NO MULE DROVES
MAYOR TEAGUE APPROVES COUN-
 CHS NEW ORDNANCE.
Animals Must Be Tied Together Before They Are Rushed Through The
 Streets of MOntgOm-

The mule ordinance. adopted by the City Council Wednesday night, has been approved by Mayor W. NJ. Teague.
 No more will hard tail animals. be seen in droves running wildly through the thoroughfares of Montgomery im- perilling the lives of pedestrions. for the City Council has seen fit to abate the nuisance. The Council took the action pursuant to the recommendation some time ago of Mayor Teague who strongly urged the regulation of the mule traffic in a communication ad- dressed to the cicy fathers.
 Mayor Teague was delighted to have a chance to sign his name to the measure on approval of the cause which he champioued.
 By the terms of the new ordinance, there will be no such thing as droVes of mules in the streets in the future. If they are driven through the streets in droves, the owners will be directly violating the ordinance. The mules must be taken through the streets in lots tied together and each lot must not contain more than six mules
 The citizens of Montgomery will be thankful for the wisdom of the Coun- oil and of the Mayor.

ing $4.546,32S year. This vast amount IS spent each year. MT. Tawney claims, solely for the purpose of making in- quiries into what should be done by the States themselves to large degree. The States are relinduishing much of their power to the Federal Government for the sole purpose of escaping the ex- pense of properly carrying on internal affairs.
 Much of the eentralization Is undoubt- edly due to the stand taken by the Pres ldent, who has openly advocated 1t in all his messages to Congress and so much so in his last message that 1t was characterized as "the most amazing pro- gram of standardization any Presidear ever submitted to Congress"
 In the Internal Revenue Bureau of the Treasury Department. which needs inspectors and special agents for the purpose of protecting 1t from fraud and to prevent the manufacture of illi- cit whiskey, there has been an increase Of only l3 per cent in the number of employees, although during the last years the internal revenues have in- creased some "A per cent
 The increase in the Department of Agriculture is 3S3 per cent From leO In 1896 the special employees have grown to 773 in 1908.
 In the Postoflce Department the in- spectors, special agents, etc., in mali depreciation cases show an increase of 1o9 per cent as to number. and 3s4 per cent as to amount appropriated.
 The information contained in the statement will be used by Mir. Tawnev In an effort to learn exactly what all these special agents are doing. and es- pecially in departments in which the increases are so noticeable.

 OF THE TRUANT OFFICER

too many peculiar or extenuating cir cumstances to warrant disposing of them according to hard and fast rules; and the officer must play the part of a just judge.
 The work of a truant officer begins when that of parent or guardian has apparently ended. For example, when the usual notice mailed to the home of child who has been absent from school is neglected. or when some un- satisfactory excuse is made, then the truant officer makes it his business to visit the child's home and investigate the case himself; and anyone who wishes to see East Side life as it real ly is, behind doors generally closed to all but officers in uniform, would find 1t instructive and interesting to &C., company the truant seeker on his daily rounds.
 First on his list today. say. is Rus sian-Jewish name that would bewilder the native eye and defy the native tongue. The officer goes down side street, crouches to enter a dilapidated four-story tenement house through low doorway. picks his way through dark entry and goes up the creaking stairs into an atmosphere composed of bad air and the odors from several kit chens. He knocks on one of the four doors on the landing at the head of the second flight of stairs. A middle-aged woman appears. and, placing her arms akimbo. regards him inquisitively He speaks to her in Yiddish, telling her who he is and what he wants and then she makes way for him meekly enough and mods towards the farther end of the room. It is a typical East Side room, acbut ten feet square, with window opening upon an air shaft, and with a table. q gas stove, and a couple of wooden chairs for furnishings. At the table sits a boy his cap on his head, an empty cup and a crust of bread before him. Evidently he has just had his breakfast.
 why aren't you at school?" the officer asks.
 The boy sulks an ddoes not answer. His mother explains that he won't go to school; neither will he go to work. He is only fourteen years old, but she has lost all control of him. His favor ite occupation is loafing around che streets with a gang of boys like him self His father has been hopelessly

blind for two years, and the mother has supported the family by taking in washing. Once she had hopes that her son would be help to her ;instead of that he Is hindrance. She explains why he cannot talk very well by de- scribing the beating his father had given him the day before for gam bling away her weeks earnings. She has done everything she could for him, she says. but now that he Is prov ing himself useless she would rather have him taken away. There IS no doubt In the officers mind that her story is true, and he makes arrange ments to come again the following day and have the boy committed to the truant school.
 The next case is entirely 'ifferent The boy, who is twelve years old, has been very irregular in his attendance at school. His mother explains that he can't go to school because he has no shoes and stockings There are three children altogether, two girls ana a boy The father is too sick to work but yet too stubborn to go to the hos7 pital The mother, in spite of heart trouble supports the family; she does the best she can, she says, but the children must take turns going to school, She can't give them all shoes and stockings: they must take turns. The boy wants to go to school ana when he has shoes and stockings he always does go.
 Now the law says that the boy must 20 to school until he is fourteen years old and makes no allowances for lack of shoes or stockings; so what Is to be done in this case? The officer promises to see that one of the charity organi- cations will keep the boy supplied with necessary articles of clothing until he is old enough to be legally at work Ha has in his pocket summons re- ouirine the boy to appear in the Fhild- ren's Court to answer a complaint of truancy, but the summons remains unserved Extenuating circumstances cover this case. and unintelligent or un- svmpathetic action on the part Of the officer would simply make matters worse. The officer knows what to do' and as q consequence he makes his way down stairs followed by the thanks oi inc poor little boys family.
 But there are not always extenuating circumstances. The next name upon inc officers list is that of boy vho told his teacher that the family was so- ing to move and that he would nave |" go to another school Accordihg 10 the rule. he gladly supplied the teacher win his new address: but he failed to report at the new school, which was against the rule. The truant ohcer was suspicious from the moment ne took up the case; and probably he was not surprised when he found that the address given by the boy was an East River lumber yard. The ot1cer had 10 drop the case, but he did so with the conviction that sooner or later either he or some other pursuer of truants

 Next the officer stopped at little butcher shop. The butcher was en- gagged in shaving an East Side peer steak from an uptown beefsteak.
 "Where's Adolph?' said the officer.
 "Oh, he no good" returned the man. He run away-go to Society. can get him back"
 It happens in this case that Adolph has done precisely what the othcer hao intended to do for him. Adolph Is an orphan, his parents iTlving died in the old country; and his uncle. the outch- : CT, thought nothing of keeping him at work from three o'clock In the morn ing until eight or nine o'clock at night To be sure, he complied with the law to the extent of requiring Adolph to go to school during the day, but after llttie experience with his uncle, Adoiph had probably decided that the "institution would no doubt prove comparatively pleasant place.
 Of course, much depends upon the character of the institution. There are still some truant schools whose old- fashioned methods effect hardly any change in the wayward or neglected

 One of the graduates of the Juvenile AsvIttnn is a prominent Western citizen who. at the present time is a candidate for one of the most important offices in the State where he resides. Paradoxi- cal as if may seem, he got his start in life bv stealing fruit from cart in the East Side of New York. He was then inst such a little raider as the truant officer captures every day, but the Asy- Ium, together with the influence or a good home in the State where he Is now a leader brought out the real character of the man, and in the opin- ion of the truant officer there are many other little raiders of the same sort still eluding detection In the Metropo- lis.
