The Grass World.

oh, life is rife in the heart of the year,
When midsummer suns sail high;
And under the shadow of spike and
spear
In the depths of the daisy sky,
There's a life unknown to the careless
glance;
And under the stiffness and airy prance.
And slender, jointed things astir,
And gossamer wings in sunny
whir-
And a world of work and dance.
Soft in its throbbng, the conscious
green
Demurely answers the breeze;
While down in its tangle. in riotous
sheen,
The hoppers are bending their knees.
And only a beetle or numbering ant,
As he pushes a feathery spray ashanti
Or the sudden dip of fordging bird
with its vibrant trail of the clover
stirred,
Discovers the secret haunt.
I
All, the grass world dies in the autumn
days,
When studded with sheaf and stack,
The fields lie browning in sulen haze.
And creak in the farmers track
flushed is the tumult the daisies knew.
The hidden sport of the supple crew;
And lonely and dazed in the glare OF
the day
The stiff kneed hoppers refuse to play
In the stubble that mocks the blue,
For all things feel that the time is
drear
When life runs low in the heart of
the year.

showed that the average age at which

greatest work, 46.7: and that the av-

ANu-yAGRANT MOVEMENT

There is an appearance of what
might be called an anti-vagrant move
ment all over the country. An eastern
writer intimates that there are a half
million tramps in this country and he
Of this class were killed on the rail-
roads during the last ten years
The growth of the tramp class is due
to several causes but the main one is
summed up in the statement that con-
ditions have been made too easy for
idlers. The railroads have not policed
their lines as they should but have
transported such people from state to
state and from ocean to ocean by the
thousands. The roads have thus been
imposed upon by the Migrants until
they were less able to render adequate
and reasonable service to the rest of
the people Of the country. They have
falsely assumed that they had to put
up with about so much of this dead
beat traffic when in reality they should
have put up with none of 1t. Thew

shiftless to meet the changing seasons
and escape the better the burden of

municipal authorities has likewise en-
couraged the tramp. He has been
treated as one to whom the city owed
something when as a matter of fact if
owed him nothing and was under no
obligations to give him food or lodging
that he did not earn. The mistaken

philanthropy of individuals who have
been willing to contribute to all COM
ers with no questions asked has like
wise done its part in encouraging the
hobo.
In short it has been made too easy
in this country for such people to live
without work and the evils of vagrancy
will only be removed when incentives
to 1t have been removed.
What is needed is that the anti
vagrant movement should take such
shape that none shall eat idle bread
no one shall receive favors as a gra-
tuity for which he is able to render
an equivalent in work. If the rail-
roads and the municipalities and all
charitable persons will unite in en-
forcing this plan the tramp will dis
appear.
The municipal workhouse has been
suggested but with combined effort
to discourage idleness and encourage
labor and to deny free transportation
the tramp would cease to be a shifting
and a wandering quantity but would
be turned into a self-supporting citi-
zen in the local community in which
he belongs. In that case each COM
munity could take care of its own
poor and the burden would be a light
one. It should be said that the up
rising against vagrancy and the steps
being taken to eliminate 1t are among
the most encouraging signs of the
times

SHIPS WITHOUT SUBSIDIES.

A summary OF the SIilPUuAiNiiiS 40
dustry throughout the world has beer
compiled by the London shipping
World" and it shows that during 1907
the United States yards had larger
output in tonnage than any other
country except Great Britain.
Great Britain. which stands first on
the list, has to her credit a tonnage OF
1,673,121 tons of new ships, this fig
ure including such great ships as the
new Cunarders, Lusitania and Maure-
tania. This is, nevertheless, de-
crease from the total output OF the
British yards in 1905.
France and Japan are about tied
in the total tonnage Of their output,
the figures for the first named power
being 1O9,622. and for the last 49,
Oe5, but as stated, we are away ahead
of all others except England. Ger
many turned out a tonnage of 292,-
07s, while our output was 4SS,o6s. >
These figures show an increase over
1906. And, of course, they fatty con-
traddct the repeated assertion OF the
subsidy hunters that 1--WE cannot
build ships without a subsidy" Eng
land builds ships without a subsidy;
great many of them for Russia.
Germany, France, Belgium and other
maritime countries. as well as for
herself, the whole secret of 1t being
that she builds the supply to meet
the demand at home and abroad
We do the same. But the demand
for American built ships being much
smaller we take second place in the
matter of tonnage. The vessels we
build are mostly for the coastwise
trade, it is true, and that includes the
great trade on the lakes. But, the
principle is the same for the lakes as
for the ocean trade.
II there were no more demand for
vessels in the one case than in the
other, the number. or at least the tom
mage, would be about the same in
both. 1t pays better to build ships
for the lakes trade than for the
ocean in most cases. and so the de-
mand for the former exceeds the de-
mand for the latter. and the supply
keeps pace with that in both trades.
In plain terms, owing to our high
tariff policy and the protection given
by it to our shipbuilders. we are
beaten by the builders of other coun-
tries-one at least And a certain
ring of business adventurers longing
for an excuse to enrich themselves
still more at the expense of the peo-
pie, whine about the absence of the

the armpits in the public treasury by
