SCARCITY OF TRAMPs. For the
past several weeks, there has been a
remarkable scarcity of tramps about
Salem, condition Of affairs that is
most agreeable to residents Of the cap
ital city. The scarcity Of the hobo
element at this season CT the year can
not easily be accounted for as it is
during the months of March and
April that this association of non
workers annually migrate northward.
Some one suggests that In view of the
pending war, the average hobo has
deemed IL polite to make himself
scarce for fear he might be drafted
into the country's service. There is
question as to whether or not this
class would prove Of any value or
source Of strength to the country, in
event of battle.
