The Tramp" Governor.

We picked up the papers yesterday
and from the headlines of the dis
patches expected to read sensation
from an official crank. But after
reading the circular Of Governor Lew.
elling to the police of Kansas. we
could only feel gratifed to know that
our cruel treatment Of the unfortu-
nate poor had received from our state
executives proper rebuke.
And we shall not even quarrel with
the literary style or what some might
regard as seeking to make point by
a sentimentality that caters to the
million, but there are in il stalwart
sentences and philanthropic ideas.
For some time now our lawmakers
have been closing up workmen's ave-
nueS for bread winning. Thousands
upon thousands of men and women
that had good wages and steady en-
plOyment year ago are now idle and
penniless, from no fault of their own
but turned away from their work
by the enacted laws of the lald-
made idle by statute.
These people must not be treated
as vagrants and criminals. The peo-
pie Of the United States have put by
their votes the law making power into
the hands Of their representatives
and servants and from them they
have the right to demand the right
and privilege of earning their bread.
If this is denied them, the law should
feed them-and not make the poverty
imposed by law a crime-punishable
by fine and Imprisonment at hard la
Dor. Whatever literary or other crit
iclsm may say Of Governor Lewell-
ing's utterances, his protest against
law imposed idleness and destitution
being treated as a crime does him
