As a matter of fact We believe that a
large majority Of these so-called vagrants

particular trade. which in this day of
specialization makes them almost use

for humanity's sake to believe that. in
stead Of regarding this multitude as a
mass, to be condemned out of hand. they
should be regarded as individuals, each

own longing. Ii is by treating the indi-
vidual that the mass will be reached; and,
above all. it might be remembered that

above all things, friends. Given work, they
can win homes for themselves.
II is no answer to the problem to say
that the tramps are criminals, for there
are criminals in high places also-crimi-
nails with nothing like the incentive to
crime that the friendless wanderer has.
What is needed before the tramp problem
can hope for solution Is faith IN the in

which may be transmitted 10 these men
without hope, and. above all, charity,
which is the greatest OF these three

Gourdain n Tailor Now.

NouFGain ~ EAltoF now.
Louis A Gourdain. the lottery man.
formerly Of New Orleans. who created
something Of a sensation by his efforts
to break into Jail last summer, ought
to be entirely satisfied now. That is to
say, he is an inmate Of the Federal
prison at Atlanta. where, on his arrival
some six weeks ago. he was assigned to
the tailoring department. He has done
fair work as maker Of clothing and his
conduct has been good. The drop from
high fnancier TO tailor, from riches to
poverty, and from luxurious freedom TO
penitentiary existence. is considerable.
but Gourdain Is in good spirits. His Of
fense against the government was viola
ton Of the postal laws in connection with
his lottery business. Even while his law
yers were fighting to keep him out Of
prison. he was insisting on being incar-
cerated and at one time, while in Wash
ington during the period his case was
before the Supreme Court he made the
unique threat that if the government
did not furnish him a prison he would
build one for himself and entomb himself
