Lease Mrites a Raol..

Sister Lease has written a book. It is
not necessary 70 introduce Sister Lease.
Everybody knows she is the First Woman
il American Politics. The title OF her
book is. The Problem OF Civilization
Solved OF course sister Lease solved il,
all by herself People knew she had done
e. just as soon as they heard her make
speeches, and they were perfectly conf
dent she would write a. book about it when
she had acquired little notoriery. The
book is now in press. The Chicago Herald
has been PERMITTED to see the advance
sheets. from which it quotes some four or
hTe columns.
Sister Leases book is Comprehensive.
T. begins 10 consider affairs somewhere in
the neighborhocd of the time when the
earth YVES a minute dot floating through
space and accumulatins star-dust at the
rate of a few specks per century. IT ends.

Of Coxey's army and the firing Of Waite
and LeWeuing. And then 1t springs of
into space. through speculation. 10 a pc
Rod as far ahead Of tine present as the
first period considered is behind it. A
work of such scope necessarily entails
the Study and use OF considerable statis-
tics. Sister Lease employs them in great
shape She iugsles with millions, and
quindllions and sexuIious. and whatever
may be beyond those. in manner to make
q geoioelst or an astronomer turn green.
She does not monkey with small figures
They are too common. She Jumps the
population Of the earth. which She says is
one billion fifteen millions and some few
over. and considers the population condi-
ton in the aggregate. After that she
takes mp the nations, and considers them

than 90 specify individual cases. Abstract
subjects are the easier handled; especially
employed. There is certain

The conclusion Sister Lease reaches,
Of course. is that the whole
measly planet upon which we live is rum
ming wrong and win go to smash before
long unless 81 speedily adopts her sugges-
uons.
What are the suggestions? We'll, these
in part: Sister Lease is a disciple Of Dr.
Nautilus. She thinks the population Of the
world is growing too fast She says there
must be am outlet for the idle men Of both
the old and the new world. and advises all
such TO so to South America 1.-THE colo
nizatlon of tropical America" she thinks
would smash the money power. and anar-
chy and communism.
Some Of the portions of Sister Leases
book quoted by the Herald are pic
turesque and poetic; but for the most part
fl is just such book as one might expect

who has been making a study Of the sub
ject says there are in this country an
army OF tramps approxlmaung o000 male
persons. Elevsn-twelfths Of them are un-
der 50 years old, hence in the prime OF
life. Five-sixths Of them are able-bodled.
perfectly healthy and capable of doing
as good a days work as any farm laborer.
Three-dfths Of them are tradesmen or
artisans. and many Of them possess a
considerable degree of skill. More than
nfne-tenths OF them can read and write.
and probably one-half OF them are fairly
well educated A small percentage Of
them have classical educations. and
great number are eklIfu accountants.
The support Of this army Of idlers. who
bear no public burdens and produce moth
ing but trouble, is estimated TO cost not
less than 100000 a year-a sum one
half more than the Indian department
costs the government. nearly oue-haf
as much as the cost Of the navy, and
more than one-nfth of the cost OF the
army. Tho tramp IS supported by a di-
rect tax which he levies under his own

nineteen Of the forty-four states have
tramp laws. There is not tramp law

states. or in amy Of the southern states

sissippL The penalty for tramp ranges
from three days I'm Jail to five years "a
state prison, besides an endless variety
Of fines
As to the remedy for the tramp evil
Prof McCook favors the labor colony
whenever practicable, and a system under
which the tramp would be forced to work
for his food and lodging in all cities. The
want Of a specific for the evil is felt in
this section of the country. and espec-
tally in Florida. every winter. The cold
weather at the north drives the army
Of idlers TO seek the softer climate Of
the Land Of Flowers. Along with them
they bring vice crime and disease. NUM-
erous rooberics and murders are laid TO
the account Of the tramps, and doubt
less with very good reason. Their pres
ence is demoralzng to community
and an unjust burden upon the inhabl-
tants The states that neglect to pro-
vide stringent anti-tramp laws are neg
ligent Of the interest of their taxpayers,
and Of the farmers especially.
