A State Boycotted by Tramps.

| The tramp problem comments the
| Chicago RecOrd-HeTald, is a serious
one in New England-as. indeed. it is
elsewhere-especially in the late fall
and winter months Massachusetts
had had much trouble with her vagrant
visitors. and in 1905 she enacted a law
in which she hoped to find at least a
partial solution of the problem. The
people of the smaller towns grumbled
and complained because the new act
entailed considerable expense. Now
they rejoice and congratulate them
selves on the effectiveness and econo-
my of the anti-tramp legislation 1t has
exceeded expectations.
The act requires the municipalities
TO establish and maintain lodging-ho
es for tramps and provides. on the 9TH
er hand. that no hobo shall be given
shelter or food without certain
amount of work performed on the
premises and under proper supervision.
In addition, cleanliness. decency and
order are imposed on him by the regu-
latiOns adopted for his benefit.
The effect of this law is indicated by
the following figures: In the state fis-
cal year 1905. ending with April. Mas
sachusetts cared for 13.453 tramps in
her various alshouses. police stations
and lOdginghOuses. The next fiscal
year. thanks to the new act requiring
work and instituting stricter control.
saw a great slump in the tramp bus
iness-the number cared for fell to
1881.
In Boston and some other cities
there are Salvation Army shelters and
dime and nickel lodgings where tramps
cOngregate and escape official regula-
ton and the fatal necessity of paying
with work for food and bed. Where
there are no such private accommodate
lions the tramp has almost disappear
ed. The state has been placed under
a tramp boycott. and neighboring
states are preferred. But Massachu-
sets has no patent on her solution and
is willing that her neighbors shall use
ii. And they probably will.

their food stuffs be subjected to a rigid
government inspection, while foreign
meat products could be imported with
no inspection at all. In this contingent
cy it is fairly possible that foreign
meat products may be kept out of the
country altogether. and this would
work hardship on the importer and the
retail dealer as we'll as the epicure,
who likes his various sorts of 'wursts. -
his kippered herring. his dried boar's
head. sardines, pate de fol gras and all
other imported food stuffs which are
annually consumed in America by the
thousands of tons 1t is just possible
if the department of justice insists that
government inspection of foreign
meat products is necessary that other
countries may be forced TO adopt some
sort of an inspection system which
will bring them into conformity with
our recently passed meat inspection
law

Wounds. Bruises and Burns.

of blood poisoning. Keep a bottle of

FOIBLES OF THE BAR.
BY Henry s. Wilcox, of the Chicago
Bar.

This volume is printed on good pa

which are devoted TO pointing ont mis-
takes and shortcomings of members of
the bar that have often prevented sue
cess and seriously interfered with the
administration of justice. at the same
time giving the qualifications essential
to the highest success at the bar. The
points made are illustrated by charac-
ter sketches and word pictures of
types of lawyers which abound in the
profession. Among these are the fol-
lowing. the verbose lawyer. whose eX-
cessive verbosity and grandiloquence
makes him bore to his friends and
a terror to the court and jury.
Billie Goodfellow whose habits as
mixer and propensity for hilarious com
pany prevents him from acquiring mas
terry of legal principles and yet enables
him by affability to win many difficult
cases and cause justice TO break her
sword.
Reginald Writer, whose passion for
literature of an imaginary character
leaves no time or inclination to study
law. but who depends upon his flights
of rhetoric for success.
Lawrence Lobby, who drifts into pol
h aArpnr1finn clients
and becomes a corrupter of the public

morals and the promoter of unjust leg
islation. winning his lawsuits by Chi
canery.
Peter Protest. who is also drawn into
politics on account of his sympathy
for tho oppressed poor and forgets. in
his political work his legal learning,
and yet attempts to practice law with
poor success.
Handy Skinner, who combines the
trading instinct with an INSCRIPTIONS
conscience and some knowledge of
law. operates as a business agents for
his clients immeshing them into litiga-
ton for his benefit. and their ruin. un-
til. finally, he accumulates a great for
tune and becomes one of the Oppres-
sors of the world.
The firm of Grebbem & Fleecem,
who do a land Office business, employ
press agents and many solicitors. and
thereby acquire an immense business
which they conduct by means of cheap
and incompetent clerks. and fleece
their patrons to the extreme limit.
Captain Jehosaphat Jehu, the imper-
sonation of disorder. always in hurry,
never prepared. and ordinarily loses
his suits because of mistakes and omis-
s!ons.
General Bluff. a type of cowardice'
Who swelled with magnificent pride as
ne strutted in the hovel of poverty TO
scare its wretched inmates into paying
a bill. and with fiendish delight,
wrung the last penny from the wither-
ed hands of want to apply on his eX-
tortionate fees. But when among peo-
pie capable of defending themselves,
and inclined to do So he was meek,
and at the first prospect of danger,
his spine shook like lambs tail, and
he sought the first excuse TO fly.
Thomas Doubt, whose lack of conf
dence in his fellows and in the court
and jury, seriously interfered with his
success at the bar and prevented him
from attaining that position that his
talents fitted him TO occupy.
Paul Proud. who allowed his per
sonal pride to make him so thin skin
ned and sensitive to the ridicule of
his adversaries that he was likely TO
be defeated thereby
The author, then, as a foil to the |
foibles sketched, presents Lycurgus

who arises from the most distressing |
poverty and unfavorable surroundings |

There is a chapter on Honesty in
which is delneated the necessity for
good faith in the lawyers relation TO

respect
A chapter on spiritual and physical
development. showing the need of an

other errors.

who is a Rock Island man. distinguish
ed himself on the plains as an officer
of the eth cavalry. and later in the
Philippines. having been awarded in
1899 medal of honor for galIantry in
action. He has been a brigadier gen
eral in the regular army since 1901
and recently sacrificed his promotion to
the rank of major general in order that
his friend. BTigadier General Jesse NJ.
Lee, a veteran of the civil war. should
have the position before his retirement
early next January.
General Bell was born at Shelby
vile. KY. in 1856. and was graduated
from the military academy in 1878.
Charles E. MagoOn recently was ap-
pointed to be vice governor of the Phil
ippines, but the revolution in Cuba
caused his selection TO be provisional
governor there. Until short time ago
he was governor of the Panama canal
zone and United States minister to
Panama He also has served as gen.
eral counsel for the iSthmian canal
commission and as law officer of the
bureau of insular affairs of the war de-

the University of Nebraska. and was
admitted to the bar in 1882.

Meat Importation,

A decision has been asked by the de-
partment of agriculture from the de-
partment of justice which will deter
mine whether or not foreign meat pro-
ducts shall be totally excluded from
the United States. Such a decision
would be almost unbelievable. yet
there is serious prospect that such
construction of the new meat inspec-
ton law could be made and would be
held legal by the courts The new
law, whose enforcement has been dele
gated to the department of agriculture.
provides for every stringent inspection
of all meat used in interstate COM
merce. OF course. this government
can appoint inspectors to look after
American factories, but it cannot send
similar officials into Great Britain and
continental countries to inspect the
products prepared there.
II would also seem rather unfair to
American food manufacturers should
