against the boys few blocks up for the
very same reasons and impulses that
moved the New England Mayor to revel
in an attack on the crowd from the Val
ley.
It is from these gangs that the gum
men are picked. The gangs are the
squads: the gunner the varsity. And
for all their sanguinary names they are
nothing but boys, little brown-eyed boys
whose boyhood has run amuck.
1t is here that there ceases to be any
appreciate parallel between your boy
and Red Jack" To Red, brought up
in surroundings where a concealed re-
volver is sign of authority and its use
a matter for laudable agility and cum
ming such a means of expression of per-
sonal dislike is not so inconceivable as
it would be to your boy, brought up in
the horror of taking human life.
And perhaps, even under such favor
able conditions, your boy might expert
ence a certain thrill of delight at the
feeling Of a revolver in his hip pocket
and the knowledge that he was expert
III its use at--let us say-chippie spar
rows. And even you yourself perhaps
find bit of fascination in the snug fit
of gun butt in the palm of your hand
and the resistance of the trigger against
your crooked finger.
OF course, you wouldn't shoot it at
any one, because your whole moral fibre,
strengthened through years of refining
influences, would revolt at such an act
But the boy Of the streets, with keen
imagination running its galvanizing cur
rent through the wrong wires in his
system, may snuff out an existence at
the muzzle of gun with the same
sang trOid with which thousands of cul-
tivated gentlemen are to-day snufiing
out existences in the trenches opposite
simply because they see uniforms of a
different color than their own.
No one, unless he is mentally de-
ranged, commits crime without discov-
ering for himself an extenuating cir
cumstance, weak as it may be. which
allows him to say to himself: I'm the
abstract this thing may be wrong, but

made law that comes between him and
the following of his ideal.
Little Eddie Horowitz may have heard
of these celebrities, but by far the
greater stress of his education in hero
worship has been laid on the character
istics and feats of the leader of the gang
in his block. The lad of the East Side is
turned out for his stimulus to the street
in front of his tenement. He hears the
praises sung Of "Red Jack" and ED the
Rat" who, in their turn, are nothing
more than older boys who have attained
their appalling titles through assiduous
emulation of their predecessors in office.
The boy joins in with that neighborhood
spirit which collects all the boys in that
vicinity in a concentrated animosity

TRESPASS" SIGNS.

But sources are discouraging things
to find, and, after all, the source Of gum
men and gangsters must be a particu-
larly incorrigible one. A man who would
commit murder in cold blood must
spring from a soil so exotic that for us
to delve about in it for causes and
sources would do him little good and
could not be other than depressing
for us.
But before dismissing the matter at
this satisfactory conclusion and turn
ing on to the story of the terrible con-
ditions in ireland, Just forget the gun
men for a little while; forget that there

daring of Confederate scout and the
agility of Frank Fearless, the Boy Trap
per. The gustatory enjoyment derived
from the apples (Which we're, ten to one,
hard and sour) is as nothing compared
to the imaginative eXhilaration OF Climb
ing the fence, the breathless dash for
the worthless prize under the very guns
of the enemy, and the perilous escape
down the street.
Old Peter Pitts, when he chased you
from his nasturtium bed, did not APP
peal to you as householder in the just
execution of his prerogatives, which ne
undeniably was. To you he was some
old hermit who ate children or perhaps
ran a counterfeiting machine in that
back room where the blinds were always

T>VERY once in so often residents
X, of the civilized belt of this coun-
- try are shocked to read that a
few young men have been electrocuted
for participating in a gang-killing. The
consensus of breakfast table opinion
that morning is that 'it dOsn't seem
right" and. in fact, great many good
people write letters to the newspapers
about it.
Then something occurs across the
ocean which, of course, takes precedence
in our attention, and we are kept so busy
deciding what Germany ought to Go
with Belgium, or how the Mexican peo-
pie are ever to be made law-abiding and
contented like our own fellow citizens,
that the little affair at Sing Sing is filed
under General Conditions"
This is not an argument for or against
capital punishment. Discussion on the
Justice and efficacy Of that institution
should be left until it is too late to pre-
vent it. But there must be some way
of getting at these boys, these gunner,
before they make their appearance in
the soft gray prison shirts with Sits up
the side of one trouser leg, stumbling
across the threshold of the lighthouse.
There might be such thing as taking
them at their source.

is any such thing as the criminal, and
think back ten, twenty or fifty years TO
the time when you were at the large
front-tooth period Of adolescence. You
weren't a bad boy. You were nice to
YOUR mother and you had a mumbllng
acquaintance with the books OF the Ola
Testament. And, anyway, see what a
good man you turned out to be!
But now and again you might have
been persuade to shiny over Old Bar
ker's fence and collect a blouse full of his
"greenin's," mightn't you? And you
have been known to openly defy mo
Trespass" sign, simply because 1t was
so posted, and for the express purpose
of getting "chase" from the irate pro-
prietor, who never failed to furnish the
craved excitement.
Furthermore, if you lived in smaller
city or town, and were not abnormally
confined by disease or super-sollcltous
parents, you and the fellers in your
neighborhood cherished hearty AMI
mostly for the crowd con the HILL OF
"over the tracks," or some such con-
tiguous district.

