BLOW TO THE "7RAMP INDUSTRY"
Rockland County's Sheriff and Deputies

VIII Lose Most OF Their Graft.
NEW CITY, Dec. 2.-Yesterday the
Board of Supervisors OF Rookland county
decided to abolish the tramps' para
disc, and at the same time end a
public scandal. by conducting a work.
house in connection with the jail here.
The tramps will be compelled to crack
stone for the roads, with which Rockland
county abounds.
Many deputy sheriff owes his prosperity
to the fees collected for arresting and con-
veying tramps to the jail, and several
Sheriffs have retired with a competency
from the proceeds OF the tramp industry,
as it is known by the taxpayers.
Public sentiment has forced the Super
visors to provide the workhouse. A frame
building has been secured a quarter Of a
mile from the jail in the woods, and ham
ners and other implements ordered.
, The jail has airaady begun 70 alup, with

The deputy sherifls and constables have a
regular system il the arrest Of hamps.

uits them to terms of from ten to thirty
days. The deputy gets fee for the arrest,
and another fee for conveying the prisoners
TO the Jail. The Justice gets his COM
mitment fee, and then the Sheriff gets q 80
week for the board Of each prisoner.
When the tramp industry" was invesd-
gated some time ago it was proved that
deputies were in the habit Of conveying
prisoners to Justices located at q great
distance, so as to get more mileage, and
that brief sentences were given tramps,
who were rearrested on leaving the Jail
and committed over again. Several depu-
lies did thriving business by conveying
prisoners in wagons, while others we're
found to be paying tramps upon their
release to allow the deputies to rearrest
them, The industry" has cost the county

STRENGTHENING THE CHURCH.
BY Henry 7. CoIeStock Pr d

In the days OF Christ many individu-
ais were attempting 10 solve the prob
lens of the inner life by regulating
their conduct according TO an external
standard. Life was burdened with
innumerable restrictions. Jesus de-
nounced this method of living because,
while it gave responsibility to the man
who obeyed the letter of these re-
quirements. it did not n, essarily
change the man himself. Things were
done or not done. taken into or eXclud-
ed from life, without any reference to
their effect on the individuals charac-
ter Thus many acts We're regarded
unlawful which We're not in them
selves unworthy or harmful; many
acts were rNgarded with favor which
did not mi ter TO the needs of the
soul nor enrich the spiritual life.
Would not many questions be sim
plified if we could approach them al
ways with this thought in mind: Is
this an aid or a hindrance TO the de-
velopnent, the enrichment of the in.
ner life? AS this thought becomes
keynote in our lives. one of the great
est obstacles to the extension OF
Christ's Kingdom will be removed For,
let Christians condemn things that are
in themselves harmless. and eXalt vir-
tues which are beyond the general APP
probation. and in this way the relig-
ions life is made repellant, and appears
as an artificial way OF living. Would
not Christ condemn only what mars
or destroys the true life of man, and
com mend only what ministers to the
enric ,ment Of the human spirit?
If CHRISTIANS were only wise enough
to con emn only those things which
are hur. sul to the best interests Of hui
mainly, and TO commend all that does
not destroy or mar these interests, the
leadership of the church would be
greatly augmented in every communi-
ty. There are few create sins than
holding up an artificial standard of
living: and in so far as the church does
this, in so far as Christian parents do
it, will the Christian religion fail in
it's appeal TO the community con-
science and to the Younger members of
the home.
Recall the homes where the parents
are Christians and the sons grow up
in perfect Indifference to Christianity.
What is the most common cause of
this condition? Is il not in the fact
that the Christian standard held I'D
before the young does not always con
denim what ought TO be condemned
and approve what ought 10 be aD-
proved? Granted that there are many
other causes why young men in Chris
tan homes do not more frequently
identify themselves with the church.
yet the cause named is doubtless the
most prolific.

the association and when any employees
IRE found to be labor agitators they are
co be reported to the secretary, who in
turn notifies all Of the members of the as
