The New Tramp Law.

WAYNE, April Il, 1889.
Editor Of the heHHebee Journal:
The tone Of criticism regarding the prac,i
cal working of the new tramp law" enacted
BY the last lie gislature, would reflect il seems
to me. upon the combined wisdom aud Jus,
intentions OF that large number of men in the
two branches of the legislature who were
called upon. in the nature of things, to enact
such laws as would give larger security not
only to the property of our citizens, but
their lives as we'll One who has counted
for the past three years the vast number of
homes entered by this bsneful brotherhood,
the number of buildings burned, where the
origin could be traced to no other source,
must clearly see that some more stringent
laws should both be enacted and enforced 10
guard the interests of our homes. Mercy
and compassion are due to the erring and to
the unfortunate, but they are more clearly
due to the innocent and noble mothers, wives
and sisters of our homes. When there be-
comes such shrinking and dread, such
sense of insecurity, on the part of our wives
and mothers rs we may now witness in many
towns Of or State then it is fitting that our
laws should defend the weak and depend
ent. An evil and q curse 80 compiler as
has become the tramp nuisance; their COW
cred life and hidden doinss, will
tax the wisdom of our courts. In the very
nature of things the application of our recent
laws ~ applied Il this evil will be difficult.
But Let Us At least look upon the course
Of our Legislators Is benefcent in design,
and it may yet appear effective in its appli-
cation. Mothefs and wives sfe grateful to
our lawmakers. They say. protect our
homes" We are disposed to acknowledge
our obligssiens to osr Law wakess.