LUCKILY YOUR BOY HAS AN IN
HERITED MORAL SENSE TO
FALL BACK UPON.

begins 70 utilize MS inherited anu 8Idu-
ualy acquired powers Of moral reason
ing enough to realize what is essentially
right and what is essentially wrong,
while Red, having no very powerful in
herited appreciation for the finer points
of ethics and no effective training at all
therein, continues in the way he has
started. The gang has grown older; the
coveted gun has been acquired and
proudly concealed his disregard for con-
vention, which was at first so ingenious,
has developed into a vicious disregard
for, first, the law, next the principles
behind the law, and finally for every
thing in general which does not cater to
the satisfaction of his immediate inter-
ests. He courts the distinction of being
"a bad man." because in his eyes "a
bad man" is hero.
An acquaintance of mine is Johno,
aged ten, and of the stuff from which
gunner are made. We are both men,
bers of the same club.
At the last meeting asked Johno if
he would be with us next week.
Sure" he replied, "if don't get
sent up"
you sent up?" asked. What would
they send you up for?"
Johno is four feet seven and has
cherubic pair of brown eyes.
"Oh, | dunno. Yer never can tell"
was his proud speculation, much as a
schoolboy might let fall hint that he
was in a fair way to make the regular
team, although far be it from him to
boast.
And yet Johno is one of the first boys
in that club that | would trust with
personal mission; he is, as material the
most promising of the lot. In fact, l
would place Johno up with any young
ster in Central Park West for keenness,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-07-23

attractiveness, and, yes, essential hon.
esty. Whatever JohnO may do when ne
gets his gun will be the result OF d.
vorce of his morality from his under
standing of the law; it will be because
that live imagination which renders him
so attractive now has been shunted off
to a circuit which ends in violence. And
yet, to his last night out Of jail, would
trust Johno with my money and my
life. That's the kind of boy | believe
Johno is.
Just now, it wouldn't take so much
of some ones valuable time to make !.
possible for things to be different. Il
he and his brothers could be taken and
lifted out of that environment for
couple of years and set to doing some
thing useful with that energy, or to the
creation of something real with that
imagination, they could be turned from
being the best Of gunner into the most
valuable of citizens.

Of course, there is the knowledge that
the law forbids the taking of human LIE.
But what is the law to the boy? A blue
coated cop, sometimes himself OF doubt
full reputation, who is impatient with the
foibles of boys and tolerant with the
crimes of men. The law forbids ball
playing in the street, and the boy in his
own heart knows that there is no harm
in ball playing itself, and if not IN the
street, then where? The law to him is a
bother, and as such has little majesty.
1t is a blanket prohibition against life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and
therefore an impeachment to be avoided
and evaded as often as possible.
The gamin who steals apples from a
pushcart is no more of a vicious law
breaker than is your boy when ne steals
apples from private property. The
small boys of the East Side gang are no
more of a menace at that stage of their
development than were those that made
up the honorable Mayors coterie.

BOYS COULD DEVELOP SLUM

CITIZENS.

There is something in the idea OF
universal and compulsory military train
ing for the youth of the country thai
embodies just what is needed for Johno
There is also something in it that would
not be so valuable. But, in spite OF rs
incompatibility with pure democracy
if the state could reach out and say u
these boys, Come with me for year
or two and help me build brldgs, CT
irrigate field, or cruise my woodlands
if it could utilize their desire to do some
thing by giving them something tna
needs to be done, and their craving 70
experience new sensations by furnishing
them with a new environment and new
ideas to handle, there would result an
influx into the body polite Of a group
of citizens who could be of real value 70
the community in which they lived and
the makings of citizens of real value are
not to be passed over lightly in these
days of respectable mediocrity.

the distance, under it's slow-groWlns

and caps moving noiselessly abou'

We could almost imagine that out

their tall chimneys showing black

A dozen women are sitting within

measuring out in little brass scales,
like a chemists, with all the care OF
apothecaries, small quantities OF

der (Which recall in their volcanic
coloring the lakes of Kruisivik and
the pits of Caltanasetta), and then
pouring them into the open mouths OF
half-empty shells that stand up
rightly by their sides.
They talk very little-indeed, hard
ly at all. Perhaps their work requires
all their attention.; perhaps their spir-
its are under the spell Of the deadly
things they are dealing with.
Some Of them are wearing over
their mouths and nostrils light green
wells that are like the wells Of the
Arab women inverted; others, in their
Indifference to danger, have tackled
their respirators into their waist
