- THE BRITISH "ALPHONSE.":
f A. :.-;;:-,:, r - ' V '. -
We Americans have been laboring
under the delusion for the past twelve
months op more, that sooner or later
we would have to get in and drub the
sturdy little Jap into condition of
rationality and take the. stuck-up kinks
out of his doughty little backbone, ac
quired from his conquest of the Russians;
but is seems we have but been playing
the .American "Gaston" to the "Al
phonse" of our dear British cousin.
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

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. ' '

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

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

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

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

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-

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."

complished during the first interview
between the delinquent and the boy

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

hi affliction that he earned much more
than enough for his needs. The sur

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.
