had been made, and that there was
no reason why it should be declared
nuisance. The defendant further
stated that between $1,000 and S.

Leaders Who Play Safe.
There are several gangs in New

thousand. but more and more the
men at the head of them keep their
hands free of actual crime. The lead

Field for Boy Scouts.
Only one organization really seems
to be properly equipped for attracting
to itself the boys who but for its exist

and that is the Boy Scouts. 1t is lust
the kind of thing that appeals to high
spirited boys and ii is doing a most
wonderful work in making them into
manly youths who will grow up to be
good and useful citizens. There is a
striking sameness about the gangster's
unwritten code and the laws of the
scouts.
Thou shalt not squeal." is the first
law OF the gangster. The gangster's
honor is to be trusted in gangdom. The
first law of the Boy Scouts is "A
scouts honor is to be trusted" If he
breaks his honor by telling a lie he
ceases to be scout. If the gangster
squeals the penalty is death.
Next to not squealing, the law of the
gang is that its members shall be
'hunky." scouts second law is low
atty to his country and his friends.
He must stick to them through thick
and thin against anyone who is their
enemy" And SO on. A scout must be
brave and daring and must obey or
ders without question and he must
never sulk. All Of which things are
expected of the gangster.

Beauty of Cities Has Cash Value.

a decision which should be of spe-
cial interest to San Franciscans. per.
picked rs to the billboard problem
has just been handed down by the ap-
pellate court division of the New
York courts. says the San Francisco
Chronicle. A construction company
has unnecessarily destroyed several
shade trees on a city street, and the
lower court had mulcted IL In damages
TO the extent OF $500 for each tree
destroyed. and 81 900 in addition for
Willful destruction of aids to civic
beauty. The bearing OF this decision
on the billboard problem is seen in
the new conception of beauty as a civ
ic asset. view OF the local difficulty
so often lost sight Of In uphoding
the award, the appellate court stated
that 1t looked not so much at the com
mercial worth of the trees as at their
asthetic value, which. it considered,
was the more important OF the two.
The decision is without precedent. but
1t is Al striking Illustration of the new
idea as to the Importance of civic
beauty, not only for asthetic but for
commercial reasons.

Although it IL literally true that
there are in New York today dozens of
gangs and thousands of gangsters. the
great majority are without real stand
ing in the underworld. At conserva-
tive estimate there are, however. from
twenty to twenty-five recognized
gangs, with membership in excess of
1000 men, from which politicians and
gamblers and others requiring their
services can get thugs, repeaters and
strong-arm men for any purpose. from
carrying an election or breaking n

you are properly vouched for to the

The man with the big pull is al
ways politician or gambler, writes
Henry N. Hall in the Sunday New
York World. The politicians alliance
with the gangster is as close today,
If not as open. as when district
leader on the eve of an important cleo
ton gave an interview to newspaper
men with one foot on box from which
his lieutenants were distributing 500
lead-loaded blackjacks TO "the boys"
for use the next day, or when a politi-
cal leader-now one of New York's
most distinguished representatives in
the congress of the United States

der oath that Monk" Eastman was a
reputable business man and an other
wise desirable citizen.
Difficult Problem.
There is no more difficult problem
in American civic life today than the
elimination OF the gang. There are
three reasons for this The first is
that the American public is Indifferent
to crime. There is no place in the
world where the man in the street who
goes about his own business and keeps
clear OF the underworld is as safe in
his person as he is here, and the
result is that unless he himself, or
some one he knows personally, is the
victim of crime, he reads about these
things in the paper with an interested
complacency not unlike the feelings he
derives from thrilling moving picture
show. Gangs, 3angsters, Black Hand
crimes and bomb outrages are accept
ed as among the things incidental to
life in big city. and it is impossible
to arouse anything like public indig-
nation over their presence
The second reason is that the inter
ests to which the gangs are useful
the politicians, the gamblers and those
who grow rich in the underworld-are
80 powerful that they are able TO pro-
tect those who are of service to them
1t is only in exceptional cases, when
public feeling is outraged by some

CITY AND SUBURBS ARE ONE
Philadelphia Has Recognized Truth Of
This and is Making Its Plans
Accordingly.

Governor Tener Of PENNSYLVANIA has
selected very strong commission to
carry out the idea of the law passed
by the last legislature to plan the de-
velopment of the Philadelphia suburbs.
In the course of time the incorpora-
tion of these suburbs with the city is
inevitable Even as 1t is they are
part of the metropolitan district. their
interests and associations are with
the city and it is only sensible that
the city plan and suburban plans
should match and supplement each
other. An attractive city invites resi-
dents and keeps them. The planned
city is not fad. 1t is Il science
that has taken firm root in America
and good rsults have been manifested
from IT in older countries. England
Is building many model villages. In
Germany cities which few years ago
were dump heaps of grimy Industrial
ism have been transformed without
the least interference with business
activity and to the benefit OF the pub
lie at large. Boston. Chicago and New
York have caught the artistic spirit
as is seen In the magnificent ap-
proaches and terminals recently con-
structed Philadelphia is behind none
OF these in its civic vigilance, and the
opportunity to make the greater me-
tropolis second to none in its green
