The rumpus kicked up over in Van couver, B, C where a mob of 3000 rough handed Englishmen nwn-hanled all the Jpps and Chinks they could reach in the course of a single day and. especial ly a group of 500 newly arrived immi giant Japs, including a couple of their consular officers and a distinguished member of the Mikado's, cabinet, trans poses the initiative and the burden of accounting, to the mighty shoulders of John Bull, than whom no one on Earth i better able to handle the job. That our bully old cousin has our sympathy and unirersal good-will, goes without saying; and we hope he will settle the business once for all as far as convinc ing the "little Brown Man" of his exact ktitude and license on white man's soil, is concerned. ' 1 And if ito be we are drawn into the mess by reason of our juxtaposition, and harmony of sentiment, we will en deavor to enlighten the bumptious new pupil in international comity end west ern politics, that ' two war "rods in pickle" are wore than staying at home in the quiet pursuit of "those things to which God had called him," as the old Catechism has it. The Jap is strictly up against it; and it is certainly his hour to renig and find his true level, and what is more, keep it! V e HEARST AND HARRIMAM. , The news is abroad that Hearst and Harriman have made a compact, to con duct a campaign next year, wherein the right of riches to rule will be the cardi nal principle; and the general purpose of which will be to re-establish the su premacy of wealth over all other doc trines, for that is the length to which all such dogmas go. Hearst took occasion, at Jamestown, recently, to announce his new precept and launch his advocacy of it, to the dismayed astonishment of his really great following; and when he did it, he calmly threw off the mask of years and went deliberately back to the class he really stands for, and made plain the pose he has assumed through his papers. It need not surprise anyone out here; he is known as one of. the richest of the rich and bred and bom to the code and customs of the rich. But his raw candor will do him infinite harm and shatter his political ambition -forever. The people that have given him their loyal, even ardent, support through all the years he has preached the gospel of the commonalty and the dogma and dogma of equality, will turn from him in a whirl of disgust, with only un belief and (corn for any creed he may voice hereafter. For years he has been one of the most democratic of leaders and has been ex traordinarily successful in making good the falsity of his position, and the only credit that falls to him in the new and radical deal he has made, is that he has not sneaked his way into it, but has been there heart and soul all the time. He is not bluffing this time. He is in his own fold and will sing its song to the end. But it is a swan's song, for hliff. ' ' 0 f A FORTUNE A 'BEGGING.

CHANCE OF ARREST. Teddy Roosevelt, Jr. is Hunting With out a License and Deputy is on Trail. MIXXEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 9. A. K. Rutledge, deputy game warden at Bemidji, has been instructed to go to Colraine and arrest Teddy Roosevelt Jr. for hunting in Minnesota without the license required by law of a foreign resi dent. It is the result of Captain Green- way, of Duluth, formerly in command of the "Rough Riders," inviting Teddy Jr. to take a hunting trip on his private property near Colraine. The game and fish commission at the capital say the in vitation was accepted and that the two are already on the hunting grounds. The matter was called to the atten tion of Samuel J. Fullerton, superintend ent of fish hatcheries. Fullerton called Greenway up on long distance telephone and explained matters. The law re quires non-resident licenses to be taken out with the commission through its officers at the capital. Not only was no license issued for young Roosevelt, but there was not even an application on hand. The law must be enforced against ft president's son as well as against any other offender, was the ruling of Mr. Avery, the executive agent, and he at once instructed Deputy Warden Rut ledge, of Bemidji, to hurry to Colraine and get on the trail of Teddy Jr. , j General Robert E.

