A report ofthe convention of the
American Anti-Tramp Society
held last week at Fon du lao, Wis.,,
10 given by the Chicago Record,
which thinks the society have q
difficult task ON their hands, il
they are to succeed in Kidding the
country of the tramp nuisance.
The statistics of those who have
made tramp life a study show that
ont Of the whole number Of men
who make it practice to wander
from town to town subsisting on
charity, a great proportion have
adopted their vocation as a per-
manent calling. They have be-
come as thorough nomade as any
gypsies. In other words, there
has been time and opportunity in
the last two or three decades for
the country to rear tribe Of men
who form distinct class organi-
cation and among whom there are
certain codes and rules of conduct
which are as firmly established as
the rules governing the ordinary
amenities of more civilized life.
The tramp who subsists on cold
handouts" and rides on car
trucks from city to city has sep
arate status from the tramp who
makes a speciality of warm dinners
and confines himself largely to the
country and small towns.
These professional vogabonds
are tramps by choice and intention.
Permanent work and wages with
food and shelter are not what they
want or will accept. The job
which faces the tramp removers is
nothing less than the eradication
of an entire large army of people
who "work" at their own trade
with an assiduity which bespeaks
an intense liking for it.
The fact that this army is not
compact makes it all the moro diff
ficult to deal with. The anti-tramp
society is right in thinking that
the only remedy lies in a concert
ed action undertaken In common
throughout the United States. Of
the various experiments tried in
Europe some have been reasonably
successful, but there the system
of police and military surveillance
renders any plan much easier.
Here ths only remedy must be one
that can be put in practice
throughout the country.
1t il not to be hoped. either,
that any satisfactory results are to
be achieved without long-continu-
ed effort. One dose of compulso-
ry work may drive a tramp out of
a community, but it is not going
to reform him. He must be made
to understand from experience
that there is no room for him
and no chance for him anywhere
unless he will work.-Wheeling
Register.
