In lis valedictory message to the
Legislature of Ohio, Governor Allen
says : "The matter of professional
vagrancy is one worthy of your at
tention. I am we'll aware that,
owing to the general peraly2ation of
business, great many honest and
industrious men are out of employ
ment and in their efforts to find re-
munerative labor 60 from place to
place with honest purposes. But
within n few years class of vagrants
hnve grown up in our midst, who
soize the dullnoss of business as q
preteXt to roam ovor the country,
with no purpose except to secure
a living by begging or illicit mems.
Tho evil should be arrested OF once.
The question is a difficult and doll.
cate ono Honest search for en-
ploytnent must not be branded
as n crime, but vagranoy is a mis- de-
mennor in itself, which the law
should suppress"
