Cleaning Up the Tramps.

One Of the latest measures for abol-
ishipg the tramp nuisance is that of
compelling cleanliness by law in the
lairs which harbor this class. Since the
government assumes the right to clean
up districts which breed pestilence. it
can justly go a step farther and regu-
late the condition of those wanderers
who might distribute disease. The
refuge of the tramp in cold weather is
the cheap lodging houses maintained in
towns and cities. They are crowded
together in all their dirt and disorder.
The law may reform these houses out
Of existence or at least make them so
respectable that only the honest IN
fortunates will patronize them. To
this class clean lodgings will be a boon
and lead to better things.
The real tramp hates soap and wa
ter as much as he hates work. Even
if be should beg or steal the price of a
lodging in a decent house he will prefer
to drink it up rather than subject him
self to the rules requiring a daily bath
and a clean nightshirt at his own ex,
pense. If nothing better comes Of this
method Of dealing with hoboes the hon.
est ones will be separated from the
vagabonds, thus checking the spread OF
decentralization.

All Amer.c. Stands For Peace.

1t may be a mere coincidence or It
may be a fact of profound Importance
that the twenty nations which are in
cluded in the term Latin-America have
been practically free from revolutions
th-oughout the current year. The cir
cunstaace is without parallel in the
history Of nearly & century. All OF
these nations are republics in name at
east and nearly all have beer given
10 frequent revolutions. But signs Of
development toward & higher civiliza-
lion can be traced in the last fifty
years. and an ambition for political
stability is noticeable. Within twenty
years Mexico, Brazil, Peru. Argentina
and Chile have come out from the
ranks of the turbulent countries. Co
lombia, TOO. aspires TO repeat the eNpe-
Renee OF Mexico.
Castro today is unique among South
American despots- the survival in mod

Farlow was a property owner

board put in the claim that the
board was a sort of court and
could not be sued any more
