With the expectation that the postal
service will continue to be self-sustain-
ing, the postal item of 1927 1855, l64 will
be deducted as it is returned to the treas
ury from postal earnings, leaving the ac-
tual total of expenditures at 793,4l9,970.
As there is such a comparatively small
change in the estimates, there is also
comparatively little change in the items
of fixed charges and new estimates for
expenditures have been reduced to the
minimum. While the rule is one of re-
auctions. the army and navy establish
ments alone show increases OF any note.
The army estimate is increased to Sl0h,
S66,s50 as against a current appropria-
ton of Sl0l ,977 500; the naval estimate
is Sl42.6l9,033 against a current appro-
priation of Sl4l ,3032l7
Estimates for the legislative esta blish-
ment include salaries and expenses of
Congress. The executive estimates in
clude the president, vice president and
the civil service commission. Practically
no changes are shown there.
In the state department the only
changes are some slight increases in sal
aries, in contingent expenses for the d.
plomatc and consular service growing
out of the Mexican situation and the Eu-
ropean war.
In the treasury department the ex-
pense of collecting the income tax is es-
timated at 81 100000, decrease of $780,
600. Estimates are presented for MAIN
tanning the western minis and assay Of
fees, against which each session of Con-
gress brings a fight.

item is one of S3.0O0.000 for an agricul-
tural census, 81, 493 500 is asked for light

is estimated for investigating costs Of
production, and 100000 is estimated for

the amount appropriated last year.

though personally I'll admit l have
looked the other way thousand
times rather than chase the boys for
doing what l have done mysef-in
fact, I've taken o ffmy coat and play
ed with them. -
Now, here is the real cause.-The
secret" why the boys are chased.
Some measly little crank of a man,
or some clothes-fine fighting woman,
both of whom never had children,
and never will, calls up the police
station and makes such a howl that
the desk sergeant is compelled to
send policeman to stop the boys.
If he didn't do it it would mean the
trial board" Because you must not
forget that the crank is always on the
job watching for the cop and if he
fails to show up the chief is called
on the phone or written a letter
about it.
l have had to chase my own kids
and their pals, and make a crank old
dame believe 1 felt exhausted from
chasing them.
So don't blame the police for chas-
ing boys-we are blamed enough. we
are the goats.
Blame your city fathers, blame
your laws, your ordinances. Blame
your dull-witted or don't-care-a-dam
clergy that ought to have a gymna-
SUM and playground connected with
every church and school, if they real
ly represented God and had the well
fare of the boys at chart, instead of
their own comfort
To me-a policeman-chasing boys
from playing is a sin, crime, and a
curse. 1t is filing our jails. Police
me nknow it. But what can we do?
Kindly place the blame where it be-
longs. Tell the boys the truth, that
the cop is not to blame. For, next to-
being square with my God, wish to
be on the square with the boys

boy who is strong and healthy, but
is run off the street with his play
mates wit hno place to go except
home or the poolrooms and ice cream
parlors.
No one immediate issue is bigger
than this.
If anybody should ask me where
the gunner, thieves and ballot-box
petty election crooks of Chicago
come from, would guess first of all
that they come from those boys who
never had a chance to grow and de-
velop in healthy way.
Take an "aney rat" boy forced to
play two-oP-cat in an alley, because
there are no Fairgrounds anywhere
near him, or take any boy who..is
chased off first one place and then
another where he tries to play, and
the school or the churches or the re-
formers will have harder time do
ing anything with that boy than they
will with a boy who has plenty of
room.
A while ago l heard of case that
proves this whole point. A boy lived
over on the West Side in crowded
district, and the only place to play
was in the alleys. He was run off
the streets. There were no vacant
lots free. And it was too far and it
cost car fare to go to playground.
The boy stole and was sent to Pom
tiac. He came back to the same
neighborhood. He stole again and
went to Pontiac. He developed into
a first-class little crook, always on
the lookout for excitement and plum
der.
Then the family moved to a fiat
near Jackson Park. For the first time
in his life the boy had all the room he
wanted to run and jump and play
leapfrog and wrestle where there was
real grass.
He has never been to Pontiac since.
