HARDER TIMES FOR HoBoEs.
Co. Operation is to Solve the Tramp
Problem.

Hard times are ahead for the hoboes.
For years they have been stealing rides
and freight from the railroads, soaring
farmers wives and making pests 81
themselves generally. and the railroads
and the town authorities have been
dealing unsuccessfully with the prob
lem until it has become apparent that
cooperation is necessary. So coop
Grafton it is TO be. and the word has
gone along the hobo line that the game
is going TO be harder.
Some folks have the idea that the
hobo is the happy tramp you read
about in the comic papers or see on
the stage, and possibly one tramp in a
thousand is like that. The other 999.
according to those who know them
best. are mighty undesirable citizens;
men who trespass, steal. brighten wo-
men. rob houses. wreck trains and in
a pinch commit murder
Some European governments have
realized the seriousness of the hobo
problem and have begun a systematic
study OF vagrancy. but in America I'M
til now no concerted action has been
taken against the army Of idlers who
prey on the country. Statistics have
been gathered and Investigations made
of laws, arrests and convictions with
the object OF having the question treat
ed as national instead of local-to have
tramps disposed Of by employment or
Imprisonment and not merely shifted
along from one town to another-and
in this work the railroads are only too
glad to cooperate
II is the railroad that suffers most
from tramps, and it is also the one
thing without which the hobo could
not continue his existence. He must
keep moving, for no community will
endure habitual idleness and a long
Istay in any one town would land him
in the workhouse.
He cannot pay his fare to keep NOV
ing. so he steals his rides. If ride
stealing can be prevented vagrancy
will receive a death blow and it is up
on this peg that the effort to dsband
the army of Migrants is to be hung.
Naturally enough, the railroads have
always been anxious to stop the ride
stealers. The trespasserS often steal
valuable packages of freight. damage
cars, interfere with signals and
switches and sometimes attack and in
JuIe lhe IdiIlIneH anu effplONeS.
But it has been impossible to make
much Roadway against ride stealing
because the hoboes If arrested rarely
get a harder sentence than an order
TO get out of town quick-which means
that they jump the next freight. Thus
to accomplish results there must be
cooperation between the railroads and
the authorities and to secure this sew
eral charity organizations have begun
n campaign of education to have ades
quate legislation enacted and the laws
enforced.
The country districts and little towns
suffer most from the hobo. but the ex-
pense involved prevents them from
dealing with the question with any de-
gree of severity. 1t is much cheaper
to order tramp to get out of town
than it is to try him and feed him in
Jail for a week or a month.
This move-on order rids the town Of

would be assisted by compelling every
tramp to break stone wheel dirt. or g.
hungry. This. with fine enforcement
of the crimianl laws by the local au-

simple and satisfactory solution of the
vagrancy problem"
- The superintendent of police of one
of the large eastern railroads says that
the greatest blow TO vagrancy would
be law passed by the legislature Of
every state making it Illegal to tres
pass on the right of way of a railroad.
At present, in PENNSYLVANIA. the tramp
cannot be punished for simply being on
the property of a railroad. though he
can be punished for stealing rides.
The Pennsylvania railroad has set
out to organize a police department.
