Evasions and Anxieties.

A controversy is apparently to rage over the boy who the other day ran away from home, promptly found en- ployment, and started in to earn the independent living for which, he had decided, the time had come in his case. The father traced the wander CT, brought him back to his distracted mother, and, without punishing or ey- en criticising him severely, sent him back to school
 Some observers of this adventure see in it only the pain the boy caused to his parents, his inappreciation of educational advantages as the basis of career; others commend his en- terprise, his elf-confidence-his "spir- it.
 Accurate determination of whether this boy should be praised or blamed would demand fuller knowledge of the facts than can be obtained from the published accounts, but that boy, it is fairly safe enough to say, has some high qualities of character, and what seems to be his chief fault, in- consideration, is probably of his age rather than essential. He cannot be numbered of course, among the boys of whom it is sai that they never gave their mother a moments anx' iety." but that can be said of few boys perhaps of none, who in later life have proved that they were worth raising Presumably there, are no mothers who would not, if they could, protect their boys from all perils and tempta. tions., Their invariable failure to do so for boys mentally and physically active and competent is the inevitable and apparently necessary cause ot mstesaai ap4iety. shpt tast,fesling is not without It's adeQuats compensa. tions when the perils are escaped and the temptations .oyaEcome, The justification of the boy who runs away from home lies in the use he makes of his liberty and independ enCe;, Off-hand condemnation of him ; is almost certain to be undeserved.

HOUSE IS SHOCKED
BY GAYNOR'S DEATH
Causes Furry in the New York
Delegation in Connection
With MajoraIty Fight.

Aside from the surprise and regret
expressed by members OF the New
York delegation in Congress. the
death of Mayor Gaynor caused a
furry among New York members,
practically all Of whom have more or
less interest in the mayoralty fight in
the metropolis.
The leading lights among the Tam
many men" were out Of town, taking
advantage Of the lull attending the
currency debate in the House. but
when The Times telephoned tine news
Of Mayor Gaynor's death to the
various offices, private secretaries
spread the news quickly along the
corridors of the House office build
ing, and the comparatively few New
York members in the city were ap-
prised of the death Of New York's
mayor. which puts an entirely dif-
forent aspect on the political situa-
ton. ~.
Congressman Fitzgerald and Con-
gressman. Metz. conspicuous among
the so-called Tammany men in the
House, are in New York. Congress-
man Calder, Republican. and a party
ledueT III the OoTouBn OI Brooklyn, is
likewise in New York, where the
death of Mayor Gaynor will upset the
mayoralty program and bring a re-
alignment with the field now open
between the Fusionists and the Tam
mahyites.
Congressmen Goldfogle, Goulden and
Levy also are out Of the city, and
are understood to be in the metrop-
oils. and Congressman Lathrop
Brown, OF the Long leland district,
was said to be at his home.
Members of Congress generally were
shocked to hear Of Mayor Gaynor's
demise, but the political Significance
OF the unfortunate event was not for
gotten.
Divergent views are held among
politicians as to the effect Mayor
Gaynor's death will haye upon the
Mayoralty fight in New York city.
1t was argued on one hand that the
sudden end of the shovel candidate
camp raign" will redeund to the benefit
of Tammany Hall. On the other, pre-
dictions are made that the Fusionists
apd Republicans will benefit through
the Provide0tial taking away Of the
picturesque Independent candidate.
