The Jewish Tramp.

The Jewish Tramp.
The necessity of concerted action, in every
community, in order to obtain the best results
in any direction, is patent to every one. Es-
pecially is this true in the dispensation of
charity and the care of the needy otherwise.
The running sore in American Jewry is the
fast increasing army of perpatetic ''schnorrers,
genuine tramps, who differ from other tramps,
in that they appeal to far more generous
clientelage, and therefore ride throughout the
country, instead of tramping it, and are for
this reason. to be found only in larger towns
and in the cities Their number grows with
the appeasing of their demands.
Like their brother tramps they are becoming
brazen and are apt to attempt to intimidate
if they lind CONDITIONS favursba. -lAs-ste.
The ready excuse is hunting for work, or
having been sick in the last place where they
worked. The writer has taken pains, through
the medium of associated charity organizations,
to investigate their stories, and has yet to fiud
one whose tale was true one, or whose claims
were validity grounded.
The existence Of this body Of Jewish tramps
is growing to be as serious problem as is the
tramp-problem to the country at large.
Germany deals with her tramps in . most
practical manner, virtually granting them
passports from one village to another, with
stopover privileges of very limited character.
Here in America the tramp will eventually
become either a municipal or county or even
state question, and the knights-errant of the
dusty road become the especial care of the
law.
The Jewish tramp, as sui generis, should
have no excuse for existence. He has been
created by the fullness of Jewish charity. It
has been our boast that we take care of our
own, and because of this, every hearty hulk Of
laziness who could frame the words, found
len bin q arme Yehuda," the open-sesame
to the purses of his coreligionists. Nor they
alone Many . non-Jew has tasted thus wise
of Jewish benefcence.

The Duty of the Smaller Communities.

The Duty Of the Smaller Communities.
The distress among the Jewish tailors and
garment-makers is so great that our charities
find themselves unable to cope with it. Added
to this, newly arrived emigrants from all GUAR
ters who are destitute, and hard winter be-
fore us, create task almost hopeless to accom-
plish.
the entire burden, when, if it is not assumed,
the whole Jewish population of the United
States will be made to feel the responsibility.
The smaller cities can we'll afford to domicile
and assist portion Of the unemployed Jewish
families. #.#
lites can furnish some occupation for one poor
family. The Jews in these smaller towns be-
long to no synagogues, they have no hospitals
and orphan asylums to support. Seldom do
they belong to Jewish lodges. Their Christian
neighbors have churches, Young Mems Asso-
Citations, and Foreign Missions. The Jews are
entirely free from all this expense. Therefore,
they can and should willingly assist their bur-
dened brethren Of the large cities.
Young men can be found who, if they were
asked, would willingly act as agents for the
united chariti of the city. To such, families
could be shipped with instructions to attend
to them. This would unload much Of the bur
den. It would tend to distribute the foreign
element in healthy environment, tend to
Americanize them. It would create small
centres to which relatives and friends of those
first sent out might find their way and enter
other Industries he only solution possible,
it seems to me, of this perplexing question.
As it is now, the metropolitan Jews stand
alone. The moro they battle with the pro-
blem, the more serious it becomes until every
effort is required in this one direction. All
advancement is out of the question. Hospitals
and orphan asylums, schools and other edu-
cational organizations, are made to suffer, 90
unsupported, because the charities require it
all. Last year $4,000 was spent by them
this year they are crippled, and the demand
has hardly begun and, worse than all, we are
creating pauper element that claims aims as
q right due them. They demand it, and ac-
cuse you Of theft if they are refused. One
need but attend the meetings of the various
charity societies, Jewish and public, to feel the
truth of this.
! Shall we wait until the Jewish name is dis
graced before we act 1t is necessary that the
entire Jewish community shoulder this burden
and strive to carry it honorably.-M. Y. Ball.
in the Je,oish Exponent.
The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1893-11-24

stopped is by simply abolshlng the cause which
created them, viz the imposition upon the in
dividual, and let them all be acted upon through
the channel of an organization. Instead of be.
ing bled in driblets by every passing wayfarer,
let the resources of the community be placed 10
the hands of accredited officials who will deal
with the fraternity. Then repeating and fabri-
cation will become impossible.
AS the individuals of a community should
unite, so should communities with each other.
If any organization sends man or family
from one city to another, let the society give
him or them an accredited, documentary evil
dence that their story may be substantiated,
and if the tale of woe cannot be verified, it
should be considered, as it almost inv Ariably
is, false, and the more narrowing the details,
the greater the falsehood. Let an emphatic
no be the answer to all these. 1t will be a
question of only limited period Of time, when
communities that deal thus practically with
the question will find the question answered
by the gradual disappearance of the evil.
While we are thus attempting to remove an
abuse Of charity, our attention must not be
dertracted from the really needy and the poor
who are the permanent residents of place and
whose character is known. To these most
earnest Efforts mu.t be directed. Not only
their physical wants, but their moral needs, in
spite of their orthodoxy, are pressing.
The crowded tenement quarters Of every
large city, where the poor dwell in unfortunate
numbers are becoming real danger to Ameri-
can Judaism. All that has been accomplished
during the last century threatens to be undone
by the overwhelming mass of ever freshly-ar-
irving immigrants.
The objection and the danger lie not in the
immigrants or in their arrival here, but in their
budding together in the large cities. In New
York, in Philadelphia, in Chicago, st. Louis,
Cleveland, and in other large cities, both sea-
board and inland, they have proven too much
for the charity organizations Like huge
cloud of threatening tempest, they spread along
the horizon of American Judaism. The storm
may be delayed, the clouds may, as pray
heaven they will, roll harmlessly away,-but
the duty stares us in the face, to scatter the
elements of possible evil.
