That every town be supplied with
sanitary closets, the school includ-
ed; that every place of business
be furnished with three Of four
spittoons; that a good sanitary well
be arranged; than an old negro man
be hired to work continually in the
town picking up and burning all
trash, carting away tin cans, keep
ing all the spittoons clean. cutting
down all the weeds in the business
part of town. keeping all the clos
cts in the business part clean; and
when not otherwise engaged he
can be kept filling holes in the
streets or cutting down rough plac-
'es on the sidewalk, and anthing else
that will keep things sanitary and
clean. Each business house could
contribute 30 cents a month, and
the town could appropriate the bal
ance of the old negro's salary. This
same negro could see after the
school closets and keep them clean.
Every one by this time evidently
knows that sanitary closet is one
built SO that even flies cannot reach
it, and of course it must be sup
piled with tubs.
The enterprising people in.
each town who like a clean nice
town, and one that is sanitary
ought to take up this matter at
once and see after it.

Now, in all professions, it's use
has become invaluable. The clergy

tions and makes out his bills on the

to be read before medical societies.

The Oliver Typewriter is unlike

ferent principal. 1t follows the line
of least resistance, rather than

With several hundred less parts
than ordinary typewriters, its eff

by tramps. AS matter of fact, it
is said, in nearly all these cases
mischievious small boys have work
ed the damage.
The advantage of having tramp
colonies where tramps could be
made to work has been advocated
many times by those who believe
in the plan. There are such col
onies in Europe. In Switzerland
there is a large one and, another
in Belgium, while SCORE or
more are scattered through Ger
many. 1t is a question with some
students of the tramp problem
whether such plan works out WELL
To my mind it is like taking a
bucketful of water out of a pond"
said one of those who had made
the tramp question a life study.
1T doesn't have any apreciable ef-
feet in decreasing the number or
tramps.'
James Forbes of the National As
ISOLATION for the Prevention of Men,
delaney thinks it would be good
thing if each railroad company OPP
Grated it's own quarry and the
tramps were set to work making
ballast for the road. Perhaps some
day some railroad presidents will
put this into effect.
The railroad companies say thae
tramps are responsible Tor mucn
damage to their property-that
their losses due to the incursions
of the hobo reach very large
figure annually and that sometimes
wrecks are caused by tramps VINO
have had encounters with tram
crews and set the breaks in revenge
The railroad police are the constant
foes of the tramp element, and
much of their time is occupied in
rounding them up.
Now that the spring exodus from
the cities is on, the pressure on
the missions, charitable societies
and bread lines will be relieved and
the total of petty thefts will be
greatly diminished, while the ranks
of the beggars on the streets Will
be appreciably lessened. 1t is not
the tramp who is responsible, say
some of those who have studied
hom. for the highway robberies and
the crimes of more important char
acter. but many of the small pilfer-
ings which occur during the winter
months can be traced to him. Now
the field of his operations will
change to the suburban districts
and to the railroads, where he
breaks into the box cars In search
of tobacco or eatab1es. Perhaps
now and then he will steal from a
silk train, but not often.
The stories about the tramps who
acquire riches may be put IN the
fable class. There are no rich
tramps. If they ever get any mon
ev they exchange it for liquor at
the corner saloon and die as poor
as the proverbial church mouse !
One of these days some wise man
will come forward with a plan
which will offer a solution of the
entire tramp problem, and he, or
some man of great wealth, will Gre
ate fund so that the question may
be dealt with on proper scale.
Until then the army of nomads will
increase and in course of time may
become so large that a solution will
have to be found speedily or the
army may become serious menace.
