A PRACTICE THAT rYuuoATEs rHrEvING.

TO tho Editor OF Tho Tribune
Sir There is evil practscd I'm our city which
I think ought 10 be corrected. We read In the papers
Of "boy thieves" and "boy burglars Well we
educate them TO be Such or rather, we allow tho
BOYS to educate themselves For several days before
any election the boys steal every ashbarrcl they
can lay hands on. They look. and when no one
Is watching they catch the barrel and run. VI
course 1t means a bonfire OIL the evening Of the day
Of election Now the loss TO individual hosehodcrs
Is trining but the bad moral effect upon the boys
IS very great They are learning 10 become thieves.
Just as the twig Is bent, the trees Inclined When
he bow grows mp and continues the evil practice wo
have allowed we arrest and put him In the state
Prison. -, 49,, -. H.
This evil should be nlpped In the bud Lot the
poic be instructed ~ arrest every boy cnuSht steal
ing an aslbaiIcl aud let the magistrate impose
small fine which the paleutS would nave 10 pay.
Bnt better than all, let the city authorities pass an
ordinance forbldding all bOnircs In the streets on the
evening of election day. Let these things be thor,
oughly ventilated in the papers, and the evl would
