party who signs "Wm,- Kelly" to an article in your -paper under "Voice of the People" in relation to a candidate tor Township Assessor is not a tax payer and cannot be located as a resident of North township. The article is inspired and Is full of misstatements, made intentionally or through ignorance, to mislead the oters. The Township Assessor has nothing to do with the tax rate and therefore cannot raise or lower taxes. Before James Clements was elected Township Assessor there never was a system in North township for assessing property. Favored property owners were not assessed or were assessed ridiculously low, while the tax payer without influence of pull was made to bear the burden. Mr. Clements has tried to carry out the Jaw and assess all property lairly, the assessed valuation has had nothing to do with the tax rate, and Mr. Clements has had no part in fixing the tax levies made by the different cities. Tax payers must be careful that the gang that controlled the assessment of property In North township for sixteen years does not get back In power. Four years ago every dishonest scheme possible was used to defeat Mr. Clements Jn the primary without avail, and the same tactics may be tried again. Tax payers have received fair treatment at the hands' of Mr. Clements and he has treated all alike. The state tax bodies who have supervised the work of Mr. Clements have stated repeatedly that no township assessor in Indiana has a better system or conducts his office more in the interest of the tax payer than Mr, Clements. Thei why not give him a second term and thus commend an honest and efficient official. E. Vf. WICKET. 4504 Baring ave.. East Chicago.
