UNION-Times, June 10: There i:
perhaps no law that is nearer being
dead letter upon the statutes of oui
state than the vagrant act. Ever
since the divine decree went forth thai
by the sweat of thy brow shalt thou
eat bread" labor has been honorable
idleness and slothfulness, dishonorable
and disreputable. Disregarding this
decree the world now has greater
comparative per cent. of consumers
than producers, the continual and
steady increase of this class of drone:
is becoming so alarming that an appeal
to the officers of the law to enforce
the vagraut act, and in some particu
lar amend it so as to make it more ef
fective with a command for the stric,
enforcement of its provisions is the
only remedy for this crying evil in ou'
midst. Union furnishes its quota o.
this class of citizens, and if the towr
and county authorities would look af
ter the vagrants and bring them to the
courts to be dealt with according te
law the town and county chain gang
would be fully recruited and it would
not be long before We would have gooo
streets and roads at a nominal cost
Idleness is the devils worshop, from
which comes crimes of all descriptions
