To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
AS 50 much has been said in the papers
against the so-called huckster nuisance. will
you permit me, as one of the hucksters to
say a few words on the other side? AS Mr.
Dodge says in Tuesdays issue. there are
abundant railroad facilities and enough
markets. But unfortunately there are many
people in Washington who have to watch
their pennies, and until the railroad ride is
free and the lady of the house can go out
without change of dress she will probably
patronize the huckster who pays the Dis
trict a license fee and is entitled to a little
protection under the law. AS to the crying
OUT nuisance, the busy housewife simply
listens. If she needs any of the goods men,
toned she comes to the door, examines
goods and prices, and If satisfied buys; the
huckster goes on his way and the transac-
ton is ended. Now, abate the crying OUT
nuisance and what is the result to the
housekeeper? Simply that her doorbell
would be rung SO many times in a day by
hucksters, Industrious insurance men "a
greater nuisance than the hucksters now)
and a hundred others that she would have
to hire some one to do nothing but attend
the door. Of two evils choose the lesser.
and remember that what is nuisance to
some objectors is sometimes a blessing to
the overyorked mother with five or six
little ones to care for, who. Notwithstanding
the fine railroad facilities. markets, etc,
finds it impossible to get there. Nc.

YOUTHFUL VIOLATORs.
Plan of Police Chief for Retirement of
COnditIOns

conditions.
Major Sylvester's methods of dealing with
youthful violators of the law have had the
effect of reducing the number of arrests of
children for infractions of the municioaI
ordinances, although boys are arrested from
time to time for more serious offenses.
Soon after Major Sylvester took charge of
the police department the problem Of what
to do with children confronted him. He
knew number of unnecessary arrests were
being made, and he set about to put a stop
to the practice and correct the conduct
of the young in some way other than
by taking them into court. Directing
also to putting children in ordinary DO
lice cells, because of the i'll effects, Ma
jor Sylvester, among other things, sug-
gested that instead of being treated as or
dinary criminals the boys arrested should
be held in witness rooms. The parents of
the lads the major thought, could inflict
more effective punishment in most cases
than could the judges of the Police Court
Carrying out the ideas of their superintend-
ent. the policemen have been reporting the
misconduct of the youths to their parents
and their work is bearing fruit. At this
indoors for many months. the boys, it is
said, have been in the habit in previous
years of annoying citizens and committing
violations of the several ordinances by
throwing stones, playing dangerous games
on the streets and similar offenses, and
many arrests followed. There has been a
noticeable change in their conduct this
spring, it is declared, and very few arrests
for such oHenSeS have been made.

Condition of the Parks.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t has been observed with much regret, that
all the parks and public grounds. like those
about the Executive Mansion, show great
lack of proper care. The flowers, 1t is true.
are beautiful and abundant. but the grounds
themselves present very unkempt appear
ance. There are great tufts of rank grass,
garlic and countless weeds, and in many
places great patches Of bare earth; the flow
er beds and paths are untrimmed and alto
gether. things look very much neglected.
Certainly in the national capital where
there are such great possibilities and where
everything should be in the highest state of
perfection. there should be no room for
such adverse criticism. Who is responsible? =?
1t is hoped that steps will be taken to i'm
prove the present condition.