SUCCEEDS IN REFORMING r Twelve New Villages Near New York For Children Of The City Streett Tne "Boy Specialist" and Hi Work He Solves Many Curious Problems. NTKW YORK. Sent. 7. 1007. Includ ing several now being built, twelve vil lages have been established within the vicinity of New York during the past few vears to serve as homes for child ren. The Xew York Juvenile Asylum was the first of. the reformatory) insti tutions in this city to move out .into the open country where it young charges could me In pretty cottage homes sur- rcunded bv gardens, fnnn lauds ami playgrounds. The success of this change from the olutnne barraoKS was so marked that eleven other reformator ies have followed the example set by the Juvenile Asylum.. In all these vll- liue colonies, children from the slums f urn tninriit faritiinir UUU v " O CT and various trades in addition to receiv ing a common school education and learning how to play the street boy is pathetically meklilfc in all knowledge of healthy pastime. f ine young vil lagers in their rural surroundings are brought into contact with Mother Xa hire who browns their cheeks, builds up impoverished bodies, and straigntens out mental and moral kinks. The new order of things is a vast im provement on old time methods of help ing the street boy. And, apart from the rhfincre In his surroundini's. the asy lum boyt of today alo benefits from a better understanding of his case . by A FAMOUS "BOY SPECIALIST" Superintendent Charles D. Hilles of the New York Juvenile Asylum, a Leader in Reformatory Methods, those who have him in charge. Time was when it was thought that any ruffian wag fit to be the keeper of juvenile of fender? but happily better counsel now prevai and it is recognized that special knowledge and training are required in dealing with the boys if the work of re form is to succeed, Such knowledge" and experience are needed to gain the confidence of the typical street boy at the start. If any one doubts this, it would be made clear to him should he attempt to learn anything at first about one of the army of Xew York gamins who have been called the "princes of the street." The novice is immediately "up against it," as the boy himself puts it, since only the merest baby of the slum, too young to talk intelligently, i unable to "size up" the stranger. Older children are so "wise" that they instantly discern lack of experience on the part of the ques tioner with disastrous results to him. Suppose j that, with a desire to show kindness and sympathy, you should ask 'How old are you, little boy?" or "Do you go to school?" of some precocious in fant of seven engaged in the paper vend ing business. The imp, covered with a degree of accumulated dirt which, caused Owen Wister to exclaim of a London street boy on similar occasion, "How is it possible in the short span of seven years?" very likely would answer your inquiry -with Aw, go on you Joisey, watcher tink I am?" But the novice should not feel the re buff too ' keenly because even, in the presence of the one he calls the "wise guy," the man who knows all about the street boy and the way to hi heart, the gamin is not abashed, though to be sure his impertinence is then a mark of favor rather A than derision. A little story in point in that told by Charles D, Hilles, superintendent of the New Ybrk Juvenile Asylum, who devotes all his time and energy to . saving street I boys from shipwreck upon the rocks of crime everywhere present, in the slum life of the greater cities. Each boy sent, to the Children's , Village of the Asylum is taken before Mr. Hilles to be questioned as a means Of learning his Individual traits and as a method of establishing amicable relations. This par ticular boy had come into collision with the law upon numerous occasions -but 1 3 V v t v $ - r v .. . with the cleverness of his kbul had loni eluded attempts to bring him before ttw Children's Court. , When asked byi Mr. Hilles with what- olTen he was charged he "replied! "I was playln' a gme of checkers wld d cop, and it we my turn to mova and I didn't move and so lie jumped me, wel" Ills addresa he said was 123 Lemon Street If not according to the ethics of good behavior and maimers; those answers were at least friendly and only tincoii itctously impudent from the apeclalltt's point of view. In fact the boy special 1st who eU himwlf the task of dealing with delinquent children of the city's manufacture must realize first of all that the gamin is In all waj abnormal having Hvd an abnormal life, atid that ho U to be Judged and weighed by no common standards. Even with the mot monern sort oi nUiit tar makinii tfood citfeens, such as that of the Juvenile Asylum with Its wtdrfy spaced cottages built to acco modate no more than twenty boys each, its hospital, farm, school, trade-teaohlug shops, merit ytem of marking which incites to personal endeavor because It provides personal reward, Its huge play ground and its many acres of woodland T-tha whole, to be effective, must be vi talized bv the "personal touch," by the I knowledge of the boy specialist. Ac- I ..... . i r. TT111 ..J ' .vndriAltM corning to ju. xi"vw will doubtless convince eb of us of the correctness of his statement no two bovs are by any cnance exaeuy aune mind or. body. Opportunity Is given the bov specialist bn the cottage type of reformatory to study each boy, so that each mav be treated as 'n individual. 