From petty offense no more se rious than snow-balling to burglarizing stores and committing other crimes, hun dreds of boys in Minneapolis must be ad judged guilty. This is the story of the police who have had to wrestle with the bad boy problem since winter set in. Dur ing the summer and fall, when there were a thousand and one things to afford the youngsters diversion, their recklessness I was not po apparent. Now, however, with but little other recreation in sight than school and chores at home, the restive spirit of Young America is making itself felt in all parts of the city. All sorts of offenses, and hundreds of them, are charged against the boys of Minneapolis. They throw snowballs, steal chickens', break windows, set farmers' teams adrift, upset buildings, damage telegraph and telephone wires, set fire to outhouses, strike terror to small stores, and sometimes commit burglaries. This enumeration of offenses, of course, in cludes the acts of boys ranging in age from 10 to 20 years. The younger boys are up to the usual boyish pranks, while the older ones readily learn the ways of criminals. The police have had an awful time with the boys this winter, and every officer has his views on the best way to handle the evil. Some favor the rod rather than spoiling the child, others blame parents and guardians, and some charge school teachers with lack of discipline. But while they all recognize the evil and its alarming growth, they are powerless to combat It. One officer, who has three lively boys of his own, says he would be able to restore order on his beat if pa rents would only let him adopt the tac tics ha "employs in his own family, but that, of course, is out of the question. He "whales" his boys occasionally, and declares that they thrive on it. Their appetites are better and they honor their father and mother for w-eeks after a good trouncing. But he says he cannot thresh every family's bad boys, although that is what very many of them need to make them regardful of the rights of others. A prominent member of the police force who does not believe in whipping, recom mends public playgrounds and public baths for winter use. The boys are no better nor worse than millions of other boys all over the world. In Minneapolis, however, their pleasures are curtailed during the winter, and their boyish spirits must find a vent somehow. If they can't skate or slide down hill, or play pull away or 'shinny" or do any one of the things that healthy boys have done since the world started, they will get into mis chief. He is strongly in favor of public playgrounds. Another officer who has studied the Minneapolis small boy for years, says parents and guardians ought to keep their children at home or keep a better tab on them when they are out of their sight. "Boys who are allowed great liberty," he said, "usually turn out bad in a city. I mean very young boys, who arc on the street all the time. Tough dances, tough saloons where minors are permitted to loaf, tough candy stores, and other tough places where very young men are wel comed, should be closed up, or the boys kept away from them. Crimes are hatched in saloons and tough resorts, and hun dreds of boys are ruined in those places annually. Parents should prvoide enter tainment for their children at home, so that boys and girls would be content with home pleasures or those to be found at a neighbor's house." Another officer hopes to see the council take up the matter of public dances, and bring those questionable affairs under the direct control of the police department. He thinks the council should grant a license for such dances, which must be approved by the mayor, and which can be revoked at the pleasure of that official. This would tend to keep a portion, al least, of. the disreputable element oui of the business. At present any old tough can conduct a public dance, and so long as his house does not become disorderly, the police are powerless to stop him, no matter how flagrantly Vice may flaunt herself in the mazes of the dance. The evil has reached such proportions that many reputable people will bring it before Mayor Ames after his inaugura- FRIDAY EVENING, JANUAEY 4, 1901.

A feature of the entire trouble that must not be overlooked, say the police, is the tact that the sons of rich men are just as culpable as the poorest boy on the flats, and that the public must not suppose they are inveighing against poor boys or any class of boys in particular. It is all classes of bad, mischevious boys who think it smart to commit petty depredations. DIED IX HIS CHAIR John Goodman of Still water a Vie- Tim of Heart Disease. Special to The Journal.
