starts out simply to enjoy idleness
should gradually and almost insensibly
degenerate into theft and thence to
burglary. The dividing line between
begging a living and stealing a living,
and also between petty theft and petty
burglary that always endangers the
comfort of families and at times their
lives is SO na1s.sw that the transition
frcn the tramp to the burglar is hard
" 2arceptible TO himself, and the only
way 70 halt the professional tramp is
70 PUNISH to the utmost the crimes his
calling nqtcaMy leads him to commit.
