A RECLAMATION PROJECT.
Some Good Thoughts on How to
Deal With One Class of
People.

Perhaps the world doesn't owe a
man a living, but it does owe itself
the right to see that every able
bodied man earns the bread he eats;
and it owes every man opportunity
to earn bread. There should be no
such thing as professional vagrant
at large and no such thing as starva-
ton because of lack of opportunity
to work for food, heat and clothing.
1t is easy to say that none who are
willing to work need suffer, but the
cold fact is that very often such
persons and their families do suffer.
The easiest way-and the worst-is
to hurdy gurdy the professional
vagrant out of the city limits. The
truth is that we are going the wrong
way about our treatment of the
down and out, and those who are
down, but not out.
The professional should be put to
work, forced to work. He ought
not get in and out of town at his
own volition or by acceleration. The
debt he owes the world should be
collected in labor. The man, how
ever needless and improvident he
has been, should be able to find
work whereby he can earn food and
fire in his emergency. If he refuses
he should be taken in an iron grip
and forced to earn the necessities
his family lacks.
The main things are the work to
do, the place to do 1t, and the sta
tute comforting the power to set
idle, "doless'' and depraved men
busy at useful labor for wages, not
primarily as penalty, but as a
collection of debt due and to be
paid The excuse that work is not
to be had is best answered by sup
plying work.
We are losing millions of dollars
In labor every year, paying out mill
lions to watch, control and punish
non-producers, who should be made
10 produce. We drain non-produc-
tive lands and reclaim arid wastes.
Why waste million dollars day.

Officials Alleged Short.

Garner, Ia, April IA good
deal of interest is being manifested
here over the examination of the
county records now going on.
Thomas Duff, former county audi
tor, and at the present time state
oil inspector, was found short in
his accounts $4,000, which he has
put up. The former clerk of the
courts was short $500 and this has
been paid to the county. Ex-Auditor
Duff is now under bonds of $4,000
to appear before the grand jury at
the May term of court. The clerk
has. not been asked to appear as
yet. The experts are now going
through the treasnrer's books. SO
far they have not reported any
shortage in his accounts. The short
age in the accounts of Auditor Duff
has occasioned no little comment or
account of the position he holds as
state oil inspector.
