MAKING TRAMPS WORK.

A state farm for tramps is pro-
posed by Joseph c. Baldwin, Jr, OF
the New York state board o. e-.ar.-
ties, and he intends to place IL mat
ter before the legislature. Il plan
is to have tramps detained for long
period and made TO work, re- iar.1g
the institution self-supporting. Bald
win believes tramps will eve ua.ly
leave the state rather than work.
The basic idea is sound, whatever IS
to be said for the state farm detail Vi
the plan. The only way to meet the
tramp evil is by making the tramp
work-even if he is detained but II
hours. 1t is a problem in this state
quite as much as in New York.
