have less complaints 'phoned in to
police headquarters because a bunch
of youngsters have started game of
baseball on a vacant lot.
On Saturday, so many kids
Can find no place at all
To congregate and spend their time
And have a game of ball.
The men who own the lots, of course,
Were kids themselves. Tell us,
Why they don't let us play without
Making such a fuss?

BOYS AND THE LAW

DSIO HIND I1E LAW
Dear Mr.. Cochran:-In regard to
your editorial on the necessity of boys
having place to play. l can corrob-
crate much that the boy who wrote
to you said, because have spent con-
siderable time in the Boys Court, and
have seen many patches of boys. five,
six and seven at a time. brought in
there by police officer for no other
apparent reason than that they had
been on the street
"These boys hang around the
neighborhood," the officer will say,
land we have warned them to keep
away" No evidence is offered that
the boys did anything harmful, but
when Judge Scully refuses to hold
them or fine them the officer will say:
Your honor, please order these boys
to keep off that street"
In one case a batch of boys were
brought in by the lieutenant of the
district, who said that some one had
thrown brick at a policeman. The
policeman didn't see who threw the
brick, and the boys who were ar
rested were taken in half an hour
after the episode, yet when they we're
released for lack of evidence. the lieu
tenant said: Your honor, tell these
boys to keep off of that corner, be-
cause have ordered my men to run
them in whenever they see them"
Surely we are not teaching the
young generation to have anV reSDect
for the law when its officers crafty
whim to arrest boys who have been
guilty of no crime. And the rebellious
anger in the faces of boys arrested
unjustlF shows just how little more
it would take to make them openly
contemptuous toward the force they
have been taught to fear. AID.
WHY DON'T THEY?

1.-THE OLD FOLKS FORGET"
Editor Day Book:-T read the item
in The Day Book June on boys
hanging around the corner. 1 wish
to have little say in this matter my
self.
One letter you printed was in re-
CARDS to boys ranging from the age
of IA to 16 years of age being on cor
ners insulting ladies and taking
money away from small boys, shoot
ing craps, etc. Now l was raised in
a very bad neighborhood. I've never
witnessed anything like that. You
take the small boy; he works all day
and comes home, eats his dinner,
reads awhile and then goes out.
He may not have any money to at
tend show, whether it is the movies
or not. If he is of age and goes in
saloon the people will call him a
saloon bum. If he goes to pool
room he is considered the same. Now
the question before the public is,
what will young boy do. Here is a
suggestion:
Why not have a few public schools
open for that purpose. l know the
people would not hinder these young
boys pleasure in regards to a few
pennies more on their taxes.
Some people forget they were
young themselves once. They forget
when they used to hang around cor
ners. They forget when they used to
steal their neighbors' gate or fence
on Halloween night. Then they
knock young boys pleasure. What
are they going to do?.
