If the tramp is to be eradicated he
must be compelled to work winter aud
summer until he is willing to seek and
continue to work on his own account,
says the philadelphia Times, and, fail
ing in this, he should be kept at work
for the public indefinitely. In order TO
compel him to work he must be given
something to do, and the industry that
is capable of readiest adaptation to the
solving of the tramp problem is that of
road making. The tramp should work
the roads, not tramp them at bis own
will. Il
