TRANPS COST
100000 EACH
DAY IN THE YEAR
Won't Work, Whole World Their
Prey and Jails a Welcome
Winter Home.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. 15.-
The cost Of tramps of the country
is 100000 a day" said Professor VIII
liam Bailey, of the chair of econo-
mics at Yale University, in an address
on "The American Tramp" before
the Hope Church Brotherhood.
"Jails are of no value in solving
the problem. Tramps discuss the rel
alive merits Of lock-ups and jails in
the various towns much as the or
binary citizen discusses summer re-
sorts.
after pros and cons have been
carefully weighed, the tramp decides
In which place he will commit mis-
demeanor which will esta blish him IN
comfortable jail for the winter"
There are four grades of tramps,
ranging from the lowest, the "toma to
can" variety, to gypsies, Profess n
Bailey says. The former, with the
proverbial can strung over his shout
der, Is not exaggerate In the least
In comic magazine caricatures.
The tomato can tramp Is old in ex-
perience II not in years. He knows
that he has not long to live, but seems
not to mind this phase of existence

two or three suits, one worn over the
other. He spends his days in begging
and sleeps in crates, on lawns or In
Railways.
Next above the Knights Of the To-
mato Can are the "dossers," so-called
because they have the price of bed
in doss house in which lodgings
may be had at from 5 to Is cents a
night. The "dosSer' Is vain s-d COO
siders himself respecta BILE citizen.
The everyday hobo" who comes
next in the scale, is more dignifiad
and OF higher grade of intelligence
than the "dosser"
The gypsy is the highest type IF
tramp though the American gypsy is
not really a gypsy at all. The gypsy
has two or three wagons, several
horses, more dogs and often numer-
Gus children, His principal occupa-
ton is swapping horses. The womsn
tell fortunes and the boys earn odd
nickels doing gymna site stunts.
The common occupat ton of gypsies
is picking pockets. County fairs are
veritable gold mines for them, and
the average gypsy has a fiourishing
bank account. The gypsy is the only
kind of tramp the authorities toler-
ate. The gypsy Is merely ordered 10
move on, and as result towns mere
ly swap undesirable characters, and
the gypsy, with his petty exasperat-
ing depredations, Is in q fair way TO
flourish indefinitely.

Persons in All Walks Of Life Fig

WASHINGTON, Nov 16.-With

the new commerce which the com
pletion of the Panama Canal will
bring being just around the corner
Of the calendar, rich men, poor men.
beggarmen, doctors, lawyers and mer-
chants are busy inquiring into what

Statisticians who delve among the

figures as to what the canal will
achieve.
Captains OF great ocean craft and
masters OF schooners and small tramp
steamers are busy figuring out winds
and courses.
1t is difficult for the people to grasF
the idea Of the Panama Canal at first.
II Is hard to realize that this project,
the pet idea of the United States, has
become something tangible. Because
the French Government and French
private syndicates made attempts to
pierce the Isthmus Of Panama and
failed, the project was for long time
considered by Americans to be an i'm
practicable scheme

Agita ton, the harbinger of achieve
ment, budded in the United States
through the hard labors of such men
as Senator John Tyler Morgan Of
Alabama, and General Floyd King, Of
Louisiana, and the 1sthmian Canal
Idea blossomed forth in spite OF for
elgn failures. 1t requires strong ar
gument to show the American people
that they could do what France had
failed to accomplish, But the dream
ers who, in their minds eye, saw the
seas united, won in the end and the
work began, Then came the era Of
real progress. With everything set
at full speed ahead, the human ants
dug away the land and changed the
face Of the earth to their liking.
And now that the hour for the first

ming to awake. Enthusiasm over this
tremendous engineering achievement
in breaking the shell OF its dormancy.
Everybody Is looking toward the Pan
anna Canal. The steamship com
panies are making excursion rates so
that the people may visit the great
project.
The United States Government, be-
side those persons and agencies men
toned, has been active in gathering
data regarding the commercial bene-
fits to be derived by the American
people as a result of the completion
of this waterway. The State Depart
ment has requested consular agents
everywhere TO send in reports.
Since the canal showed signs of
nearing completion, many Americans
have conceived the idea that it would
be we'll for them to specialize on
South America. simultaneously with
the greatest forward stride at Pam
anna, the Pan American Union was
organized.
This agency headed by John Bar
rett. has sought specially to cultivate
commercial, industrial, economic and
political relations with the Latin Re-
publics of the grand division below
the equator. and much has resulted
The Canal gives fair promise of being
one which will break all commercial
records for the United States.

And the remarkable feature OF the