'We renard each of lout charges a si parate problem," says Mf. Hillea, "and from the very first use every enueavor trt merit not the bov's fear, which might eusily be achieved through strictly en forced arbitrary rules and accompanying punishments meted out by keepers, but hi love and confidence." Something Is almost invariably ac complished during the first interview between the delinquent and the boy .... .. , . . -.-i ..til 4 .it speciaiisi, tnougti onen no wuuvun u- fU'ultv. A bovi recently admitted to the Children's Village had not only been deprived of the guidance of both mother and father in his fight with tne worm, but had also suffered the loss of one leg in a ride stealing episode upon a freight train. He had lived by beg ging, and was so successful because of hi affliction that he earned much more than enough for his needs. The sur plus which he had' accumulated had drawn him Into evil surroundings. HU I. nan In lulllsd flf IITl.flVOrV reputation and his companions criminals of both sexes. Upon his arrival at me Children's VilLige he was called Into the superintendent's office in no very ami able frame of mind. To a long list of persuasive questions he answered only with surly monosyllable until Mr. Hilles had almost despaired of making a friend of him. , "Have you any pets?" was asked fi nally. "Yes, the boy replied with his nm show of interest, "I had a dog and a pi geon." ' "Where are they now?" Mr. limes asked. "Aw, I don't know,' the lad said ra ther huskily, "buf'and this was said very fiercely "I'd paid my room , rent for a week and they got a right to keep 'em that lontr. But wat's de use?" he continued with a suspicious quiver about his lips, "I won't never see 'em again." "How would you like to have them up here?'' was the next question, "Aw, stop your kiddin," came the surlv reply, and then as an afterthought and altogether incredulously, "do you really mean it? "Yes, I mean it." "Say, Mister,' the boy said with tears iu his eyes, "if you bring dem tykes up here dei e aint nothin' I won't do for you.; ! "AH right,', said Mr. Hilles, "up they ccme." And thereby was cemented n bond of friendship between the special ist who knew how and the boy who hi therto, had felt, that every man's haul was acainst him. He is working now at his studies and is regulating his conduct such a manner as to win the appro val of "de head iru.v" and to ensure his getting the greatest good from the new system. There are two ways to deal with the street Arab, the specialist has learned, one good, one baa. me nrst or oiu method is to 'break" him as the cow boy "busts" a broncho. - , The second is patent(lyj and painstakingly to t ain him as a thoroughbred is trained, sub stituting love and individual treatment for r3utme handlinsr. But to do this successfully you must be a boy special ist for, though sympathy .and love are essential in the work, so is the know ledge of the time vfhen discipline Is nec essary, Misguiaed kindness the pre ternaturally sharp gamin would instant ly employ to "work" his benefactor. The boy specialist is fully equipped to detect ihamming and to be firm where firmness is required.';-' ; ' '" 'y' i: : "Edcrar Rodman," says Mr. Hiles, "was one who required firm handling. For a considerable 'period before his advent here and after the death of his father he had been utterly intolerant of ( his mother's control and had become firm-' ly convinced that he was a law, unto himself. , When he came to us and was told to sit' down he replied with a de fiant 'No' becoming profane and vicious when we remonstrated with him, It required thirty-nine consecutive day in vnich to teach him that the first letter of the. alphabet of life is obedience. Af ter that he learned many useful things, Including printing, and Is now working In New York earning two-third of a man's pay and with a perspective of life in which the old injurious stubborn nest has no place.' v t ,u Edgar might have been subdued In short order if flogging or oilier corporal punishment were bellevtd In or resorted to at the Children's Village. Hut It is not. Flogging would awake in tlw breast of the typical street boy feel-' lug of resentment and hate which would effectually militate against reform and Ihe spirit of self respect and self reli ance which It is ought to Instill. What U doue in extreme cases I to sentence the refractory boy to the .drill squad, where he is compelled to perform light gymnastics which though healthful are terribly monotonous with ihe fact that a boy in the drill sipiad Is denied all privilege of pleasure and play enjoyed by all the other boys, thU method l quite suffkieut and leaves no smolder ing sense of humiliation and enmity. tr Morning Aitorlan, (0 cents par month, delivered by carrier.
