MONDAY
HObOeS and Roads

At the meeting OF the American
Roads Congress in Detroit a man
arose and declared hat he was the
king of the hoboes and asked to be
seated as a delegate to the Congress.
His claim was accepted. He was
professors and automobile men with
full credentials.
Probably for the first time in the
history of any country an acknowl-
edged tramp was given a place among
the members of a national associa-
ton. His claim was just and the &C
ton of the shows that the
delegates are broad-minded.
{. Jeff Davis said in that gathering
in Detroit: 81 have come on the
blind baggage from indianapolis. |
am interested in good roads as is
every hobo. Don't confuse hoboes
with tramps who disgrace our pro-
f~ession. The hobo wants work and
is idle through no fault OF his own
His statement impressed the mem
bers Of that convention so that he
was given a place among them. His
statement will strike a responsive
chord in the breasts of many men
who think on the subject.
A few years ago the writer was
waiting for a train in'Santa Clara. a
sober, middlc-agcd man carrying 4
roll OF bedding stopped on the plat
form to ask questions about the
towns between Santa Clara and San
Francisco. 1t was late in the fall
and he had been working on a ranch
south Of San Jose.
He was asked why he walked and
replied, ITO make money | have
been working all summer and have
plenty of money, but the outlook for
work for the present is not good.
Why should ] pay my money to the
railroad? can easily walk to the
city in two days and make a dollar
a day by doing so. ! don't know
how long my money will have to keep
me. ! walk because it is an easy way
to make money"
That is a view of the hobo that is
not generally seen. The Detroit
good roads convention took this
view of the man with the blankets.
1t would be we'll it the officers of
the law would recognize the fact that
every man that walks is not neces-
sarily a thief. Honesr men seeking
work walk from place to place to
save money. There is food for
though in the fact that a hobo was
given a place in a national gather
ing.

No action was taken Wednesday
morning by the board of public works
on the municipal ownership resolution
OF the council in committee Of the
whole authorizing the board TO employ
an expert to undertake an investiga-
ton Of the cost Of installing a muni-

Pres Otto Bastian of the board said
the matter Of employing an expert as

Opinion was freely expressed Wed

pert TO make the investigation with
a view to establishment Of a municipal
plant would result in the expenditure
of a large sum of money without re-
suit, as the city hasn't the funds to
build a plant now.
The resolution was fathered by
Councilman Rice and its effect may be

The expert was to be employ

what it will cost to install a munici-

if not to generate the current, then to

United States citizens were being
manufactured at the rate of about
one in five minutes in circuit court
Wednesday when the hearings of 95

fore Judge Funk by Martin Sturgis
chief of the naturalization bureau in
Chicago.
Hungary was represented by the
largest number who pledged allegi-
ance TO the United States. Russia.
Poland, Germany and Sweden were
also represented.
The examination yielded the usual
number of humorous answers, due in
great measure to the unfamiliarity Of
some applicants with the English Ian
guage. In several cases where a lack
of knowledge of the fundamentals of
United States government were re-
vealed the petitions were continued
and the APPLICANTS instructed to read
the constitution" and get posted.
One Of the applicants insisted that
the council made all the laws for the
United States and another said the
circuit court was the chief man in the
state Of Indiana. Another in reply to
a question on who elects the presi-
dent answered George Washing
ton"
