Tramps.

Railroad presidents have pledged
themselves to the National Confer
ence of Charities and Corrections to
assail the tramp problem with en-
ergy. The rude coupling-pin of
the brakeman is to be reinforced by
the fnesse of the railway detective
Local authorities will be asked to
cooperate with the men by severer
punishment of vagrancy.
There are relatively fewer tramps
now than in past ages, and prob
ably fewer in this country than in
Europe. Medieval literature is
full of references to wanderers.
Often they formed armed bands of
marauders and their leaders played
great parts in history. The vast
monasteries were their hotels. Lo-
cal tradition explains the almost in
accessible sites chosen for many
monasteries by the desire of making
it hard for tramps to climb up to
them to claim free bed and board
for the night. There were at one
time 100000 gysies in Scotland, as
many in England, half million or
more in Central Europe Their

the chalk mark on the gate of the
sympathetic housewife.
France, Germany and German
Austria have been severe with tramps,
yet they exist in large numbers.
Gorky has written depressing tales
of the "go-barefoot' men Of Russia.
Passports do not hinder them. In
this country they concentrate along
the main railroad lines. The most
skillful break-beam experts visit
New York during the open season
and go to California, Texas and
Florida at will. 1t is estimated by
a delegate to the conference that
they do $2,500,000 year damage
to railroads by causing wrecks and
robbing and burning stations. They
view with philosophic calm the
frantic farmer offering triple wages
to men who will help get in his
crops.
The difficulty with curing the
tramp problem is partly legal. Ii a
gentleman has leisure by tempera-
ment and a taste for travel, how are
you going to blast his predestined
career? How prove that he is not
always fastening to job in the
next county? Jail in winter is no
deterrent; in summer it is at worst
an annoyance. The efforts of the
railroad men to put down tramps
will be viewed with sporting inter
est and long odds will. lie against
them in the betting.-World.

war chief, the ones which were re-

them from the original grave, and

but the Indians were placated, -
having been destroyed in a fire at
Burlington many years ago. 1t has

war chiefs honor. The state in
which Black Hawk spent the great
er part of his life and where he
started his people on the war path
and where he died has allowed his
memory to lapse.
In Wisconsin, however, it has
been otherwise, Black Hawk mem
orial having been dedicated last
week on the site of the original Fort
Atkinson, a stockade which sprang
into existance during the Black
Hawk war. Credit is due to the To-

American Revolution for the work.

st. Louis, June 17.-Phoebe W.
Couzins, the first woman United
States marshal this country ever had,
for many years one of the most ardent
advocates of equal rights for women,
and prominent figure Mt every wom-
ans rights convention, declares that
suffrage for her sex has been failure.
She expressed the belief that the
country is not ready for women's
votes, and won't be for some time to
come. Miss Couzins declared that the
suffragists We're on the wrong track.
In demanding prohibition for the
District of Columbia, Miss Couzins
said the women again We're wrong.
She said prohibition does not neces-
sarily prohibit, and that it would be
absurd to establish such law for the
District of Columbia, where foreign
diplomats, who are used to their beer
and toddy, congregate.
