"My country, right or wrong" may

SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT BOY
BANDITS.

1ENN1AASH
In a little while Neldermeler, Marx
and Van Dine will be killed by the
law, and that will be the end of the
Chicago car.barn bandits.
They are boys.
II Is difficult to make the average
boy think Of the future. II he is wild,
a street rover. a product Of bad books
and lax home regulations, he is pretty
apt to sneer at anything that smacks
Of preaching, Every city has many
too ~many-bad boys. Perhaps few
of them will ever shed human blood,
but there is no doubt that they are
travelling the same thoroughfare that
these Chicago youths have travelled,
and II they go far enough they will
find the gallows casting a CHASTITY
shadow across the road.
What Is to be done?
The problem is as great as the prob
lem of existence. There never was
and there never will be a set of rules
that will stop crime.
But the fathers and mothers must
know that the first responsibility Is
theirs. They can not afford to neglect
their children. The sequel to neglect
is tears and sorrow.
If home Is not pleasant, there are
streets. The boy who Is driven there
for his company finds It. He also finds
cigarettes and whisky and profanity.
He finds the society that makes Jesse
James a saint and Deadwood Dick a
martyr. He smashes windows and
destroys property; he steals rides
on the street cars.
He is as familiar with dark alleys
and hiding places as a rat Is with its
hole; and as he grows tougher and
tougher he glories in IL. He isn't really
happy until he makes converts. He
wants other boys to be bad. His
mother cries over him, and his father
Is too busy, or too careless. TO get TO
the heart OF things, and realize that
his boy has gotten away from him.
There are rules at home. often
they consist mostly OF "DONTS.'
Don't make a %noise;" don't touch
the plano" don't whistler" don't
muss up the room % go to church or
take a licking; don't join a ball

TO one" don't visit the nelghbor's
boy, and don't hiring them home with
you, because Il is annoyiug;" don't
play football, because Il is too rough.
There are other don'ts. Apply them
with enough severity and you con
make a sneak and a liar out of a prom.
