Professor J, J. McCook of Hartford has figured out that there are about 46OOO able-bodied, wilfully idle, and in most cases criminally inclined tramps in this country. This number includes only the professionals, who never work save under compulsion, but who depend on petty thieving, begging and public charity for their living. It includes the professional vagrants of all degrees of depravity who wander over the land as the whim dictates, and who waste every year from $S,oOOOOO to $1o,OOO,OoO of the earnings of the industrious.
