practically "boss of the ward as far as the
patients went, at that moment. But | had

he would do nothing on the impulse OF the

that something had happened. Carson was
no longer bully and walk. He
was beaten man, or | never saw one. He
said himself that he was; was afraid he was
going to die, in fact, from the beating that
the attendant had given him.
The charge against the attendant was OF
course most serious one, and | therefore
summoned the man and questioned him.
He admitted that he had had "little tussle'

patient and examined him carefully; but
was unable to find any signs of injury except
a small lump on the point of the jaw, which
he might have received in anyone of the
numerous fights he had had with other pa
tents. The case against the attendant was
not established, and was recorded as one OF
the numerous exaggerated charges con-
stantly being made against keepers.
One thing was certain, however, from
that day on Carson was changed man. He
conducted himself properly at all times in
the halls, grew more cheerful, became the
best of friends with the attendant, and was
discharged six months later as cured. At
the time of his leaving the institution he took
particular pains to tell me how much he
thought of the attendant, considering him
the "best friend he ever had"

change of greetings he asked if | had ever

account of the transaction.

desperation by the exasperating conduct of
Carson, had taken him upstairs into small

GETTING RID OF THE TRAMP
Continued from page S

ate from vagrancy into crime. This ele-
ment is not to be classed as diseased, and
offers the most hopeful material for reform.
An important section of the able-bodied
vagabond group is made up of men whose
nervous systems are broken. This is the
neuropath, and while his body may be sound
his mind is governed by decisions, chief
among the manifestations of which is his
mania for tramping. The remainder of the
able-bodied Migrants are men who really
want work, those accustomed to doing only
odd jobs Casual workers., those unwilling
to do any work, and the misdemeanants.
1t is clear that the problem of able-bodied
tramps is to find work, or to be put where
they will be compelled to perform useful
labor A distinction must also be made be-
tween the man temporarily idle, because of
the sudden closing of the factory where he
was employed, and the permanently unem-
ployed due to the loss of the habit of work.
The effort to secure employment for a rela
lively brief period is different thing than
finding a permanent position. Where the
man concerned is blameless, the treatment
necessary is unlike that required in cases in
which the tramp is untitled for work
through his own fault. These considera-
tons indicate the reason for dividing tramps
into two classes, and putting the able-bodied
into the free labor colony.
1t is estimated that there are one hundred
and twenty-five thousand non-able-bodied
tramps in the United States. Some of them
are not to blame for their unemployment,
as they are disqualified through illness, acct
dent, or age. Others in this group are out of
work because their capacity has been
affected by intemperance. Some of the lat
ter can within a reasonable time be put on
their feet by removing them from the temp
tation to drink, as is proposed in the forced
farm colony, where they will be sent and
made to work out their salvation. Many of
them are doubtless permanently incapaci-
tated There are also the misdemeanants. In

squarely in the face and advocate the reforms
that will work as check. Obviously this
involves radical change in the methods OF
our lavish and highly organized charity. 1t
is not enough to place the entire emphasis on
the care of the man whose body breaks
down, and neglect the man whose nervous
system has been wrecked, who has lost his
courage, his capacity for initiative, and is
the first to be discharged in industrial de-
pressions.
1t is men of this type, those who are ex-
hausted as a result of several generations of
overwork, who 60 out to tramp the rail-
roads and highways looking for new en-
ployment, and finally succumb to drink or
wanderlust. But as long as the man whose
disordered brain sets him to wandering over
the country, or the boy who has acquired
the habit of stealing rides on the trains in
search of adventure, can stand alone, soc1-
ETY. does not interfere unless it be by an occa-
sional arrest for vagabondage and a brief
commitment to the workhouSe. This helps
to fasten the bonds of vagrancy on the
tramps and makes it more difficult for them
to secure employment.
The problem is complicated because the
public Unfortunately confounds under the
one term tramp" every homeless wanderer,
whether he be the innocent victim of existing
conditions and honestly seeks position or,
on the other hand deliberately preys on the
community, infesting the public highways
damaging farm and suburban property,
terrorizing women, and carrying disease from
city to country throughout the land.
TT is worth while to recognize the fact that
there are four distinct groups in the army
of five hundred thousand tramps now wan
dering slowly through the Middle and West
ern States toward large cities, where already
the bread lines are filling up. Able-bodied
tramps comprise three-fourths of the total.
First there is the boy under twenty -one who

dormitory, locking the door from the inside
and leaving the KEY in the lock. The beds
had been pushed back leaving clear space
perhaps fifteen feet square in the middle. In
this space lay pair of boxing gloves, which
the attendant proceeded to pull on, telling
Carson to strip and get ready for a "good,
swift fight" as Carson put it. "Now, young
fellow" the keeper continued "either you
are going to get licked, or | am! Both of us
can't run that ward. If you put me out of
business, there's the key to the door; you
can take it and go where you please. If you
don't-well, you'll know after this who
running that ward, that's all.
Carson jumped at the chance. He was
bigger and he believed stronger than the
keeper, and until that time had never been
whipped in his life. Furthermore, he was
bare listed, while the keeper wore the boxing
gloves-for what reason Carson did not find
out till later. But when the fight began the
scales fell from his eyes, SO to speak; tor the
attendant, it seems, was a crack boxer.
Rush and swing, jab, upper cut, bite, or butt
as Carson would, he could not reach his man.
And meanwhile he was receiving steady
pummeling over the solar plexus and on the
neck,-in places that counted; but where
the blows left no mark. In five minutes he
had been knocked down as many times, and
1lflal SWING on the point put MN uoWlI
and out. The next thing he remembered
was the attendant standing over him, srnil-
ing and asking if he had had enough. He
had.
1t was that evening that he had COM
planned to me about his beating. And when
he attempted to prove his case by showing
his bruises he realized why the attendant
had worn gloves and why he had aimed his
blows so persistently at his stomach and
neck. Soft gloves against soft tissues left
no telltale marks.
From Carson's point of view his position
was hopeless. Here was a man who could
whip him any time he pleased, and from
whom there was no getting redress. But the
general effect, curiously enough, was to be
most beneficial. Now for the first time he
was obliged to govern his heretofore uncon-
trollable temper that had been getting him
into trouble all his life. As result he grew
better mentally day by day, and came to
look upon his conqueror as true benefactor.
Il had been needing that licking all my
life," he said, "and if someone had given it
to me ten years before got it should never
have been either lunatic or a convict.
