TRAMps.-Just now our city, like many 9th
ers, is run over with tramps. They beg their
meals on the streets in the day time AID at
night 90 to the police station for lodging There
is general complaint made throughout the
city that these characters call daily for food.
While many of them are deserving and would
work if they could get an opportunity the ma
jority of them do not want employment. Our
citizens are liberal and hardly ever turn hun
cry person from the door, but the calls are be-
coming so frequent that it is very evident that
something must be done. Those who are will
ing to work should be encouraged and helped,
while the lazy ones should be left to help them
selves. 1t is well known fact that notwith-
standing the city is suffering such an army OF
able bodied tramps, it is impossible to get a
man to work on Commercial street for less than
A. cents an hour or 81 per day. Why should
not these characters be made to support them
selves when there is such good opportunity as
Commercial street affords? Of course there
are number of men who are out of work and
are out of health who should be aided but the
majority of the tramps in the city do not want
to earn their own living.
